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.
For the first time, a team of scientists from the Universities of Erlangen-Nuremberg (Germany) and Bayreuth has described how novel nanostructures can be used to transport energy across several micrometers at room temperature.

The capture and analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood of cancer patients is a valuable tool for treatment decisions and therapy monitoring. Until recently, it was a huge challenge to capture these rare cells in a blood sample.
eSilicon Corporation, a leading independent semiconductor design and manufacturing solutions provider, today announced the addition of CSMC Technologies Corporation, a leading pure-play specialty analog foundry, to MPW Explorer. MPW Explorer is eSilicon's automated, instant online quote system for multi-project wafer (MPW) shuttles.
Nanopool GmbH acquired the nano-tech division of the Swiss company Bühler AG, one of the five worldwide leading players in the surface coating sector, and thus processed the biggest acquisition in the company's history. "The Bühler technology is successfully established in the USA and Asia for years," Sascha Schwindt stated.
The Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University and Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Pohang, South Korea, have announced a partnership that will catalyze discoveries with a major impact on health care and clean energy applications.
In several years - maybe in one or two decades, but maybe sooner or never - one of the existing problems will be solved in an original way: our computers, nanoantennas and other kinds of equipment will operate on the base of photons, rather than electrons.
Researchers at the University of Strathclyde are developing groundbreaking plasma based light amplifiers that could replace traditional high power laser amplifiers.
