| Genius of Einstein, Fourier key to new computer vision that mimics how humans perceive 3-D shapes Posted: 20 Jun 2011 01:13 PM PDT Two new techniques for computer-vision technology mimic how humans perceive three-dimensional shapes by instantly recognizing objects no matter how they are twisted or bent, an advance that could help machines see more like people.  |
| Scientists find simple way to produce graphene Posted: 20 Jun 2011 01:13 PM PDT Scientists say they have discovered a simple method for producing high yields of graphene, a highly touted carbon nanostructure that some believe could replace silicon as the technological fabric of the future. The researchers report on a new method that converts carbon dioxide directly into few-layer graphene (less than 10 atoms in thickness) by burning pure magnesium metal in dry ice.  |
| Nanoparticles disguised as red blood cells will deliver cancer-fighting drugs Posted: 20 Jun 2011 01:13 PM PDT Researchers have developed a novel method of disguising nanoparticles as red blood cells, which will enable them to evade the body's immune system and deliver cancer-fighting drugs straight to a tumor.  |
| 'Smart materials' that make proteins form crystals to boost research into new drugs Posted: 20 Jun 2011 01:12 PM PDT Scientists have developed a new method to make proteins form crystals using "smart materials" that remember the shape and characteristics of the molecule.  |
| Posted: 20 Jun 2011 08:21 AM PDT A new light-emitting diode (LED) light uses an array of LEDs 100 times smaller than conventional LEDs. The new device has flexibility, maintains lower temperature and has an increased life-span over existing LEDs.  |
| Posted: 20 Jun 2011 07:38 AM PDT Engineers have designed a new microspectrometer architecture using compact doughnut-shaped resonators. An 81-channel instrument achieved 0.6-nanometer resolution over a spectral range of more than 50 nanometers with a footprint less than one square millimeter.  |
| Self-assembling electronic nano-components Posted: 20 Jun 2011 06:49 AM PDT Magnetic storage media such as hard drives have revolutionized the handling of information: huge quantities of data are magnetically stored while relying on highly sensitive electronic components. And data capacities are expected to increase further through ever smaller components. Researchers have now developed a nano-component based on a mechanism observed in nature.  |
| Nearer to using methane as a raw material Posted: 20 Jun 2011 06:48 AM PDT Researchers have developed a methodology for transforming the simplest hydrocarbon, methane, into more complex organic molecules. The importance of the finding lies in the need to employ in the near future methane as a raw material in the chemical industry.  |
| Mimicking nature at the nanoscale: Selective transport across a biomimetic nanopore Posted: 20 Jun 2011 06:45 AM PDT Researchers have established a biomimetic nanopore that provides a unique test and measurement platform for the way that proteins move into a cell's nucleus. In a new study, they report an artificial nanopore that is functionalized with key proteins which mimics the natural nuclear pore.  |
