| Antenna-on-a-chip rips the light fantastic Posted: 16 Nov 2012 01:11 PM PST A lab produces a micron-scale spatial light modulator like those used in sensing and imaging devices, but with the potential to run orders of magnitude faster.  |
| Nano insights could lead to improved nuclear reactors Posted: 16 Nov 2012 01:10 PM PST In order to build the next generation of nuclear reactors, materials scientists are trying to unlock the secrets of certain materials that are radiation-damage tolerant. Now researchers have brought new understanding to one of those secrets -- how the interfaces between two carefully selected metals can absorb, or heal, radiation damage.  |
| Posted: 16 Nov 2012 09:46 AM PST Polymers, in everything from shopping bags to ski boots, make our material world what it is today. Researchers are working to understand their structure and predict their behavior.  |
| Melt water on Mars could sustain life, new research suggests Posted: 16 Nov 2012 05:56 AM PST Near surface water has shaped the landscape of Mars. Areas of the planet's northern and southern hemispheres have alternately thawed and frozen in recent geologic history and comprise striking similarities to the landscape of Svalbard. This suggests that water has played a more extensive role than previously envisioned, and that environments capable of sustaining life could exist, according to new research.  |
| Beating the dark side of quantum computing Posted: 16 Nov 2012 05:56 AM PST A future quantum computer will be able to carry out calculations billions of times faster than even today's most powerful machines by exploit the fact that the tiniest particles, molecules, atoms and subatomic particles can exist in more than one state simultaneously. Scientists and engineers are looking forward to working with such high-power machines but so too are cyber-criminals who will be able to exploit this power in cracking passwords and decrypting secret messages much faster than they can now.  |
| Medical vital-sign monitoring reduced to the size of a postage stamp Posted: 15 Nov 2012 11:14 AM PST Electrical engineers have developed new technology to monitor medical vital signs, with sophisticated sensors so small and cheap they could fit onto a bandage, be manufactured in high volumes and cost less than a quarter.  |
