Vaccinations at the speed of light, courtesy lasers

WASHINGTON: It may soon be possible to deliver drugs and vaccines into the body at the speed of light – thanks to scientists from Georgia Tech, who can now blast a hole in a cell, place a molecule inside and seal it back up a split second later using a laser pulse. The new method could deliver drugs, vaccines and other molecules that otherwise wouldn’t be able to get past a cell’s defenses. Viruses also use a special needle-like appendage to inject their genetic material into a cell. “Cells are surrounded by membranes, which keep what’s inside, inside, and what’s outside, outside,” Discovery News quoted Mark Prausnitz, a scientist at Georgia Tech, as...

IAT students get training on nanotechnology in Taiwan

WAM Abu Dhabi, 31st July 2010 (WAM) — A group of Institute of Applied Technology (IAT) students are currently getting advanced training on nanotechnology and nanoscience in Taiwan as part of its summer training programme. Dr. Abdul Lateef Al Shamsi, IAT Director General, said the engineering interns will pay field trips to eight of Taiwan’s leading nanotechnology research centres and tour the Hsinchu Science and Technology Industrial Park, a home to 360 high tech and R’&’D companies specializing in nanotechnology, semi-conductors and optical electronics. Hsinchu’s economy is estimated to be an annual $4 Billion GDP, with a per capita of $11,000 in US...

The International Manufacturing Technology Show, Sep 13 – 18

MCLEAN, VA – The most advanced developing technologies are critical to the future of manufacturing. A noteworthy group of those progressing technologies will be on display at the Emerging Technology Center at IMTS 2010 – The International Manufacturing Technology Show. This year’s ETC will feature MTConnect, cloud computing, nanotechnology/micro manufacturing and additive manufacturing. IMTS is being held at Chicago’s McCormick Place, September 13-18, 2010. “Encouraging innovation and investment in emerging technologies is critical to the future and health of manufacturing,” says Douglas K. Woods, president of The Association For Manufacturing Technology (AMT), which...

Ireland: PhD Nanowire Electrodes (funded)

A funded PhD position is currently available on development and characterisation of metal nanowires, and their subsequent incorporation into chemical nanosensing devices, within the Nanotechnology Group at the Tyndall National Institute, starting in October 2010 Compared to traditional macroelectrodes, nanoscale electrodes on silicon chip substrates have tremendous potential in electrochemical applications; due to enhanced sensitivity arising from increased mass transport to the electrode (3D, diffusion) and low background charging currents. Nanoelectrodes, as electrochemical sensors, offer a viable route to attaining high sensitivity for future chemical diagnostic products. However,...

Ireland: PhD Nanowires

(Ref. No. DI – 01) PhD: Semiconductor Nanowires for Sensing and Energy Harvesting Applications A funded Marie Curie Initial Training Networks (ITN) PhD position is currently available on the development of chemical functionalisation and characterisation of nanowires for sensing and energy harvesting applications, within the Nanotechnology group starting from January 2011. Semiconductor nanowires have already been proposed for sensing applications but better control of their morphology (surface defects, surface termination, shape and length) is required for the development of high selectivity, high sensitivity and high stability chemical and biochemical sensor devices. In this project...
