Developments in snapshot imaging and computational processing improve resolution at unprecedented frame rates. Read more at Physics Today…
New regulations on unique device identifiers for medical equipment and implants are being phased in by the US Food and Drug Administration, including codes best marked with a laser. 
Mixed metal oxide alloys play an important role as substrates and catalysts for many energy conversion and storage applications. Until now, making multi-element solid solutions with precise compositions has eluded current synthesis techniques. 
The first detection of a gravitational wave depended on large surfaces with excellent flatness, combined with low microroughness and the ability to mitigate environmental noise. 
The key to producing an anisotropic tungsten metal foam is starting with a non-metallic oxide powder, and reducing it to metal before densifying the final structure. 
New solar harnessing materials along with novel production techniques are improving the efficiency of solar power. 
Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology have used a lotus leaf as a template to fabricate a material that can absorb virtually the entire spectrum of visible light. 
NREL has developed a new technology for smart windows, which entrepreneur Loren Burnett is commercialising through his company e-Chromic Technologies, Inc. 
Scientists at Indiana University (IU), Bloomington, have created a highly efficient biomaterial that catalyses hydrogen formation, by encapsulating bacterial genes within a self-assembled protective viral shell. Outlets
