Why nanotechnology breakthroughs often stagnate before reaching the market
New research suggests that the most formidable barrier to commercializing nanotechnology is not the science itself, but rather the way organizations manage the innovation process. While nanotechnology is heralded as one of the most transformative…

It’s up to 40 miles wide, contains billions of creatures and can take 20 years to form – is this nature’s most destructive swarm?
Across the deserts from Africa to India, when conditions are right, the desert locust will swarm in vast numbers.
Their eggs, which have sometimes remained in the ground for 20 years, begin to hatch. And the young locusts (known as hoppers)…
