Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

The Desalination, Membrane and Nanotechnology Research Group, led by Professor Linda Zou, was established in 2008. The group aims to conduct innovative research on using membrane and non-membrane alternative technologies in brackish water and seawater desalination, and develop novel nano-structured materials for efficient water and wastewater purification. The research outcomes of the group will make timely contributions to address the ... Read More »

2011 – Irvine, CA – Nanovea today introduced its patent pending breakthrough method of reliably acquiring yield strength through indentation; ultimately replacing the traditional tensile testing machine for yield strength measurement. Traditionally yield strength has been tested by using a tensile testing machine, a large instrument requiring enormous strength to pull apart metal, plastic and others. The yield strength (also ...

A short segment of single-stranded DNA artificially evolved to bind to a particular protein growth factor has been adapted to make a molecular sensor for that factor. Upon binding the growth factor the DNA changes shape, bringing two fluorescent dye molecules closer together, thus producing an optical signal. After chemical attachment of the sensor to the membranes of an adult ... Read More »
