From an article written by Michael Berger. Copyright © Nanowerk: Applications based on nanotechnology have become ever more significant economically in the past few years. They have become commonplace in the everyday lives of workers and consumers. Nanotechnology-based product innovations play an increasingly important role in many areas of life, such as health and nutrition, the [...]
From an article at reliawire.com written by James Anderson: Preliminary evidence that tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other compounds found in marijuana can promote the cellular removal of amyloid beta, a toxic protein associated with Alzheimer’s disease, has been found by scientists from the Salk Institute. Although these exploratory studies were done in neurons grown in the [...]
From an article written by AZoNano: According to a recent UCL-led research, two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have been created by dissolving layered materials in liquids. The liquids can be used to apply the 2D nanomaterials across large areas and at minimal costs, paving the way for a number of important future applications. 2D nanomaterials, such as [...]
From an article at endgadget.com by Andrew Tarantola: The sun may look round from our viewing angle but it -- like most stars -- aren't as spherical as they seem. It's actually 10 kilometers wider at its equator than it is at its poles. This is due to stars' rate of spin and variances within their [...]
From Reuters - Reporting by Alwyn Scott; Editing by Muralikumar Anantharaman: General Electric said on Tuesday it has acquired two tech startups to build its artificial intelligence capability, a move that helps it compete with IBM's Watson product. GE said the acquisitions of Bit Stew Systems and Wise.io will expand its Predix platform for industrial internet [...]
From an article written by AZoNano: AMSBIO announces a suite of high quality proteins and biotinylated proteins for research into killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors. Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs), are a family of type I transmembrane glycoproteins expressed on the plasma membrane of Natural Killer (NK) cells and a minority of T cells. They regulate the killing [...]
From an article written bu AZoNano: A group of physicists from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT),ITMO University, and The University of Texas at Austin have created a unique nanoantenna with the ability to scatter light in a specific direction based on the intensity of incident radiation. The outcomes of this research will [...]
From an article written bu AZoNano: NanoMet is measurement tool for converting images of nanoscale materials to quantitative size data. It includes modules for particle and fiber diameters, as well as a module for object areas. These modules can be used individually or together to solve problems depending upon the information needed and the nature [...]
From an article written by AZonano: Microscopic crystals could soon be transporting drugs within a person’s body, taking them directly to diseased organs. This was thought to be unachievable in the past, as the crystals, which possess special magnetic attributes, were so tiny that scientists were not able to manipulate their movement. A solution has [...]
From Nanowerk news: (Nanowerk News) A strangely shaped depression on Mars could be a new place to look for signs of life on the Red Planet, according to a University of Texas at Austin-led study. The depression was probably formed by a volcano beneath a glacier and could have been a warm, chemical-rich environment well [...]
