A team of researchers from the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, the University of Illinois at Chicago and the U.S. DOE Argonne National Laboratory have engineered silicon particles one-fiftieth the width of a human hair, which could lead to "biointerface" systems designed to make nerve cells fire and heart cells beat.

Plans begin decades in advance for a tremendous effort such as the first manned mission to Mars. The details are as fine – and essential – as how astronauts will breathe and eat and track their health."There's no doubt that the transportation is taken care of. The spacecraft will be developed," says Ram Gandhiraman, a scientist with Universities Space Research Association at NASA Ames Research Center.

A prominent German manufacturer of high precision, 3-5-axis machining centres, Hermle AG, has added the C250 to the C400 model that it launched in 2012.In the process, it has started to create a new machine series that sits alongside the manufacturer’s core range, which comprises six models from C12 to C 62.

For the first time, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers have successfully incorporated adult human peripheral nervous system (PNS) cells on a microelectrode platform for long-term testing of chemical and toxic effects on cell health and function.The study, part of a project known as iCHIP (in-vitro Chip-Based Human Investigational Platform), was recently published online in the journal Analyst.

Industrial cooking, heating and drying processes will benefit from replacing decades old technology with modern electronic RF energy systems based on the latest GaN-on-Si technology, writes Sally Ward-Foxton.

Availability and full design support capabilities are now being offered by Richardson RFPD for two new X-band GaN power amplifiers from Qorvo. The TGA2622-SM and TGA2624-SM operate from 9GHz to 10GHz and are offered in 7 mm x 7 mm air-cavity, laminate-based QFN packages.

EpiGaN, supplier of commercial-grade 150mm- and 200mm- GaN-on-Silicon epiwafers, announces that the production facility at its headquarters in Hasselt, Belgium, is now fully certified to the quality management system ISO9001:2015.

Research completed through a collaboration with University of Missouri engineers, biologists, and chemists could transform how scientists study molecules and cells at sub-microscopic (nanoscale) levels. Shubra Gangopadhyay, an electrical and computer engineer and her team at MU recently published studies outlining a new, relatively inexpensive imaging platform that enables single molecule imaging.

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have combined tissues from a sea slug with flexible 3D-printed components to build "biohybrid" robots that crawl like sea turtles on the beach. A muscle from the slug's mouth provides the movement, which is currently controlled by an external electrical field. However, future iterations of the device will include ganglia, bundles of neurons and nerves that normally conduct signals to the muscle as th...

Dr. Gang Zheng and a team of biomedical researchers have discovered a "smart" organic, biodegradable nanoparticle that uses heat and light in a controlled manner to potentially target and ablate tumours with greater precision.
