Hydrogen bonds are caught on camera - physics-math - 20 August 2010 - New Scientist: "By affecting the way molecules bind to each other, hydrogen bonds are responsible for water's high boiling point, ice's propensity to float and DNA's signature double helix."

Can Science Explain the Soul?

Deepak Chopra | Deepak Chopra Official Website: "Redefined by the new field of quantum biology, the soul could be the link that connects individuals to the universe, a dynamic connection that could explain how consciousness came about, and why the cosmos itself seems to mirror our own intelligence and creativity."

Light-amplifying resin boosts invisibility cloaks - tech - 05 August 2010 - New Scientist: "Metamaterials can bend light around objects to render them near-invisible, but they absorb so much light in the process that objects cannot be flawlessly disguised – they are revealed by the dimness of the metamaterial."

Smart glass helps pioneering solar sail to steer - space - 27 July 2010 - New Scientist: "T'S the trailblazer of solar sailing. Japan's IKAROS spacecraft has used 'smart glass' technology to steer using only the pressure of sunlight – a first for solar sails."

Viscosity at the nanoscale: Intriguing 50-year-old puzzle solved

Viscosity at the nanoscale: Intriguing 50-year-old puzzle solved: "ScienceDaily (July 13, 2010) — At a snail's pace -- this is how proteins should move inside living cells where viscosity of environment exceeds the viscosity of water by a million times. However, proteins move not much slower than in water. While looking for a solution to this puzzle, scientists from the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy of Sciences discovered a new principle of physics."

I-Micronews - NANOMATERIALS : Third frontier award will support production of ...: "A $3 million Ohio Third Frontier award to the University of Dayton Research Institute will fund the scale-up and production of a “game-changing” new nanomaterial that will allow composites to multitask – a wind turbine tower that can de-ice its own blades in winter, or store energy to release on a calm day, powering a grid even when its blades are not moving. Or a military vehicle whose armor can serve as a battery – powering some of the vehicle’s electrical components."

Improved carbon sponges to strip carbon dioxide from power plant exhausts

Improved carbon sponges to strip carbon dioxide from power plant exhausts: "A recently discovered class of materials called metal-organic frameworks that boast a record-shattering internal surface area. A sugar cube-sized piece, if unfolded and flattened, would more than blanket a football field. The crystalline material can also be tweaked to absorb specific molecules."
