Rebar Graphene Material Proves To Be Twice As Tough

In a new study in the American Chemical Society journal ACS Nano, Rice materials scientist Jun Lou, graduate student and lead author Emily Hacopian and collaborators, including Tour, stress-tested rebar graphene and found that nanotube rebar diverted and bridged cracks that would otherwise propagate in unreinforced graphene.

Biomanufacturing Plant Is First Of It’s Kind In The United States

Biomanufacturing Plant Is First Of It’s Kind In The United States

A next-generation biomanufacturing plant incorporates multiple innovative technologies into a single facility, and therefore is built in half the construction time with approximately one half of the operating cost of a traditional plant. The next-generation biomanufacturing plant require a smaller manufacturing footprint and offer greater environmental benefits, including reduced consumption of water and energy and lower levels of carbon emissions.

Norovirus Vaccination Found by ASU Researchers

Norovirus Vaccination Found by ASU Researchers

The study demonstrates that the new plant system for norovirus vaccine production is effective against the tenacious pathogen and that the versatile method could be used for the development of a broad range of novel vaccines. It is estimated that an effective vaccine against gastroenteritis could save billions of dollars in healthcare costs in the U.S. alone.

Immune System Fuel Puts the Brakes on Macrophages Damage

Immune System Fuel Puts the Brakes on Macrophages Damage

When tissue is damaged, one of the body’s first inflammatory immune-system responders are macrophages, cells which are commonly thought of as “construction workers” that clear away damaged tissue debris and initiate repair. However, prolonged inflammation promotes the progression of many diseases, including obesity.
