New neutron studies support magnetism's role in superconductors Neutron scattering experiments performed at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory give strong evidence that, if superconductivity is related to a material's magnetic properties, the same mechanisms are behind both copper-based high-temperature superconductors and the newly discovered iron-based superconductors.

Grid computing for the masses Researchers has developed middleware designed to allow any computer running any operating system to simply, efficiently and cost-effectively access the distributed computers that make up the grid.

New system provides hybrid electric autos with power to spare An advancement in hybrid electric vehicle technology is providing powerful benefits beyond transportation.

Lightning-fast search on mobile devices As you wait at the traffic lights, you select your favourite song on the MP3 player, while the passenger next to you sifts through her digital travel guide looking for the main tourist sights.

Breakthrough for Hybrid Solar Cells Scientists have succeeded in developing a method for treating the surface of nanoparticles which greatly improves the efficiency of organic solar cells.

Researchers show applied electric field can significantly improve hydrogen storage properties An international team of researchers has identified a new theoretical approach that may one day make the synthesis of hydrogen fuel storage materials less complicated and improve the thermodynamics and reversibility of the system.

Mass. Eye and Ear Infirmary Cataract Surgery Trainer teaches residents cataract surgery The Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary Cataract Surgery Trainer, a virtual training tool which helps to train physicians to perform cataract surgery, has been shown to enhance teaching in cataract surgery when compared to traditional teaching methods.

Learning from the brain: Computer scientists develop new generation of neuro-computer Intelligent machines that not only think for themselves but also actively learn are the vision of researchers

Perfectly shaped solid components When metals are shaped, the materials they are made of are often damaged in the process. One cause of this is excessive press force, which cracks and perforates the material. By running simulations on a PC, research scientists can now calculate how to avoid component defects.

Electric cars are going places in the Harz region Electric cars have many merits: They are quieter and require less maintenance than cars with internal combustion engines. A network of smartly located charging stations covering the entire Harz region is bound to make electric cars a regional feature.
