EU researchers have shown how small nanotech particles suspended in a liquid separate out by size as the liquid evaporates, an effect that can lead to techniques for making layered structures that improve the performance of many everyday products, such as sun cream and electronics.

In a world first, a Flinders University designed wastewater treatment system has been accepted as an alternative to existing passive lagoon systems for use in South Australia. The new system is smaller, faster and more effective at cleaning wastewater and creates the potential to reclaim more water for alternative use, according to Flinders University's Professor Howard Fallowfield.

A team from the University of Wyoming and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory improved a popular atmospheric model by adding a new way to depict carbon-containing atmospheric particles. The improvement accounts for fresh smoke that is composed almost entirely of organic and soot particles.These particles are not washed out from the atmosphere quickly, and may drift through the atmosphere, far from their source before removal.

Superconductors have long been confined to niche applications, due to the fact that the highest temperature at which even the best of these materials becomes resistance-free is minus 70ºC. Nowadays they are mainly used in magnets for nuclear magnetic resonance tomographs, fusion devices and particle accelerators.

National Electronics Week, taking place on 12th-14th April at the NEC, Birmingham, supported by NPL (National Physical Laboratory) & SMART Group, will offer visitors the opportunity to experience the most demanding rework challenges in the industry in one exhibition feature - the Experience - sponsored by publisher andresource to the global electronics industry,Electronic Specifier.

The Elveflow OB1 Mk3 brings about a stable and pulseless flow control independently up to 4 channels for a wide range of microfluidic applications. The Elveflow OB1 MK3 belongs to a wide range of compatible highly efficient microfluidic devices which have made of the Elveflow brand a leader on the market of microfluidic instrumentation a few years only after its creation.

What if you could make any object out of a flat sheet of paper? That future is on the horizon thanks to new research by L. Mahadevan, the Lola England de Valpine Professor of Applied Mathematics, Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, and Physics at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS).

Researchers in Germany have been able to grow the inner-most layer of fallopian tube cells in the lab for the first time. Rather than using them to develop transplants for women, the lab-grown cells are instead intended to help scientists further their knowledge of how diseases and infection develop, and subsequently spread, from the tube into other parts of a woman’s reproductive system.

An adaptive material invented at Rice University combines self-healing and reversible self-stiffening properties. The Rice material called SAC (for self-adaptive composite) consists of what amounts to sticky, micron-scale rubber balls that form a solid matrix. The researchers made SAC by mixing two polymers and a solvent that evaporates when heated, leaving a porous mass of gooey spheres.

With virtual reality becoming bigger and bigger every week and having a bigger demand now days, PlayStation have announced its own VR. Meet PlayStation VR, the upcoming virtual reality platform designed to deliver exciting and innovative gaming experiences to PlayStation.
