NanoViricides Enters Non-Disclosure Agreement with the Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute

NanoViricides, Inc. (the "Company") said it has signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with the Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute (“LRRI”). The Company intends to enter into a Master Services Agreement with LRRI for the IND-enabling efficacy studies of both its broad-spectrum injectable and oral FluCide® drug candidates. These studies will employ multiple unrelated subtypes and strains of Influenza A, including the novel H7N9 strain, the subtype which is currently circulating in China.

Two-Dimensional Arrays of Micrograins Provide New Way of Controlling Acoustic Waves

In some ways, granular material — such as a pile of sand — can behave much like a crystal, with its close-packed grains mimicking the precise, orderly arrangement of crystalline atoms. Now researchers at MIT have pushed that similarity to a new limit, creating two-dimensional arrays of micrograins that can funnel acoustic waves, much as specially designed crystals can control the passage of light or other waves.

Researchers Devise Synthesis Method for Hierarchical Nano-Length Scale Porous Polymer Films

Forming perfect porous polymer films is not enough; they need both large and small pores, and the process of making them needs to be simple, versatile and repeatable. Creatively combining already established techniques, Cornell materials researchers have devised a so-called hierarchical porous polymer film synthesis method that may help make these materials useful for applications ranging from catalysis to bioengineering.
