NanoViricides Submits Grant Application to DOD for Development of Broad-Spectrum Nanoviricides Drugs

NanoViricides, Inc. (OTC BB: NNVC.OB) (the "Company"), said that it has recently submitted a grant application to the Department of Defense. This grant, if awarded, will be used for the development of broad-spectrum nanoviricides drugs. If successful, a broad-spectrum nanoviricide could be employed as an important Medical CounterMeasure (MCM) against bio-terrorism and emerging infectious diseases such as Ebola/Marburg, and Dengue.

Researchers Develop New Class of Ceramics

To most people, the word "ceramics," refers to opaque clay flower pots or translucent porcelain tea cups. But not all ceramics block or scatter light. Gary L. Messing, distinguished professor of ceramic science and engineering, and his group at Pennsylvania State University, are developing a brand new class of ceramics that are so pure and perfectly transparent, they can be used as a substitute for crystals in solid-state lasers.
