In the television drama “Mission Impossible,” instructions for the mission were delivered on an audio tape that destroyed itself immediately after being played. Should that series ever be revived, its producers might want to talk with Georgia Institute of Technology professor Andrei Fedorov about using his “disappearing circuits” to deliver the instructions.
Peidong Yang, a University of California, Berkeley, chemist who is trying to capture carbon dioxide from the air and turn it into a sustainable transportation fuel, has been named a MacArthur “genius” Fellow.
A team of researchers in the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin has invented a method for producing inexpensive and high-performing wearable patches that can continuously monitor the body’s vital signs for human health and performance tracking, potentially outperforming traditional monitoring tools such as cardiac event monitors.
WaferGen Bio-systems announced that the Company will commence the commercial launch of the ICELL8™ Single-Cell System at the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) Annual Meeting taking place October 6-8, 2015, in Baltimore, MD. The system will create a new standard for single-cell analysis, enabling unbiased isolation of up to 1,800 single cells on a single chip.
Researchers have for the first time developed a technique that coats anticancer drugs in membranes made from a patient's own platelets, allowing the drugs to last longer in the body and attack both primary cancer tumors and the circulating tumor cells that can cause a cancer to metastasize. The work was tested successfully in an animal model.
The eBeam Initiative, a forum dedicated to the education and promotion of new semiconductor manufacturing approaches based on electron beam (eBeam) technologies, today announced the completion of its fourth annual eBeam Initiative members' perceptions survey. A record 64 industry luminaries representing 35 different companies from across the semiconductor ecosystem—including chip design, equipment, materials and manufacturing as well as photomasks—participated in this year's survey.
Further catalyzing Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s innovation-focused business growth strategy for New York State, SUNY Polytechnic Institute’s Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (SUNY Poly CNSE) today announced that high-tech architectural and engineering firm DPS Engineering will establish its U.S. Advanced Technology Group headquarters at SUNY Poly CNSE’s $24 billion Albany campus as a result of the governor’s STARTUP-NY initiative.
New generation of nanocar includes a motor and an easier way to track its movement.
