Research at the Advanced Light Source promises four-bit magnetic cells instead of the two-bit domains of standard magnetic memories. Four different spin orientations could double the information in today’s computer memories. […]
Berkeley Lab researchers have created the first fully integrated artificial photosynthesis nanosystem. While "artificial leaf" is the popular term for such a system, the key to this success was an "artificial forest." […]
Foam. It's beautiful, yet ephemeral, as the bubbles pop one by one. Now, two Berkeley researchers have described mathematically the successive stages in the complex evolution of foamy bubbles, a feat that could help in modeling industrial processes such as those used to cushion bicycle helmets. […]
Joint BioEnergy Institute researchers have developed an enzyme-free ionic liquid pre-treatment of cellulosic biomass that makes it easier to recover fermentable sugars for biofuels. […]
