Researchers have developed a novel method of attack against the AIDS virus that involves creating a prevention system, i.e. an "armor" in the cells that are likely to be infected and thus impede the virus from accessing them and starting to act on their immunological system.

In an innovation critical to improved DNA sequencing, a markedly slower transmission of DNA through nanopores has been achieved by a team led by Sandia National Laboratories researchers.

Ultra-strong interaction between light and matter realized.

The current tendency in bone tissue engineering is developing materials that temporarily substitute for the bone while inducing its regeneration in such a way that this, temporary material, disappears as the bone recovers its space.

Through advancements in nanotechnology, Professor Babak Parviz, from the University of Washington, will explain at a NASA talk how contact lenses have been converted into systems that can complete extraordinary tasks.

MTECH Laboratories receives $150K NSF award to demonstrate the feasibility of its novel, high-efficiency energy distribution system for large buildings.

Researchers seeking to learn more about stroke by studying how the body responds to toxins in snake venom are this week releasing new findings that they hope will aid in the development of therapies for heart disease and, surprisingly, cancer.

Over millions of years, retroviruses, which insert their genetic material into the host genome as part of their replication, have left behind bits of their genetic material in vertebrate genomes. In a recent study, a team of researchers found that human and other vertebrate genomes also contain many ancient sequences from Ebola/Marburgviruses and Bornaviruses -- two deadly virus families.

There were 2 successful exits for cleantech investors this week and 2 new investments of over $100 million.
