Physicists create five-lane superhighway for electrons

Posted by in categories: materials, physics

MIT physicists and colleagues have created a five-lane superhighway for electrons that could allow ultra-efficient electronics and more. The work, reported in the May 9 issue of Science, is one of several important discoveries by the same team over the last year involving a material that is essentially a unique form of pencil lead.

Eyes of tomorrow: Smart contact lenses lead the way for human-machine interaction

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

A portable sweeping frequency reader was kept nearby to record and analyze the signals from the RF tags (it serves as the machine part of HMI).

The researchers demonstrated that their smart contact lenses can detect gazing directions and real-time gazing points, which could be used for robot control and software interaction.

Anticipating future discoveries: Scientists explore nontrivial cosmic topology

Posted by in category: space travel

We generally assume that when humans are walking or otherwise moving in space, their head faces towards the direction they are traveling in. Nonetheless, travel direction and head direction are distinct factors associated with the processing of different types of spatial information.

Bionanomachine Breakthrough: A Master Key for Sustainable Chemistry

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, nanotechnology

Scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) have for the first time precisely characterized the enzyme styrene oxide isomerase, which can be used to produce valuable chemicals and drug precursors in an environmentally friendly manner. The study appears today in the journal Nature Chemistry.

Enzymes are powerful biomolecules that can be used to produce many substances at ambient conditions. They enable “green” chemistry, which reduces environmental pollution resulting from processes used in synthetic chemistry. One such tool from nature has now been characterized in detail by PSI researchers: the enzyme styrene oxide isomerase. It is the biological version of the Meinwald reaction, an important chemical reaction in organic chemistry.

“The enzyme, discovered decades ago, is made by bacteria,” says Richard Kammerer of PSI’s Biomolecular Research Laboratory. His colleague Xiaodan Li adds: “But because the way it functions was not known, its practical application has been limited up to now.” The two researchers and their team have elucidated the structure of the enzyme as well as the way it works.
