The MIRACLE project aims to develop an operational lab-on-chip for the isolation and detection of circulating and disseminated tumor cells in blood. The new lab-on-chip is an essential step towards faster and cost-efficient diagnosis of cancer.
Lux Research analyst David Hwang sizes up the nanotech efforts in the US, Japan, China, and Russia, finding that varying levels of government support, corporate interest, and economic vitality are accelerating -- and hindering -- nanotech development and commercialization.
Cerulean Pharma summarizes findings on its nanopharmaceutical CRLX101 and docetaxel nanopharmaceutical CRLX288. The cancer therapy nano medicines have shown promise for stabilizing cancer in advanced/progressive disease and mitigating chemotherapy side effects, respectively.
PhyloTech Inc.'s PhyloChip technology was used in analysis of oil-degrading bacteria during the BP oil spill from the Deepwater Horizon. A peer-reviewed article on the work will be published in the journal Science, titled “Deep-sea oil plume enriches indigenous oil-degrading bacteria.” The presence of hydrocarbon-degrading microbial communities implies “a potential for intrinsic bioremediation of oil contaminants in the deep-sea.”
Europium titanate is an unremarkable oxide compound, until sliced nanometers thin and physically stretched, according to new Cornell research. The changes affected on nano europium titanate could revolutionize electronics, report the authors June Hyuk Lee, Darrell Schlom et al.
Radio frequency (RF) MEMS technology is poised for a bit surge in 2010-2011, just in time to maybe help Apple solve a vexing problem with its iPhone.
The customer designs, develops and produces high-technology defense systems for aerospace, naval, and land-based applications. The VERSALINE system complements other Plasma-Therm process equipment at this facility.
Asylum Research delivered a dual system order for a Cypher AFM and an MFP-3D-BIO AFM to the University of Melbourne, where they will be used to develop nano-scale experiments and theories about interactions, collisions, and coalescence between droplets and bubbles that underpin applications of foams, emulsions, and other soft matter materials.
ZOLL Medical Corporation selected Analog Devices' iMEMS technology to enable its palm-sized CPR device. The PocketCPR device uses an ADI digital iMEMS accelerometer to convert the motion of PocketCPR into real-time measurement data to accurately read the rate and depth of CPR chest compressions.
Nanocomp Technologies Inc. was awarded a multi-million dollar Phase II contract to advance CNT-based materials use in EMI shielding and ESD components.
