NASA’s
next flagship mission, the James Webb Space Telescope, will carry the
largest primary mirror ever deployed in space. Researchers has borrowed a
page from its segmented mirror design to create a similar example just a
half-inch in diameter. Strangely, the tiny mirror may one day become
the standard for future space telescopes.

Researchers
at the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory have invented a simple,
inexpensive dip-and-dry treatment can convert ordinary silk into a
fabric that kills disease-causing bacteria—even the armor-coated spores
of microbes like anthrax—in minutes.

New research from North
Carolina State University shows that a wind-driven "tumbleweed" Mars
rover would be capable of moving across rocky Martian terrain—findings
that could also help the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA)
design the best possible vehicle.

Plans
to create the world's first carbon-neutral higher-speed locomotive were
unveiled this week by the Coalition for Sustainable Rail, which has the goal
of proving the viability of solid biofuel—torrefied biomass—and modern
steam locomotive technology. The first step in those plans is to break
the world speed record for steam trains.

A
team of engineers at the University of California, Berkeley have
developed a way to keep tabs on pipeline health by using a magnetic
resonance imaging machine similar to the ones used in hospitals. Their
technology is called the Magnetic Response Imaging System (MRIS), and it
will be able to look at the state of underground pipelines.

The
first purely silicon oxide-based “resistive RAM” memory chip that can
operate in ambient conditions has been developed by researchers in the
U.K., and it needs just a thousandth of the energy of Flash-based chips.
Unlike other attempts to develop similar silicon-oxide chips, this
invention does not require a vacuum to operate.

University
at Buffalo researchers are making significant progress on rust-proofing
steel using a graphene-based composite that could serve as a nontoxic
alternative to coatings that contain hexavalent chromium, a probable
carcinogen.

Joshua
Zide has spent nearly a decade engineering nanomaterials using
molecular beam epitaxy. His particular area of expertise are
metalllic-semiconductor nanocomposite for use in electronics, and he is
now working on a variation of epitaxy that he hopes will bring the
materials deposition technique to the production line for the first
time.
