DNA with the naked eye
Researchers have come a long way in being able to detect subtle details of DNA molecules that show disease or susceptibility to diseases... [more]
Synthetic protein folding
Life's myriad biochemical processes depend on the type of molecule, the molecule's shape, and how the shape changes in response to the environment. [more]
Laser-made micro gels on acid
Make microscopic objects by firing lasers into solutions of proteins rather than the usual liquid plastics and you get biocompatible structures that change shape with changes in acidity or other chemical properties. [more]
Nano bubbles boost boiling
Put a layer of copper nanorods on the bottom of a pot and water boils with 10 times less energy than required using an ordinary pot. [more]
Spinning out nanotube transistors
Spin carbon nanotubes onto a specially coated surface and semiconducting nanotubes separate from metallic tubes, congregate and align -- all in one step. [more]
Software reads faces for comprehension
Software that automatically recognizes facial expressions measures how difficult people perceive a lecture to be and the pace they'd prefer the material to be delivered. [more]

| "Physics
is to the rest of science what machine tools are to engineering. A
corollary is that science places power in our hands which can be used
for good or ill. Technology has been abused in this way throughout
the ages from gunpowder to atomic bombs." - John Pendry, Imperial College London |
