SVTC Technologies awarded $25M grant from U.S. DOE to build nation?s first photovoltaic manufacturing development facility
After a comprehensive, nationwide competition, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) awarded SVTC Solar, a subsidiary of SVTC Technologies, $25 million in funding as a part of DOE’s SunShot Initiative. This grant supports the start-up of the first photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing development facility (MDF) in the U.S. to reduce the costs and development time for […]
Thermo Fisher Scientific launches new near-infrared spectrometer for pharmaceutical processing
The TruProcess* analyzer demonstrates the proven precision of a benchtop system and is easily integrated into existing manufacturing processes. The analyzer provides fast, reliable, real-time process analysis while optimizing manufacturing throughput, ensuring product quality and lowering production costs. In addition, the analyzer includes micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology that transforms traditional NIR spectroscopy into a process-line […]
High-Speed Evolution Aids Drug Development
By exploiting the rapid replicating power of viruses, researchers were able to make biological molecules in the laboratory evolve much more rapidly than they can with existing approaches. Their new method, called phage-assisted continuous evolution (PACE), could be used to accelerate the development of therapeutic proteins, such as new cancer drugs, or to tackle unsolved […]
Power Input Connector
Positronic developed the Dragonfly connector series for applications requiring a compact package with an integral locking system. The newest addition to this line is a variant with three size 16 contacts, ideal for use as a power input connector in applications requiring AC/DC power. The connector is available with removable crimp contacts for use with […]
FDA officially rejects Lilly, Alnara CF drug
In a widely expected move, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has rejected a drug to treat Cystic Fibrosis made by Alnara Pharmaceuticals, which is owned by Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly and Co. The FDA has ordered additional clinical trials to further study the drug candidate, called liprotamase. Liprotamase was originally developed by defunct Cambridge biotech […]
Patent attorney Ginsburg joins Cellceutix advisory board
Cellceutix Corp. , a Beverly biopharmaceutical company, has named patent attorney Paul Ginsburg to the company’s advisory board. Ginsburg, who is best known for authoring the patent covering Schering-Plough’s drug Claritin, according to Cellceutix, was most recently at Pfizer Inc., where he served as head of the New York Patent Department, which dealt with several […]
The city college of New York set up a new metamaterials center
“Metamaterials have capabilities beyond normal materials,” said David Crouse, director of the new Center for Metamaterials and associate professor at The City College of New York (CCNY). “The best-known examples are cloaking devices that allow light to wrap around an object, creating the perception of invisibility. Numerous other examples can be found in renewable energy […]
Microelectromechanical switch-on: Carbon nanotube switches
Micro- and nanosized mechanical switches are used in all sorts of nano- and micromechanical systems (NEMS and MEMS) that can be applied in all areas of electronics, from cars to personal computers. But such switches are currently not very reliable and can fail easily, by routes such as sticking, electric shorts resulting in welding, and […]
