A ghostly property of matter, called quantum tunneling, may aid the quest for accurate, low-cost genomic sequencing, according to a new paper in Nature Nanotechnology Letters by Stuart Lindsay and his collaborators at the Biodesign Institute of Arizona State University.
WITec, a manufacturer of high-resolution Optical and Scanning Probe Microscopy solutions, has introduced the WITec Project Plus software package for advanced data evaluation and chemometric image processing.
"Watching chemical reactions in real-time has long been a dream of chemists," says Tahei Tahara of RIKEN's Advanced Science Institute in Wako. "To reach a correct understanding of chemical reactions, this 'watching' is crucial."
Applied Biosystems, a division of Life Technologies (NASDAQ:LIFE), and its mass spectrometry joint-venture partner, MDS Analytical Technologies, a business unit of MDS Inc. (TSX:MDS) (NYSE:MDZ), today announced that the AB SCIEX QTRAP® 5500 System, a unique, next-generation mass spectrometer, has received the Scientists' Choice Award for Best New Spectroscopy Product by SelectScience.net, a leading online resource for applied chemists, clinical chemists and life scientists.
A new approach to microscopy is opening up the wonders of the molecular world, allowing researchers to examine organic molecules and delicate crystals as they grow, atom by atom. Dr Andrew Humhpris, co-founder of the original technology and now Chief Technology Officer of Infinitesima, explains how this University spin-out has turned into a leading-edge company.
The world's largest international conference on optical communications begins next week and continues from March 22-26 at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego. The Optical Fiber Communication Conference and E...
Two international scientific groups, the International Association of Colloid and Interface Scientists and the American Chemical Society Division of Colloid and Surface Science, will come together June 14 - 19, 2009 at C...
Tackling climate change, combating pollution and developing a deeper understanding of Parkinson's disease are just some of the areas of research that will benefit from the official opening today of new laboratories at Imperial College London.
Materials containing bimetallic nanoparticles are attractive in vast technological fields because of their unique catalytic, electronic, and magnetic properties. One of the most promising of the bunch is made from palladium and gold, an alloy that could be used in a wide variety of catalytic activities including the water-gas shift reaction and the oxidation of carbon dioxide - both important steps in alternative energy applications like fuel cells.
Single oxygen atoms dancing on a metal oxide slab, glowing brighter here and dimmer there, have helped chemists better understand how water splits into oxygen and hydrogen. In the process, the scientists have visualized a chemical reaction that had previously only been talked about.
