COMSOL, the leading provider of multiphysics modeling and simulation software, is pleased to announce the new Focus Sessions and Training Sessions that will be featured at the 11th Annual COMSOL Conference, the world&rsq...
Rice University is preparing to invest over $150 million in strategic initiatives aimed at increasing its research competitiveness, establishing a world-renowned program in data sciences and bolstering its position as one of the leading centers for molecular nanotechnology research.
In support of Governor Andrew Cuomo’s commitment to furthering New York State’s international leadership in the global nanotechnology driven economy of the 21st century, SUNY Polytechnic Institute’s Colleges of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (SUNY Poly CNSE) and Inficon, Inc. (INFICON) today announced plans for a joint research and development alliance on advanced semiconductor manufacturing technology.
Global Nanomaterials market is currently valued at $3.4 billion in 2014 and is expected to reach $11.8 billion by 2020 showing a compound annual growth rate of 23.1%. North America will remain the market leading region for several years as it has significant ongoing R & D activities in nanomaterials.
To advance research in nanoscale science, engineering and technology, the National Science Foundation (NSF) will provide a total of $81 million over five years to support 16 sites and a coordinating office as part of a new National Nanotechnology Coordinated Infrastructure (NNCI).
CeloNova BioSciences, Inc. (CeloNova) announced today that it has received conditional approval to start an investigational device exemption (IDE) trial to study the COBRA PzF coronary stent system in patients at high risk of bleeding. This is a second major interventional cardiology trial for CeloNova in the U.S., following the successful enrollment of the PzF SHIELD clinical trial earlier this year.
EPFL scientists have developed a method that improves the accuracy of DNA sequencing up to a thousand times. The method, which uses nanopores to read individual nucleotides, paves the way for better - and cheaper - DNA sequencing.
In 1952, the legendary British mathematician and cryptographer Alan Turing proposed a model, which assumes formation of complex patterns through chemical interaction of two diffusing reagents. Russian scientists managed to prove that the corneal surface nanopatterns in 23 insect orders completely fit into this model.
Using ultrafast beams of extreme ultraviolet light streaming at a 100,000 times a second, researchers from the Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany, have pushed the boundaries of a well-established imaging technique. Not only did they make the highest resolution images ever achieved with this method at a given wavelength, they also created images fast enough to be used in real time. Their new approach could be used to study everything from semiconductor chips to cancer cells.
leon-nanodrugs GmbH today announced the appointment of industry veteran Theron (Ted) Odlaug, Ph.D. as the CEO for the leon-nanodrugs GmbH in Munich, Germany, and of its newly formed U.S. subsidiary leon-nanodrugs Inc., with offices in New York City and Chicago, Illinois. Recently, leon-nanodrugs successfully completed a Series A Financing round and announced using the proceeds to expand its profitable service business and to enter into high margin service and co-development deals with pharmaceutical partners.
Matinas BioPharma Holdings, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on identifying and developing safe and effective antifungal and anti-bacterial therapeutics for the treatment of serious and life-threatening infections, today presented data from a preclinical study demonstrating tissue targeting and penetration potential of MAT2203, an orally-administered, encochleated formulation of the broad spectrum antifungal medication amphotericin B (AmB).
Synopsys, Inc. today announced the successful tape-out of a broad portfolio of DesignWare® Interface and Foundation IP on TSMC's 10-nanometer (nm) FinFET process, reducing risk for designers who want to take advantage of the power, area and performance improvements offered by the process.
Researchers with the University of Florida and several other institutions have found a way in laboratory tests to use 200 times less insecticide and yet still kill as many insects that carry the devastating citrus greening bacterium.
