$10 Million gift establishes pioneering Nano Oncology Center
A new $10 million gift from Ronald and JoAnne Willens to Northwestern University's International Institute for Nanotechnology (IIN) will establish an interdisciplinary research center that will use advances in nanotechnology to develop new cancer treatments. It will be one of the first centers of its kind in the country.
Artificial methane hydrates open an innovative pathway for the use of new fuels
Researchers have shown that it is possible to prepare methane hydrates in a laboratory by imitating, and even enhancing, natural processes through the use of activated carbon materials as nano-reactors.
Quantum sensor's advantages survive entanglement breakdown
Preserving the fragile quantum property known as entanglement isn't necessary to reap benefits.
3-year US-Ireland research initiative to develop ultra-efficient electronic materials
A three-year US-Ireland collaborative scientific project aims to reduce power consumption and increase battery life in mobile devices. Researchers will explore new semiconducting materials in the miniaturisation of transistors which are essential to all portable devices.

Freeze! Watching alloys change from liquid to solid could lead to better metals
If you put a camera in the ice machine and watched water turn into ice, the process would look simple. But the mechanism behind liquids turning to solids is actually quite complex, and understanding it better could improve design and production of metals.
