NanoLogix, a biotechnology company specializing in the rapid detection of harmful bacteria, is all set to bring its BioNanoFilter (BNF) and BioNanoPore (BNP) diagnostic kits to the market under FDA 510K-exempt status.
A novel self-charging power cell that has the ability to convert and store energy has been developed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology. The hybrid generator-storage cell directly converts mechanical energy to chemical energy. When compared to other systems that use separate batteries and generators, the new cell makes better utilization of mechanical energy.
Zyvex Technologies, the world’s first molecular nanotechnology company, is partnering with the Ohio State University’s Center for Electron Microscopy and Analysis (CEMAS)1 to temporarily host the Titan3 G2 60-300 Scanning / Transmission Electron Microscope (S/TEM) until its permanent facility on West Campus is complete in March 2013.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute researchers have created a novel graphene anode material that is chargeable and dischargeable at a rate tenfold quicker than traditional graphite anodes utilized in present rechargeable lithium (Li)-ion batteries, without any considerable energy density loss.
Focus Graphite has reported that Grafoid and CVD Equipment have entered into a one-year Joint Intellectual Property Development Agreement. Focus Graphite has a 40% stake in Grafoid.

Texas Children's Hospital has become the first North American institution to own a Leica microsystems gated stimulation emission depletion (G-STED) microscope, which enables scientists to capture less than 40 nm resolution images within live cells.
Industrial Nanotech, a provider of energy conserving solutions based on nanotechnology, has reported that its patented Nansulate translucent thermal insulation and protective coating will be utilized for skylight insulation in the recently awarded Caribbean Marketplace Renovation Project. The City of Miami is undertaking the renovation project.
A research team led by Erin Lavik from the Case Western Reserve University has demonstrated that nanoparticles customized to bind with blood platelets quickly stop bleeding, thus doubling the survival rate in the critical first hour after a lethal injury.
