Microscopic versions of silkworm cocoons that could be used to protect sensitive molecular materials.
Genetic Variation Identifies High-Risk Flu Patients
Researchers have identified an inherited genetic variation that they believe helps identify those at the highest risk for potentially fatal influenza infections.
Should Solar Energy Join the "Sharing Economy"?
Is selling excess electricity back to the grid a backwards solution when sharing energy with neighbors is a possibility?
New Solar Cell Harnesses Nearly Entire Solar Spectrum
A newly developed solar cell prototype is capable of capturing nearly all energy from the solar spectrum and could potentially be the world’s most solar cell, operating at 44.5% efficiency.
Oil-absorbing Cellulose Developed for Oil-spill Cleanup
A new technology collects the oil in a cellulose matrix and then turns the oil into a rigid gel that can easily be removed from water.
Technique Identifies Influenza Mutations' Pandemic Potential
A new technique labels gene segments to help understand how the virus enters a cell and establishes co-infections.

New lab-on-a-chip technology looks at immune response for early sepsis detection.
Giant Molecular Cages Maximize Efficiency of Converting Molecules in Chemical Reactions
The molecular cages show potential for use in energy conversion, drug delivery, and as sensors.
Enzyme Destroys Biofilm of Multiple Organisms
Instead of targeting individual microbes, researchers went after the biofilm that protects them and found great success.
New Biodiesel Fully Compatible with Conventional Engines
Until now, biodiesel could not be used undiluted in a conventional diesel engine since its boiling point is higher than that of petroleum diesel.
A Look Back: Engineers Helped Rebuild after 1st World War
