Tetrapod Nanocrystals Light the Way to Stronger Polymers
July 29, 2013 — Researchers have developed advanced opto-mechanical stress probes based on tetrapod quantum dots (tQDs) that allow precise measurement of the tensile strength of polymer fibers with minimal impact on ... > full story -
Novel Material for Cooling of Electronic Devices Discovered
July 29, 2013 — As microelectronic devices become smaller, faster and more powerful, thermal management becomes a critical challenge. This research provides new insight into the nature of thermal transport at a ... > full story -
New Coating May Help Joint Replacements Bond Better With Bone
July 29, 2013 — Researchers have found that bone cells grow and reproduce faster on a textured surface than they do on a smooth one —- and they grow best when they can cling to a microscopic shag carpet made ... > full story -
Seemingly Competitive Co-Catalysts Cooperate to Accelerate Chemical Reaction
July 29, 2013 — Chemists report that a new and counterintuitive strategy, inspired by computational studies, opened the door to the development of a substantially more efficient chemical reaction from a highly ... > full story -
Experimental Quest to Test Einstein's Speed Limit
July 29, 2013 — Special relativity states that the speed of light is the same in all frames of reference and that nothing can exceed that limit. UC Berkeley physicists used a novel experimental system -- the unusual ... > full story -

Virus to Control Potato Moth
July 29, 2013 — New biological insecticides have emerged in recent years which make use of so-called "entomopathogenic" viruses that are harmful to insects, in particular the baculovirus. To identify the virus in ... > full story -
Breakthrough in Detecting DNA Mutations Could Help Treat Tuberculosis, Cancer
July 28, 2013 — Researchers have developed a new method that can look at a specific segment of DNA and pinpoint a single mutation, which could help diagnose and treat diseases such as cancer and ... > full story -
Potential Well Water Contaminants Highest Near Natural Gas Drilling
July 26, 2013 — Researchers tested 100 samples from water wells in and near the Barnett Shale natural gas drilling area and found elevated levels of potential contaminants such as arsenic closest to active gas ... > full story -

Quantum of Sonics: Bonded, Not Stirred
July 26, 2013 — Researchers have discovered a new way to join materials together using ultrasound. Ultrasound -- sound so high it cannot be heard -- is normally used to smash particles apart in water. Scientists ... > full story -
Removing Pollutants and Contaminants from Wastewater
July 26, 2013 — Scientists have developed several effective processes for eliminating persistent pollutants from wastewater. Some of these processes generate reactive species which can be used to purify even highly ... > full story
