Researchers Developed New Method to Fabricate Borosilicate Glass Nanoparticles

Researchers in Switzerland have developed a new method to fabricate borosilicate glass nanoparticles. Used in microfluidic systems, these "Pyrex"-like nanoparticles are more stable when subjected to temperature fluctuations and harsh chemical environments than currently used nanoparticles made of polymers or silica glass. Their introduction could extend the range of potential nanoparticle applications in biomedical, optical and electronic fields.

"Lab on a Chip" to Improve Success of in Vitro Fertilization

In a finding that could boost the success rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF), researchers report development of a tiny "lab on a chip" to evaluate the fitness of embryos harvested for transfer. A report on the approach - which researchers describe as faster, easier, and more reliable than conventional embryo selection methods - is scheduled for the Sept. 1 issue of ACS' Analytical Chemistry, a semi-monthly journal.
