Engineering algae to make fuel instead of sugar
(18 Dec 2008)
Optics Express research describes how tiny organism can make biofuel
In pursuing cleaner energy there is such a thing as being too green. Unicellular microalgae, for instance, can be considered too green. In a paper in a special energy issue of Optics Express, the Optical Society's (OSA) open-access journal, ...

Engineering nanoparticles for maximum strength
(23 Oct 2008)
Because they are riddled with defects, bulk crystalline materials never achieve their ideal strength; nanocrystals, on the other hand, are so small there's no room for defects. Yet while nanocrystalline materials may approach ideal strength in their ...

Scientists reveal effects of quantum 'traffic jam' in high-temperature superconductors
(29 Aug 2008)
Findings may point to new materials to get the current flowing at higher temperatures
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, in collaboration with colleagues at Cornell University, Tokyo University, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Colorado, have uncovered the first ...

New metamaterials that bend light backwards bring invisibility cloaks 1 step closer
(13 Aug 2008)
Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have for the first time engineered 3-D materials that can reverse the natural direction of visible and near-infrared light, a development that could help form the basis for higher resolution ...

A Phonon Floodgate in Monolayer Carbon
(24 Jul 2008)
The first STM spectroscopy of graphene flakes yields new surprises
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California at Berkeley have performed the first scanning tunneling spectroscopy of graphene flakes equipped with a "gate" ...

Engineers create new adhesive that mimics gecko toe hairs
(04 Feb 2008)
A new anti-sliding adhesive developed by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, may be the closest man-made material yet to mimic the remarkable gecko toe hairs that allow the tiny lizard to scamper along vertical surfaces and ...

Feeling the Heat: Berkeley Researchers Make Thermoelectric Breakthrough in Silicon Nanowires
(14 Jan 2008)
Energy now lost as heat during the production of electricity could be harnessed through the use of silicon nanowires synthesized via a technique developed by researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Lawrence Berkeley National ...

Physicists pin down atomic spin for spintronics
(21 Sep 2007)
Scientists who dream of shrinking computers to the nanoscale look to atomic spin as one possible building block for both processor and memory, yet setting the spin of an atom, let alone measuring it, has been a challenge.Now, University of ...
