Showcasing the latest expansion of its global stencil network, DEK and new franchisee, Huntsville, Alabama-based AGI Corporation, opened the doors of their manufacturing operation to local customers on October 21, 2009.

Workshop and technical papers outline emerging solutions for logic and memory devices.

The NMP TeAm is pleased to announce the launch of the official NMP NCP Network website with the embedded NMP specific partner search facility.

Digital Surf, the solutions provider for micro and nano-surface metrology, was incorporated on 14 November 1989 and is celebrating its 20th anniversary.

Researchers at Duke University Medical Center have devised a way they might deliver the right therapy directly to tumors using special molecules, called aptamers, which specifically bind to living tumor tissue.

Industrial Nanotech, Inc. today announced that the Company has entered into an agreement with Angstrom Technology Private Limited to serve as the Company's exclusive distributor for India.

Metastasis is caused by marauding tumor cells that break off from the primary tumor site and ride in the bloodstream to set up colonies in other parts of the body. These breakaway cancer cells in the peripheral blood are known as circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Detecting and analyzing these cells can provide critical information for managing the spread of cancer and monitoring the effectiveness of therapies. Nanotechnology researchers have now developed a an efficient cell-capture platform based on 3D nanostructured substrates. The device is engineered out of nanoscale silicon pillars and has managed to capture up to 65 percent of circulating tumor cells in lab samples within human blood - far more than any existing diagnosis tool for CTC capture.

The Czech company Kertak Nanotechnology s.r.o, is the first supplier of inorganic nanofibers on an industrial basis in the world and is currently in negotiations with the world's largest cosmetic producers relating to the application of titanium white based nanofibers in cosmetics.

In structural biology, the only technique available to predict the three dimensional structure of large complex molecules in solution, such as proteins and DNA, is NMR spectroscopy. To catalyze improvements in the techniques behind these predictions, the 'eNMR' project has launched a new initiative. In September's Nature Methods the project issued an invitation to the entire biomolecular Nuclear Magnetic Resonance community to participate in a large scale test of modern computing algorithms.

Unter dem so genannten TIRF-Mikroskop werden Kalziumionen sichtbar, die durch die Zellhuelle in Muskelzellen einstroemen. Worin sich gesunde von kranken Muskelzellen unterscheiden, erscheint dank dieses neuartigen Mikroskops in einem ungekannten Licht.
