O’Malley announces venture capital initiative

ROCKVILLE, MD. — Gov. Martin O’Malley has a new proposal aimed at boosting the amount of venture capital for businesses like bioscience companies. The governor rolled out the proposal on Tuesday during a speech to academic, business and government officials in Rockville. The plan, which is called InvestMaryland, will require approval by the Legislature. Under the proposal, insurance companies would be eligible for state tax credits, if they invest in Maryland’s venture infrastructure. The money would be directed to Maryland-based venture capital firms to get money to businesses creating jobs in fields like biosciences and nanotechnology. source: Associated Press Times This Article...

Scientist attempt to make test-tube gut

Scientists are developing a “test-tube gut and liver” as an ethical alternative to animal testing for the nanotechnology industry. Experts working on the project, called InLiveTox, will be at an international nanotoxicology conference at Edinburgh Napier University on 2-4 June. The three-year £2m project involves experts from around the world. They are developing a way of testing the toxicity of ingested nanoparticles that does not involve using animals. Instead, a ‘test-tube gut and liver’ will emulate the response of cells and tissues to ingestion of the tiny particles. Scientists believe that nanotechnology, the use of particles a thousand times smaller than the width...

NANOINK’S NANOFABRICATION SYSTEMS DIVISION OFFERS FREE NANOTECHNOLOGY WORKSHOP AT UCLA ON FRIDAY, JU

NanoInk, Inc.®, a global leader in nanotechnology, announced today that its NanoFabrication Systems Division will present a free workshop at the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA on Friday June 18, 2010 from 10 a.m. through 3 p.m. The workshop, “Tip-Based Lithography for Bioengineers,” will highlight some of the most recent applications and protocols related to the controlled and multiplexed depositions of biomaterials, with applications in tissue engineering, cell research, and biosensor functionalization using NanoInk’s NLP 2000 System, a desktop nanolithography platform.

Nano-yarn carbon nanotube fiber based enzymatic glucose biosensor

A novel brush-like electrode based on carbon nanotube (CNT) nano-yarn fiber has been designed for electrochemical biosensor applications and its efficacy as an enzymatic glucose biosensor demonstrated. The CNT nano-yarn fiber was spun directly from a chemical-vapor-deposition (CVD) gas flow reaction using a mixture of ethanol and acetone as the carbon source and an iron nano-catalyst. The fiber, 28 µm in diameter, was made of bundles of double walled CNTs (DWNTs) concentrically compacted into multiple layers forming a nano-porous network structure. Cyclic voltammetry study revealed a superior electrocatalytic activity for CNT fiber compared to the traditional Pt–Ir coil electrode. The electrode...

China Says It Will Tighten Controls on Rare Minerals

SHANGHAI — China is planning to tighten its control over its rare earth minerals by allowing just a handful of state companies to oversee the mining of the scarce elements. Rare earth minerals are vital for electric motors in hybrid cars, wind turbines, efficient light bulbs and even missiles. China accounts for more than 90 percent of the world’s production of the minerals. The State Council, China’s highest legislative body, is weighing a proposal to put the government in control of private and unauthorized mines that produce rare earth minerals, China Daily, the government-controlled English-language newspaper, reported on Wednesday. Some governments and global companies have recently...

Univ. of Maryland, Lockheed Announce New Partnership

OLLEGE PARK – Today the University of Maryland and Bethesda-based Lockheed Martin announced plans for a strategic partnership that will help launch more research and collaborative programs. The three-year, three-million-dollar commitment will mean more opportunities for both institutions. The university and Lockheed have a long history of collaboration, and on Friday they announced their business relationship will continue to expand. For at least the next three years, academia and industry will come together to provide innovative solutions for global and national security challenges. “We’ve been working historically together for more than seven decades, but we’ve never...

UK: PhD studentship – Department of Chemistry

The Exploitation of Micro Reactors to Efficiently Manufacture Highly Active Nano Catalysts for Green Chemistry Supervisors: Dr Paul Watts and Dr M. Grazia Francesconi, University of Hull – Department of Chemistry The main objective of this project is preparation and functionalization of metal oxide nanoparticles in a microfluidic reactor. The advantages of this innovative approach are numerous. Firstly, synthesis of nanoparticles in micro reactors assures better homogeneity of the particles size and favours the production of monodisperse particles, compared to more traditional “on the bench” synthetic approaches. Secondly, the use of a micro reactor provides a process for continuous...
