New microfluidic approach for the directed assembly of functional materials Posted: 07 Oct 2013 04:08 PM PDT Researchers have developed a new approach with applications in materials development for energy capture and storage and for optoelectronic materials. The research shows that peptide precursor materials can be aligned and oriented during their assembly into polypeptides using tailored flows in microfluidic devices.

Making Martian clouds on Earth: Cloud-chamber experiments show that clouds on Mars form in much more humid conditions than clouds on Earth Posted: 07 Oct 2013 01:24 PM PDT Cloud-chamber experiments show that clouds on Mars form in much more humid conditions than clouds on Earth.

Better robot vision: Neglected statistical tool could help robots better understand the objects in the world around them Posted: 07 Oct 2013 12:18 PM PDT A researcher finds that a neglected statistical tool could help robots better understand the objects in the world around them.

Cells prefer nanodiscs over nanorods Posted: 07 Oct 2013 12:16 PM PDT For years scientists have been working to fundamentally understand how nanoparticles move throughout the human body. One big unanswered question is how the shape of nanoparticles affects their entry into cells. Now researchers have discovered that under typical culture conditions, mammalian cells prefer disc-shaped nanoparticles over those shaped like rods.

'White graphene' halts rust in high temps: Nano-thin films of hexagonal boron nitride protect materials from oxidizing Posted: 07 Oct 2013 08:21 AM PDT Films of hexagonal boron nitride a few nanometers thick protect materials from oxidizing at high temperatures.

Video game technology: Motion tracking technology is extremely precise, inexpensive with minimal lag Posted: 07 Oct 2013 08:21 AM PDT Researchers have devised a motion tracking technology that could eliminate much of the annoying lag that occurs in existing video game systems that use motion tracking, while also being extremely precise and highly affordable.

UltraHaptics: It's magic in the air Posted: 07 Oct 2013 07:49 AM PDT A system that allows users to experience multi-point haptic feedback above an interactive surface without having to touch or hold any device will be unveiled at a conference for innovations in human-computer interfaces.

Terahertz sensor aiming for Jupiter's moons Posted: 07 Oct 2013 06:40 AM PDT A high performance terahertz receiver aiming for space missions such as ESA's  "Jupiter icy moons explorer"  has now been developed.
