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 -
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 -

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 -
Otolaryngologists Relieve Fluid-Filled Ear with Low-Tech Remedy
Ear infections are a common condition in children, reducing their hearing and often requiring surgery. A simple new device solves the problem for 85 percent of the patients. It unblocks the middle ... > 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 -
Doctors Catch Cancer Earlier with Special MRI
A new kind of MRI machine helps doctors diagnose breast cancer earlier. Patients lie on their stomach and their breasts are placed in two coils, which focus radio waves and allow for more complete ... > more -
Engineers Devise Light Bulb That Directs Light to Ease Reading
A new type of light bulb improves illumination conditions for reading. A chrome cap at its top directs light downwards, casting 40 percent more light on a printed page. The bulb is more expensive but ... > more
