Nanotechnology May Increase Longevity Of Dental Fillings Tooth-colored fillings may be more attractive than silver ones, but the bonds between the white filling and the tooth quickly age and degrade. Researchers hope a new nanotechnology technique will extend the fillings' longevity.
New Lab-on-a-chip Measures Mechanics Of Bacteria Colonies Researchers have devised a microscale tool to help them understand the mechanical behavior of biofilms, slimy colonies of bacteria involved in most human infectious diseases.
New Fluorescent Silicon Nanoparticles Discovered Physicists and astronomers have developed a new synthesis method, which has led them to the discovery of fluorescent silicon nanoparticles, and may ultimately help track the uptake of drugs by the body's cells.
Breakthrough In Development Of Tiny Biological Fuel Cells Researchers have developed a successful way to grow molecular wire brushes that conduct electrical charges, a first step in developing biological fuel cells that could power pacemakers, cochlear implants and prosthetic limbs.
Nonstick And Laser-safe Gold Aids Laser Trapping Of Biomolecules Biophysicists have made gold more precious than ever -- at least as a research tool -- by creating nonstick gold surfaces and laser-safe gold nanoposts to aid in trapping and fixing individual biomolecules for study.
New Fabricated Material Changes Color Instantly In Response To External Magnetic Field Chemists have fabricated microscopic polymer beads that change color instantly and reversibly when external magnetic fields acting upon the microspheres change orientation. Applications of the new material include display type units such as rewritable or reusable signage, posters, papers and labels, and other magnetically activated security features, as well as environmentally friendly pigments for paints and cosmetics, and ink materials for color printing.
Plastics From Biomass? Inexpensive Method For Removing Oxygen From Biomass Discovered In revisiting a chemical reaction that's been in the literature for several decades and adding a new wrinkle of their own, researchers have discovered a mild and relatively inexpensive procedure for removing oxygen from biomass. This procedure, if it can be effectively industrialized, could allow many of today's petrochemical products, including plastics, to instead be made from biomass.
This illustrates the progression of AB42 to a toxic dodecamer, or, "twelve-mer" aggregation, . Below, the AB40 oligomer only becomes a nontoxic tetramer aggregation.
Industrial or 'white' biotechnology has already begun to makes inroads into the chemicals sector, but with climate change and 'green' practices high on the agenda, how much of an impact is it likely to have? This was one of the debates taking place at Green Week, the European Commission's annual conference on climate change, held 23-26 June.

Noam Eliaz of the TAU School of Mechanical Engineering has developed an electrochemical process for coating metal implants which vastly improves their functionality, longevity and integration into the body.
Rating: R for language and some sexual content. Synopsis: Burt Farlander and Verona De Tessant are about to have a baby and decide to travel around the country looking for the perfect place to start a family.
Like astronomers counting stars in the familiar universe of outer space, chemists in Switzerland are reporting the latest results of a survey of chemical space a ' the so-called chemical universe where tomorrow's miracle drugs may reside.
