DNA Brings Materials to Life: DNA-Coated Colloids Help Create Novel Self-Assembling Materials
June 13, 2013 — A colloid is a substance spread out evenly inside another substance. Everyday examples include milk, styrofoam, hair sprays, paints, shaving foam, gels and even dust, mud and fog. One of the most ... > full story -
Light-Carved 'Nano-Volcanoes' Hold Promise for Drug Delivery
June 13, 2013 — Researchers have developed a method for creating "nano-volcanoes" by shining various colors of light through a nanoscale "crystal ball" made of a synthetic polymer. These nano-volcanoes can store ... > full story -
Smart Technology Makes Its Way Into Lighting
June 13, 2013 — The lighting systems of the future could be multi-purpose devices not dissimilar to smart phones. In the future, lighting will not just allow us to see but could also be used to survey surroundings, ... > 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 -
New Quantum Dot Technique Combines Best of Optical and Electron Microscopy
June 12, 2013 — Researchers have developed a new microscopy technique that uses a process similar to how an old tube television produces a picture to image nanoscale features. Combining the best features of optical ... > 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 -
Luminous Bacterial Proteins Detect Chemicals in Water
June 12, 2013 — Scientists have developed a simple color sensor principle which facilitates the detection of residual medications, trace metals from industrial process waters, and many other substances. This is the ... > full story -
New Kind of Variable Star Discovered: Minute Variations in Brightness Reveal Whole New Class of Stars
June 12, 2013 — Astronomers have found a new type of variable star. The discovery was based on the detection of very tiny changes in brightness of stars in a cluster. The observations revealed previously unknown ... > full story -
Global Quantum Networks Based on Optical Fibers: Scientists Quantum Mechanically Couple Atoms to Glass Fiber Cables
June 12, 2013 — Researchers have quantum mechanically couple atoms to glass fiber cables. Now, they have shown that their technique enables storage of quantum information over a sufficiently long period of time to ... > full story -
Sunny Super-Earth? Atmosphere of Super-Earth Exoplanet Observed for Time First by Two Japanese Telescopes
June 12, 2013 — Astronomers have observed the atmosphere of super-Earth "GJ3470b" for the first time using two telescopes. This super-Earth is an exoplanet, having only about 14 times the mass of our home planet, ... > full story
