New way to study ground fractures Geophysics researchers have created a new way to study fractures by producing elastic waves, or vibrations, through using high-intensity light focused directly on the fracture itself.
Building a better light bulb: Energy efficient organic LEDs Incandescent light bulbs are energy hogs, but many people prefer them for the cozy quality of light they emit. Scientists in Germany have set out to build energy efficient organic LED (OLED) lights that could rival incandescent bulbs in white-light color quality.
Self-assembling nanorods: Researchers obtain 1-, 2- and 3-D nanorod arrays and networks Researchers have developed a relatively fast, easy and inexpensive technique for inducing nanorods to self-assemble into aligned and ordered macroscopic structures. This technique should enable more effective use of nanorods in solar cells, magnetic storage devices and sensors, and boost the electrical and mechanical properties of nanorod-polymer composites.
Nano-oils keep the electronic devices really cool Scientists have created a nano-infused oil that could greatly enhance the ability of devices as large as electrical transformers and as small as microelectronic components to shed excess heat.
Microscopy reveals 'atomic antenna' behavior in graphene Atomic-level defects in graphene could be a path forward to smaller and faster electronic devices. With unique properties and potential applications in areas from electronics to biodevices, graphene, which consists of a single sheet of carbon atoms, has been hailed as a rising star in the materials world. Now, a new study suggests that point defects, composed of silicon atoms that replace individual carbon atoms in graphene, could aid attempts to transfer data on an atomic scale by coupling light with electrons.
Oxygen molecule survives to enormously high pressures Using computer simulations, researchers have shown that the oxygen molecule (O2) is stable up to pressures of 1.9 terapascal, which is about nineteen million times higher than atmosphere pressure. Above that, it polymerizes, i.e. builds larger molecules or structures.
Protein purification alternatives Protein purification, often referred to as downstream processing, is the most costly and time-consuming process in the manufacture of bio-molecules. EU-funded researchers integrated materials science with process development to produce novel low-cost materials and methods for selective purification with a focus on chromatography, membrane separation and extraction.
How seawater could corrode nuclear fuel Japan used seawater to cool nuclear fuel at the stricken Fukushima-Daiichi nuclear plant after the tsunami in March 2011 -- and that was probably the best action to take at the time, say experts. But researchers have since discovered a new way in which seawater can corrode nuclear fuel, forming uranium compounds that could potentially travel long distances, either in solution or as very small particles.
Concerned with chemists changing the formula of illegal synthetic marijuana to get around Alabama law, two state senators have crafted bills to thwart rogue producers of those designer drugs.
Scientist's thirst for knowledge continued after retirement. LIFE-LONG LEARNER: Burlington resident Richard Bader took an interest in science at a very early age.
Figure 1: A scandium catalyst can catalyze the addition of a phenylsilane to anisole to give cleaner products, using fewer reagents, than achieved previously.

Last month we had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Paul Anastas, a senior advisor to the EPA and the man who coined the term "green chemistry." With growing populations and concerns of resource scarcity, we need not fall trap to Malthusian missives,A because history has proven that human ingenuity is the one inexhaustible resource.
