Faster biosensor for healthcare now developed (26/04/2017)
A new technology has been designed
that is 20 times faster than the existing biosensors using micromagnetic
pattern of spider web. The technology can be used for early diagnosis and
recurrence diagnosis of diseases such as cancer.
New strategy produces stronger polymers (26/04/2017)
Researchers have found
a way to reduce the number of loops in polymer networks such as gels, plastics,
and rubber. The findings could offer an easy way for manufacturers to
strengthen their materials.
Engineers manipulate water using only light (26/04/2017)
Next-generation microscopy (26/04/2017)
A novel microscopy method allows unprecedented insights into the spatial organization and direct interactions of immune cells within blood and liquid multi-lineage tissues. The assay, called 'Pharmacoscopy,' is able to determine the immunomodulatory properties of drugs within large libraries on immune cells in high resolution and high throughput, enabling new possibilities for drug discovery, particularly in cancer immunotherapy, personalized medicine, and research on signaling pathways of the immune system.
Projects in hi-tech agriculture to get more support (25/04/2017)
The Ministry of Planning and Investment has drafted a Decree on encouraging businesses investing in agriculture and rural areas, which proposes assistance in investment in agriculture applying high technology, training human resources and developing consumption market
Method to control light propagation in waveguides invented (20/04/2017)
Engineers have invented a method to
control light propagating in confined pathways, or waveguides, with high
efficiency by using nano-antennas. They built photonic integrated devices that
had record-small footprints and were also able to maintain optimal performance
over an unprecedented broad wavelength range. The method could lead to faster,
more powerful, and more efficient optical chips, which in turn could transform
optical communications and optical signal processing.
