U.S. to Dominate North American Graphene Market till 2020

Graphene has been majorly used to increase flexibility, transparency, and conductivity of electronics application and gradually evolved its reach to other application areas. The demand for graphene is high as it has excellent conductivity, tensile strength, transparency, and thermal stability. Graphene is being used as the preferred substitute for silicon and other incumbent materials by major manufacturers and suppliers globally.

Researchers Develop Nanoscale DNA Machines That Could Walk Autonomously

Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a nanoscale machine made of DNA that can randomly walk in any direction across bumpy surfaces. Future applications of such a DNA walker might include a cancer detector that could roam the human body searching for cancerous cells and tagging them for medical imaging or drug targeting.

Molecular Grain-Size of Methane Hydrates Determine Their Behavior

Methane hydrates are a kind of ice that contains methane, and that form at certain depths under the sea or buried in permafrost. They can also form in pipelines that transport oil and gas, leading to clogging. Yet methane hydrates are nearly impossible to study because it is very hard to get samples, and the samples themselves are highly unstable in the laboratory.
