New molecular probes that shed light on biological systems
22-05-2013
Reactive sulfur species have attracted increasing attention in biomedical research because of their involvement in a variety of physiological functions. There has been a rising interest in sulfane sulfur compounds – compounds which contain sulfur atoms with six valence electrons, but no ...
Driving magnesium micromotors with seawater
22-05-2013
Scientists in the California have developed magnesium-based Janus micromotors that self-propel in seawater. Research shows how the micromotors can be used to capture and transport oil droplets from contaminated seawater, presenting a possible environmental application for the removal of oil ...
Moving liquid metal marbles
22-05-2013
Researchers in Australia have found a new method to induce the controlled movement of liquid metal droplets in aqueous environments, by coating them in nanoparticles to form ‘liquid metal marbles.’ Research shows that coating droplets of liquid metal galinstan with WO3 nanoparticles increases ...
On-off temperature sensing with graphene oxide
22-05-2013
Researchers in Korea have developed a new temperature sensing platform based on graphene oxide (GO). The sensor uses GO’s functionality as an efficient Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) acceptor to deliver a fast optical on-off signal in response to temperature change. Research ...
Superglue for cells
22-05-2013
Scientists in Canada have developed a super-strong membrane adhesive that can stick red blood cells together. The polymer, which is based on the phospholipid head group phosphatidyl choline, could be used to secure cells in particular positions for tissue engineering and wound ...

BASF strengthens its enzyme technology footprint
BASF further invests in growth field enzymes with three transactions
17-05-2013
With three separate transactions, BASF has strengthened its technology footprint in industrial enzymes, one of BASF’s identified growth fields: BASF has completed the acquisition of Henkel’s detergents enzyme technology. Additionally, BASF has entered into a research and license agreement ...
Membrane elements from LANXESS approved for drinking water applications
17-05-2013
The Lewabrane membrane elements manufactured by LANXESS for water treatment using reverse osmosis comply with the “NSF/ANSI Standard 61” for health-related implications of drinking water system components. The U.S. National Sanitation Foundation (NSF International) has certified that all ...
A new laser paradigm: An electrically injected polariton laser
17-05-2013
Engineering researchers at the University of Michigan have demonstrated a paradigm-shifting "polariton" laser that's fueled not by light, but by electricity. Polaritons are particles that are part light, and part matter. "We report the first electrically injected polariton laser—a truly ...
