The world of micro and nano devices is undergoing a seismic shift, thanks to the latest advancements in 3D printing technology. This cutting-edge approach is revolutionizing the production of microelectronic and microfluidic devices, enabling the creation of intricate structures with unparalleled precision.
A new discovery has reshaped our understanding of PCR chip technology: water vapor, not air expansion, is the primary culprit behind bubble formation in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based chips. This revelation has led to the development of a high-pressure liquid seal technique that effectively eliminates bubbles and prevents water loss during the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) process.
En un estudio inicial publicado en el Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry de la ACS, se demostró que los animales que consumen partículas de este material alternativo presentaron problemas de salud, entre ellos, da?o hepático y desequilibrios de la microbiota intestinal.
En este estudio de prueba de concepto, se analizó el plasma sanguíneo de más de 2000 personas para establecer una relación entre los patrones moleculares y el cáncer de pulmón, lo que permitió extrapolar una posible “huella dactilar del cáncer”.
Ahora, los investigadores de ACS Energy Letters informan que han desarrollado un método más limpio para extraer hierro de un mineral de hierro sintético mediante un proceso electroquímico, que, según dicen, podría competir con los altos hornos en términos de costos.
The Korea Institute of Energy Research (President Yi Chang-keun, hereinafter referred to as “KIER”) has successfully developed ultra-lightweight flexible perovskite/CIGS tandem solar cells and achieved a power conversion efficiency of 23.64%, which is the world’s highest efficiency of the flexible perovskite/CIGS tandem solar cells reported to date.
A tiny, soft, flexible robot that can crawl through earthquake rubble to find trapped victims or travel inside the human body to deliver medicine may seem like science fiction, but an international team led by researchers at Penn State are pioneering such adaptable robots by integrating flexible electronics with magnetically controlled motion.
New research in JNCCN?from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and James Comprehensive Cancer Center found socially vulnerable patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer were significantly less likely to receive key components of quality care and had poorer survival.
Most stars form in clusters, where hundreds to thousands of stars coevolve in proximal environmental conditions that dictate how planetary systems might develop. Nearby massive stars can also contribute intense ionizing radiation, adding external dynamics that form a shell of ionized gas around a protoplanetary disk and emit unique hydrogen recombination spectral lines. Now, a team of astronomers has used archived Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations to identify for the first time the characteristic radio recombination lines associated with these ionized shells surrounding Solar System-sized proplyd disks in the Orion Nebula Cluster, at a distance of 1000 light-years from Earth.
