BCAT Study of Colloidal Systems Aboard Space Station May Help Advance Manufacturing of Nanoproducts

Although it may not be herding cats exactly, all the NASA-supported Binary Colloidal Alloy Tests (BCAT) studies have ended on the International Space Station, and the experimental samples are being rounded up and returned to the participating scientists. The BCAT series of investigations aims to understand fluids and the physics behind their movement. This research might help in designing new stable products for consumers.

Novel Nanostructures Help Decontaminate Water

In her PhD thesis, Silvia Larumbe-Abuin has developed nanostructures that assist in the process to decontaminate water. The nanostructures (particles of a microscopic size of between 1 and 100 nanometres) are coated in titanium oxide to which nitrogen has been added. This allows sunlight, rather than ultraviolet radiation, to trigger the process involving the chemical reaction and destruction of contaminants.

Modified Mu-Opioid Receptor Attached to Graphene Helps Develop Scalable Chemical Sensor

Almost every biological process involves sensing the presence of a certain chemical. Finely tuned over millions of years of evolution, the body's different receptors are shaped to accept certain target chemicals. When they bind, the receptors tell their host cells to produce nerve impulses, regulate metabolism, defend the body against invaders or myriad other actions depending on the cell, receptor and chemical type.
