| Engineers unlock secrets of beetle flight Posted: 10 Apr 2012 01:35 PM PDT Mechanical engineers are using remote-controlled rhinoceros beetles to study the mechanics behind their ability to fly. Research findings could inform the next generation of aircraft design.  |
| Posted: 10 Apr 2012 11:59 AM PDT The data-routing techniques that undergird the Internet could increase the efficiency of multicore chips while lowering their power requirements. Today, a typical chip might have six or eight cores, all communicating with each other over a single bundle of wires, called a bus. With a bus, however, only one pair of cores can talk at a time, which would be a serious limitation in chips with hundreds or even thousands of cores, which many electrical engineers envision as the future of computing.  |
| Sulfur in every pore: Improved batteries with carbon nanoparticles Posted: 10 Apr 2012 10:07 AM PDT Lithium-sulfur batteries may be the power storage devices of the future. Newly developed porous nanoparticles containing sulfur deliver optimized battery performance.  |
| Miniature sensors may advance climate studies Posted: 10 Apr 2012 10:06 AM PDT An air sampler the size of an ear plug is expected to cheaply and easily collect atmospheric samples to improve computer climate models. The inexpensive tool can collect pristine vapor samples in the field. It also can monitor pollution and be employed medically.  |
| Posted: 10 Apr 2012 08:14 AM PDT In chemical industry, heterogeneous catalysis is of crucial iportance to the manufacture of basic or fine chemicals, in catalytic converters of exhaust gas, or for the chemical storage of solar energy. Scientists have now developed a new infrared spectroscopy method in order to study processes at surfaces of oxides used as catalysts.  |
