New Way to Separate and Purify Molecules Devised Experts from the University of Minnesota (UM) announce in the July 31st issue of the respected journal Science that they managed to develop a new method to create high-performance membranes out of crystal sieves called zeolites. They argue that the innovation could lead to significant advancements in the understandin... 31 July 2009 18:01 GMT Experts Create Superconducting Germanium Most chemical elements have the ability to become superconductors under given circumstances, when they are subjected to very low temperatures and high pressures, depending on the material. However, until now, researchers failed to endow copper, silver, gold, and germanium with this ability, mostly because of the part... 30 May 2009 03:20 GMT Nanorods Facilitate the Construction of 3D Chips According to scientists in the field, one of the basic requirements for advancing the 3D-chip technology is growing appropriate nanorods, which are the basic components of these types of circuits. These products have to be as “sticky” and slim as possible, so as to fit more of them in a tight place, witho... 18 March 2009 07:38 GMT
