Liquid or solid? Charged nanoparticles in lipid membrane decide
(12 Nov 2008)
Like water and ice cubes mixed in a glass, a group of organic compounds called lipids can coexist as liquid and solid in membranes. This patchiness in phospholipid membranes is fundamental to their use as biomolecules and biosensors. Using charged ...

New recipe for self-healing plastic includes dash of food additive
(17 Oct 2008)
Adding a food additive to damaged polymers can help restore them to full strength, say scientists at the University of Illinois who cooked up the novel, self-healing system. The repair process, in which solvent-filled microcapsules embedded in an ...

Improved technique determines structure in membrane proteins
(19 Aug 2008)
Understanding the form and function of certain proteins in the human body is becoming faster and easier, thanks to the work of researchers at the University of Illinois. By combining custom-built spectrometers, novel probe designs and faster pulse ...

Femtogram-level chemical measurements now possible, U. of I. team reports
(31 Mar 2008)
Finding a simple and convenient technique that combines nanoscale structural measurements and chemical identification has been an elusive goal. With current analytical instruments, spatial resolution is too low, signal-to-noise ratio too poor, ...

'Superdense' coding gets denser
(26 Mar 2008)
The record for the most amount of information sent by a single photon has been broken by researchers at the University of Illinois. Using the direction of "wiggling" and "twisting" of a pair of hyper-entangled photons, they have beaten a fundamental ...

New process makes nanofibers in complex shapes and unlimited lengths
(01 Feb 2008)
The continuous fabrication of complex, three-dimensional nanoscale structures and the ability to grow individual nanowires of unlimited length are now possible with a process developed by researchers at the University of Illinois.Based on the rapid ...

New buffer resists pH change, even as temperature drops
(16 Jan 2008)
Researchers at the University of Illinois have found a simple solution to a problem that has plagued scientists for decades: the tendency of chemical buffers used to maintain the pH of laboratory samples to lose their efficacy as the samples are ...

Researchers develop better membranes for water treatment, drug delivery
(03 Dec 2007)
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new generation of biomimetic membranes for water treatment and drug delivery. The highly permeable and selective membranes are based on the incorporation of the functional water channel ...

Catalyst-free chemistry makes self-healing materials more practical
(29 Nov 2007)
A new catalyst-free, self-healing material system developed by researchers at the University of Illinois offers a far less expensive and far more practical way to repair composite materials used in structural applications ranging from airplane ...

UIC and Japanese chemists close in on molecular switch
(13 Jul 2007)
The electronics industry believes that when it comes to circuits, smaller is better -- and many foresee a future where electrical switches and circuits will be as tiny as single molecules.Turning this dream into reality may be a step closer, thanks ...
