Scientists discover first ever record of insect pollination from 100 million-years ago ESRF
Amber from Cretaceous deposits (110-105 my) in Northern Spain has revealed the first ever record of insect pollination. Scientists have discovered in two pieces of amber several specimens of tiny insects covered with pollen grains, revealing the first record of pollen transport and social behavior in this group of animals.

Using Mutations to Control Protein Domain Swapping
Many biological processes require the formation of protein complexes containing multiple copies of one or more types of polypeptide chain. It is critical that the protein chains involved correctly recognize each other and assemble into the proper sequence. May 9, 2012 - Nanotechnology Now
Infrared LEDs can be made cheaper, compatible with silicon, say researchers
The research group led by Frank Wise, professor of applied and engineering physics, reported online May 6 in the journal Nature Nanotechnology that they have used solution chemistry to make infrared LEDs out of nanocrystals, commonly known as quantum dots, out of lead sulfide. May 9, 2012 - CORDIS
EU-funded researchers get up close to double ionisation
Normally, when an intense laser pulse interacts with an atom it generates agitation on the micro-scale and this interaction produces a single ionisation, where one electron is ejected from the atom. May 9, 2012 - PhysOrg
How to make a splash
A team of physicists has used the high-energy x-rays of the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory to penetrate the everyday mystery of a splash, revealing previously hidden structures and dynamics. The contents of all materials on lightsources.org are the sole responsibility of the authors of the materials and/or the facilities or institutions under whose auspices the materials were produced.
