Inexpensive 'nano-camera' can operate at the speed of light Posted: 26 Nov 2013 12:59 PM PST A newly developed device could be used in medical imaging, collision-avoidance detectors for cars, and interactive gaming.

Finding hidden circles may improve social network privacy settings Posted: 26 Nov 2013 12:59 PM PST Creating a computer program to find relationships in networks, such as Google Plus and Facebook, may help users more easily set up and maintain privacy settings, according to researchers.

Better combustion through plasma Posted: 26 Nov 2013 10:46 AM PST Scientists know that by introducing plasma to combustion, new chemical species are produced that catalyze the reaction. But no one knows precisely what species are involved, what the reactions are, and what their rates are. To better understand plasma-assisted combustion and to develop future technology, researchers are conducting experiments and creating computer models to determine which chemical processes are involved.

Polymer gel, heal thyself: Engineering team proposes new composites that can regenerate when damaged Posted: 26 Nov 2013 09:41 AM PST Researchers have developed models to design a new polymer gel that would enable complex materials to regenerate themselves.

A robot turtle will help underwater archaeologists to inspect shipwrecks Posted: 26 Nov 2013 06:24 AM PST A new highly maneuverable robot turtle has been designed to penetrate shipwrecks.
