Untangling unknown structures in the mix

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 06:54 AM PST

The characterization of individual components in an unknown crystalline powder mixture is a challenge that has eluded scientists for many years. Now, researchers have for the first time invented a methodology to accurately determine the crystal structures present in such mixtures.

Multifunctional testing instrument helps improve production of laser-heated hard disk drives with enhanced storage capacities

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 06:54 AM PST

Today''s hard disk drives can hold terabytes of digital data, but manufacturers are having trouble squeezing more storage capacity into these devices using conventional procedures. Now, a new technique that promises to solve this impasse -- heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) -- can be integrated more efficiently into future hard drives thanks to an analytical tool.

A long-lived catalyst facilitates the first steps toward a viable small-scale on-board hydrogen generator

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 06:54 AM PST

Researchers are helping to advance the development of hydrogen-powered cars by producing innovative materials that could make on-board hydrogen generators a reality. Hydrogen is a renewable resource with the potential to power everything from households to cars, but its use is currently limited by a lack of green and practical production methods.
