A mineral way to catalysis?

Posted: 10 Feb 2012 08:05 AM PST

Catalytic materials, which lower the energy barriers for chemical reactions, are used in everything from the commercial production of chemicals to catalytic converters in car engines. However, with current catalytic materials becoming increasingly expensive, scientists are exploring viable alternatives.

What lies beneath: Mapping hidden nanostructures within materials, and perhaps cells

Measurements from high-energy collision experiments lead to a better understanding of why meson particles disappear.

Barriers to the use of fingerprint evidence in court is unlocked by statistical model

Posted: 09 Feb 2012 07:20 AM PST

Fingerprints that are potential key pieces of evidence in court currently are not being considered due to shortcomings in the way this evidence is reported. Now, a statistical model has been developed that enables the weight of fingerprint evidence to be expressed in quantitative terms, paving the way for its full inclusion in the process of identifying criminals, according to a new report.
