Neutron researchers discover widely sought property in magnetic semiconductor (01 Dec 2008)
Researchers working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated for the first time the existence of a key magnetic — as opposed to electronic — property of specially built semiconductor devices. This discovery ......
'The photon force is with us': Harnessing light to drive nanomachines (01 Dec 2008)
Science fiction writers have long envisioned sailing a spacecraft by the optical force of the sun's light. But, the forces of sunlight are too weak to fill even the oversized sails that have been tried. Now a team led by researchers at the Yale ......
UCLA researchers create polymer solar cells with higher efficiency levels (01 Dec 2008)
Currently, solar cells are difficult to handle, expensive to purchase and complicated to install. The hope is that consumers will one day be able to buy solar cells from their local hardware store and simply hang them like posters on a wall. A ......
Emilio Bunel named new head of Argonne's Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division (28 Nov 2008) Bunel wanted to get back to his science roots after spending years in industry
Emilio Bunel has been named director of the Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory. "I decided to give myself four weeks to get to know my division," Bunel said. "I want to have a ......
CAS Registers 40 Millionth Substance in CAS registry (28 Nov 2008)
CAS Registry now includes 40 million organic and inorganic substances. CAS Registry Number(R) 1073662-18-6 recently was assigned to an azulenobenzofuran derivative. The 40 millionth substance was identified by a team of CAS scientists,C.H. ......
To make better MRI images, let the atoms spin out of control (28 Nov 2008)
Scientists in the USA and in France have made a new theoretical advance in atomic behavior that could lead to sharper magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pictures. The discovery could one day help enable the development of portable MRI machines. ......
NIST 'stress tests' probe nanoscale strains in materials (28 Nov 2008)
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated their ability to measure relatively low levels of stress or strain in regions of a semiconductor device as small as 10 nanometers across. Their recent ......
Mineral oil contamination in humans: A health problem? (27 Nov 2008)
From a quantitative standpoint, mineral oil is probably the largest contaminant of our body. That this contaminant can be tolerated without health concerns in humans has not been proven convincingly. The current Editorial of the European ......
NIST awards $24M in grants for new research facilities (27 Nov 2008)
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced that it is awarding grants totaling more than $24 million to three universities to provide cost-shared support for the construction of new scientific research facilities. The ......
