Freezing: A Phenomenon That 'Jumps'
The freezing of suspensions
of particles is not always a
uniform phenomenon; in
certain conditions it leads
to a modification of the
redistribution of particles
and the growth of crystals.

Engineer Discovers Why Particles Disperse on Liquids
November 18, 2009 — Even if you are not a cook, you might have wondered why a pinch of flour (or any small particles) thrown into a bowl of water will disperse in a dramatic fashion, radiating outward as if it was ... > full story -
Using Darwin in Helping to Define the Biological Essentiality of Silicon and Aluminium
November 17, 2009 — In this year, 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin and the 150th anniversary of the publication of ‘On the Origin of Species’ a UK scientist has used Darwin’s seminal ... > full story -
Researchers Find Reliable, Mess-Free Way to Grow Graphene
November 17, 2009 — Single layers of carbon atoms, called graphene sheets, are lightweight, strong, electrically semi-conducting -- and notoriously difficult and expensive to make. Now, scientists have invented a simple ... > full story -
Predicting the Effectiveness of Metal Catalysts
November 17, 2009 — Catalysis is a process that is widely used in industry to synthesize molecules or materials. However, determining catalytic mechanisms is a major challenge for modern chemistry. Researchers have now ... > full story -
Tiny Bubbles Clean Oil from Water
November 16, 2009 — Small amounts of oil leave a fluorescent sheen on polluted water. Oil sheen is hard to remove, even when the water is aerated with ozone or filtered through sand. Now, an engineer has developed an ... > full story -

Quantum Gas Microscope Offers Glimpse Of Quirky Ultracold Atoms
November 12, 2009 — Physicists have created a quantum gas microscope that can be used to observe single atoms at temperatures so low the particles follow the rules of quantum mechanics, behaving in bizarre ways. The ... > full story -
Unexpected Properties Of Nanostructures: When Holes Obscure The View
November 12, 2009 — Metals are opaque: they reflect light almost completely. For that reason they are utilized as mirrors; as films deposited onto a glass -- you find them in any bathroom. If the metal film is very ... > full story
