NASA repurposes passive thermal-control technology for CubeSats
An older technology once de rigueur for preventing spacecraft gadgetry from getting too hot or too cold has been resurrected and repurposed for an emerging class of small satellites now playing an increasingly larger role in space exploration, technology demonstration, and scientific research.
Introducing the disposable laser
Researchers make ultra-low-cost, easy to fabricate 'lasing capsules' with an inkjet printer.
New tool allows scientists to visualize nanoscale processes in liquids
Chemists have developed a new tool that allows scientists for the first time to see nanoscale mixing processes occurring in liquids.
An experiment seeks to make quantum physics visible to the naked eye
No one has yet detected the quantum physical effect of entanglement directly with the naked eye. This should now be possible thanks to an experiment proposed by a team of physicists.
Mimicking the ingenuity of nature
A clean, climate-friendly energy source that is virtually inexhaustible: This is the promise artificial photosynthesis holds. Chemists have now got one step closer to reaching this goal.

Researchers have created a new sensor technology that captures nanoscale images with high spatial resolution and sensitivity.
Method stabilizes, enhances phosphorene
Covalently bonded, single-molecule-thick layer prevents phosphorene from degrading in open air.
Nuclear pores captured on film
Using an ultra fast-scanning atomic force microscope, researchers have filmed 'living' nuclear pore complexes at work for the first time.
Little ANTs: Researchers build the world's tiniest engine
The prototype device is made of tiny charged particles of gold, bound together with temperature-responsive polymers in the form of a gel.
Quantum sensors for high-precision magnetometry of superconductors
Scientists have developed a new method that has enabled them to image magnetic fields on the nanometer scale at temperatures close to absolute zero for the first time. They used spins in special diamonds as quantum sensors in a new kind of microscope to generate images of magnetic fields in superconductors with unrivalled precision.
