If MOND exists, it will appear as if there is an anomalous, "phantom" mass in that region, exerting a gravitational force on the bodies in our solar system.

According to Milgrom, this force should cause the orbits of the planets to precess - that is, their elliptical orbits around the sun should slowly change their orientation, over time tracing out a pattern like the petals of a flower.

Scientists have used microfluidic technology to improve the survival rates of frozen cells.
-
Utkan Demirci, at Harvard Medical School, Cambridge, US, and colleagues have increased the chance of cell survival by 25 per cent over standard cryopreservation methods.

As well as helping us to understand the mechanisms underlying the evolution of beauty in nature, Dufresne adds that his research has the 'potential for finding a new class of photonic (light-emitting) materials, based on disordered, instead of periodic structures.'

Guar gum, a polysaccharide, is a cheap and environmentally friendly material produced naturally by a leguminous shrub.

The film has a high tensile strength and Kadokawa says it can conduct electricity as efficiently as semi-conductors. Uniquely, the film hardens upon heating but becomes soft again as it cools. These properties mean that it could be used to produce temperature sensors.

Thin films can buckle round curved substrates to form gears for micromachines
-
Until now, making microgears has required expensive etching and micromachining. Chen's method only requires a change in temperature - no external guidance is required.
-
The team have made gears with diameters of 6 millimetres but they are keen to go smaller and make true microgears that could be used in biomedical engineering or aerospace.

Tiny Laser Could Light the Way to New Microchip Technology -- Cho 2009 (831): 2 -- Scie... - 0 views
-
The nanometer-sized gizmo could provide a key tool for researchers trying to develop a new type of microchip technology called "plasmonics" that mixes electronics and optics.
-
The channel in Zhang's device measures as little as 40 nanometers wide by 5 nanometers high, far smaller than the roughly 250-nanometer diameter of a conventional laser of a similar wavelength.
-
Some physicists and engineers are hoping to build nanocircuits that manipulate plasmonics to marry high-speed electronics and high-speed optics.
