Edible Antifreeze Saves Ice Cream
Chemists adding a tasteless
edible protein called
gelatin hydrolysate to ice
cream find that it keeps ice
crystals small, resulting in
a smoother, more pleasing
product. The protein

Robot Walks on Water
A new robot made of
ultralight carbon-fiber can
stand or slowly walk on
water. The principle it uses
is borrowed from insects --
surface tension tends to
prevent the water's surface
from breaking, and the

Breakthrough for Breathing
Doctors can now keep
patients who are in
respiratory care safer with
a new kind of ventilator.
Ventilator oxygen is
completely dry and needs to
be humidified for the

Liquid Body Armor
Rheologists have created a
new way of bullet-proofing
clothes using
shear-thickening fluids.
Fabric treated with
shear-thickening granular
suspensions can turn soft
material into solid

Physical Chemists Devise Quick Spectrometry-Based Mercury Test
Physical chemists have created a new, cheap test to detect mercury, an element known to harm the brain, kidneys, heart, lungs and immune system. A gold nanorod absorbs mercury from a sample and, then ... > more -
Environmental Engineers, Water Scientists Develop Children's Kit for Monitoring Water Health
Playing a role once reserved for environmental engineers, children are now helping to test the health of water in their local communities. A new kit comes equipped with everything needed to test the ... > more -
Industrial Toxicologists Develop Cost-Effective, Life-Saving Disinfection
Industrial toxicologists at a non-profit venture founded by Procter & Gamble developed PUR, a water purifier that combines a flocculant -- which separates particles and organisms from water -- ... > more -
Roboticists Create Rover To Move And Drill On The Moon
Engineers and robiticists created a robot to explore the moon. Running on the same amount of power as a 100-watt light bulb the rover uses heat from radiation to support its sensors, movement, and ... > more -
New Software Helps Track the Path of Toxic Spills
Ecological engineers have developed software that can model the path of a toxic spill in waterways anywhere in the United States. The system can predict if and when a contaminant will reach a ... > more -
The Science Behind Wave Pools
Scientists gives us a sneak peek into the world of wave pools, and explain how these huge pools make constant waves. Waves are made by a huge compressor that feeds four gigantic air blowers. Then a ... > more -
Acoustic Waves Could Help Put Out Flames in Zero-Gravity Environments
Aboard NASA's "Weightless Wonder" airplane, physicists are experimenting with combustion and fluid flows in zero-g and developing a fire extinguishing system based on sound waves. The technique could ... > more -
Materials Scientists Copy Beetle Anatomy To Develop New Coatings
Scientists at M.I.T. looking to add new chemical functionalities to spray coatings have turned to the beetle for inspiration. Some beetles that live in very arid climates get their drinking water by ... > more -
Atmospheric Scientists Develop Experimental Ice Forecasting Tool
Atmospheric Scientists recently improved the ability to forecast icy conditions at altitudes used by regional airliners. Using graphical displays and advanced weather prediction models, they can now ... > more -
Fluid Dynamics Class Inspires College Student To Develop 'Plasma Paddles'
As a kid, Stephen Taylor didn't just want to play video games ... he wanted to invent them too. Now, his dream is reality. Bored during a college break, he developed a video game called Plasma ... > more
