Ubiquitin mystery chains
Researchers have been able to view in detail, and for the first time, the previously unexplained process by which long chains of a protein called ubiquitin are added to proteins that control the cell cycle.
Sensors appreciate fine works of art
Valuable paintings travel long distances when they are shipped from one place to another. To minimize damage, they are packed in special picture cases.
Waste for life
Student learning through international development projects. Who pays and who benefits?
Super sponge
Wheat is capable of producing a dough with very special structural properties. How does a such a sticky mass become a tasty loaf?
Neutrons confirm Newton's predictions
An optical effect first predicted by Isaac Newton has been shown to occur when neutrons interact with matter.

To tweet or not to tweet
Posted by Jonathan Agbenyega • 04 February 2010
I spotted this tweet recently, and it got me thinking... Which is a better barometer of opinion: Tweet or Taxi driver? Are we placing too much emphasis on networking via the internet when a simple f...

Resonance properties of metallic ring systems
We review our recent efforts in understanding the resonance properties of metallic ring systems using a rigorous mode-expansion theory. In the quasi-static limit, we established a matrix-form circuit equation to calculate the frequencies and current distributions for all resonance modes in a ring system. We then applied the theory to study different split ring resonators (SRR).

Electromagnetic wave in 2D photonic crystals
In this article, we have reviewed recent progresses on the negative refraction and the abnormal transmission of electromagnetic wave in two-dimensional photonic crystals. The physical mechanisms related to these phenomena have been analyzed, and the focusing properties of the point source through the photonic-crystal-based flat lens have been discussed.

Up close and personal with atoms and molecules
Nature is the best example of a system functioning on the nanometer scale, where the involved materials, energy consumption and data handling are optimized. Opening the doors to the nanoworld the emergence of the scanning tunneling microscope in 1982 and the atomic force microscope in 1986 led to a shift of paradigm in the understanding and perception of matter at its most fundamental level.
