Researchers from the Nanooptics and the Nanodevices groups at CIC nanoGUNE (Basque Country) in collaboration with colleagues at ICFO - The Institute of Photonic Sciences (Catalunya) have imaged how light moves inside an exotic class of matter known as hyperbolic materials. They observed, for the first time, ultraslow pulse propagation and backward propagating waves in deep subwavelength-scale thick slabs of boron nitride – a natural hyperbolic material for infrared light. This work has been funded by the EC Graphene Flagship and was recently reported in Nature Photonics.
Technique developed by NUS-led team provides more precise understanding of how proteins in the bloodstream bind to nanoparticles, paving the way for better design of nanomedicines
Researchers at the University at Buffalo, Dublin City University and Queen’s University Belfast have secured over €3.3 million to develop an enhanced treatment programme for pancreatic cancer, the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the world.

Smithers Apex, in association with the Graphene Stakeholders Association is pleased to announce that BESSTECH, LLC, University of Manchester, Graphenea, Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO), Graphene-Info, Group NanoXplore, and more will present at the 2nd Annual Graphene World Summit.
Soitec (Euronext), a world leader in generating and manufacturing semiconductor materials for the electronics and energy industries, and Shanghai Simgui Technology Co., Ltd. (Simgui), a leading Chinese silicon-based semiconductor materials company, jointly announced today that the first 200-mm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers have been produced at Simgui's manufacturing facility in Shanghai using Soitec's proprietary Smart Cut(TM) technology, and will be shipped within the next weeks for customer's qualification.
Onxeo S.A., an innovative biopharmaceutical company specialized in the development of drugs for orphan oncology diseases, today announced that it has filed an international patent application to protect the overall compound related to its primary liver cancer orphan oncology product Livatag®. The patent application has been filed in the US and Europe and will be expanded to include other regions, including the Asian territories, under the patent review procedure. If granted, this patent would protect Livatag® until 2036.
Novavax, Inc., a clinical-stage vaccine company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of recombinant nanoparticle vaccines and adjuvants, today announced its RSV F-protein recombinant nanoparticle vaccine candidate (RSV F Vaccine) was shown to be highly immunogenic in a guinea pig model of maternal immunization. The preclinical study was published in the journal Vaccine.
The manipulation of electromagnetic radiation is an essential function of today's technology. Low frequency radiation -- in the kilohertz and megahertz range -- is easier to generate than gigahertz radiation. Yet higher frequencies can carry more information and travel farther.
ATopTech, a leader in next generation physical design solutions, has collaborated with TSMC and completed the certification of Aprisa™ and ApogeeTM, ATopTech’s place and route solutions, for TSMC V0.9 of 10nm FinFET process. Both companies continue to work on the completion of 10 nanometer certification of V1.0, targeting Q4, 2015. ATopTech also is included in the TSMC 10nm reference flow and is a member of TSMC’s Open Innovation Platform® (OIP).
Rochester Institute of Technology is part of a consortium recently awarded a federal grant to establish a research center for employing flexible electronics in manufacturing.
Transparency Market Research (TMR) has recently published a market study based on the global nanomedicine market, estimating the market to grow at a healthy CAGR of 12.3% during the period from 2013 to 2019 in order to reach US$177.60 billion by 2019.The study, titled "Nanomedicine Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019", reports that the global nanomedicine market stood at US$78.54 billion in 2012.
The Eindhoven-based chemical company Ioniqa Technologies has acquired 2.5 million euros' worth of funding from Chemelot Ventures and existing investors, Ioniqa and Chemelot Venturues announced last week. Ioniqa, an Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) spin-off, will be upscaling its invention that enables the full and affordable recycling of colored PET (polyethylene terephthalate). Colorless PET was already fully recyclable but most of the world's PET production of 50 million tons is colored and a significant portion is consigned to the incinerator after use. Now a change is at hand.
Researchers from Rice University have found that the introduction of nanotube pillars between graphene sheets produces hybrid structures that exhibit a distinctive balance of toughness, strength and ductility in all the three dimensions.
