Researchers Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new simple method for produce large amounts of graphene. The new technique operates at room temperature, requires little processing and paves the way for mass production and cost of graphene. An interdisciplinary team of researchers led by Swastik Kar, assistant research professor in the department of physics, applied [...]
Actually, you find yourself still looking for the answer to whether neutrinos are their own antiparticles. Since the same two messages come in the last week, showing evidence that neutrinos and antineutrinos behave slightly differently and are differently hard. The first result comes from the MINOS experiment. We had it been produced by the “long-baseline” [...]
As discussed in connection with the anniversary, the human genome sequencing has enabled research and development of gene therapy. Therapy is able to deal with genetic diseases in the affected cell by introducing a copy of the gene or genes that showed no changes. No easy task when you consider that one of the problems [...]
Iron nanoparticles 1,000 times thinner than a human hair have shown an unprecedented ability to clean contaminated groundwater since they were invented 10 years ago at Lehigh University. Image of a freshly prepared iron nanoparticles in a layer of palladium. The palladium coated particles are cured more than 50 toxic waste sites in the United [...]
Researchers at MIT found that using carbon nanotubes to an electrode of a battery produces a significant increase – up to ten times – in the amount of energy that could offer from a given weight of material, compared with a battery Conventional lithium ion. These electrodes may find applications in small portable devices, and [...]
A team of scientists from the Astrophysics Institute of Canarias (IAC) and the University of Texas succeeded in identifying one of the more complex organic molecules found so far in the matter between the stars, called interstellar space. The discovery of anthracene could help solve a mystery decades-old astrophysicist on the production of organic molecules [...]
