Cars of the future could be powered by their bodywork thanks to new battery technology

Parts of a car's bodywork could one day double up as its battery, according to the scientists behind a new €3.4 million project announced today.

Toward safer plastics that lock in potentially harmful plasticizers

Scientists have published the first report on a new way of preventing potentially harmful plasticizers - the source of long-standing human health concerns - from migrating from one of the most widely used groups of plastics. The advance could lead to a new generation of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastics that are safer than those now used in packaging, medical tubing, toys, and other products, they say. Their study is in ACS' Macromolecules journal.

Artificial bee silk a big step closer to reality

(PhysOrg.com) -- CSIRO scientist Dr Tara Sutherland and her team have achieved another important milestone in the international quest to artificially produce insect silk.

New method for measuring fluid flow in algae could herald revolution for fluid mechanics

Researchers in fluid dynamics have studied algae to illuminate fluid mechanics. One of the researchers said, "Nature has long inspired researchers in fluid mechanics to explore the mechanical strategies used by living creatures. Where better to look for innovative solutions to a technological challenge than to organisms that have had millions of years to devise strategies for related challenges?"

Industrial cleaner linked to increased risk of Parkinson's disease

Workers exposed to tricholorethylene, a chemical once widely used to clean metal such as auto parts, may be at a significantly higher risk of developing Parkinson's disease, according to a new study.

Growing cartilage: bioactive nanomaterial promotes growth of new cartilage

Researchers have designed a bioactive nanomaterial that promotes the growth of new cartilage in vivo and without the use of expensive growth factors. The therapy is minimally invasive, utilizes bone marrow stem cells and produces natural cartilage. Unlike bone, cartilage does not grow back, and it cannot effectively be replaced. Countless people learn this all too well when they bring their bad knees, shoulders and elbows to an orthopedic surgeon.

Perfectly shaped solid components

When metals are shaped, the materials they are made of are often damaged in the process. One cause of this is excessive press force, which cracks and perforates the material. By running simulations on a PC, research scientists can now calculate how to avoid component defects.

Sunny Record: Breakthrough for Hybrid Solar Cells

Scientists in Germany have succeeded in developing a method for treating the surface of nanoparticles which greatly improves the efficiency of organic solar cells. The researchers were able to attain an efficiency of 2 percent by using so-called quantum dots composed of cadmium selenide. These measurements, well above the previous efficiency ratings of 1 to 1.8 percent, were confirmed.

Busy Reception

Wine and cheese (and jazz band!) reception in the exhibit hall right now. Quite busy. Lots of interesting conversations going on all around us. Quite a party! Congratulations to the MRS for a successful event!

MRS meetings: shorter and sweeter?

So today, we're purportedly just over halfway through the MRS meeting, but there's been the predictable drop in attendees. There's always a peak on Monday (and it's still very well attended on Tuesday), but by Wednesday a lot of folks have apparently gone home or are doing other things. The quality of the speakers in still high and there are still important and entertaining invited speakers, but there are fewer people listening. By tomorrow, the packed rooms I commented on earlier will have an e… Continue
