Since the discovery of gene sequencing in the late 1970s, it was predicted that genetics would revolutionize medicine and provide answers to the causes of many of our common killers. But has genetic research delivered its promise?

In the last seven days, U.S. IT giants offer support for entrepreneurs in India, while a renewable energy project developer is raising a $356M private equity round.

Transportation attracted $704M this past quarter, while energy efficiency and solar remain key sectors to watch, according to latest Cleantech Group data.

Scientists have succeeded in growing a complex, full-size bone from human adult stem cells. A research team grew a temporomandibular joint from stem cells derived from bone marrow.

Scientists have determined that chronic wounds might have trouble healing because of the actions of a tiny piece of a molecular structure in cells known as RNA. The researchers discovered in a new animal study that this RNA segment in wounds with limited blood flow lowers the production of a protein that is needed to encourage skin cells to grow and close over the sore.

Researchers have developed a new method for adding an extended defect to graphene, a one-atom-thick planar sheet of carbon atoms that many believe could replace silicon as the material for building virtually all electronics.

The University of Illinois at Chicago will become the first university in the world to have a new generation of electron microscope, promising views up to three times sharper than instruments now commonly used and providing a unique tool for the Midwest's academic and industrial research community.

A Milwaukee startup company founded by an engineer at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) has completed a licensing agreement with the UWM Research Foundation for intellectual property that the company will use to develop nanoscale products and devices.

Researchers with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have found a new mechanism by which the photovoltaic effect can take place in semiconductor thin-films. This new route to energy production overcomes the bandgap voltage limitation that continues to plague conventional solid-state solar cells.

Poster titles are now being accepted for Johns Hopkins Institute for NanoBioTechnology's fourth annual symposium, 'Environmental and Health Impacts of Engineered Nanomaterials' set for Thursday, April 29, at the Bloomberg School of Public Health.
