   10-12-2006 · EurekAlert!
   From a butterfly's iridescent wing to a gecko's sticky foot, nature derives extraordinary properties from ordinary materials like wax and keratin. Its secret is hierarchical topology -- macroscale structures assembled from microscale components of varying sizes. Borrowing a page from nature's playbook, researchers at NIST have developed a novel platform for the self-assembly of experimental hierarchical surfaces in a fluid. Their work offers diverse industries a new way to generate and measure self-assembly at the nanoscale.

2. 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.

   University of Miami researcher Claire Paris will use a groundbreaking observational tool, the OWNFOR (Orientation With No Frame Of Reference), a kite-like drifting device that allows researchers to detect and quantify the orientation of larval coral reef fish in the pelagic environment. This invention provides a less labor intensive, more precise way of tracking the dispersal of larval and juvenile marine species. The OWNFOR larval monitoring system will be tested through funding from the Australian Museum; Hermon Slade Foundation.
