A pair of researchers from the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science has created the first surface texture that can repel all liquids, no matter what material the surface is made of.
The resolution of scanning tunnelling microscopes can be improved dramatically by attaching small molecules or atoms to their tip. The resulting images were the first to show the geometric structure of molecules and have generated a lot of interest among scientists over the last few years.
Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corporation a leading developer of RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics, today announces a licensing and collaboration agreement with Dicerna Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Tekmira has licensed its proprietary lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery technology for exclusive use in Dicerna's primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) development program.
Researchers at the University of Kansas (KU) have fabricated a new material using single atomic layers of graphene and tungsten disulfide.
In metals such as copper or aluminium, so-called conduction electrons are able to move around freely, in the same way as particles in a gas or a liquid. If, however, impurities are implanted into the metal’s crystal lattice, the electrons cluster together in a uniform pattern around the point of interference, resembling the ripples that occur when a stone is thrown into a pool of water.
Ceapro Inc., a growth-stage biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of active ingredients for healthcare and cosmetic industries, announced today that Bernhard Seifried, Ph.D., Senior Research Scientist at the Company, was recognized as the recipient of the Achievement Award for Scientific Achievement & Innovation at the BioAlberta 15th Annual General Meeting and Awards Gala in Calgary, Canada on November 25.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Regenerative Medicines Market 2014-2020 - Technology, Application and Geography Analysis of the $67 Billion Industry" report to their offering.
Some bacteria form endospores on cell walls to protect their DNA in case of nutrient deficiency. When an endospore meets a suitable environment for survival, the cell can revert to the original state from which it can reproduce.
Rapid detection and sizing of nanoscale particles are of increasing importance in various fields, such as early-stage biomedical diagnostics and treatment, process control of semiconductor manufacturing, and explosive and environmental monitoring.
Flexible electronics have been touted as the next generation in electronics in various areas, ranging from consumer electronics to bio-integrated medical devices.
Researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have presented a new technique on inexpensively and efficiently fabricating nanoporous metals at varying scales, from nanoscale to macroscale. Nanoporous metals are foam-like substances consisting of air vacuum to a certain extent and a large surface area for efficient transfer of electrons. These metals facilitate more number of sites for analyte adsorption.
Researchers at the Technische Universität München have developed a new method which is able to investigate the intensity of X-ray flashes in order to improve spatial and temporal resolution.

Nanalysis is very excited to announce their newest bench-top NMR spectrometer, the NMReady 60 Pro. With its multi-nuclear capability and increased sensitivity, the NMReady 60 Pro raises the bar for NMR performance on the bench-top. The new product boasts support for proton, fluorine, phosphorus, boron, lithium, and carbon nuclei, a sub 1 Hz resolution, hetero-nuclear 2D experiments, and a sensitivity of 100:1 (single scan, 1% EtB).
A Flexure-Based Electromagnetic Linear Actuator (FELA) developed by the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech), a research institute of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), is the only locally-developed innovation featured in the 2014 R&D 100 Awards, an international competition that recognises the 100 most technologically-significant products introduced into the marketplace over the past year.
Nanomix Inc., a leading nanotechnology company focused on the development of mobile diagnostic tests to enable earlier and more accurate testing in hospital and pre-hospital settings, today announced it has received International Standards Organization (ISO) 13485:2003 certification. The certification was awarded by the British Standards Institution (BSI), one of the world's leading certification bodies.
