Miniaturized DNA sewing machines: Japanese researchers have found a way to build long threads of DNA using miniaturized hooks and bobbins. In fact, they've demonstrated how to manipulate delicate DNA chains without breaking them. They've designed these laser-directed microdevices to pick up and manipulate individual molecules of DNA. The scientists have used optical tweezers...; Tags: DNA, Molecule, Biotechnology, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2008-07-13

Shooting movies of molecules: Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's DOE Argonne National Laboratory have developed techniques for creating movies of biological and chemical molecules. It has been done before for crystalline structures of salt or metals, but organic molecules are more complex, and more difficult to catch. Until now, researchers had to...; Tags: Argonne National Laboratory, Molecule, Biotechnology, Productivity, Research & Development, Business Operations, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2008-04-17
Lasers for analyzing our breath?: According to the Optical Society of America OSA, U.S. researchers have shown it is possible to use lasers to analyze our breath to detect diseases such as asthma or cancer. This technique -- hold your breath -- is called 'cavity-enhanced direct optical frequency comb spectroscopy.' It is based on research...; Tags: Breath, Laser, Molecule, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2008-02-19

Snowflakes or 3-D snowfakes?: Snowflakes have been puzzling mathematicians for about four centuries. Still, scientists have never been able to fully explain snowflake shapes. For example, is this true that their six-pointed structure reflect an underlying crystal structure? Now, two U.S. mathematicians have developed software that simulates 3-D snowflakes. And they discovered that even...; Tags: 3D, Researcher, Image, Computer, Molecule, Productivity, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2008-01-21

Predicting drug side effects: It would certainly be nice for the pharmaceutical industry to identify potential side effects of a drug before it starts to be tested on humans. Now, a research team at the University of California, San Diego UCSD might have found a solution. They have developed a new computational technique to...; Tags: Technology Review, Protein, Drug, Molecule, UCSD, Philip Bourne, Tamoxifen, Team Management, Productivity, Management, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-12-16
Conversations between bacteria: Did you know that bacteria 'talked' with each other by using small molecules to coordinate their behavior and decide when it's a good time to infect you? A recent American Chemical Society's Weekly PressPac briefly describes how UK researchers are working toward a Rosetta stone for microbes' secret language (scroll...; Tags: Bacteria, Molecule, Biotechnology, Web Site Development, Productivity, Security, Internet, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-12-13
New oil-repelling material from MIT: MIT researchers have developed flexible surface coatings that repel oils. According to the research team, this is the first material able to do it. They say that these findings could have applications in aviation, space travel and hazardous waste cleanup. Their oil-repelling, or 'oleophobic' material, is using specially prepared microfibers,...; Tags: Surface, Droplet, Massachusetts Institute Of Technology, Polymer, Molecule, Fiber, Network Technology, Networking, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-12-09
Rice re-engineers Gleevec for Novartis: Ariel Fernandez, an Argentine native and a professor of bioengineering at Rice, has led a group of scientists in re-engineering Gleevec, the Novartis anti-cancer drug, to avoid a rare heart-related side effect. Fernandez is among those given credit for the dehydron, a hydrogen bond with a propensity...; Tags: Novartis AG, Molecule, Fernandez, Productivity, Investment, Finance, Dana Blankenhorn; Blog posts 2007-12-04
Plastic to help water and gas industries: Researchers have lots of imagination. After developing plastic as solid as steel, other scientists from in Australia, Korea and in the U.S. have created a plastic which could cut CO2 emissions and purify water. Their new material mimics pores found in plants and is exceptionally efficient. As said one of...; Tags: Membrane, Researcher, Carbon Dioxide, Separation, Industry, Polymer, Molecule, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-10-15
Building nanowires to connect future chips: As computer chips are getting smaller and smaller, it becomes crucial to find new ways to connect them. Canadian researchers have developed a method to produce self-assembled nanowires that are 5,000 times longer than they are wide. They've been able to obtain nanowires measuring only 10 nanometers in width, but...; Tags: Nanoparticle, Electronics, Chemistry, Molecule, Chip, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2007-08-31
Boron buckyballs are coming: Im sure you know that buckyballs are molecules composed entirely of carbon and got their name for famed architect Buckminster Fuller because of their shapes. Now, Rice University scientists have designed -- on computers -- a buckyball made of 80 boron atoms. The shape of this very stable molecule is...; Tags: Engineering &, Innovation, Nanotechnology, Science &, Nature; Blog posts 2007-04-24
Storing hydrogen into organic molecules: While it is possible to store hydrogen in metal containers to use as fuel in hydrogen-powered vehicles, it is not today a cost-effective solution. But now, researchers at the University of California at Riverside UCR have identified organic molecules that mimic metals. Theyve used carbenes, molecules which contain a carbon...; Tags: Science &, Nature, Engineering &, Innovation, Energy &, Environment; Blog posts 2007-04-21
