Chemical engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, using a catalytic fast pyrolysis process that transforms renewable non-food biomass into petrochemicals, have developed a new catalyst that boosts yield.
Engineering researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new method for creating advanced nanomaterials that could lead to highly efficient refrigerators and cooling systems requiring no refrigerants and no moving parts.
Britain's oldest and largest specialist stained glass conservation studio has recently embarked upon the conservation of York Minster's Great East Window with help from Carl Zeiss microscopes.
The prospect of electronics at the nanoscale may be even more promising with the first observation of metallic conductance in ferroelectric nanodomains by researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
The new UC San Diego-Roche Extending Innovation Network (EIN) program has been launched with selection of its first three research projects at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine.
This method, which can analyze a sample size as small as three cells, may allow clinicians to track cancer progress and treatments and could help them develop new therapies.
Sigma-Aldrich® Corporation has signed a five-year contract extension with Honeywell for the manufacture and supply of Riedel-de Haën® high purity solvents, Karl Fischer reagents and other laboratory chemicals.
Working with an international team, three physicists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have helped to demonstrate the feasibility of a new kind of particle accelerator.
In movie magic, people and objects can appear or disappear or move from place to place in an instant. Now, Cornell researchers have demonstrated a similar "temporal cloak" -- albeit on a very small scale.
