Mathematically detecting stock market bubbles before they burst

Posted: 31 Oct 2011 07:06 PM PDT

From the dotcom bust in the late nineties to the housing crash in the run-up to the 2008 crisis, financial bubbles have been a topic of major concern. Identifying bubbles is important in order to prevent collapses that can severely impact nations and economies. A mathematical model has now been proposed for the detection of financial bubbles in order to prevent their collapse.

Fighting violent gang crime with math

Mathematicians working with the Los Angeles Police Department to analyze crime patterns have designed a mathematical algorithm to identify street gangs involved in unsolved violent crimes -- the first scholarly study of gang violence of its kind.

Boosting LED efficiency: Zinc oxide microwires improve performance of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) through the piezo-phototronic effect

Posted: 31 Oct 2011 09:12 AM PDT

Researchers have used zinc oxide microwires to significantly improve the efficiency at which gallium nitride light-emitting diodes (LED) convert electricity to ultraviolet light. The devices are believed to be the first LEDs whose performance has been enhanced by the piezo-phototronic effect.

World's most efficient flexible organic light-emitting diodes created on plastic

Posted: 31 Oct 2011 09:12 AM PDT

Researchers have developed the world's most efficient organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) on plastic. This result enables a flexible form factor, not to mention a less costly, alternative to traditional OLED manufacturing, which currently relies on rigid glass.

A SHARP new microscope for the next generation of biochips

Posted: 31 Oct 2011 09:12 AM PDT

Scientists are building the world's most advanced extreme-ultraviolet microscope to study and design the photolithography masks, materials, patterns, and architectures essential to the next generation of integrated circuits.

Rethinking equilibrium: In nature, large energy fluctuations may rile even 'relaxed' systems

Posted: 31 Oct 2011 09:02 AM PDT

Scientists have shown that large energy fluctuations can rile even a "relaxed" system, raising questions about how energy might travel through structures ranging from the ocean to DNA.
