New Chemical Reaction Could Explain How Stars Form, Evolve, and Eventually Die
December 7, 2012 — Researchers have discovered a molecular-level interaction that science had puzzled over for decades but had never seen. That discovery, it turns out, may redefine how science views chemical compound ... > full story -
Greenland Ice Sheet Carries Evidence of Increased Atmospheric Acidity
December 7, 2012 — Studies have shown decreasing levels of the isotope nitrogen-15 in core samples from Greenland ice starting around the time of the Industrial Revolution. New research suggests the decline corresponds ... > full story -
Tiny Structure Gives Big Boost to Solar Power
December 6, 2012 — Researchers have found a simple and economic way to nearly triple the efficiency of organic solar cells, the cheap and flexible plastic devices that many scientists believe could be the future of ... > full story -
Silver Nanocubes Make Super Light Absorbers, Hold Great Potential for Solar Cells
December 6, 2012 — Microscopic metallic cubes could unleash the enormous potential of metamaterials to absorb light, leading to more efficient and cost-effective large-area absorbers for sensors or solar cells, ... > full story -
Seeing in Color at the Nanoscale: Scientists Develop a New Nanotech Tool to Probe Solar-Energy Conversion
December 6, 2012 — If nanoscience were television, we'd be in the 1950s. Although scientists can make and manipulate nanoscale objects with increasingly awesome control, they are limited to black-and-white imagery for ... > full story -
Researchers Craft Tool to Minimize Threat of Endocrine Disruptors in New Chemicals
December 6, 2012 — Researchers have developed a safety testing system to help chemists design inherently safer chemicals and ... > full story -
Harmful Greenhouse Gas Turned Into Tool for Making Pharmaceuticals: New Technique Finds Use for Ozone-Destroying Chemical Waste Product
December 6, 2012 — Chemists have developed a way to transform a hitherto useless ozone-destroying greenhouse gas that is the byproduct of Teflon manufacture and transform it into reagents for producing ... > full story -
World's Smallest Reaction Chamber
December 6, 2012 — The world's smallest reaction chamber, with a mixing volume measured in femtolitres (million billionths of a litre), can be used to study the kind of speedy, nanoscale biochemical reactions that take ... > full story -
NASA Investigates Use of 'Trailblazing' Material for New Sensors
December 6, 2012 — Tiny sensors -- made of a potentially trailblazing material just one atom thick and heralded as the "next best thing" since the invention of silicon -- are now being developed to detect trace ... > full story -
Flexible Silicon Solar-Cell Fabrics May Soon Become Possible
December 6, 2012 — For the first time, a silicon-based optical fiber with solar-cell capabilities has been developed that is capable of being scaled up to many meters in length. The research opens the door to the ... > full story
