"Everyone uses surface plasmon resonance sensors. They are a multi billion-dollar industry worldwide," said Akhlesh Lakhtakia, the Charles Godfrey Binder (Endowed) professor of engineering s...
Power and Electrical Engineering |Sandia researchers have developed a process that can mix tiny volumes of liquid, even in complicated spaces.Researchers currently use all types of processes to try and create mixing, with only...
Physics and Astronomy |Reactive gas-filled vapour cells can be used in frequency standard devices, especially as a cavity in <b>atomic clocks</b>, where the time is delivered during the hyperstructure transition...
Technology Offerings |Images from one of the Magnetospheric Imaging Instrument’s sensors, the Ion and Neutral Camera (MIMI/INCA), on NASA’s Cassini spacecraft suggest that the heliosphere may not have the comet-like shape ...
Physics and Astronomy |Searching for biomarkers that can warn of diseases such as cancer while they are still in their earliest stage is likely to become far easier thanks to an innovative biosensor chip developed by Stanfo...
Life Sciences |New fabrication techniques have enabled the development of on-chip mechanical elements whose dimensions are on the nanometre (one millionth mm) scale. Their application, however, has been limited by t...
Physics and Astronomy |The results are promising for new applications in nanotechnology, such as sensors and detectors. In particular graphite could be a promising candidate for a biosensor material. The results will appear...
Physics and Astronomy |"In 2009, cosmic ray intensities have increased 19% beyond anything we've seen in the past 50 years," says Richard Mewaldt of Caltech. "The increase is significant, and it could me...
Physics and Astronomy |Researchers from Northwestern University and Boise State University have figured out how to produce a less expensive shape-shifting "memory" foam, which could lead to more widespread applica...
Materials Sciences |The team’s work has the long-term goal of developing quantum computers, but it has borne fruit that may have more immediate application in medical science. Their finding that a candidate “quantum bit”...
Physics and Astronomy |This collective condition is called - named for its intellectual fathers - Bose-Einstein condensate. Physicists at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) have now succeeded for the first time...
Physics and Astronomy |Fish and some amphibians possess a unique sensory capability in the so-called lateral-line system. It allows them, in effect, to "touch" objects in their surroundings without direct physical...
Physics and Astronomy |"We have shown that it is numerically possible to cloak objects of any shape that lie outside the cloaking devices, not just from single-frequency waves, but from actual pulses generated by a mul...
Physics and Astronomy |An experimental atomic clock based on ytterbium atoms is about four times more accurate than it was several years ago, giving it a precision comparable to that of the NIST-F1 cesium fountain clock, th...
Physics and Astronomy |For years, scientists have been fascinated by the tantalizing possibilities of these particles for their potential applications in electronic display devices, sensors and many other devices.Ho...
