New Catalyst Neutralizes Gases Responsible for Climate Change
June 13, 2013 New technology prevents nitrous oxide decomposing it into nontoxic products. The catalytic system is active, efficient and stable over time and can purify gases emitted by industries related to the ... > full story -
Discovery of New Material State Counterintuitive to Laws of Physics
June 12, 2013 When you squeeze something, it gets smaller -- unless you're among a group of scientists who have seemingly defied the laws of physics and found a way to apply pressure to make a material expand ... > full story -
Silicon-Based Nanoparticles Could Make LEDs Cheaper, Greener to Produce
June 12, 2013 Researchers have created a material they say would make LED bulbs cheaper and greener to manufacture, driving down the price. Their silicon-based nanoparticles soften the blue light emitted by LEDs, ... > full story -
BPA Linked to Obesity Risk in Puberty-Age Girls
June 12, 2013 Girls between nine and 12 years of age with higher-than-average levels of bisphenol-A (BPA) in their urine had double the risk of being obese than girls with lower levels of BPA, according to a new ... > full story -
Filmmaking Magic With Polymers
June 12, 2013 Self-assembled copolymer block film is now being fabricated with intricately organized nanostructures, giving them multiple functions and flexibility on a macroscale level never before ... > full story -
Cameras Five Times More Sensitive to Light? An Ultrasensitive Molybdenum-Based Image Sensor Developed
June 12, 2013 Scientist have built a prototype for an image sensor based on the semi-conducting properties of molybdenite. It could one day result in cameras that are five times more light sensitive than current ... > full story
