Putting the squeeze on planets outside our solar system

Posted: 11 Feb 2012 06:53 AM PST

Using high-powered lasers, scientists have discovered that molten magnesium silicate undergoes a phase change in the liquid state, abruptly transforming to a more dense liquid with increasing pressure. The research provides insight into planet formation.

New method for creating tissue engineering scaffolds

Posted: 10 Feb 2012 10:33 AM PST

Researchers have developed a new method for creating scaffolds for tissue engineering applications, providing an alternative that is more flexible and less time-intensive than current technology.

Hovering not hard if you're top-heavy

Posted: 10 Feb 2012 10:32 AM PST

Top-heavy structures are more likely to maintain their balance while hovering in the air than are those that bear a lower center of gravity, researchers have found. Their findings are counter to common perceptions that flight stability can be achieved only through a relatively even distribution of weight—and may offer new design principles for hovering aircraft.

New method makes culture of complex tissue possible in any lab

Posted: 09 Feb 2012 02:29 PM PST

Scientists have developed a new method for making scaffolds for culturing tissue in three-dimensional arrangements that mimic those in the body. This advance allows the production of tissue culture scaffolds containing multiple structurally and chemically distinct layers using common laboratory reagents and materials.

New technology platform for molecule-based electronics
