An international team of researchers including scientists at the Carnegie Institution has discovered a new chemical compound that consists of a single element-boron. Chemical compounds are conventionally defined as subst...
The shapes of some of the tiniest cellular structures are coming into sharper focus at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Farm Research Campus, where scientists have developed a new imaging technology that produces the best three-dimensional resolution ever seen with an optical microscope.
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE:A) and the National University of Ireland (NUI), Galway, today announced the opening of a Biological Mass Spectrometry Facility on the NUI Galway campus. The state-of-the-art facility is fully equipped with the latest accurate-mass quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) and triple quadrupole (QQQ) mass spectrometer platforms from Agilent.
These objects are all chiral - they cannot exactly superimpose their mirror image by translation or rotation. A common example of this is human hands - a right hand cannot superimpose itself into its mirror image, a left...
The drivers of Rice University's nanocars were surprised to find modified versions of their creation have the ability to roll at room temperature. While practical applications for the tiny machines may be years away, the breakthrough suggests they'll be easier to adapt to a wider range of uses than the originals, which had to be heated to 200 degrees Celsius before they could move across a surface.
Veeco Instruments Inc. (Nasdaq: VECO), the leading provider of atomic force microscopes (AFMs) to the nanoscience community, announced today the release of its Dimension® Icon(TM) AFM. Building upon the world's most utilized large-sample AFM platform, the latest member of Veeco's Dimension product line delivers the highest resolution, best ease-of-use, and fastest time-to-results of any large-sample AFM on the market today.
To most people, the word "ceramics," refers to opaque clay flower pots or translucent porcelain tea cups. But not all ceramics block or scatter light. Gary L. Messing, distinguished professor of ceramic science and engineering, and his group at Pennsylvania State University, are developing a brand new class of ceramics that are so pure and perfectly transparent, they can be used as a substitute for crystals in solid-state lasers.
At the human scale, the tightly wrapped spinning columns of air in a tornado contain terrifying destructive power that ravages communities. At the nanoscale, however, closely coiled magnetic vortices hold the promise of a new generation of computers.
On 4 January 2004, NASA's-rover "Spirit" landed safely on Mars after a seven-month voyage through space. Three weeks later, its twin "Opportunity" also touched down unharmed on the red planet. Bot...
The anisotropy imaging technique is now available for the serial equipment of the LSM 710 laser scanning microscope from Carl Zeiss. It supplements the special imaging techniques such as RICS (Raster Image Correlation Spectroscopy) and FCS (Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy) already possible with the LSM 710.
