Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, with funding from DOE's National Nuclear Security Administration, have devised ways to improve the performance of radiation detectors, such as those used by law enforcement agencies to locate and identify ...
Crafted with breakthrough manufacturing technique, centimeter-long fibers are visible to the naked eye
14-05-2007
Using techniques that could revolutionize manufacturing for certain materials, researchers have grown carbon nanotubes that are the longest in the world. While still slightly less than 2 centimeters long, each nanotube is 900,000 times longer than its diameter. The fibers - which have the ...

Physicians may someday monitor a patient's blood flow, blood pressure and temperature with tiny, implantable devices -- some small enough to be injected into a person's vascular system, thanks to research by a Cornell University professor and an Ithaca-area high-tech firm. Such tiny, ...
Simultaneous carbon dioxide and oxygen sensing
23-06-2006
Only plants can make sugars from the carbon dioxide byproduct and at the same time expel oxygen during photosynthesis. This amazing skill has intrigued scientists for decades but separating out the carbon dioxide inputs and outputs while keeping tabs on oxygen levels has always proved ...
