Interstellar Object Gets Unexpected Speed Boost
Using observations from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based observatories, an international team of scientists have confirmed ′Oumuamua, the first known interstellar object to travel through our solar system, got an unexpected boost in speed and shift in trajectory as it passed through the inner solar system last year.
photodetector could improve night vision, thermal sensing and medical imaging
Using graphene, one of science’s most versatile materials, engineers from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have invented a new type of photodetector that can work with more types of light than its current state-of-the-art counterparts. The device also has superior sensing and imaging capabilities.
ExoMars 2020 Rover Undergoes Cleaning in Ultra-Cleanroom Environment
ExoMars 2020 rover being pre-cleaned in an ultra-cleanroom environment in preparation for its sterilisation process, in an effort to prevent terrestrial microbes coming along for the ride to the red planet. Part of the Agency’s Life, Physical Sciences and Life Support Laboratory based in its Netherlands technical centre, This 35 sq. m ‘ISO Class 1’ cleanroom is one of the cleanest places in Europe.
Vertex Pharmaceuticals Acquires CTP-656 from Concert Pharmaceuticals for the Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis
Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (Nasdaq: VRTX) today announced that it has signed a definitive asset purchase agreement to acquire CTP-656 from Concert Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: CNCE). CTP-656 is an investigational cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) potentiator that has the potential to be used as part of future once-daily combination regimens of CFTR modulators that treat the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis (CF). As part of the agreement, Vertex will pay Concert $160 million in cash for all worldwide development and commercialization rights to CTP-656.
Cystic Fibrosis Therapy Improved by Lipid-Based Nanoparticles
Researchers at Oregon State University and Oregon Health & Science University are working on a treatment that holds great promise for improving the lives of cystic fibrosis patients. Cystic fibrosis is a progressive genetic disorder that results in persistent lung infection and afflicts 30,000 people in the U.S., with about 1,000 new cases diagnosed every year.
Clean Room Facility Brings 8-Inch Fabrication Capability to Cardiff University
Local business leaders across South Wales attended the launch of the new facility, which offers a range of solutions for companies working to develop 21st century technologies. Guests were able to learn more about the refurbished 225 square metre Clean Room facility and the role it plays in assisting businesses across South Wales as part of CS Connected – the world’s first Compound Semiconductor cluster.
Algae Outbreaks Increased by Nanomaterials
The last 10 years have seen a surge in the use of tiny substances called nanomaterials in agrochemicals like pesticides and fungicides. The idea is to provide more disease protection and better yields for crops, while decreasing the amount of toxins sprayed on agricultural fields.
Research team discovers drug compound that stop cancer cells from spreading
Research team discovers drug compound that stops cancer cells from spreading Via a mouse model, OHSU physician-scientists lead effort to hone a drug that inhibits cancer cells from spreading to other areas in the body Fighting cancer means killing cancer cells....
Low Cost Solar Cells for Mass Production
An international team of university researchers today reports solving a major fabrication challenge for perovskite cells — the intriguing potential challengers to silicon-based solar cells. These crystalline structures show great promise because they can absorb almost all wavelengths of light. Perovskite solar cells are already commercialized on a small scale, but recent vast improvements in their power conversion efficiency (PCE) are driving interest in using them as low-cost alternatives for solar panels.
Closing the gap: On the road to terahertz electronics
A team headed by the TUM physicists Alexander Holleitner and Reinhard Kienberger has succeeded for the first time in generating ultrashort electric pulses on a chip using metal antennas only a few nanometers in size, then running the signals a few millimeters above the surface and reading them in again a controlled manner. The technology enables the development of new, powerful terahertz components.
HPAPI Facility launches for production of the highest class of HPAPI
Minakem’s HPAPI production will be carried out with an Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) below 0,1μg/m3/8h. This emphasis on Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) reflects Minakem’s more than 20 years’ experience in continuously monitoring and controlling hazardous working environments, marking its leadership in this area.
Solid Polymer Electrolyte for Lithium Batteries Increased Safety & Performance
Specifically, Zhu and his research team developed a solid polymer electrolyte that can be used in lithium ion batteries to replace the current liquid electrolyte to improve the safety and performance of lithium batteries.
