New robotic fish glides indefinitely

Posted: 16 Jan 2013 01:45 PM PST

A high-tech robotic fish has a new look. A new skill. And a new name. Scientists have made a number of improvements on their fish, including the ability to glide long distances, which is the most important change to date.

Using snail teeth to improve solar cells and batteries

Posted: 16 Jan 2013 10:14 AM PST

A professor is using the teeth of a marine snail found of the coast of California to create less costly and more efficient nanoscale materials to improve solar cells and lithium-ion batteries.

New nanoscale coating won't get wet; Repels most liquids

Posted: 16 Jan 2013 09:35 AM PST

A nanoscale coating that's at least 95 percent air repels the broadest range of liquids of any material in its class, causing them to bounce off the treated surface, according to the engineering researchers who developed it.

Mathematical breakthrough sets out rules for more effective teleportation

Posted: 16 Jan 2013 08:17 AM PST

Theoretical physicists have shown that quantum law of 'entanglement' may hold the key to eventual teleportation of quantum information. Now, for the first time, researchers have worked out how entanglement could be 'recycled' to increase the efficiency of these connections. The result could conceivably take us a step closer to sci-fi style teleportation in the future, although this research is purely theoretical in nature.

A researcher is developing more efficient ways to save costs, time and energy when creating nanomaterials and lithium-ion batteries.

Light from darkness: Brilliant stars emerging from dusty stellar nursery

Posted: 16 Jan 2013 06:14 AM PST

An evocative new image from the European Southern Observatory shows a dark cloud where new stars are forming, along with a cluster of brilliant stars that have already emerged from their dusty stellar nursery.

Virtual heart sheds new light on heart defect

Posted: 16 Jan 2013 06:06 AM PST

A virtual heart is revealing new information about one of the world's most common heart conditions. Researchers used cutting edge technology to build an advanced computational model of an anatomically correct sheep's heart. It was made by taking a series of very thin slices of the heart, imaging them in 2-D and then using a computer program to render them into a 3-D model.
