Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed an injectable nanogel that can monitor blood-sugar levels and secrete insulin when needed, a breakthrough that could someday eliminate the need for patients with Type 1 ...
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered that DNA "linker" strands coax nano-sized rods to line up in way unlike any other spontaneous arrangement of rod-shaped objects. The arrangement-with the rods forming "rungs" on ladder-like ribbons linked by multiple DNA strands-results from the collective interactions of the flexible DNA tethers and may be unique to the nanoscale.
Spectra-Physics' new laser has been demonstrated to enable major advances in the fast, precision manufacturing of many types of microelectronic devices and components. “With over 10,000 UV lasers deployed, Spectra-Physics is the leader in UV lasers, ...
In work to be presented in June at the International Conference on Solid-State Sensors, Actuators and Microsystems, Dana Weinstein, professor of electrical engineering and computer science, and Laura Popa, a graduate student in physics, built a ...
THE BIG PICTURE: InvenSense, based in Sunnyvale, Calif., makes micro-electro-mechanical systems gyroscopes used for motion tracking devices in consumer electronics. It earned $51.7 million, or 59 cents per share, in its most recent fiscal year on ...
