Science has done it again, and it’s blowing my mind. These days we’ve all pretty much accepted modern medicine’s ability to do some amazing things. Heart transplants – which likely would have struck, say, the Aztecs as a divine miracle – are fairly commonplace. And a complete blood transfusion is now not much more complicated [...]‘Training’ a memristive network
Updated: 2012-09-24 11:23:24
Researchers in Italy and Germany have developed an organic memristive device that mimics the adaptive processes occurring in nervous systems such as the human brain. The work is one of the main findings of the European Commission’s Seventh Framework Programme Future and Emerging Technologies-Open project which has brought together physicists, chemists, neuroscientists and mathematicians to [...]This week’s hot paper – Read for free until 26th October

Hydrophobic cellulose nanocrystals modified with quaternary ammonium salts
Cellulose nanocrystals or CNCs are environmentally friendly biomaterials whose surface functionality can be tailored in order to improve their performance. In this hot paper, Zhou and co-workers describe a simple and flexible route to produce CNCs bearing high carboxylate content. A new environmentally friendly method for the surface [...]Another hot paper!

High throughput theory and simulation of nanomaterials: exploring the stability and electronic properties of nanographene
Computational modelling of structure-activity relationships in nanomaterials can be challenging. Snook and co-workers have developed a high throughput method by using a combinational approach with electronic structure simulations to give a general method for predicating and understanding the properties of [...]UCL Discovery celebrates 2 million downloads

Updated: 2012-09-09 10:12:44Home Introduction Researchers managed to generate and transfer spin currents in less than a picosecond Tweet Technical Researchers from Uppsala University , Germany and the US have demonstrated that spin currents can be generated and transferred from one nano-scale metal layer to another in less than a picosecond . The researchers are using very short femtosecond scale light pulses which create spin currents that move super-fast through the nanostructured layers and transfer the . spin Detecting the spin in such a short time is not easy , and they had to develop new technology to do so . They ended up using ultra-short x-ray flashes with a pulse length of just a few femtoseconds . The spin magnetic moment were measured using magnetic x-ray . spectroscopy source : Phys.Org Sep 09, 2012Fruit juice infused chocolate to reduce fat consumption

Fruit juice has been used by scientists in the UK to replace up to half of the fat content from cocoa butter and milk fats in milk and white chocolate.
Stefan Bon and his colleagues at the University of Warwick made a water-in-oil emulsion to replace the fat by adding fruit juices, water with added vitamin [...]Journal of Materials Chemistry becomes three news
