Researchers have developed a new, printing process for organic thin-film electronics that results in films of strikingly higher quality.

A step closer to artificial livers: Researchers identify compounds that help liver cells grow outside body

Posted: 02 Jun 2013 11:46 AM PDT

The liver can indeed regenerate itself if part of it is removed. However, researchers trying to exploit that ability in hopes of producing artificial liver tissue for transplantation have repeatedly been stymied: Mature liver cells, known as hepatocytes, quickly lose their normal function when removed from the body. Now, researchers have identified a dozen chemical compounds that can help liver cells not only maintain their normal function while grown in a lab dish, but also multiply to produce new tissue.

Building 3-D fractals on a nano scale

It starts with one 3-D structure with eight planes, an octahedron. This repeats itself to smaller octahedra: 625 after just four steps. At every corner of a new octahedron, a successive octahedron is formed. A truly fascinating 3D fractal 'building' is formed on the micro and nano scale.

Artificial magnetic monopoles discovered

Posted: 31 May 2013 07:39 AM PDT

Scientists have managed to create artificial magnetic monopoles. To do this, they merged tiny magnetic whirls, so-called skyrmions. At the point of merging, the physicists were able to create a monopole, which has similar characteristics to a fundamental particle postulated by Paul Dirac in 1931. In addition to fundamental research, the monopoles may also have application potential.
