Relaxors: Nanoscale properties of materials that can be used in electronic devices to change temperature or shape

Posted: 03 Aug 2012 08:08 AM PDT

Physicists have determined important information about the nanoscale properties of materials called relaxors, which can be used in electronic devices to change temperature or shape. The discoveries may help maximize efficient use of relaxors to create better medical ultrasound, sensors and heart implants.

Supernova progenitor found? New research identifies star system that may explode

Posted: 03 Aug 2012 07:30 AM PDT

Type Ia supernovae are violent stellar explosions. Observations of their brightness are used to determine distances in the universe and have shown scientists that the cosmos is expanding at an accelerating rate. But there is still too little known about the specifics of the processes by which these supernovae form. New research identifies a star system, prior to explosion, which will possibly become a type Ia supernova.

Major step taken towards 'unbreakable' message exchange
