An international
consortium of researchers has completed the majority of the genome
sequence of
the domesticated turkey, thanks in part to the efforts of Virginia Tech
faculty
members.

Now that astronomers are finding rocky worlds orbiting distant stars, they're asking the logical questions: Do any of those worlds have volcanoes? And if so, could we detect them? Work by theorists at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics suggests that the answer to the latter is a qualified "Yes."

More hurricanes may form in greener
waters, where sunlight tends to be absorbed at shallower depths, than in
clear
seas, according to new research that draws a link between ocean color
and the
formation and movement of tropical cyclones.

Researchers at Caltech have engineered a fundamentally new approach to killing cancer cells. The process developed uses small RNA molecules that can be programmed to attack only specific cancer cells; then, by changing shape, those molecules cause the cancer cells to self-destruct.

Seven years ago Northwestern University physicist Adilson E. Motter
conjectured that the expansion of the universe at the time of the big
bang was
highly chaotic. Now he and a colleague have proven it using rigorous
mathematical arguments.

With major funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act,
Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory has built new lab space for battery
researchers
and scientists who investigate “metamaterials,” upgraded an aging
transformer
bank that supplied electricity to the entire site, and constructed a
modern
facility to support thousands of scientists who visit the laboratory
each year
to conduct cutting-edge experiments on all manner of matter.

Galileo Galilei’s experiments on the
motions of falling and rolling objects, described in his 1638 book, Two
New Sciences, are considered by many
to be the beginning of modern science. Now researchers at MIT have
conducted a
variation on his experiments that has produced unexpected results.

Researchers
at the University of California, San
Diego have revealed new details about how
cannibalistic bacteria identify peers suitable for consumption. The
work, which
employed imaging mass spectrometry, is a first step toward a broader
effort to
map all signaling molecules between organisms.

Engineers at Harvard University have
created a millionth-scale automobile differential to govern the flight
of
minuscule aerial robots that could someday be used to probe
environmental
hazards, forest fires, and other places too perilous for people.

Researchers at the California Institute of Technology
(Caltech) have devised a new technique—using a sheet of carbon just one
atom
thick—to visualize the structure of molecules. The technique, which was
used to
obtain the first direct images of how water coats surfaces at room
temperature,
can also be used to image a potentially unlimited number of other
molecules,
including antibodies and other biomolecules.

The world of R&D is full of collaboration. R&D Magazine has seen this directly through some of the winners of the R&D 100 awards in the past. However, not only is collaboration important to the world of R&D, but it is essentially important to all aspects of life. For the Army, it is not different.

I’ve always liked looking at the images in National Geographic. They are always so beautiful or so gut wrenching that I fell in love with the magazine during my college years. I also couldn’t live without going to Borders every Sunday and picking up the New York Times and Time to read as well. I was extremely happy when I found out that my family had subscribed to National Geographic recently, and had seen that our first issue arrived yesterday. In the issue there was an interesting article about bionics—something that I never really thought about until last year.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. announced the availability of a new Thermo
Scientific Atlas Chromatography Data System (CDS) integration solution for Symyx
Technologies’ electronic laboratory notebook (ELN).

Design engineers in the electronics industry who are seeking ways to improve
power integrity and reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) while meeting
halogen-free requirements now have a new solution to meet their needs. The 3M
Electronic Solutions Division now offers halogen-free versions of its Embedded
Capacitance Material (ECM).
