Amedica Corporation, a company that develops and commercializes silicon nitride ceramics as a biomaterial platform, is pleased to announce a collaboration with Celling Biosciences, a leader in autologous cellular therapy technologies, to research and develop biologically enhanced implants.
Electrons can extend our view of microscopic objects well beyond what’s possible with visible light—all the way to the atomic scale. A popular method in electron microscopy for looking at tough, resilient materials in atomic detail is called STEM, or scanning transmission electron microscopy, but the highly focused beam of electrons used in STEM can also easily destroy delicate samples.
The Mechanical Engineering Department of the University of Tokyo uses a Renishaw inVia confocal Raman microscope to study graphene and other nano-materials in the development of energy related devices such as solar cells.
Water droplets on a very hot plate don’t evaporate but levitate and move around: this is known as the Leidenfrost effect and it always guarantees beautiful images. For the first time, researchers of the Physics of Fluids group of the University of Twente (MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology) have made images of the tiny layer beneath the droplet, when it impacts on the surface.
The aim of chemotherapy should be to kill cancer cells without the side effect of hair falling out. A team of researchers from the University of Toronto have developed a novel molecular delivery system, which has the capability to ensure that chemotherapy drugs reach their target without major collateral damage.
NanoString Technologies, Inc., a provider of life science tools for translational research and molecular diagnostic products, today presented the first proof-of-concept data for its novel massively parallel single molecule sequencing chemistry, Hyb & SeqTM, at the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) Meeting being held in Orlando, Florida. Hyb & Seq chemistry is based on NanoString's proprietary optical barcoding technology with several unique features giving it the potential to provide highly accurate data with a simple, efficient workflow.
A new imaging technique has allowed researchers at North Carolina State University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the University of Pittsburgh to see how DNA loops around a protein that aids in the formation of a special structure in telomeres. The work provides new insights into the structure of telomeres and how they are maintained.
Photographers capture high-speed motion using cameras with a split-second shutter speed feature. Similar to these photographers, scientists examine very small materials using specific instruments, which are capable of seeing changes that occur in the blink of an eye.
Kerogen is a dark-colored hydrocarbon solid that develops the fuels used for many daily activities. The main source of diesel fuels and gasoline is petroleum, and natural gas is utilized mainly for producing electricity, and also for heating and cooking. Despite this, the basic internal structure of kerogen is poorly understood.
When margarine is produced, several tons of unsaturated fatty acids are converted from vegetable oils using hydrogen. When looking for improved catalysts for such hydrogenation reactions, a German-American research group discovered an effect that puts a 50-year old theory in question.
