Mammoth Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Used to Study Disordered Proteins

A pro at navigating the labyrinthine hallways in the Chemistry Building, Scott Showalter, researcher and associate professor of chemistry in Penn State's Eberly College of Science, maneuvers from his office, class and a handful of laboratories throughout the day. But it’s one workspace in particular, home to the ScholarSphere, a drum-shaped hunk of machinery — essentially a gigantic MRI on stilts — where Showalter is moving closer to the biomedical breakthrough he so desires.

Stapled Ultra-Thin Semiconductors Demonstrate Potential for Excellent Photovoltaic Energy Conversion

Extremely thin, semi-transparent, flexible solar cells could soon become reality. At the Vienna University of Technology, Thomas Mueller, Marco Furchi and Andreas Pospischil have managed to create a semiconductor structure consisting of two ultra-thin layers, which appears to be excellently suited for photovoltaic energy conversion

Biodegradable, Nanoscale Thin Films Release Drugs in Steady Doses Over a Long Period of Time

About one in four older adults suffers from chronic pain. Many of those people take medication, usually as pills. But this is not an ideal way of treating pain: Patients must take medicine frequently, and can suffer side effects, since the contents of pills spread through the bloodstream to the whole body.

Gold Nanoparticles Self-Assemble Into Small Clusters

This was determined using Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) at BESSY II. A thorough examination with an electron microscope (TEM) confirmed their result. "The research on this phenomenon is now proceeding because we are convinced that such nanoclusters lend themselves as catalysts, whether in fuel cells, in photocatalytic water splitting, or for other important reactions in chemical engineering", explains Dr. Armin Hoell of HZB. The results have just appeared in two peer reviewed international academic journals.
