mPhase Technologies, Inc. today announced that its consumer products division, mPower Technologies Inc., will unveil the mPower Emergency Illuminator at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

An ultra-high-resolution imaging technique using X-ray diffraction is a step closer to fulfilling its promise as a window on nanometer-scale structures in biological samples. Researchers report progress in applying an approach to "lensless" X-ray microscopy that they introduced one year ago, with the potential to yield insights for evolutionary biology and biotechnology. They have produced the first images, using this technique, of biological cells -- specifically the intriguing polyextremophile Deinococcus radiourans.

Photon Energy a.s. this month, completed construction on four photovoltaic plants across the Czech Republic and has connected them to the grid. The combined installed capacity of these plants is 2.66 megawatts (MW).

Iberdrola Renewables has completed construction of the 149-megawatt (MW) Rugby Wind Power Project near Rugby, North Dakota. The project, which represents an investment of nearly US $300 million, created more than 250 construction jobs at the peak of activity when 71 turbines, 16.4 miles of road and operations buildings were built.

Motech Industries Inc. this week signed an agreement to acquire GE Energy's Delaware solar module assembly operation, just months after GE said that it would halt production at the facility in 2010. The plant, which is located in Newark, Delaware assembles crystalline silicon based photovoltaic modules and currently employs 75 people.

Transforming lead into gold is an impossible feat, but a similar type of 'alchemy' is not only possible, but cost-effective too. Three Penn State researchers have shown that certain combinations of elemental atoms have electronic signatures that mimic the electronic signatures of other elements.

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have published a study in the current issue of Cell Transplantation that explores ways to successfully keep stem cells 'forever young' during implantation by slowing their growth, differentiation and proliferation.

The Supervisory Council of RUSNANO has approved the corporation?s participation in a project aimed at establishing the production of state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries, the first in the country.

Denis Wirtz, Johns Hopkins University professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering and director of the Engineering in Oncology Center, has been named the Theophilus Halley Smoot Professor in the Whiting School of Engineering.

Arrowhead Research Corporation today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Tego Biosciences, has completed a definitive asset purchase agreement for the sale of its non-cash intellectual property to Luna Innovations, Inc., a developer and manufacturer of new-generation products that include pharmaceutical nanomedicines.
