| Bioelectric signals can be used to detect early cancer Posted: 01 Feb 2013 06:08 AM PST Biologists have discovered a bioelectric signal that can identify cells that are likely to develop into tumors. The researchers also found that they could lower the incidence of cancerous cells by manipulating the electrical charge across cells' membranes.  |
| An ideal material: Solving a mystery leads to the discovery of a true topological insulator Posted: 01 Feb 2013 05:22 AM PST Experimentalists have recently confirmed that SmB6 is the first true 3D topological insulator —- as originally predicted by theorists in 2010. Topological insulators have been discussed widely as a new area of material science, with the potential to study quantum Hall physics and exotic states such as Majorana fermions. While this finding provides a conclusion to one mystery, it is also the beginning of a new chapter that will certainly lead to a clearer understanding of this strange physics and even new quantum devices.  |
| A possible answer for protection against chemical/biological agents, fuel leaks, and coffee stains Posted: 31 Jan 2013 09:09 AM PST A recent discovery may very well lead to a process that not only benefits every uniformed service member of the U.S. Department of Defense, but everyone else as well: protection from chemical/biological agents, to self-cleaning apparel, to effortless thermal management, to fuel purification as well as enhanced control of leaks -- especially oil and fuels.  |
