Nanotech Security Corp., today announced signing an additional contract with another top ten issuing authority to develop a unique optically-variable security feature for incorporation into future banknotes. The issuing authority has requested the Company develop an icon with specific features based on characteristics of Nanotech’s patented technology.
Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. today announced the initiation of clinical imaging assessing the use of a potential marker for delivery of MM-398 (irinotecan liposome injection), also known as "nal-IRI," to metastatic breast cancer.
Cardiologists at The Mount Sinai Hospital have begun implanting tiny, state-of-the-art microchip sensors in patients with advanced heart failure to better monitor symptoms and reduce their chances of returning to the hospital.
Origami, the Japanese art of paper folding, can be used to create beautiful birds, frogs and other small sculptures. Now a Binghamton University engineer says the technique can be applied to building batteries, too.
The nanoscale device community has shown great interest in exploiting the unique properties of ferroelectric materials for encoding information. But the circuitry for reading information stored in the polarization of these materials has prohibited its adaptation to extremely small scales. Now, researchers at Berkeley Lab and the Soleil Synchrotron in Paris have developed a new technique that provides key information for an alternative decoding method, where better understanding will help to fully harness the properties of these devices.
Major advances in the field of organic electronics are currently revolutionising previously silicon-dominated semiconductor technology. Customised organic molecules enable the production of lightweight, mechanically flexible electronic components that are perfectly adapted to individual applications.
Industrial Nanotech, Inc., a global leader in nanotechnology based energy saving solutions, today announced that it is continuing its global development focus to significantly expand their OEM client base this year. In addition to the two previously announced relationships with the largest U.S. manufacturer of concrete roof tiles, and with Turkish textile manufacturer Ornek Makine San. ve Tic. A.S, the Company is currently in negotiations with four other manufacturers in the textile, industrial equipment, consumer goods, and food and beverage industries about using the Company's technology in a factory application to enhance their products.
An interdisciplinary team headed by Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin scientists has examined the complicated structure of dentin in human teeth. Human teeth are designed to last a lifetime irrespective of the number of forces they are subjected to. However, the scientists have still not fully interpreted the high failure resistance of dentin. The scientists at the synchrotron sources BESSY II at HZB, Berlin, Germany, and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility ESRF, Grenoble, France were able to report precompression of mineral particles. The resistance of the biostructure was increased as internal stress works against the advancement of cracks.

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Graphene Market (Product Type, Application, Geography) - Size, Share, Global Trends, Company Profiles, Demand, Insights, Analysis, Research, Report, Opportunities, Segmentation and Forecast, 2013 - 2020" report to their offering.
Many cancer patients survive treatment only to have a recurrence within a few years. Recurrences and tumor spreading are likely due to cancer stem cells that can be tough to kill with conventional cancer drugs.
In February, when snowfall closed campus and kept her away from the lab, a Virginia Commonwealth University professor who was stuck at home did the kind of work typically reserved for scientists with ample lab space, large machines and a lot of funding.
Scientists in an EU-supported project have developed a microfluidic chip that simultaneously analyses the reactions of several human organ tissues when they come into contact with candidates for new drugs. The ground-breaking device could save millions of euros in drug development costs.
Cornell engineers have created a functional, synthetic immune organ that produces antibodies and can be controlled in the lab, completely separate from a living organism. The engineered organ has implications for everything from rapid production of immune therapies to new frontiers in cancer or infectious disease research.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The Global Market for Carbon Nanotubes, Graphene and Other 2-D Materials to 2025: Applications, companies, markets and research " report to their offering.
