Using the tools of synthetic biology, a JBEI research team engineered strains of two microbes, a bacteria and a yeast, to produce a precursor to bisabolane, a…
The system is especially suitable for use in computer centers that store sensitive data. That’s because loud noise can cause hard disk drives to fail. However,…
U of A engineering professor Dileepan Joseph and two graduate students produced a 3-D imaging system called Virtual Reflected-Light Microscopy. The technology…
Economising on targeted funding, for example for renewable energies, makes climate protection more expensive – as scientists of the Potsdam Institute for…
Wireless devices such as mobile phones rely on the radio spectrum to send and receive data. There is growing interest in using a worldwide unlicensed spectrum…
The lamps create a veritable web of light that overlays the display. If a user touches the screen, the motion interferes with the light grid at that particular…
University of Michigan computer science and engineering professor Kang Shin and doctoral student Xinyu Zhang will present their new power management approach…
The installed cost of solar photovoltaic (PV) power systems in the United States fell substantially in 2010 and into the first half of 2011, according to the…
These days, everyone talks about the use of solar energy for the generation of electricity. Conventional solar cells, however, use expensive materials and are…
During their testing of the new material, they have discovered that it can store and release hydrogen extremely fast and at low temperatures compared to…
The science of light and liquids has been intimately entwined since Léon Foucault discovered the speed of light in 1862, when he observed that light travels…
Cables made of carbon nanotubes are inching toward electrical conductivities seen in metal wires, and that may light up interest among a range of industries,…
In the article in C&EN's current edition, Senior Business Editor Melody M. Bomgardner explains that fracking or hydraulic fracturing involves pumping massive…
Frederic Sauvage, Michael Graetzel and colleagues describe research that aimed to develop an improved version of a highly promising solar cell that is less…
Wiring systems powered by highly-efficient superconductors have long been a dream of science, but researchers have faced such practical challenges such as…
Long-wavelength terahertz light is invisible – it's at the farthest end of the far infrared – but it's useful for everything from detecting explosives at the…
