Researchers from Germany’s Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU) have devised a novel technique to study individual proteins. A comprehensive understanding of protein dynamics is essential to study related molecular level biological processes. Normally, proteins are fluorescent-labeled for diagnosis; however this labeling may alter the protein structure hence impacting the biological processes that need to be studied.

Research and Markets has added a new book from Woodhead Publishing, titled "Nanocoatings and Ultra-thin Films: Technologies and Applications" to its portfolio.
The Argonne National Laboratory at the U.S. Department of Energy has conducted two new studies, which revealed a novel method to investigate the properties of nanocrystalline-diamond thin films. This latest discovery can pave the way to enhance the performance of specific types of integrated circuits, and this enhancement can be achieved by minimizing the "thermal budget" of the integrated circuits.
A research team comprising scientists from the Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories and Duke University has put forward a theory that the efficacy of wireless power transfer systems can be improved by increasing their inductive coupling through the integration of superlens, a lens made of artificially-structured metamaterials.
