New method to identify nanoparticles in tissue may shed light on their health impact

Posted: 26 Mar 2016 08:08 AM PDT

A team of researchers has demonstrated a pioneering method for the rapid visualization and identification of engineered nanoparticles in tissue.

Computer simulation discloses new effect of cavitation

Posted: 26 Mar 2016 07:57 AM PDT

Researchers have discovered a so far unknown formation mechanism of cavitation bubbles by means of a model calculation. In a new article, they describe how oil-repellent and oil-attracting surfaces influence a passing oil flow. Depending on the viscosity of the oil, a steam bubble forms in the transition area. However, it may also have a positive effect, as it may keep components at a certain distance and, thus, prevent damage.

Brain induces preference for caloric food for energy storage

Given the choice between eating something caloric with an unpleasant taste and more palatable food with no calories, some vertebrates may choose the former, prioritizing energy to assure their survival.

Online international collaboration demonstrates reliability of quantum simulations for materials design

Posted: 24 Mar 2016 12:39 PM PDT

Researchers are investigating to what extent quantum simulations of material properties agree when they are performed by different researchers and with different software. Thanks to an online collaboration, they successfully demonstrated that the most recent generations of codes agree well, in contrast to earlier generations.
