In current health lore, antioxidants are all the rage, as “everybody knows” that reducing the amount of “reactive oxygen species” -- cell-damaging molecules that are byproducts of cellular metabolism -- is critical to staying healthy. What everyone doesn’t know is that our bodies already have a complex set of processes built into our cells that handle these harmful byproducts of living and repair the damage they cause.

Cheaper clean-energy technologies could be made possible thanks to a new discovery. Research team members led by Raymond Schaak, a professor of chemistry at Penn State, have found that an important chemical reaction that generates hydrogen from water is effectively triggered -- or catalyzed -- by a nanoparticle made of nickel and phosphorus, two inexpensive elements that are abundant on Earth.

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a method for creating “nano-volcanoes” by shining various colors of light through a nanoscale “crystal ball” made of a synthetic polymer. These nano-volcanoes can store precise amounts of other materials and hold promise for new drug-delivery technologies.

Researchers at FOM Institute AMOLF in Amsterdam and EPFL in Lausanne have developed a new way to measure tiny displacements with light. By confining plasmons in a resonant cavity that is only 20 nanometers wide, they could precisely measure mechanical motion smaller than the size of an atom. Their work is published this week in the journal Nano Letters.
