Chemists use nature as inspiration for a sustainable, affordable adhesive system
Glue holds the world together. Without adhesives, much of modern human civilization—including our cellphones, cars, furniture, walls and the packages arriving on our doorstep—would simply fall apart......»»
Spintronics: X-ray microscopy unravels the nature of domain walls
A new study at BESSY II analyzes the formation of skyrmions in ferrimagnetic thin films of dysprosium and cobalt in real time and with high spatial resolution. This is an important step towards characterizing suitable materials with skyrmions more p.....»»
How hidden details in ancient Egyptian tomb paintings are revealed by chemical imaging
The walls of ancient Egyptian tombs can teach us much about the lives of the pharaohs and their entourages. Tomb paintings showed the deceased and their immediate family members involved in religious activities, the burial itself, or feasting at banq.....»»
Engineers test printed electronics in space
Today's small spacecraft pack sensors, guidance and control, and operating electronics into every available space. Printing electronic circuits on the walls and structures of spacecraft could help future missions do more in smaller packages......»»
Newly identified protein regulates the creation of cellulose in plant cells
Cellulose—an integral component of plant cell walls—is an important source of food, paper, textiles and biofuels, but how its creation is regulated within plant cells has remained unclear. Now, a team led by researchers at Penn State has identifi.....»»
Pace off: NASA Goddard acoustics chamber and US marine band turn up the volume
With a light flick of the conductor's baton and a unified breath from each member, the band started playing the two deep and ominous notes easily recognized as the theme of "Jaws." The sounds echoed off the walls of the acoustics chamber at NASA's Go.....»»
Walls along River Nile reveal ancient form of hydraulic engineering
An international team of researchers who discovered a vast network of stone walls along the River Nile in Egypt and Sudan say these massive "river groins" reveal an exceptionally long-lived form of hydraulic engineering in the Nile Valley, and shed l.....»»
