Nanotech Powered Mass Testing Now the Key to Unlocking COVID-19 Lockdowns

The World Nano Foundation and pandemic experts say regular use of inexpensive lateral flow rapid antigen mass testing kits is the way to beat COVID-19, its variants and future viruses.

Global Nanobubbles (Ultrafine Bubbles) Market to 2030 with Focus on the Japanese Market

Nanobubbles or ultrafine bubbles are sub-micron (~50nm to ~700nm) gas-containing cavities in aqueous solution with unique physical characteristics that differ from other types of bubbles, and have the ability to change the normal characteristics of water. Nanobubbles can exist on surfaces (surface or interfacial NBs) and as dispersed in a liquid phase (bulk NBs). Their use can contribute greatly to sustainability challenges as environmentally friendly alternative and solutions.

Honda Aircraft Company Opens New Wing Production Facility

Honda Aircraft Company announced today that it has begun operations at its newly opened Wing Production and Service Parts Facility, located at the company’s world headquarters at the Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro, N.C. The new 83,100 square-foot facility is the latest addition to the 133-acre Honda Aircraft Company campus, and represents an additional investment of $24.3 million, bringing the total capital investment in its North Carolina facilities to more than $245 million.

Exyte Builds First ExyCell® Facility in Shanghai

Exyte Builds First ExyCell® Facility in Shanghai

Exyte has successfully completed the construction of the first ExyCell® facility in China, the CliniMACS Cell Factory® of Miltenyi Biotec, a global provider of integrated solutions for Advanced Therapy Medical Products (ATMPs). The patented ExyCell technology was developed by Exyte as an end-to-end, integrated facility solution with standardized and modularized elements. These pre-configured and pre-fabricated modules enable fast-track construction thereby shortening time-to-market for new therapeutics and vaccines. The ExyCell facility is installed on the fourth floor of the ATLATL building located in the Zhangjiang High-Tech Park, and Miltenyi Biotec is now transferring production technology from Germany to China with regular operations for ATMP production is expected by autumn 2021. The facility will soon be open to visitors by appointment.

Quantum Computing One Step Closer

Quantum Computing One Step Closer

An international team has developed a ground-breaking single-electron “pump”. The electron pump device developed by the researchers can produce one billion electrons per second and uses quantum mechanics to control them one-by-one. And it’s so precise they have been able to use this device to measure the limitations of current electronics equipment.

Nanofluidic Computing Logic Simulated by NIST Researchers

Nanofluidic Computing Logic Simulated by NIST Researchers

Invigorating the idea of computers based on fluids instead of silicon, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have shown how computational logic operations could be performed in a liquid medium by simulating the trapping of ions (charged atoms) in graphene (a sheet of carbon atoms) floating in saline solution. The scheme might also be used in applications such as water filtration, energy storage or sensor technology.

Electron spectrometer deciphers quantum mechanical effects

Electron spectrometer deciphers quantum mechanical effects

Electronic circuits are miniaturized to such an extent that quantum mechanical effects become noticeable. Using photoelectron spectrometers, solid-state physicists and material developers can discover more about such electron-based processes. Fraunhofer researchers have helped revolutionize this technology with a new spectrometer that works in the megahertz range.
