Vitamin D Assay Kit for Mass Spectrometry
The Vitamin D 200M Assay for the Topaz System is intended for in vitro diagnostic use in the quantitative determination of total 25-hydroxyvitamin D.
Antimicrobial Master Batches For Medical Device Polymers
Components made with these antimicrobial polymer blends kill harmful bacteria that cause infections, including MRSA.
Precision Piezo Nanopositioning Stage for Microscopes
The piezo nanopositioning stage is designed for high-performance microscope objective and optics positioning.
Americans Want More Renewable Energy
Americans, according to the study published in the journal Energy Policy, would, if given the choice, power their homes with renewable energy (wind, solar or other). However, utility companies have long-struggled with incorporating renewables into the electricity grid.
Predicting Lifespan with Artificial Intelligence
Using artificial intelligence to predict when a person will die based on medical images of patients’ internal organs is closer to development thanks to research from the University of Adelaide.
Earlier Cancer Detection Made Possible by University of Illinois Engineers
Early detection of cancer cells will be the culmination of medicine, requiring many new methods and developments along the way. One such method has been presented by a research team at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign College of Engineering.
Technology Evolves Hydroponic Gardening
In the most literal sense, the term hydroponic can be translated to mean “water working,” from the Greek words hydro (water) and ponos (labor). Hydroponics uses water supplemented with nutrients to provide plants’ roots exactly what they need, when they need it.
Why You Should Check Out Laser Engraving at the Next Maker Faire
The fairs, which range from mini-events conducted by communities and schools to all-out flagship festivities set up by the Maker Media team itself, are progressive showcases that display new technologies, innovations, and experimentations across the fields of science, engineering, art, performance, and craft
What is a Laser Engraver and What Can It Do?
Laser engraving, a subset of laser marking, is a process where the laser beam physically removes the surface of the material to expose a cavity that reveals an image at eye level.
Higher Resolution Electrode Array Maps Brain During Surgery
A redesigned electrode grid used during neurosurgery provides higher resolution neural readings than existing tools and could lead to safer, more precise brain surgeries.
Paper Strip for Home-based Heart Disease Tracking
The test paper strip fluoresces in the presence of heart failure-related antigens.
Some Regions are Getting Hotter, Some Colder
Some parts of the planet are becoming cooler and other parts are becoming warmer thanks to an increase in localized greening, according to evidence unearthed by a research team with the Directorate for Sustainable Resources in Italy and Ghent University in Belgium.
Don't Let Summer Swimming Be an 'Electrifying' Experience
As summer approaches and preparations are being made for spending time at pools and lakes, one detail is often overlooked: electrical safety.
New Technique for Implantable Catheters
Purdue University researchers are developing a new technique that would provide patients who have implantable catheters with a catheter that is both reliable and self-clearing, thereby reducing additional surgeries to replace failing devices.
Biosensers Using the Body's Own Cells
The idea of implanting a device housing live cells into the body to act as a biosensenor able to detect changes and threats in the body is both technically difficult to achieve and very attractive to the scientific community.
Replacing Bridge Using Novel Technology
With America’s bridges receiving a grade of C+ in an American Society of Civil Engineers 2017 Infrastructure Report Card, the Delaware Department of Transportation decided to assess a novel replacement approach for an aged two-lane bridge.
Combatting Forgery with Paper Fingerprints
Researchers were able to identify a unique ‘texture’ fingerprint by analyzing translucent patterns by shining a light through paper.
The Lasting Effect of Wildfire Smoke on the Atmosphere
The impact of wildfire smoke on the atmosphere lasts longer than previously thought, according to recent research from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
The Diagnostic and Efficiency Merits of Dried vs. Wet Blood Samples
Blood proteins remain relatively stable when samples dry, suggesting their use for less resource-intensive routine health service checks.
Electricity Delivers Drugs through Skin
An iontophoresis medication delivery system uses a direct current to introduce ions of soluble salts or other drugs into the body.
