#Tractor beam lifts and moves small objects Researchers have built a working tractor beam that uses high-amplitude sound waves to generate an acoustic hologram that can pick up
The tractor beam is said to work by surrounding the object with high-intensity sound and this creates a force field that keeps the objects in place.
The team has shown that three different shapes of acoustic force fields work as tractor beams. The first is an acoustic force field that resembles a pair or tweezers.

#Discarded cigarette ashes could go to good use--removing arsenic from water Arsenic a well-known poison can be taken out of drinking water using sophisticated treatment methods.
Recognizing that the porous structure of cigarette ash could be suited better to this purpose Li's team decided to test it.
In a simple inexpensive one-step method the researchers prepared cigarette ash with a coating of aluminum oxide.
Because cigarette ashes are discarded in countries around the world and can be collected easily in places where public smoking is allowed it could be part of a low-cost solution for a serious public health issue they say.
Rather than the light used in a traditional microscope this technique uses focused beams of electrons to illuminate a sample and form images with atomic resolution.
The instrument produces a large number of two-dimensional electron beam images which a computer then reconstructs into three-dimensional structure.
Dating ash deposits from windward volcanoes The new finding is based on measurements of the magnetic field alignment in layers of ancient lake sediments now exposed in the Sulmona basin of the Apennine Mountains east of Rome Italy.

Under a strong electric field the cathode emits tight high-speed beams of electrons through its sharp nanotube tips--a phenomenon called field emission.
Field emission electron sources catch scientists'attention due to its ability to provide intense electron beams that are about a thousand times denser than conventional thermionic cathode (like filaments in an incandescent light bulb.
New method for estimating nutrient stocks, flows in agriculture A quantitative model for measuring sustainability in the Finnish agricultural sector has been developed in a new thesis. The new model challenges the OECD method which is used currently
Moreover her thesis include a new dynamic approach to model nutrient stocks and flows. The new model was developed in the Finnish agricultural sector where the stocks
and flows of nitrogen and phosphorus were estimated from a 48-year period. It was applied furthermore in the data of 14 EU countries in the period between 1961 and 2009.
Kuosmanen's dynamic model enables the analysis of the development of nutrient stock over time and the distribution of the nutrient flows into water air and soil.
The stocks and outflows from the stock calculated using the dynamic model could be utilized in sustainability assessment as indicators of environmental pressure from agriculture.

The plasma light is split into two beam channels and broken down into several wavebands like the colors of a rainbow
In the first beam channel light-sensitive electronic components known as CCD line sensors record the entire spectrum of the sample.
The second beam channel produces time-resolved measurements of individual spectral lines--adjusted so that the instrument can distinguish between light emitted by te plasma
As a result we only require a single beam channel and thus a single optical unit says Brockherde.
