Now, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Stony Brook University have devised a way to encapsulate bacteria in a synthetic polymer hydrogel. These new, stable, bio-hybrid materials maintain the microbes' ability to exchange nutrients and metabolic products with their environment, and could find widespread applications, for example, as biosensors, catalysts, drug-delivery systems, or in wastewater treatment.
The new Queensland Microtechnology Facility at Griffith University has ordered a Gamma sputtering system from Surrey NanoSystems, to support commercially-backed research into advanced semiconductor devices.
The prime...
You need the right tool to slice silicon blocks into paper-thin wafers: a several-kilometer-long wire wetted with a type of grinding paste. And all the parameters must be optimally adjusted - only then can significant material losses be avoided during the cutting process.
A team of researchers at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in South Africa has taken delivery of an FT4 powder tester from Freeman Technology. The system is being used in work that involves understanding and controlling the behaviour of powders used in the production of metal components.

Aztech Controls, a Chandler Arizona based firm specializing in process controls for the delivery of critical fluids, introduces an innovation to help reduce costs and time to installation for Semiconductor, Nano-technology and Solar process tools. Aztech has a product offering of inventoried, pre-engineered, assembled and tested gas sticks for ultra high purity (UHP) and general purity / non-process (GP / NP) gas delivery.
Resin Transfer Molded (RTM) composites are increasingly being produced with complex geometries that challenge the ability of engineers to maintain exacting tolerances. Preforms consisting of core materials such as honeycomb, foam and balsa must fill the complex mold uniformly to prevent defects that would otherwise occur during resin infiltration of the preform.
ASM International N.V. (NASDAQ: ASMI and Euronext Amsterdam: ASM), today announced that it has sold its Pulsar Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) system for high-k gates to two top Japanese logic device manufacturers for inse...
With products that range from carpets to kites, you'd think Rice University chemist Bob Hauge was running a department store. What he's really running is a revolution in the world of carbon nanotechnology.
Siemens VAI Metals Technologies completely modernized an over 20-year-old, single-strand slab caster at the steel works of the Slovenian producer Acroni, d.o.o. The machine head and strand-guiding system were replaced and outfitted with the latest technological packages, systems and equipment to enable wider slabs be cast with a significant improvement in quality.
