EnviroGene’s services and DNA technology are helping to overcome the issues posed when dealing with water pollution in the face of increasing regulatory-driven demand to cut direct costs, prevent unnecessary spending and achieve performance targets. EnviroTrace DNA-based tracers map water flow from multiple geographic sources to establish relative contributions of pollution from each source. Because they are based on DNA ... Read More »

15,000 beams of light
One Chicago skyline is dazzling enough. Now imagine 15,000 of them. A Northwestern University research team has done just that — drawing 15,000 identical skylines with tiny beams of light using an innovative nanofabrication technology called beam-pen lithography (BPL). Details of the new method, which could do for nanofabrication what the desktop printer has done for printing and information transfer, ... Read More »
Science vs. religion? Unnecessary battle
HONOLULU—Science and religion do not need to quarrel, a molecular engineer and an ethicist told participants at the 20th Baptist World Congress. Clayton Teague, director of the U.S. National Nanotechnology Coordination Office, and Bill Tillman, professor of Christian ethics at Hardin-Simmons University’s Logsdon Seminary, explored how Christians can engage the technological advances that enable scientists to re-engineer life. “Science is ...

Oshkosh Nanotechnology builds up energy
A small, nearly invisible Oshkosh company is poised to make huge leaps in energy storage capacity thanks to the small, nearly invisible particles it creates. Oshkosh Nanotechnology LLC plans to use ceramic nanomaterials it makes in labs at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh to help expand energy storage capacities in high-tech batteries called supercapacitors. Charles Gibson, a chemistry professor at UWO ... Read More »
UW research: A contact lens that monitors your health
Who said ‘The Bionic Woman” wasn’t a realistic show? University of Washington researchers are developing technology that bears an uncanny resemblance to the 1976 television series, mainly the part about the bionic eye. UW professor Babak Parviz will present the technology at NASA’s Langley Research Center this Tuesday. The name of his talk speaks for itself: “What if Your Contact ... Read More »
