Forging a New Periodic Table Using Nanostructures: Artificial Atoms and Bonds Provide a New Set of Building Blocks for Future Materials
February 17, 2013 — Scientists have developed a new set of building blocks based on nanoparticles and DNA. Using these tools, scientists will be able to build -- from the bottom up, just as nature does -- new and useful ... > full story -
Tough, Light and Strong: Lessons from Nature Could Lead to the Creation of New Materials
February 14, 2013 — In a sweeping review of the field of bio-inspired engineering and biomimicry, two engineers have identified three characteristics of biological materials that they believe engineers would do well to ... > full story -
Safe Glass Facades for Buildings
February 14, 2013 — Glass facades are attractive, but they also have to be safe. Say if a bomb were to go off nearby, would they withstand the blast? Researchers are using a shock tube to find out, and one of their ... > full story -
Engineers Show Feasibility of Superfast Materials: 'Organic Topological Insulators' for Quantum Computing
February 13, 2013 — Engineers demonstrated it is feasible to build the first organic materials that conduct electricity on their edges, but act as an insulator inside. These materials, called organic topological ... > full story -
Quake Test: Can NYC's Row Houses Handle an Earthquake?
February 13, 2013 — Researchers will conduct a rare -- if not unprecedented -- large-scale earthquake simulation to determine how vulnerable New York's unreinforced masonry buildings (row houses) are to ... > full story -
Wireless Power Transfer Technology for High Capacity Transit
February 12, 2013 — Scientists have developed a wireless power transfer technology that can be applied to high capacity transportation systems such as railways, harbor freight, and airport transportation and logistics. ... > full story -
Virtual Vehicle Vibrations: Predicting Role of Posture in Traffic Collision Injuries
February 11, 2013 — A researcher has designed a computer program that allows engineers to accurately predict the role posture plays in transferring the stress of vehicle motion to bone and muscle in the head and ... > full story -
Lack of Energy an Enemy to Antibiotic-Resistant Microbes
February 11, 2013 — Researchers "cured" a strain of bacteria of its ability to resist an antibiotic in an experiment that has implications for a long-standing public health ... > full story -
New Light Shed on the Mysteries of Spider Silk
February 6, 2013 — Researchers have now measured all of the elastic properties of an intact spider's web, drawing a remarkable picture of the behavior of one of nature's most intriguing structures. The work could lead ... > full story -
Predicting a Low Carbon Future for Toronto
February 6, 2013 — Cities are major players in the climate change game. More than half of the world's population lives in urban areas and over 70 percent of global GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions can be attributed to ... > full story
