Designers develop plant-based splash that could be utilized in N95 mask filters Kumar Jeetendra | October 7, 2020 Engineers have invented a way to spray extremely thin wires made of a plant-based material that might be used in N95 mask filters, devices that harvest energy for electricity, and potentially the production of human organs. The procedure involves spraying methylcellulose, a renewable plastic material derived from plant cellulose, on 3D-printed and other objects ranging …
Simultaneous Detection, Sizing and Chemical Identification of Nanoplastic Mixtures Kumar Jeetendra | October 14, 2020 Postnova Analytics has published an application note that describes the novel hyphenation of Centrifugal Field-Flow Fractionation (CF3) with UV, MALS and Raman detection and how it has enabled the simultaneous detection, sizing and chemical identification of polydisperse nanoplastic mixtures. The production and use of millions of tons of plastics worldwide has led to uncontrolled release and …
New gold-nanoparticle probes for target recognizable proof of bioactive small molecules Kumar Jeetendra | February 2, 2021 The development of pharmaceutical treatments is difficult — clinicians and researchers know a certain drug can regulate particular functions, but they may not understand how it actually works. Bioactive small molecules are chemical compounds, such as pharmaceuticals, that can be readily delivered to and interact with a human body’s cells. By binding to specific proteins, …
