Prompting complex patterns to form themselves
Article Abstract:
Researchers have made progress in getting getting inorganic compounds to assemble themselves into structures around organic compounds. Successively complex layers of structures up to 100 microns wide have been formed. The work will increase understanding of nature and may have practical uses.

Can nuclear waste keep Yucca Mountain dry - and safe?
Article Abstract:
Geophysicists Thomas Bischek and John Nitao have developed a strategy for using the heat generated by stored radioactive waste to keep it dry and prevent the waste from leaching out of its containers. The approach spaces the storage tunnels far enough apart to allow condensate to drain.
