Strange behavior: New study exposes living cells to synthetic protein Posted: 27 Dec 2012 11:30 AM PST Scientists have fabricated an artificial protein in the laboratory and examined the surprising ways living cells respond to it.

Liquid crystal research may lead to creation of new materials that can be actively controlled Posted: 27 Dec 2012 08:08 AM PST Contributing geometric and topological analyses of micro-materials, mathematicians aided experimental physicists by successfully explaining the observed "beautiful and complex patterns revealed" in three-dimensional liquid crystal experiments. The work is expected to lead to creation of new materials that can be actively controlled.

New method for collagen scaffolds: Slice, stack, roll Posted: 27 Dec 2012 08:07 AM PST Engineers have developed a new technique, called bioskiving. The fabrication process creates collagen structures from thin sheets of decellularized tendon stacked with alternating fiber directions that maintain much of collagen's natural strength.

Measurements hint why the universe is dominated by matter, not anti-matter Posted: 26 Dec 2012 12:30 PM PST Physicists have made a precise measurement of elusive, nearly massless particles, and obtained a crucial hint as to why the universe is dominated by matter, not by its close relative, anti-matter.
