| Posted: 29 Apr 2013 01:49 PM PDT Scientists have found that liquid crystalline silicone stiffens significantly when compressed repeatedly for hours on end. The discovery may lead to new strategies for self-healing materials or biocompatible materials that mimic human tissues.  |
| Common component strategy could improve profits Posted: 29 Apr 2013 01:49 PM PDT Manufacturing using common components can actually reduce product line cannibalization, a finding that could allow firms to improve profits, says new research.  |
| 'Super-resolution' microscope possible for nanostructures Posted: 29 Apr 2013 12:42 PM PDT Researchers have found a way to see synthetic nanostructures and molecules using a new type of super-resolution optical microscopy that does not require fluorescent dyes, representing a practical tool for biomedical and nanotechnology research.  |
| Comparing proteins at a glance: Technique for easy comparisons of proteins in solution Posted: 29 Apr 2013 10:05 AM PDT A revolutionary X-ray analytical technique enables researchers at a glance to identify structural similarities and differences between multiple proteins under a variety of conditions and has already been used to gain valuable new insight into a prime protein target for cancer chemotherapy.  |
| Older is wiser: Study shows software developers' skills improve over time Posted: 29 Apr 2013 08:48 AM PDT There is a perception in some tech circles that older programmers aren't able to keep pace with rapidly changing technology, and that they are discriminated against in the software field. But a new study indicates that the knowledge and skills of programmers actually improve over time -- and that older programmers know as much (or more) than their younger peers when it comes to recent software platforms.  |
| Scientists control chirality in carbon nanotubes Posted: 29 Apr 2013 06:49 AM PDT An ultimate goal in the field of carbon nanotube research is to synthesise single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) with controlled chiralities. Twenty years after the discovery of SWNTs, scientists have managed to control chirality in carbon nanotubes during their chemical vapor deposition synthesis.  |
| Researchers design nanometer-scale material that can speed up, squeeze light Posted: 29 Apr 2013 06:46 AM PDT In a process one researcher compares to squeezing an elephant through a pinhole, researchers have designed a way to engineer atoms capable of funneling light through ultra-small channels.  |
