| Researchers strike gold with nanotech vaccine Posted: 25 Jun 2013 04:25 PM PDT Scientists have developed a novel vaccination method that uses tiny gold particles to mimic a virus and carry specific proteins to the body's specialist immune cells. The technique differs from the traditional approach of using dead or inactive viruses as a vaccine and was demonstrated in the lab using a specific protein that sits on the surface of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).  |
| Laser guided codes advance single pixel terahertz imaging Posted: 25 Jun 2013 11:12 AM PDT By using a laser beam to send a detailed set of instructions that create a coded aperture, researchers have enabled a new method that may help tame terahertz waves in order to create new imaging technology.  |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2013 11:12 AM PDT Scientists have announced a world record of 31.1 percent conversion efficiency for a two-junction solar cell under one sun of illumination.  |
| Posted: 25 Jun 2013 09:13 AM PDT Potent gasoline-like biofuels are needed to fuel millions of cars with internal combustion engines, and current biofuels don't pack the necessary power. Now scientists have programmed bacteria to tailor-make key precursors of high-octane biofuels that could one day replace gasoline.  |
| New laser shows what substances are made of; could be new eyes for military Posted: 25 Jun 2013 09:12 AM PDT A new laser that can show what objects are made of could help military aircraft identify hidden dangers such as weapons arsenals far below.  |
| Spatial training boosts math skills Posted: 25 Jun 2013 09:12 AM PDT Training young children in spatial reasoning can improve their math performance, according to a groundbreaking study.  |
| Averting worse economic collapses Posted: 25 Jun 2013 09:12 AM PDT By managing macro-economic parameters, scientists believe that -- unlike previously thought -- it is possible to steer an economy around irreversible changes in its complex dynamics and avert potential economic disasters.  |
| Video game tech used to steer cockroaches on autopilot Posted: 25 Jun 2013 09:12 AM PDT Researchers are using video game technology to remotely control cockroaches on autopilot, with a computer steering the cockroach through a controlled environment. The researchers are using the technology to track how roaches respond to the remote control, with the goal of developing ways that roaches on autopilot can be used to map dynamic environments -- such as collapsed buildings.  |
| Efficient production process for coveted nanocrystals Posted: 25 Jun 2013 09:11 AM PDT A formation mechanism of nanocrystalline cerium dioxide (CeO2), a versatile nanomaterial, has been unveiled. This finding potentially simplifies and alleviates the existing synthetic processes of nanocrystalline CeO2 production.  |
| Ten thousandth near-Earth object discovered in space Posted: 25 Jun 2013 08:21 AM PDT More than 10,000 asteroids and comets that can pass near Earth have now been discovered. The 10,000th near-Earth object, asteroid 2013 MZ5, was first detected on the night of June 18, 2013, by the Pan-STARRS-1 telescope, located on the 10,000-foot (convert) summit of the Haleakala crater on Maui.  |
| Programming model for supercomputers of the future Posted: 25 Jun 2013 04:35 AM PDT The demand for even faster, more effective, and also energy-saving computer clusters is growing in every sector. The new asynchronous programming model GPI from Fraunhofer ITWM might become a key building block towards realizing the next generation of supercomputers.  |
| Three planets in habitable zone of nearby star: Gliese 667c reexamined Posted: 25 Jun 2013 04:35 AM PDT Astronomers have combined new observations of Gliese 667C with existing data to reveal a system with at least six planets. A record-breaking three of these planets are super-Earths lying in the zone around the star where liquid water could exist, making them possible candidates for the presence of life. This is the first system found with a fully packed habitable zone.  |
| NMR advance brings proteins into the open Posted: 24 Jun 2013 12:26 PM PDT A key protein interaction, common across all forms of life, had eluded scientists' observation until a team of researchers cracked the case by combining data from four different techniques of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.  |
