An easier way to remove gallstones
For more than 100 years, the traditional treatment for the painful growths called gallstones has been removal of the gallbladder, or cholecystectomy. But a new device, patented in China, promises to make removing the entire organ unnecessary.

Sneaking up on the glassy transition of water
Researchers claim to have settled a long-standing debate over the exact temperature at which water transforms into an exotic glass-like substance believed to be present in comets and other icy objects in the outer solar system, as well as in the coldest regions of the Earth’s atmosphere.

'Oscar Madison' approach to solar cells may outshine 'Felix Unger’ design
Sometimes neatness may not be necessary. Researchers have demonstrated that a tangled coating of randomly positioned nanowires can increase solar cell efficiency by absorbing more light.

Magnetic memories manipulated by voltage, not heat
Using voltage to encode magnetic data could lead to smaller, faster memory devices -- but not if heat is doing all the work. Fortunately, it is the voltage itself, and not the side effect of heating, that modifies the magnets’ properties.
