Nanotechnology Research May Have Come up with Explanation as to Where and How North Sea Oil Clings to Underground Rocks

It is a mystery to many people why the world is running out of oil when most of the world's oilfields have only been half emptied. However some of the oil that has been located is trapped as droplets of oil in small cavities in the surrounding rock or is stuck to the walls of the underground cavity and cannot be accessed by the techniques currently used in the oil industry.

Tunable Fluidic Micro Lenses Can Focus and Direct Light at Will to Count Cells or Create On-Chip Optical Tweezers

Like tiny Jedi knights, tunable fluidic micro lenses can focus and direct light at will to count cells, evaluate molecules or create on-chip optical tweezers, according to a team of Penn State engineers. They may also provide imaging in medical devices, eliminating the necessity and discomfort of moving the tip of a probe.
