Nanoindentation Employed to Study Material Properties of Fossilized Teeth

A team of paleontologists and engineers has found that duck-billed dinosaurs had an amazing capacity to chew tough and abrasive plants with grinding teeth more complex than those of cows, horses, and other well-known modern grazers. Their study, which is published today in the journal Science, is the first to recover material properties from fossilized teeth. [More]

Scientists Create Three-Dimensional Nanodots on Micrometric Scale Silicon Films

Researchers belonging to the University of Limoges in France have demonstrated the possibility of creating three-dimensional silicon oxide nanodots on silicon films at the micrometric scale, within a few seconds. The nanodots are highly reproductive. [More]
