Process turns carbon nanotubes into liquid crystals
Rice University strategy turns negatively charged carbon nanotubes into liquid crystals that could enhance the creation of fibers and films.
Zinc could be a "golden" bullet for bioabsorbable stents
Some materials dissolve too quickly in the body, and some hang around forever — zinc, however, may be just right.
Old technique can be used to sort carbon nanotubes
An old, somewhat passé, trick used to purify protein samples based on their affinity for water has found new fans at NIST.
New materials for heart tissue regeneration
A new biomaterial for heart tissue regeneration, resembling live cardiac tissue in key characteristics, has been reported.
New super-resolution microscopy does not require dyes
Researchers have found a way to see synthetic nanostructures and molecules using a new type of optical microscopy that does not require fluorescent dyes.
New small angle scattering methods boost molecular analysis
Berkeley Lab Researchers develop new metrics for X-ray and neutron analysis of flexible macromolecules.
Nanomaterial developed to speed up light
100-nanometer-long “meta-atom” of gold and silicon oxide is capable of straightening and speeding up light waves.
New liquid crystal properties could boost self-healing materials
Rice University researchers find that silicone liquid crystals stiffen with repeated compression.
Generating UV from a light-speed mirror
Researchers succeed in generating flashes of extreme ultraviolet radiation via the reflection from a mirror that moves close to the speed of light.
