New diamond nanothreads could be the key material for building a space elevator
2014-09-23 14:12:49| Extremetech
Researchers have created the first diamond nanothreads -- which are basically like carbon nanotubes, but stronger and stiffer. Mathematically, these diamond nanothreads are possibly the strongest and stiffest material that can be constructed in the known universe. As interest in space elevators and other international megaprojects swell, these diamond nanothreads might be exactly what we need to get crazy seemingly impossible constructions off the whiteboard and into reality.

Lego-like modular components make building 3-D 'labs-on-a-chip' a snap
2014-09-23 03:52:08| Electronics - Topix.net
Thanks to new Lego-like components, it is now possible to build a 3-D microfluidic system quickly and cheaply by simply snapping together small modules by hand. This image shows modular fluidic and instrumentation components developed by researchers at the University of Southern California Viterbi School of Engineering.

New York Times: Every year, Americans dispose of about 1,000 pounds of garbage apiece the coffee grounds, takeout containers, candy wrappers, used Huggies, empty syringes and old sock monkey puppets we entrust to our local sanitation workers and never think about again. Yet those annual landfill contributions, according to Richard Alley, a professor at the Earth and Environmental Systems Institute at Penn State, are so much pocket lint compared with another sort of waste we produce: the nearly 40,000 pounds a...
