Zyvex Marine, a division of the world’s first molecular nanotechnology company, Zyvex Technologies, and Pacific Coast Marine announced a partnership to make the industry’s lightest and most durable doors, hatches, and other marine closures using nano-composites. The partnership brings a significant competitive advantage to the marine market by allowing Pacific Coast Marine to offer products …
Eurekalert – researchers at the University of Pittsburgh are proposing a new spin on an old method: a switch from the use of silicon electronics back to vacuums as a medium for electron transport—exhibiting a significant paradigm shift in electronics “Physical barriers are blocking scientists from achieving more efficient electronics,” said Hong Koo Kim, principal …
Fortune – China’s growth is slowing. But the unfolding economic debacle in the developed world is wounding China, not killing it. It has plenty more room to grow China has a government-led deceleration, which was necessary, now has weakness in external demand added to it, and the result is not pretty. That’s particularly true for …
Fightaging – There was recent progress towards placing drug producing microfactories in the body. These are programmable, artificial bacteria-like entities that can be set up to manufacture specific drug compounds in response to their local environment, or to signals from outside the body such as light or ingested chemicals Nanoletters – The development of responsive …
Rabbits with completely blocked windpipes were able to stay alive for up to 15 minutes without a single breath after researchers injected tiny oxygen-filled microparticles into the animals’ blood stream, in a “potential breakthrough” that may help save many lives in the emergency room. Researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital have come up with a way …
Stanford researchers have invented an electrically conductive gel that is quick and easy to make, can be patterned onto surfaces with an inkjet printer and demonstrates unprecedented electrical performance. The Jell-O-like material may have applications in areas as widespread as energy storage, medical sensors and biofuel cells. It is a kind of conducting hydrogel – …
