JACKSON, Ga. - Defiant until the end, Troy Davis was executed Wednesday night for the murder of an off-duty police officer. He convinced hundreds of thousands of people around the world, but not a single court, that he was innocent.As he lay strapped to a gurney in the death chamber, the 42-year-old told relatives of Mark MacPhail that he was not responsible for his 1989 slay

All I can ask ... is that you look deeper into this case so that you really can finally see the truth, he said.Davis was declared dead at 11:08 p.m. The lethal injection began about 15 minutes earlier, after the Supreme Court rejected an 11th-hour request for a stay. Justice has been served for Officer Mark MacPhail and his family, state Attorney General Sam Olens said in a statement.The high court did not comment on its order, which came about four hours after it received the request and more than three hours after the planned execution time.U.S. executions, by the numbersPolygraph for Troy Davis blocked, attorney saysTroy Davis clemency bid denied on execution eveHundreds of thousands of people signed petitions on Davis behalf, and prominent supporters included an ex-president and an ex-FBI director, liberals

A team of chemists at the University of California, Riverside, recently had a happy accident. While experimenting with stringing gold nanoparticles together, they noticed that the gold kept changing colors from a bright blue to purple to red. Indeed, the more they touched it, the more the color changed. After a little bit of tinkering, the scientists successfully manipulated these self-assembled gold nanoparticles into a polymer film that can be applied like paint. Touching the film would cause the gold nanoparticle

When linked together, the gold nanoparticles originally appear blue. But they gradually change to red wit

As The Atlantic Adrienne LaFrance put it, It like Hypercolor but for touch instead of heat. The implications reach far beyond fashion, though. Yin team says the new technology could prove useful in crash test dummies, so that safety experts could see where impacts happen. Since the gold nanoparticles respond to different types of pressure, this would allow them to gauge the severity of blow
