Researchers engineer plant cell walls to boost sugar yields for biofuels Posted: 29 Mar 2013 01:12 PM PDT Using the tools of synthetic biology, researchers are engineering healthy plants whose lignocellulosic biomass can more easily be broken down into simple sugars for the production of clean, green and renewable advanced biofuels.

Mathematician publishes 2013 Major League Baseball projections Posted: 29 Mar 2013 09:52 AM PDT It looks like 2013 will be a thrilling season for baseball fans as four of the six divisions can be expected to deliver tight races, says a baseball guru and mathematician.

Acoustic time delay could improve phased array systems Posted: 29 Mar 2013 09:43 AM PDT Researchers have developed an ultra-compact passive true time delay device that could help reduce the size, complexity, power requirements and cost of phased array designs. The device uses the difference in speed between light and sound to create nanosecond signal delays.

'Waste heat' may economize CO2 capture Posted: 29 Mar 2013 06:06 AM PDT Scientists have found it may be possible to use "waste" heat to remove CO2 instead of the higher pressure steam needed to make electricity.

New technologies combat invasive species Posted: 29 Mar 2013 06:06 AM PDT A new research paper by a team of researchers from the University of Notre Dame's Environmental Change Initiative demonstrates how two cutting-edge technologies can provide a sensitive and real-time solution to screening real-world water samples for invasive species before they get into our country or before they cause significant damage.

Robotic ants successfully mimic real colony behavior Posted: 29 Mar 2013 06:06 AM PDT Scientists have successfully replicated the behavior of a colony of ants on the move with the use of miniature robots.
