Loop the loop, DNA style: One- or two-way transcription depends on gene loops

Posted: 28 Sep 2012 05:52 AM PDT

Scientists have discovered that, by forming or undoing gene loops, cells manipulate the path of the transcription machinery -- which reads out instructions from DNA -- controlling whether it moves along the genetic material in one direction or two.

New method monitors semiconductor etching as it happens -- with light

Posted: 28 Sep 2012 11:10 AM PDT

Researchers have a new low-cost method to carve delicate features onto semiconductor wafers using light -- and watch as it happens. The technique can monitor a semiconductor's surface as it is etched, in real time, with nanometer resolution. This allows the researchers to create complex patterns quickly and easily, and adjust them as needed.

Probing the mysteries of cracks and stresses

Posted: 28 Sep 2012 09:54 AM PDT

Diving into a pool from a few feet up allows you to enter the water smoothly and painlessly, but jumping from a bridge can lead to a fatal impact. The water is the same in each case, so why is the effect of hitting its surface so different? This seemingly basic question is at the heart of complex research by a team that studied how materials react to stresses, including impacts. The findings could ultimately help explain phenomena as varied as the breakdown of concrete under sudden stress and the effects of corrosion on various metal surfaces.

Nanoparticles glow through thick layer of tissue

Electrons confined inside nano-pyramids

Posted: 28 Sep 2012 07:37 AM PDT

Quantum dots are nanostructures of semiconducting materials that behave a lot like single atoms and are very easy to produce. Given their special properties, researchers see huge potential for quantum dots in technological applications. Before this can happen, however, we need a better understanding of how the electrons "trapped" inside them behave. Physicists have recently observed how electrons in individual quantum dots absorb energy and emit it again as light.

Nanosciences: All systems go at the biofactory

Saturn’s moon Titan shows surprising seasonal changes

Mars weather report: Gale crater set for summer heat wave?

Posted: 28 Sep 2012 05:52 AM PDT

Preliminary weather reports from the Curiosity's Remote Environment Monitoring Station (REMS) are showing some surprisingly mild temperatures during the day. Average daytime air temperatures have reached a peak of 6 degrees Celsius at 2pm local time.  A Martian day – known as a Sol – is slightly longer than Earths at 24 hours and 39 minutes.

Mars: Curiosity's DAN instrument suggests Gale Crater drier than expected

Posted: 28 Sep 2012 05:52 AM PDT

Preliminary data from the Curiosity Mars Science Laboratory indicate that the Gale Crater landing site might be drier than expected. The Curiosity rover is designed to carry out research into whether Mars was ever able to support life, and a key element of this search is the hunt for water. Although Mars has many features on its surface that suggest a distant past in which the planet had abundant liquid water in the form of rivers and lakes, the only water known to be abundant on Mars today is frozen, embedded in the soil, and in large ice caps at both poles.
