| Posted: 18 May 2012 04:23 PM PDT Researchers have detected a possible planet, some 1,500 light years away, that appears to be evaporating under the blistering heat of its parent star. The scientists infer that a long tail of debris -- much like the tail of a comet -- is following the planet, and that this tail may tell the story of the planet's disintegration. According to the team's calculations, the tiny exoplanet, not much larger than Mercury, will completely disintegrate within 100 million years.  |
| Attraction or repulsion? New method predicts interaction energy of large molecules Posted: 18 May 2012 10:28 AM PDT Scientists have developed and validated a more accurate method for predicting the interaction energy of large molecules, such as biomolecules used to develop new drugs.  |
| Functional coatings from the plasma nozzle Posted: 18 May 2012 10:28 AM PDT These coatings offer protection against rust, scratches and moisture and also improve adhesion: Surfaces with a nano coating. A new plasma process enables these coatings to be applied more easily and cost-efficiently -- on an industrial scale.  |
| New silicon memory chip may offer super-fast memory Posted: 18 May 2012 10:25 AM PDT The first purely silicon oxide-based "resistive RAM" memory chip that can operate in ambient conditions -- opening up the possibility of new super-fast memory -- has now been developed.  |
| Measuring transient X-rays with lobster eyes Posted: 18 May 2012 07:27 AM PDT A technology that mimics the structure of a lobster's eyes is now being applied to a new instrument that could help revolutionize X-ray astronomy and keep astronauts safe on the International Space Station.  |
| Chemists merge experimentation with theory in understanding of water molecule Posted: 18 May 2012 05:11 AM PDT Using newly developed imaging technology, chemists have confirmed years of theoretical assumptions about water molecules, the most abundant and one of the most frequently studied substances on Earth.  |
| Google goes cancer: Search engine algorithm finds cancer biomarkers Posted: 17 May 2012 04:31 PM PDT The strategy used by Google to decide which pages are relevant for a search query can also be used to determine which proteins in a patient's cancer are relevant for the disease progression.  |
| Quantum physicists show a small amount of randomness can be amplified without limit Posted: 16 May 2012 06:30 AM PDT Once again quantum physics gives us philosophical implications: physicists have shown how a small amount of randomness can be amplified without limit.  |
