The American Filtration and Separations Society (AFS) is offering filtration short course training on March 22, 2010 in San Antonio, Texas.

The School of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Georgia Institute of Technology has chosen the NanoSight LM-20 system to help in the characterisation of dimensional changes of nanogels used in the development of drug delivery vehicles for macromolecular therapeutics.

Stuttgarter Physiker entwickeln neuartige metallische Beschichtung

mPhase Technologies, Inc. today announced the launch of mPowertech.com, a website that features an online store through which the company's mPower Emergency Illuminator will be made available for sale worldwide.

Sirnaomics, Inc. announced today that the company has licensed a polypeptide nanoparticle technology invented by Professor A. James Mixson of University of Maryland Medical School.

Researchers showed showed that, contrary to expectation, it is possible to confine giant Rydberg atoms in microscopic glass cells und circumstances without significant disturbance.

When ribosomes produce protein in all living cells, they do so through a chemical reaction that happens so fast that scientists have been puzzled. Using large quantum mechanical calculations of the reaction center of the ribosome, researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden can now provide the first detailed picture of the reaction.

MediSens Wireless, a startup company in UCLA's on-campus technology incubator at the California NanoSystems Institute, has obtained approval under federal Food and Drug Administration guidelines to begin clinical trials on its novel wireless body-monitoring system, which assesses muscle and neuromotor functions in the upper extremities.

A team of researchers from two of the National Cancer Institute's Centers of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence have teamed up to develop a 'cocktail' of different nanometer-sized particles that work in concert within the bloodstream to locate, adhere to and kill cancerous tumors.

Just as fly paper captures insects, a pair of nanotechnology-enabled devices are able to grab cancer cells in the blood that have broken off from a tumor. These cells, known as circulating tumor cells, or CTCs, can provide critical information for examining and diagnosing cancer metastasis, determining patient prognosis, and monitoring the effectiveness of therapies.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes have been highly touted for their potential as novel delivery agents for cancer detection and therapeutic agents. Now, a team of investigators from six institutions have created a multifunctional carbon nanotube that can detect and destroy an aggressive form of breast cancer.

A multi-institutional team led by Yale University researchers has used nanosensors to measure cancer biomarkers in whole blood for the first time.

Novellus Systems today introduced its next-generation ultra-violet thermal processing (UVTP) system, the SOLA xT.

The country is on a scientific roll, to the point where it could conceivably be regarded as the emerging global center for scientific research, a new report indicates.
