Prime Minister announces £20m to grow medicines manufacturing in the UK

The Prime Minister will launch the government’s new capital investment fund, the Medicines and Diagnostic Manufacturing Transformation Fund, while visiting North Wales later today. This will open up investment opportunities for medicines manufacturers in England, Scotland and Wales – improving our domestic medicine supply chains and creating thousands of highly skilled jobs in the process.

NoviSphere™ Launches Pathogen-Eradication System

NoviSphere™, a developer of comprehensive rarified-environment solutions officially launched today. Using scientifically proven short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV-C) pathogen-eradication systems and additional cleanroom technologies, NoviSphere delivers ultraclean, protected environments that promote health and safety, allowing people to get back to business, back to work and back to life.

Essentium Introduces Industry-First Anti-Static Material To Advance Additive Manufacturing Applications In The Aerospace And Defense Industries

Purolite Announces Expansion to Address the High-demand for Pharmaceutical Products

Purolite Corporation is expanding its manufacturing capabilities to address and fulfill the increasing global demand for its pharmaceutical and life science products. The new facility will include two new cleanrooms to manufacture active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients and an agarose manufacturing facility equipped with proprietary jetting technology for the capture and purification of (mAbs) monoclonal antibodies sold under the Praesto® brand.

Summa Equity acquires G-CON Manufacturing, the leading US-based provider of POD® cleanroom solutions

Summa Equity Fund II (“Summa”) has acquired a majority stake in G-CON, a leading US-based manufacturer of prefabricated cleanrooms used for manufacturing within the pharmaceuticals industry. G-CON designs, builds and installs turnkey cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) compliant suites called PODs, for a global biopharma customer base focused on biologics, pharma, CDMO (contract development and manufacturing), and cell and gene therapy manufacturing.

GlobalFoundries Plans to Build New Fab in Upstate New York in Private-Public Partnership to Support U.S. Semiconductor Manufacturing

GlobalFoundries (GF), the global leader in feature-rich semiconductor manufacturing, today announced its expansion plans for its most advanced manufacturing facility in upstate New York over the coming years. These plans include immediate investments to address the global chip shortage at its existing Fab 8 facility as well as construction of a new fab on the same campus that will double the site’s capacity.

Freudenberg Medical Supports the Fight against Covid-19 in India

Freudenberg Medical, part of the Freudenberg Group and a global contract manufacturing partner to the medical device and pharmaceutical industry, has added a support team in India for customer sales and service to the region. Freudenberg is committed to serving medical device and pharmaceutical customers also present in Asia Pacific region with local operations in China and Singapore.

Graphene Foam Sculpted into Conductive 3D Carbon Blocks

Rice scientists are making 3D laser-induced graphene (LIG) foam through an automated process that begins by turning the top layer of a polyimide (PI) sheet into graphene (top), stacking another layer on top (center) with ethylene glycol (EG) as a binder and then burning the top layer’s PI into graphene as well (bottom). The process is repeated as necessary. Courtesy of the Tour Group

Graphene Electrodes Enable Higher Quality Brain Cell Imaging

Graphene electrodes could enable higher quality imaging of brain cell activity thanks to new research by a team of engineers and neuroscientists at the University of California San Diego. The researchers developed a technique, using platinum nanoparticles, to lower the impedance of graphene electrodes by 100 times while keeping them transparent.

Coral-Shaped Nanoparticles Built Using Engineered Peptoids

Coral-shaped nanoparticles built by design using engineered peptoids. Scientists manipulate shapes while enhancing optical properties of tiny particles.Researchers have long worked to address a grand challenge in synthesis science: to design and synthesize bio-inspired functional materials that rival those found in biology.

Farthest Individual Star Ever Seen

More than halfway across the universe, an enormous blue star nicknamed Icarus is the farthest individual star ever seen. Normally, it would be much too faint to view, even with the world’s largest telescopes. Through a quirk of nature that tremendously amplifies the star’s feeble glow, however, astronomers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope were able to pinpoint this faraway star. They also used Icarus to test a theory of dark matter, and to probe the makeup of a foreground galaxy cluster.

Probiotic bacteria can diagnose, prevent, and treat infections

MIT engineers have developed a probiotic mix of natural and engineered a probiotic bacteria to diagnose and treat cholera, an intestinal infection that causes severe dehydration. Cholera outbreaks are usually caused by contaminated drinking water, and infections can turn fatal if not treated.

Magnetic 3D Printing Biomedical Devices

MIT engineers have created soft, 3D-printed structures whose movements can be controlled with a wave of a magnet, much like marionettes without the strings. The menagerie of structures that can be magnetically manipulated includes a smooth ring that wrinkles up, a long tube that squeezes shut, a sheet that folds itself, and a spider-like “grabber” that can crawl, roll, jump, and snap together fast enough to catch a passing ball.

Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy Improvements

Cellectis, a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing immunotherapies based on gene edited CAR T-cells (UCART), today announced the publication of a study in Scientific Reports, a Nature Publishing Group journal, describing the development of the CubiCAR, an all-in-one Chime

E06 Antibody Blocks Inflammation

E06 Antibody Blocks Inflammation, Protects Mice from Hardened Arteries and Liver Disease. Study uncovers new potential therapeutic approach for a number of diseases linked to inflammation, including atherosclerosis, aortic stenosis and hepatic steatosis

Graphene Carpets Improve Neuron Communication

A work led by SISSA and published on Nature Nanotechnology reports for the first time experimentally the phenomenon of ion ‘trapping’ by graphene carpets and its effect on the communication between neurons. The researchers have observed an increase in the activity of nerve cells grown on a single layer of graphene.
