Researchers reconstruct nanoscale virus features from correlations of scattered x-rays

Researchers achieved a goal first proposed more than 40 years ago - using angular correlations of X-ray snapshots from non-crystalline molecules to determine the 3D structure of important biological objects.

'Liquid armor' toughens spacesuits

Addition of nanocomposite liquid that makes spacesuits highly puncture-resistant will soon be tested in space.

Study shows how rough microparticles can cause big problems

New research finds that the surface texture of microparticles in a liquid suspension can cause internal friction that significantly alters the suspension's viscosity - effectively making the liquid thicker or thinner.
