Nasal nebulizer gets green light in Europe
MedInvent, LLC has announced CE Marking of its patented intranasal delivery device, the NasoNeb II Nasal Nebulizer, manufactured, marketed and sold in the United States since 2009. MedInvent is also pleased to announce its first EU distribution contract with Vedise Hospital in Rome, to market the NasoNeb System in Italy, San Marino and Vatican City. Vedise Hospital has marketed ENT products for over 20 years, serving Otolaryngologists in Italy.
Radiation helped fuel first supermassive black holes
The appearance of supermassive black holes at the dawn of the universe has puzzled astronomers since their discovery more than a decade ago. A supermassive black hole is thought to form over billions of years, but more than two dozen of these behemoths have been sighted within 800 million years of the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago.
Lasers could give space research its 'broadband' moment
Thought your Internet speeds were slow? Try being a space scientist for a day.The vast distances involved will throttle data rates to a trickle. You're lucky if a spacecraft can send more than a few Mbps—a pittance even by dial-up standards.But we might be on the cusp of a change. Just as going from dial-up to broadband revolutionised the Internet and made high-resolution photos and streaming video a given, NASA may be ready to undergo a si...
Technique provides unique views of single molecules
Determining the exact configuration of proteins and other complex biological molecules is an important step toward understanding their functions, including how they bind with receptors in the body. But such imaging is difficult to do. It usually requires the molecules to be crystallised first so that X-ray diffraction techniques can be applied — and not all such molecules can be crystallised.
Advanced ceramic applications set to take-off in the aerospace industry
The demands that are placed on the aerospace industry are only set to increase in line with the rise in passengers and cargo. As such, the use of ceramics will become key, and the technology will take centre stage at the Ceramics Expo and Conference, taking place in Cleveland, Ohio, on 25th-27th April.
Astronauts upgrade station with latest batteries
Spacewalking astronauts hooked up batteries Friday on the International Space Station's sprawling power grid.NASA reported that all three lithium-ion batteries were up and running, a successful start to the space agency's long-term effort to upgrade the aging solar power system.Before venturing out, Commander Shane Kimbrough and Peggy Whitson got a hand from a robot that took care of most of the grunt work—Dextre, a hulking machine with 11-...
Satellite provides added resiliency to Iridium's network
Iridium Communications has announced that it has contracted with SpaceX for an eighth Falcon 9 launch. Along for the ride are the twin-satellites of the NASA/GFZ Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow-On (GRACE-FO) mission, which will be deployed into a separate low-Earth orbit, marking the first rideshare deal for Iridium.
STI Electronics participates in the SMTA Houston Expo
STI Electronicswill exhibit at the SMTA Houston Expo & Tech Forum, scheduled to take place Thursday, March 9, 2017 at the Stafford Centre in Houston, TX. Company representatives will discuss STI’s Training Resources and Engineering Services divisions.STI’s Training Services division develops customised training courses to fit specific training needs. Typically, STI builds these classes around company-specific standards and specifi...
Analytical software promises Big Bang in astrophysics
Cutting-edge software has been developed to help astrophysicists see distant galaxies as never before. With the next generation of space missions set for launch, the project will enable European scientists to take full advantage of the latest data.Astronomers are really cosmic time travellers; distant galaxies are so far away that their light takes billions of years to reach us. Discovering these stellar systems means being able to look at the un...
Curing epoxy features low thermal resistance
Formulated for use in demanding thermal management applications, Master Bond EP30TC is a two component epoxy that contains a robust thermally conductive filler with very fine particle sizes. This NASA low outgassing certified system can be used for bonding, coating, sealing and encapsulating for the aerospace, electronic, optical and OEM industries.
