Electrical Engineers Develop Microplasma Device to Detect Toxins
Electrical engineers have developed a new, portable lab that identifies chemicals by their unique color signatures. It is the first such device to be portable, allowing scientists to recognize ... > more -
Physicists Usher In Energy-Saving LED Lighting
Thanks to advances in physics, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) will soon move from traffic lights and electronics panels to home lighting, bringing dramatic energy savings, adjustable colors for ... > more -
FDA Approves Surgical Procedure to Alleviate Shoulder Pain
Patients who suffer from debilitating shoulder pain due to arthritis or to a torn rotator cuff may benefit from new kind of prosthesis. The procedure, which has been performed successfully in use in ... > more -
Materials Scientists Create Polymer Coating Against Fogged Glass
When moisture condenses on a cool surface, droplets can form that are the right size to scatter light, fogging up glass. A new polymer coating draws droplets into nanopores and transforms them into a ... > more -
Food Chemist Develops Protein-Based Batter for Healthier Frying
Deep-fried fish could get healthier with a new protein-based batter extracted from the muscle of discarded fish parts. When coated onto the fish it forms a barrier, locking in taste and moisture ... > more -
Mechanical Engineer Studies Nanoscale Effects of Hair Conditioners
Hair conditioners can help protect your hair by replacing natural oils that are lost while shampooing. But now, an atomic-force microscope reveals that some conditioners do not protect the hair ... > more -
Civil Engineers Test New Concrete for Stronger, More Durable Bridges
A new kind of concrete called Ductal will allow bridges to hold more weight and last longer. Made of a mixture of sand, cement, water, and small steel fibers, it is 10 times more expensive than ... > more -
New Tecnhique Reduces Flammable Exhaust Risks to Firefighters
Firefighters usually don't aim hydrants at smoke, to avoid producing steam that can come back and burn them. But smoke sometimes contains dangerous, flammable gases. Some U.S. fire departments are ... > more -
Polymer Sponge Catches Household Pollutants in Storm Drains
Storm drains fitted with a spongy material -- a synthetic polymer similar to those used in diapers -- can catch household pollutants such as paint and motor oil as they are washed off by the rain. ... > more -
Chemist Reviews Wine without Opening Bottle -- an 'MRI for Your Cab'
A new "wine scanner" measures the presence of chemicals in a bottle without opening it, assessing for example if too much oxygen seeped in and turned the wine into vinegar. In a procedure similar to ... > more
