A licensing agreement between the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) and specialty glass provider Mo-Sci Corporation will make SRNL's unique Porous Walled Hollow Glass Microspheres available for use in targeted drug delivery, hydrogen storage and other uses, including applications still being developed. http://www.physorg.com/news180273171.html Nanotechnology Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:30:03 EST news180273171 Producing metallic hollow spheres is complicated: It has not yet been possible to make the small sizes required for new high-tech applications. Now for the first time researchers have manufactured ground hollow spheres measuring just two to ten millimeters. http://www.physorg.com/news174647075.html Chemistry Tue, 13 Oct 2009 10:09:39 EST news174647075 (PhysOrg.com) -- Sticky is good. A University of California, San Diego bioengineer is the first author on an article in the journal Science that provides insights on the `stickiness of life.` The big idea is that cells, tissues and organisms hailing from all limbs of the tree of life respond to stimuli using basic biological `modules.` For example, the researchers outlined similar strategies across biology for fulfilling the tasks of `sticking together` (cell-cell interactions), `sticking to their surroundings` (cell-extracellular matrix [ECM] interactions), and responding to forces. http://www.physorg.com/news158594322.html Biology Fri, 10 Apr 2009 14:59:11 EST news158594322 (PhysOrg.com) -- Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Cornell University have capitalized on a process for manufacturing integrated circuits at the nanometer level to engineer the first-ever nanoscale fluidic device with complex three-dimensional surfaces. As described in a recent paper in the journal Nanotechnology,* the Lilliputian chamber is a prototype for future tools with custom-designed surfaces to manipulate and measure different types of nanoparticles in solution. http://www.physorg.com/news158424738.html Nanotechnology Wed, 08 Apr 2009 15:52:42 EST news158424738 The vacancy sign is on, but the lowlifes who check in never check out. Scientists at the University of Florida and the University of New Mexico have created tiny microscopic spheres that trap and kill harmful bacteria in a manner the scientists liken to "roach motels" snaring and killing cockroaches. http://www.physorg.com/news146759049.html Chemistry Mon, 24 Nov 2008 14:24:09 EST news146759049
