| New robotic fish glides indefinitely Posted: 16 Jan 2013 01:45 PM PST A high-tech robotic fish has a new look. A new skill. And a new name. Scientists have made a number of improvements on their fish, including the ability to glide long distances, which is the most important change to date.  |
| Using snail teeth to improve solar cells and batteries Posted: 16 Jan 2013 10:14 AM PST A professor is using the teeth of a marine snail found of the coast of California to create less costly and more efficient nanoscale materials to improve solar cells and lithium-ion batteries.  |
| New nanoscale coating won't get wet; Repels most liquids Posted: 16 Jan 2013 09:35 AM PST A nanoscale coating that's at least 95 percent air repels the broadest range of liquids of any material in its class, causing them to bounce off the treated surface, according to the engineering researchers who developed it.  |
| Mathematical breakthrough sets out rules for more effective teleportation Posted: 16 Jan 2013 08:17 AM PST Theoretical physicists have shown that quantum law of 'entanglement' may hold the key to eventual teleportation of quantum information. Now, for the first time, researchers have worked out how entanglement could be 'recycled' to increase the efficiency of these connections. The result could conceivably take us a step closer to sci-fi style teleportation in the future, although this research is purely theoretical in nature.  |
