Effects of Non-straight Carbon Nanotubes on Nanocomposite Properties
TEHRAN (FNA)- An Iranian researcher from Tehran University used multi-scaled modeling and investigated the effects of the non-straight form of carbon nanotubes on nanocomposite properties in the final material. Read More
Nuclear DNA – 25 Year Computer Simulation Results
DNA carries out its activities “diluted” in the cell nucleus. In this state it synthesises proteins and, even though it looks like a messy tangle of thread, in actual fact its structure is governed by precise rules that are important for it to carry out its functions. Biologists have studied DNA by observing it with […]
Researchers Discover New Method For Bonding Gels And Biological Tissues
Researchers have discovered an efficient and easy-to-use method for bonding together gels and biological tissues. A team involving researchers from the Laboratoire Matière Molle et Chimie (CNRS/ESPCI ParisTech) and the Laboratoire Physico-Chimie des Polymères et Milieux Dispersés (CNRS/ UPMC/ESPCI ParisTech), has successfully achieved a very strong adhesion between two gels by spreading a solution containing […]
NASA, CASIS Make Space Station Accessible for Stem Cell Research
Scientists take advantage of the space station’s microgravity environment to study the properties of non-embryonic stem cells. Dec. 6, 2013 – NASA and the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) are enabling research aboard the International Space Station that could lead to new stem cell-based therapies for medical conditions faced on Earth and […]
Rare Bacterium Discovered In Cleanrooms Can Withstand Chemical Cleaning, Ultraviolet Rays

Setting Up A Conformal Coating Production Facility – Electronics Manufacting / Assembly
General Requirements Any coating facility will need the basic requirements put in place that would be standard for any piece of electronic manufacturing process. These include ESD systems, facilities for the machines, the environmental requirements and the normal Health & Safety (HSE) considerations. The first two are straightforward and are not considered here. However, the […]
