• Rice's origins point to China, genome researchers conclude

  Rice originated in China, a team of genome researchers has concluded in a study tracing back thousands of years of evolutionary history through large-scale gene re-sequencing. Their findings, which appear in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), indicate that domesticated rice may more

• Liquid method: pure graphene production

  In a development that could lead to novel carbon composites and touch-screen displays, researchers from Rice University and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology unveiled a new method for producing bulk quantities of one-atom-thick sheets of carbon called graphene. When stacked together, grap more

• Optical Legos: Building nanoshell structures

  Scientists from four U.S. universities have created a way to use Rice University's light-activated nanoshells as building blocks for 2-D and 3-D structures that could find use in chemical sensors, nanolasers and bizarre light-absorbing metamaterials. Much as a child might use Lego blocks to build 3- more
