| Researchers measure nanometer scale temperature Posted: 19 Dec 2011 05:39 PM PST Researchers have developed a new kind of electro-thermal nanoprobe that can independently control voltage and temperature at a nanometer-scale point contact. It can also measure the temperature-dependent voltage at a nanometer-scale point contact.  |
| Research could improve laser-manufacturing technique Posted: 19 Dec 2011 12:27 PM PST Engineers have discovered details about the behavior of ultrafast laser pulses that may lead to new applications in manufacturing, diagnostics and other research.  |
| Quantum computing has applications in magnetic imaging Posted: 19 Dec 2011 10:52 AM PST Quantum computing -- considered the powerhouse of computational tasks -- may have applications in areas outside of pure electronics, according to experts.  |
| Posted: 19 Dec 2011 08:20 AM PST Water splitting in photo-electrochemical cells to yield hydrogen is a promising way to sustainable fuels. Scientists have now made major progress in developing highly efficient electrodes – made of an algal protein, thus mimicking a central step in natural photosynthesis.  |
| Living 'neon signs' composed of millions of glowing bacteria Posted: 19 Dec 2011 07:22 AM PST In an example of life imitating art, biologists and bioengineers have created a living neon sign composed of millions of bacterial cells that periodically fluoresce in unison like blinking light bulbs.  |
| Chemicals and biofuel from wood biomass Posted: 19 Dec 2011 07:22 AM PST A new method makes it possible to use microbes to produce butanol suitable for biofuel and other industrial chemicals from wood biomass. Butanol is particularly suited as a transport fuel because it is not water soluble and has higher energy content than ethanol.  |
| Ultra-compact dwarf galaxies are bright star clusters Posted: 19 Dec 2011 07:20 AM PST A new statistical study sheds light on the so-called 'ultra-compact dwarf galaxies' (UCDs). A team of astronomers has investigated how many of these UCDs exist in nearby galaxy clusters and groups. They show that the properties of UCDs match those of bright star clusters.  |
