- Smithsonian researcher probes Hope Diamond's fiery red glow
01-08-2008 · EurekAlert!
A study released in the January 2008 edition of the journal Geology proves that a blue diamond's rare appeal goes far beyond its beauty. The study was conducted by Jeffrey Post, curator of the National Gem Collection and mineralogist, at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. Post and six other researchers probed the mysterious phosphorescence of the Hope Diamond and other natural blue diamonds and discovered a way to "fingerprint" individual blue diamonds.

- Tiny device enables wide range of study at liquid-liquid interface
12-18-2006 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are putting a different kind of "foursome" together in hopes of someday developing smart materials called biomimetics that mimic nature. Amy Shen, Ph.D., assistant professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and her Washington University colleague William F. Pickard, Ph.D., senior professor of Electrical and Systems Engineering, are collaborating with a researcher at Washington State University, and one at Indiana University/Purdue University on understanding a plant protein called forisome.

- Another step toward a liquid telescope on the moon
06-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
An international team including researcher Ermanno Borra, from Universitй Laval's Center for Optics, Photonics, and Laser, has taken another step toward building a liquid telescope on the moon. The researchers have found a combination of materials that allows the creation of a highly reflective liquid mirror capable of functioning even under harsh lunar conditions. The details of the discovery made by Borra and his colleagues will be published in the June 21 edition of Nature.
