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 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.
The International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) will be held online due to the corona crisis and will run January 11-14 this year. For the first time, CES will take place online this year. It has always been the leading trade fair for global consumer electronics, with exhibits ranging from small chips to large airplanes and yachts. The fair covers almost all consumer electronics products and the world’s largest companies typically present their latest products and show their latest technologies here.
The IoT network of interconnected devices is Ubiquitous. IoT will reach far beyond the expected computers and mobile devices. Companies will be innovating and creating new technology, products, infrastructure solutions, and data storage solutions to stay at the forefront of this vast network. The 2018 Semiconductor Market is one that will see continued growth due to the increased need for data storage, memory and speed.
How will semiconductor companies follow such remarkable performance in 2018? Many of the leaders in the semiconductor industry foresee growth in revenue and product segmentation in the 2018 Semiconductor Market. Semiconductors are a $412 billion global industry and encompasses products such as sensors, microprocessors and memory devices. Since these are the building blocks of all modern technology, trends and innovation in semiconductors have a direct impact on all downstream technologies.
A new study published in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering documents a novel diagnostic technology that exploits topically applied nanotechnology to detect skin tissue biomarkers for diagnosis. This concept is demonstrated by noninvasively imaging connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) mRNA in abnormal scar cells, whole tissue, and animal models.
A new reagent discovered by research scientists at St George’s, University of London has shown real-time brain behaviour in more detail than ever before.The sensor, iGluu, will now be made available to other researchers who may be working on either the fundamental properties of neuronal signalling or on neurodegenerative disease such as Huntington’ and Alzheimer’s disease. The sensor will help reveal what goes wrong with glutamate signalling in these conditions.
Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory made the first observations of waves of atomic rearrangements, known as phasons, propagating supersonically through a vibrating crystal lattice—a discovery that may dramatically improve heat transport in insulators and enable new strategies for heat management in future electronics devices.
GlobalFoundries Fab plans for the upcoming year display the company’s urge to be a leader in the semiconductor market and to provide a strong position in the Chinese and global economies. Tom Caulfield, the new CEO of GlobalFoundries has a plan to improve financial performance of the privately held chipmaker. Therefore, GlobalFoundries is seeking partners to help Global Foundries be a strong competitor in the hot chip market.
The aseptic API line facility, which was officially opened today by AMRI leaders and local officials, was announced in November 2017 and enhances capacity at the site while complementing AMRI’s other aseptic API manufacturing plants in Bon Encontre and Tonneins, France.
The New EU Medical Device regulation course has been pre-approved by RAPS as eligible for up to 12 credits towards a participant’s RAC recertification upon full completion. In 2012, the Commission adopted a package of measures on innovation in health. The package consisted of a Communication and two regulation proposals to revise existing legislation on general medical devices and in vitro diagnostic medical devices.
GVSU, Beaumont Health develop medical device for people with neuromuscular diseases. A group of engineering students from Grand Valley State University partnered with Beaumont Health to create a medical device that has the potential to improve the quality of life for people with neuromuscular diseases.
