An experiment has realized spin torque switching of a nanomagnet as fast as the fundamental speed limit allows.

The problem with using a shotgun to kill a housefly is that even if you get the pest, you'll likely do a lot of damage to your home in the process. Hence the value of the more surgical flyswatter.

A picture or video is worth a thousand words....and lots more in lost dollars should the truth be told

Milliseconds can mean the difference between triumph and defeat in the world of Olympic sports, leading more trainers and athletes to look toward technology as a tool to get an edge on the competition.

Thought experiment: a carbon dioxide molecule—think of a cheerleader’s baton—comes slanting in at high speed over a dense liquid, strikes the surface and ricochets. How does it tumble?

In applying for a patent for a highly-efficient chromatographic separation principle, Vogelbusch GmbH has confirmed its role as a leading force in the development of biotech process technologies. The process adapts the separation process known as "simulated moving bed" to the specific needs of pharmaceutical companies. A prototype was presented to an audience of experts for the first time at the PREP 2008 conference in San Jose, California, where it attracted a great deal of interest.

Ultra-miniature bialy-shaped particles — called nanobialys because they resemble tiny versions of the flat, onion-topped rolls popular in New York City — could soon be carrying medicinal compounds through patients' bloodstreams to tumors or atherosclerotic plaques.

Most of us would agree that 32 degrees Fahrenheit (F), the temperature at which water freezes, is a pretty cold day, but what about minus 320 degrees F, the boiling point of nitrogen ... or minus 452 degrees F, the boiling point of helium?

Scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory are dealing with an entirely new type of frustration, but it's not stressing them out.
