An incredible shrinking material

Posted: 07 Nov 2011 01:19 PM PST

They shrink when you heat 'em. Most materials expand when heated, but a few contract. Now engineers have figured out how one of these curious materials, scandium trifluoride, does the trick -- a finding, they say, that will lead to a deeper understanding of all kinds of materials.

Researchers ink nanostructures with tiny 'soldering iron'

Posted: 07 Nov 2011 01:02 PM PST

Researchers have shed light on the role of temperature in controlling a fabrication technique for drawing surface chemical patterns as small as 20 nanometers. This technique could provide an inexpensive, fast route to growing and patterning a wide variety of materials on surfaces for the fabrication of electrical circuits and chemical sensors, or for the study of how pharmaceuticals bind to proteins and viruses.

2-D electron liquid solidifies in a magnetic field
