 Angewandte ChemieDrawing a line, with carbon nanotubes MIT researchers have designed a new type of pencil lead in which graphite is replaced with a compressed powder of carbon nanotubes. The lead, which can be used with a regular mechanical pencil, can inscribe sensors on any paper surface.

ACS NanoGlowing DNA invention points towards high speed disease detection Many diseases, including cancers, leave genetic clues in the body just as criminals leave DNA at a crime scene. But tools to detect the DNA-like sickness clues known as miRNAs, tend to be slow and expensive. Now Chemistry researcher Tom Vosch and plant molecular biologist Seong Wook Yang, University of Copenhagen, have invented a DNA sensor, coupling genetic material to a luminous molecule which goes dark only in the presence of a specific target.

Angewandte ChemieCatalytic converters like it hot Catalytic converters work poorly if they have not yet warmed up. Tiny metal particles in a catalytic converter require a minimum temperature to function efficiently. At the Vienna University of Technology, thanks to a new measuring method, it has now become possible to examine many different types of these particles at the same time. Reliable information regarding what it is exactly that the efficiency of catalytic converters depends on has thus been obtained for the first time. Contact: Florian Aigner

Nature CommunicationsOrigin of ultra-fast manipulation of domain walls discovered An international team of researchers has found at the free electron laser FLASH a surprising effect that leads in ferromagnetic materials to a spatially varying magnetization manipulation on an ultrafast timescale. This effect could be the key to further miniaturization and performance increase of magnetic data storage devices. Contact: Professor Dr. Mathias Kläui

Advanced Functional MaterialsBuilding 3-D structures from a 2-D template In modern telecommunications, light carries digital information over kilometers within seconds. Adapted optical materials con-trol the light signals. In the AFM journal, researchers from Ber-lin, Louvain, and from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology present a method to produce photonic crystals. Their optical properties are adjusted by structures of micrometer size. The method is rapid, cheap, and simple and partly uses the self-organization principle (DOI: 10.1002/adfm.201201138).

CarbonUT Dallas research shows graphene nanopores can be controlled Engineers at the University of Texas at Dallas have used advanced techniques to make the material graphene small enough to read DNA. Shrinking the size of a graphene pore to less than one nanometer opens the possibility of graphene as a low-cost tool to sequence DNA.

Nature Communications1 glue, 2 functions University of Akron polymer scientists and biologists have discovered that this house spider -- in order to more efficiently capture different types of prey -- performs an uncommon feat. It tailors one glue to demonstrate two adhesive strengths: firm and weak.

Nature CommunicationsUniversity of Minnesota engineers invent new device that could increase Internet download speeds A team of scientists and engineers at the University of Minnesota has invented a unique microscale optical device that could greatly increase the speed of downloading information online and reduce the cost of Internet transmission. The device uses the force generated by light to flop a mechanical switch of light on and off at a very high speed. This development could lead to advances in computation and signal processing using light instead of electrical current.

Nature NanotechnologySolar cell consisting of a single molecule Photosynthesis allows plants to convert light into chemical energy. Utilizing this process to produce electrical energy is a research goal worldwide. Now a team of scientists at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen and the Tel Aviv University has succeeded to directly derive and measure the photoelectric current generated by single molecules of the photosystem I.

Nano LettersNickelblock: An element's love-hate relationship with battery electrodes Battery materials on the nano-scale reveal how nickel forms a physical barrier that impedes the shuttling of lithium ions in the electrode, reducing how fast the materials charge and discharge. Published last week in Nano Letters, the research also suggests a way to improve the materials.

ScienceSmooth as silk 'transient electronics' dissolve in body or environment Tiny, biocompatible electronic devices, encapsulated in silk, dissolve harmlessly into their surroundings after a precise amount of time. These new "transient electronics" promise medical implants that never need surgical removal, as well as environmental monitors and consumer electronics that can become compost rather than trash. The researchers successfully tested a thermal device designed to monitor and prevent post-surgical infection and also created a 64 pixel digital camera.

ACS NanoExposing cancer's lethal couriers New nanotechnology developed at Case Western Reserve University detects metastases in mouse models of breast cancer before they've grown into new tissues. Images of the precise location and extent of metastases could be used to guide surgery or ablation, or the same technology used to find the cancer could be used to deliver cancer-killing drugs.
