LG NanoH2O, Inc., manufacturer of the most efficient and cost-effective reverse osmosis (RO) membranes for desalination, announces that it is now part of the newly launched LG Water Solutions business unit created by its parent company, LG Chem.
Canadian researchers have found a way to screen blood samples for molecular traces that indicate the presence of precancerous polyps in the colon, a key warning sign for colon cancer.
Using a succession of biological mechanisms, Sandia National Laboratories researchers have created linkages of polymer nanotubes that resemble the structure of a nerve, with many out-thrust filaments poised to gather or send electrical impulses.
Carnegie Mellon University spinoff nanoGriptech has announced the launch of Setex™, the first commercially available gecko-inspired adhesive. Because it is dry and can repeatedly grip to surfaces without leaving a residue, Setex™ addresses the needs of many industries, including automotive, manufacturing, medical, defense, aerospace and apparel.
Top technologists from AMD are detailing the engineering accomplishments behind the performance and energy efficiency of the new high-performance Accelerated Processing Unit (APU), codenamed "Carrizo," and the new AMD Radeon™ R9 Fury family of GPUs, codenamed "Fiji," at the prestigious annual Hot Chips symposium starting today.
Rainbow Coral Corp. partner Nano3D Biosciences (n3D) has just inked an important sponsored research agreement with the prestigious University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences. The agreement covers studies on personalized pre-term labor management and treatments.
The Company is pleased to announce that their enhanced Heat Shield™ line of industrial coatings, which currently include EPX4 and High Heat thermal insulation and corrosion protection coatings, are exceeding customers' expectations for thermal performance.
Cima NanoTech, a developer and manufacturer of transparent conductive film solutions, announced today that it has entered into a joint venture with Foxconn, the world’s largest ICT technology provider and vertically integrated device manufacturer, to deliver the industry’s first cost-competitive, projected capacitive (pro-cap) solution for large format touch screens. Both companies will sell SANTE®ProTouch™ modules through Cima Touch, the company formed under this joint venture.
