| FEATURED STORY | | | For the first time, scientists led by John V. Badding, a professor of chemistry at Penn State Univ., have discovered how to produce ultra-thin "diamond nanothreads" that promise extraordinary properties, including strength and stiffness greater than that of today's strongest nanotubes and polymers. The core of the nanothreads is a long, thin strand of carbon atoms arranged just like the fundamental unit of a diamond's structure.

| | | NEWS | | | Shellfish such as mussels and barnacles secrete very sticky proteins that help them cling to rocks or ship hulls, even underwater. Inspired by these natural adhesives, a team of Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineers has designed new materials that could be used to repair ships or help heal wounds and surgical incisions.

| | | NEWS | | | Researchers in Switzerland have succeeded in observing the "forbidden" infrared spectrum of a charged molecule for the first time. These extremely weak spectra offer perspectives for extremely precise measurements of molecular properties and may also contribute to the development of molecular clocks and quantum technology.

| | | | | | | This free webinar will:
• discuss the theory underlying the Molecular Flow interface in COMSOL
• show models of various vacuum flow processes
• also discuss approaches to modeling other types of rarefied gas flows.

| | | NEWS | | | Researchers at the Salk Institute have discovered an on-and-off "switch" in cells that may hold the key to healthy aging. This switch, which involves the enzyme telomerase, points to a way to encourage healthy cells to keep dividing and generating, for example, new lung or liver tissue, even in old age.

| | | NEWS | | | The robotic explorer Maven successfully slipped into orbit around Mars late Sunday night. Now the real work begins for the $671 million mission, the first dedicated to studying the Martian upper atmosphere and the latest step in NASA's bid to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s. Researchers hope to learn where all the red planet's water went, along with the carbon dioxide that once comprised an atmosphere thick enough to hold moist clouds.

| | | NEWS | | | Spurred chiefly by China, the United States and India, the world spewed far more carbon pollution into the air last year than ever before. The world pumped an estimated 39.8 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air last year by burning coal, oil and gas. That is 778 million tons or 2.3% more than the previous year. World leaders gather this week to discuss how to reduce heat-trapping gases.

| | | ARTICLE | | Traditional lithography is based on a simple principle: Oil and water don't mix. The method, first developed by an actor in Bavaria in 1796, used a smooth piece of limestone on which an oil-based image was drawn and overlayed with gum arabic in water. During printing, the ink was attracted to the oil, and was repelled by the gum.

| | | ARTICLE | | Imagine your religious beliefs lied between you and your life. This is what happened in mid-April to Julie Penoyer, a 50-year-old U.K. heart patient and Jahovah's Witness. Following her religious beliefs, her request when undergoing open-heart surgery was to not receive donated blood products.

| | | PRODUCT | | | Designed with low cost in mind, Linx Technologies has released the new HumDT Series Transceiver. At 11.5 mm by 14.0 mm, the HumDT uses advanced system on chip technology to minimize the footprint and the number of components. The transceiver has built-in networking with encryption and each module can act as one of three components in the wireless network.
