Minerals Technologies Announces an Agreement with Sun Paper Group to Deploy its NewYield(TM) Integrated Process Technology in China, NewYield(TM) Integrated Process Technology Converts a Papermaking Waste Stream into a Useable Filler Pigment, Generates Savings for Papermakers by Eliminating the Need to Landfill the Waste Product
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/08/11/minerals-t…

"NEW YORK, NY, August 11, 2014-Minerals Technologies Inc. (NYSE: MTX) announced today that it has signed an agreement with Sun Paper Group to deploy the newly introduced NewYield(TM) Integrated Process Technology at Sun's pulp and paper operations in Shandong Province, China.

NewYield(TM) Process Technology is a breakthrough technology that converts a paper and pulp mill waste stream into a functional pigment for filling paper. NewYield(TM) process technology eliminates the cost of environmental disposal and remediation of certain waste streams to papermakers. The facility, which will be operational in the third quarter of next year, will produce 60,000 tons of filler pigment from Sun's waste stream.

"We are extremely pleased to be working with such a fine papermaker as the Sun Paper Group, which is the largest privately owned paper business in China, to deploy our NewYield(TM) technology at their papermaking operations in Shandong Province," said Joseph C. Muscari, chairman and chief executive officer. "This technology provides papermakers with both cost savings and reduced environmental impact, while at the same time providing them with a filler pigment for their paper."

By utilizing Minerals Technologies' NewYield(TM) Integrated Process Technology, papermakers can eliminate the costs associated with landfill disposal or energy, and in return will receive a filler pigment that can be used in papermaking. MTI and the papermaker will both benefit, as will the environment.

New York-based Minerals Technologies Inc. is a resource- and technology-based growth company that develops, produces and markets worldwide a broad range of specialty mineral, mineral-based and synthetic mineral products and related systems and services. MTI serves the paper, foundry, steel, environmental, energy, polymer and consumer products industries. The company reported sales of $1.02 billion in 2013.

Ecotech Institute's Clean Jobs Index Shows 1.200.000 New Clean Jobs in '14, American Clean Jobs Are up 88 Percent Since Jan 1, '14
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/08/12/ecotech-in…

"DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - Aug 12, 2014) - Ecotech Institute's Clean Jobs Index, a tool to compare states' use and development of clean and sustainable energy, found more than two million job postings in the green energy sector in quarters one and two of 2014 alone. This is almost an 88 percent increase from the first and second quarters in 2013. The Clean Jobs Index classifies clean energy jobs based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics description, which says that a clean job is part of a business that benefits the environment or conserves natural resources.

Ecotech Institute created the Clean Jobs Index to provide objective job information about the renewable energy industry.


Highlights from the Clean Jobs Index Q1 and Q2 2014

Number of U.S. Clean Jobs Postings in Q1 and Q2 2014:
2,637,133 (an 87.5 percent increase from Q1 and Q2 2013)

Number of New Clean Jobs since January 1, 2014:
1.2 million

Ecotech Institute Prepares Graduates for these Growing Clean Energy Jobs:

Power Utility Technology: 132 percent increase in jobs from 2013
Solar Energy Technology: 116 percent increase in jobs from 2013
Electrical Engineering Technology: 74 percent increase in jobs from 2013
Wind Energy Technology: 65 percent increase in jobs from 2013
Facility Management: 64 percent increase in jobs from 2013
Renewable Energy Technology: 63 percent increase in jobs from 2013
Energy Efficiency: 53 percent increase in jobs from 2013

"This Clean Jobs Index really demonstrates the rapid growth of the sustainable energy industry," said Chris Gorrie, academic dean at Ecotech Institute. "Almost double the clean jobs were posted in the first half of 2014 compared to the first half of 2013. Ecotech Institute is the only educational institution out there that's entirely focused on this space, and makes sure students are prepared for these available green energy jobs."

Ecotech Institute's Clean Jobs Index is an aggregation of statistics by state. Although it may indicate a greater possibility for employment in the clean economy sector, the Clean Jobs Index in no way indicates the presence or the promise of any specific job opportunities. Data for the Index is gathered regularly from independent research entities including: American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency, U.S. Energy Information Administration, U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Green Building Council.

Kinder Morgan merges assets in $70.000.000.000 deal, the largest in the energy sector in the last 15 years
www.mining.com/kinder-morgan-merges-assets-in-70-billion-dea…

"Kinder Morgan (NYSE:KMI), the biggest pipeline company in North America, said Sunday it is consolidating its vast oil-and-gas pipeline empire into a single company, in a $44 billion deal amid investor worries about the operations' growth prospects.

The company, which encompasses a large network of oil and gas pipelines across the United States and Canada, said it would acquire its three associated companies and reorganize as one corporation based in Houston.

it will make Kinder Morgan the third-biggest energy company in the U.S., after Exxon and Chevron.

The deal is the largest energy industry merger since Exxon bought Mobil in 1999, and it will make Kinder Morgan the third-biggest energy company in the U.S., after Exxon and Chevron.

“This transaction dramatically simplifies the Kinder Morgan story, by transitioning from four separately traded equity securities today to one security going forward, and by eliminating the incentive distribution rights and structural subordination of debt,” Chairman and CEO Richard D. Kinder said in a statement.

“Further, we believe that KMI will be a valuable acquisition currency and have a significantly lower hurdle for accretive investments in new energy infrastructure,” he added.

The newly consolidated Kinder Morgan, with an estimated value of about $140 billion — $100 billion of market value and $40 billion of debt —is expected to move aggressively to acquire rivals and to expand its existing 129,000 km. of pipelines.

Under the deal’s terms, Kinder Morgan is acquiring its two related M.L.P.s — Kinder Morgan Energy Partners and El Paso Pipeline Partners — and a third related company, Kinder Morgan Management, for $71 billion.


Fracking-fuelled boom

The move highlights the vast demand for oil and gas infrastructure, especially in the north east of the U.S. Producers have tapped massive new oil and natural gas reserves in shale deposits, yet they need pipelines that can transport surging oil and gas production from there to refineries.

U.S. energy production has soared since 2009 thanks to the increasing use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and other technologies that have made it possible to tap energy trapped in shale deposits.

Oil output has increased 55%, or nearly three million barrels a day, over the period, while natural-gas production has risen 23%, much of it in parts of the country without sufficient existing pipelines.

Chinese Traditional Medicine Threatens, Turtle Populations - ENN/MB - Aug 11, 2014

- Erin Crandall -
http://news.mongabay.com/2014/0808-crandall-turtles-traditio…
www.enn.com/top_stories/article/47691

"For thousands of years turtles have been used in Chinese traditional medicine to treat a wide variety of ailments and diseases. Originally published in the journal Radiata and recently republished HerpDigest David S. Lee and Liao Shi Kun write, "[In Chinese culture] turtles are symbolic of long life, personal wealth, fertility, strength, and happy households."


Despite a lack of scientific evidence demonstrating a causative link between turtle consumption and medicinal benefits, many people in China believe they provide benefits such as maintaining youthful beauty in women and improving sexual function in men. Because of these beliefs and their symbolic importance, turtles have been highly sought after for more than 3,000 years. However, in recent years, China's economy has changed in a way that has become increasingly threatening to the country's wild turtle populations.

The most common species used are the yellow pond turtle (Mauremys mutica), the Chinese three-striped box turtle (Cuora trifasciata), the yellow-margined box turtle (Cuora flavomarginata), the Chinese big-headed turtle (Platysternon megacephalum), Reeves' turtle (Mauremys reevesii), the red-eared slider (Trachemys scripta elegans) and Chinese soft-shell turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis). Many of these species -- including the Chinese three-striped and yellow margined box turtle and the Chinese big-headed turtle -- are either extinct or are dangerously close to it in the wild.

In traditional medicine, every last part of the turtle is consumed, including their turtle meat, as well as their skin, heads, eggs, shells and even their blood, urine, and bile. The eggs, blood and bile are all added to wine to provide particular cures, whereas the skin and head are eaten alone. The shell can either be ground into powder or boiled in water, and the urine is used as drops in the ear or consumed as a beverage.

These various concoctions are believed to cure coughs, prolapse of the rectum, deafness, cancer and everything in between. The wide variety of uses as well as the simple fact that they can be transported and kept alive for long periods of time post-capture has made turtles highly desirable ingredients for traditional medicine.

Zitat von Popeye82: 'Top 10 Water Innovators' Celebrated in New Report - GreenBiz, OAKLAND - April 22, 2009

- By Matthew Wheeland -
www.greenbiz.com/news/2009/04/22/top-10-water-innovators

"OAKLAND, Calif. -- Water, it is often said, is the new carbon: the next critical piece of business operations to manage and use efficiently. But the vast majority of innovations in water technology are often overlooked by investors, the press and the public, according to Laura Shenkar, the principal at the Artemis Project.

"During this period when the challenges to water supply and water quality are just beginning to affect business, these are companies that are blazing the trail toward green recovery. They are creating what will be one of the great high-growth industries of the 21st Century," Shenkar said. "The Artemis Project Top 50 companies are just the tip of the iceberg for a major industry that will generate thousands of companies and green jobs."

To that end, Shenkar and a team of judges compiled a list of more than 120 companies that are pushing the envelope in terms of water treatment, purification and management. Those companies were then rated on four criteria: technology, intellectual property and know-how, team quality and market potential. The judges also applied ipCapital Group's proprietary ipDimensional Scoring algorithm, which objectively ranks companies within a particular sector based on the relative value of its patents.

The winning companies span a range of different technologies. The top prize was given to Arizona-based stormwater treatment company AbTech Industries, Massachusetts-based desalination experts Oasys Water and Vermont-based Seldon Technologies, makers of a nano-tube water-filtration system.

"The goal of this competition was to show the U.S venture capital community the diversity and investment potential of an international network of advanced water technology companies," Shenkar said. "The fact that the top three winners of this competition are U.S. based companies should serve as a wakeup call to the U.S. investment community. Water will be a big industry sooner rather than later; it's flourishing in our own backyard."

In general, Shenkar said the companies that made the list are working on one or more of the following six trends in water management:

+ Acoustic Water Purification

+ Wastewater Purification

+ Software for Water Management

+ Disinfection/Iodine and Ultraviolet and Advanced Oxidation

+ Waste Mining

+ Energy Recovery


In acoustic water purification, companies are using either sounds or lasers to make a bubble in the water, which then explodes; and the heat and electricity and the shock has an impact to the molecules around it in killing off bacteria and purifying the water. This technique has been used most often in small-scale projects in wastewater and medical settings.

Wastewater purification can be used to recycle water to almost any grade -- in Singapore, Shenkar explained, companies are taking wastewater and purifying it to drinking quality. Although that's not a level the U.S. is likely to reach soon, it is a technology with significant uses.

Water-management software is currently put to use at both macro and micro levels, from Global Information Systems (GIS) satellites reading the lay of the water to ground-level implementations of water sensors to maximize water efficiency in landscaping.

On the disinfection fronts, iodine and chlorine both get bad raps, but Shenkar explains that natural iodine is quite safe to use, and companies like BioLargo are putting it to use with advanced delivery methods. Ultraviolet light is an up-and-coming solution, Shenkar said, in large part because of companies developing LED ultraviolet lights, which are much smaller and less hazardous to dispose of.

Waste mining is a form of wastewater purification, where companies can take out the elements within the wastewater and use some of remnants for beneficial purposes. An example Shenkar offered was mining the nitrogen from the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico's dead zones -- companies are developing ways to remove the nitrogen and reuse it.

Finally, energy recovery takes away one of the largest obstacles for widespread adoption of desalination: it currently takes an enormous amount of energy to filter and purify water, but companies are working on methods that use the non-filtered water to power turbines that run the machine, thereby recovering as much as 95 percent of the energy needed to desalinate water.

Zitat von Popeye82: Growing resource in the Republic of Congo; A UK company is showing the way in developing a potentially huge phosphate deposit in the Congo - MJ - Dec 9, 2011
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52638065/Cominco%20Mining%20Journal%…


Cominco "Plans To Bring The World’s 10th Biggest Phosphate Project Into Production By ´14 " - MS - Mar 7, 2012

- Alastair Ford -
http://minesite.com/news/cominco-plans-to-bring-the-worlds-t…

"“If we’re going to be friends”, says Roderick Smith, when Minesite sits down with him for a nice cup of camomile tea in the City, “we’d better make sure we know which Congo we’re talking about”. Roderick’s an old hand in the Aussie resources scene, having helped in the discovery, financing +development of five mines in the last 25 years, but time round, his latest vehicle, Cominco, has taken him into completely new territory.

Cominco is focussed on developing the Hinda phosphate project in the Congo -Republic of Congo to be precise. That’s the Congo which didn’t have the bloody civil war, the ethnic cleansing, +the conflict minerals. To avoid confusion it’s often referred to as Congo-Brazzaville, but if that sounds a bit obscure it’s worth noting that Xstrata, Severstal, Glencore, Sundance, Zanaga, Elemental, African Iron, +the Chinese company CMEC are all active there.

And it’s little wonder. The country’s primary earner is oil, but it’s also well endowed with iron ore, potash, uranium, +phosphate. And it’s that last which particularly interests Roderick. The Hinda license covers 1.211 square kilometres of ground not far from the coast +the country’s key Atlantic Ocean port @Pointe Noire. Following initial helicopter-borne radiometric work, geochem, +the application of a host of other exploration techniques, the company identified eight separate pods of phosphate mineralisation, stretching from the south-east to the north-west of the license. And they are not just scattered across Cominco’s ground haphazardly. As Roderick says, +as a quick look @the schematic shows, “they really line up”. So the thinking had to be that underneath the soil cover, the deposits all joined up in one continuous deposit several tens of kilometres long .

Such a scenario would be ideal, because phosphate gets mined like any other bulk commodity -there needs to be a lot of it, +it needs to be near good infrastructure. The infrastructure is in place –indeed the country’s main highway, the N1, runs across Cominco’s ground, through the town of Hinda. But as to the resource, the next step was clearly to drill it, which Cominco duly did in ´11. The company put down 396 holes for nearly 31.000 metres along 22.5/50 kilometre strike length.

The results were highly encouraging, showing 1st +foremost that the phosphate was indeed continuous along strike under the soil cover. The results also showed that the phosphate is hosted in a graben between 500 metres +750 metres wide, +that it stacks up against any of the world’s established phosphate deposits , many of which are in Florida. “We’ve found a broad, shallow, near-surface phosphate deposit which is open cuttable, +I think it’s the thickest in the world ”, says Roderick. In Florida, thicknesses generally run @around six to 10 metres. But, continues Roderick, “we seem to have between 40 metres +60 metres consistently ”. Multiply that by the width of the graben +the strike length, +you get an awful lot of material. So far the company can show 127.000.000 tonnes to JORC standards, grading 13.2% P2O5, with 87 parts/million(ppm) uranium, +additional aluminium oxide, iron +calcium.

But already CSA Global are looking to update the resource, +the increase on the currently total should be quite significant. How significant? “Well, we’ve crashed CSA’s computer, it’s so big”, says Roderick with a smile. CSA now say they’ve ordered a supercomputer in order to be able to handle the myriad datapoints that now exist on Hinda.

The plan now is to continue with further drilling, +to work up a scoping study by the end of April. “Our target is to get to around 800.000.000 tonnes +then list on the Aim market”, says Roderick. The company will raise around €50.000.ooo in the process, money which will be spent on a bankable study which should outline a clear path to production by ´14. The idea is to mine around 4.000.000 tonnes of phosphate rock/year, to upgrade the material to around 32% P2O5 by means of an on-site beneficiation plant, +then to transport the material 37 kilometres to the coast by means of a slurry pipeline. "On those parameters, Hinda would become the world’s 10th biggest phosphate project."

But Roderick’s ambitions don’t stop there. Longer-term he has plans for the construction of an integrated DAP/MAP fertiliser plant, +although the US$1.500.000.000 price tag for such a plant seems prohibitive, he notes that most phosphate operations do work on a vertically integrated basis. The 1st phase ought not to be too much of a struggle, though. “I reckon I can raise between US$300.000.000 ´+US$400.000.000 for a strong project in a good jurisdiction”, Roderick says. “It’s easier to finance a US$500.000.000 project than a US$50.000.000 one .” The market certainly seems open to financings @the moment. It’ll be interesting to see what the response is when the company comes to Aim later in the year. "


Cominco Resources - Drilling delivers 258% increase in JORC Resource, @Hinda Phosphate Project, Congo Brazzaville; R. Smith: "I am delighted to announce such a substantial increase in the JORC Resource @our Hinda Phosphate Project in Congo Brazzaville. Cominco has now drilled >500 exploration +resource definition holes -in just 14 months , "a significant achievement for any company in Africa." The total Resource calculated by CSA Global is a 258% increase +importantly 40% of the Resource has moved from the Inferred -to Indicated category. Our consultant’s review of 47 existing phosphate mines representing almost the entire industry shows that Hinda will be the only one with a better than 1:1 ore waste ratio -3times better than the industry average , of 3.1:1. The results will be incorporated into the Scoping Study, which remains on track for completion this quarter, "+confirms our belief that the Hinda Project is rapidly emerging as truly World-­‐Class phosphate projects " " - Apr 24, 2012

+ Further 200 holes drilled, in ongoing Phase IV infill programme(resource was calculated by CSA Global(UK) Ltd +follows drilling of 384 holes, for 29.990m of drilling, with an average hole depth of 78m)

+ Cominco will shortly take delivery of its new custom dual purpose, track mounted drilling rig, that will enable it to increase the pace of resource definition drilling. The Company’s site facilities have been expanded, to facilitate an increased level of work.

Electric Imp "nets $15.000.000, to push Wi-Fi for the industrial internet"; Electric Imp, which is inside many connected devices from Quirky's products to fun Budweiser promotional gear, has raised $15.000.000 to tackle the industrial internet as well - GO - Aug 13, 2014

- by Stacey Higginbotham -
http://gigaom.com/2014/08/13/electric-imp-nets-15m-to-push-w…

"Electric Imp, a startup that builds Wi-Fi modules and cloud for connecting devices has raised $15 million in Series B financing from a slew of investors, including Chinese contract manufacturer, Foxconn. Other backers include PTI Ventures, Rampart Capital, and returning investors Redpoint Ventures and Hugo Fiennes, the CEO and co-founder of Electric Imp (pictured center).

The appearance of Foxconn, a contract manufacturer most people associate with Apple’s iPhone, as an investor indicates its apparent interest in connected devices. As connectivity is embedded in light bulbs, rings and appliances, Foxconn surely sees a chance to expand its business.

As an interesting side note, Fiennes was able to put in the capital thanks to his stake in Nest, the connected thermostat that Google purchased earlier this year for $3.2 billion. “So you can say that Google helped fund us,” Fiennes said in an interview.

The round brings the total venture capital invested in Electric Imp to $23 million, a healthy amount for a company that is building both hardware in the form of Wi-Fi modules and supporting a cloud back end for many customers. So far, most of the focus has been on the consumer side of the market, where one can find Electric Imp modules inside Quirky products from GE as well as in Rachio sprinklers. The benefits of the Electric Imp gear is that it runs software on the module that handles provisioning and connecting back to the cloud — something most hardware engineers don’t want to mess with.

While the consumer market is a success, Fiennes says this round will help Electric Imp expand into more industrial arenas such as the smart grid or manufacturing, where it already has several undisclosed customers. Fiennes explains that it is testing a reference design for a Wi-Fi gateway that could be used inside a warehouse or office to track assets via a combo Bluetooth and Wi-Fi system — something that would be much cheaper than cellular.

The idea is that assets on a truck for example, might have a cheap Bluetooth tracker on them that are picked up by a BLE/Wi-Fi gateway inside a warehouse. When they enter the warehouse the assets are noted and that information is correlated at the next stop via the same system. I could see this being pretty useful in airports to track luggage making it onto a plane.

“Most people think of Bluetooth as a phone technology, and phones are people centric, but it doesn’t have to be,” says Fiennes. Electric Imp isn’t going to make a Bluetooth module, but it can make sense to combine the two technologies.

With the financing in hand, Fiennes estimates he won’t have to raise money for a few years and can focus on building the business. So far Electric Imp has found a lot of success catering to the lack of experience in trying to connect devices to the web, and I’m curious to see if it remains here or expands deeper into services as the market matures.

Ukrainian law would allow authorities to block websites, along with other media, The draft law was waved through its 1st reading in the Ukrainian parliament on Tuesday, raising fears of censorship without safeguards
http://gigaom.com/2014/08/13/ukrainian-law-would-allow-autho…

"Russia’s drive to censor and control the internet has been rightly condemned, but it’s worth noting that Ukraine – the neighbor with which Russia is involved in a tense standoff – has similar plans.

On Tuesday a new draft state security law passed its first reading in the Ukrainian parliament. It still has approval stages to clear, but it looks as if it’s on a fast track – the draft was only published four days previously, and there will apparently be no consultation with civil society.

The law covers a long list of sanctions that can be imposed to protect Ukraine’s national interests and security, including the blockage of TV and radio stations and the “restriction or termination” of media and business activities, “including on the internet,” without the need for a court order.

“The restriction or termination of telecommunications services and use of public telecommunications networks” is another option granted to the Ukrainian government by the law, as is the “prohibition of technology transfer [and] the rights to intellectual property rights.”

The sanctions can be imposed on both foreign and Ukrainian companies and people. It elicited condemnation from Reporters Without Borders, who called the measures “draconian” and warned against the ease with which they would allow the National Security and Defence Council (RNBO) to clamp down on free speech.

“This bill’s definitive adoption would represent a major setback for freedom of information in Ukraine,” Johann Bihr, chief of the Reporters Without Borders Eastern Europe and Central Asia desk, said in a statement.

“It gives the RNBO exorbitant powers to order the broadest forms of censorship on the basis of extremely vague criteria and with no safeguards… The major challenges that the Ukrainian authorities are facing and their legitimate concern to defend national security do not, under any circumstances justify such an attack on the constitutional right to freedom of expression.”

Meanwhile, Freedom House president David Kramer said civil society should get a say, and the Ukrainian parliament should “establish a strict legal framework that has the narrowest possible restrictions on the media and free expression and ensures effective judicial oversight.” "

The "future of content consumption, through the eyes of Yahoo Labs"; Yahoo has been rebuilding its research focus, +now a 250-person strong Yahoo Labs is trying to build the future of content. Full of experts in everything from personalization to deep learning, the group wants to make finding +consuming content as easy as possible - GO - Aug 12, 2014

- D. Harris -
http://gigaom.com/2014/08/12/the-future-of-content-consumpti…

"After years struggling through a public identity crisis it appears Yahoo has decided, for better or worse, that it’s a content company. There will be no Yahoo smartphones or operating systems, no Yahoo Fiber, and no Yahoo drones, robots or satellites. But that doesn’t mean the company can’t innovate.

When it comes to the future of web content, in fact — how we’ll find it, consume it and monetize it — Yahoo might just have the inside track on innovation. I spoke recently with Ron Brachman, the head of Yahoo Labs, who’s now managing a team of 250 (and growing) researchers around the world. They’re experts in fields such as computational advertising, personalization and human-computer interaction, and they’re all focused on the company’s driving mission of putting the right content in front of the right people at the right time.


Really, it’s all about machine learning

However, Yahoo Labs’ biggest focus appears to be on machine learning, a discipline that can easily touch nearly every part of a data-driven company like Yahoo. Labs now has a dedicated machine learning group based in New York; some are working on what Brachman calls “hardcore science and some theory ,” while others are building a platform that will open up machine learning capabilities across Yahoo’s employee base.

There’s also a related data science group, also in New York, that’s doing more applied research with product teams, “and we’ve hired machine learning scientists into almost every other group we have,” Brachman said. They’re working on everything from advertising to data centers, from social-graph analysis to network security.

But advertising is what pays the bills at Yahoo, and if there’s nobody to view the content, there’s nobody to see the ads . That’s why a lot of machine learning research is focused on making it easier for Yahoo’s users to get what they need. That means making images and videos as searchable as web pages, and making everything more searchable using natural language.



- An early example of SkyPhrase’s technology for answering natural language questions with sports statistics. -


And while Yahoo Labs has hired a large number of Ph.Ds. since Marissa Mayer became CEO, some of its talent in the content space has come about, fortuitously, from acquisitions made without any (or little) input from Brachman. One of Summly’s technical leaders, for example, joined Yahoo Labs after that acquisition and created a technology for summarizing multiple documents that Brachman says is integral to the Yahoo homepage. He said the SkyPhrase team, which Yahoo acquired in December 2013, is a natural fit into Yahoo Labs given its research background and its cutting-edge natural-language processing technology.

“We want people to be able to access Yahoo products from wherever they are, through whatever type of device they have,” Brachman said about the promise of NLP. It might be that users have vision problems, or aren’t in front of a screen but still need to know the answer to a question or track down a piece of content.

“I think in the longer-term future of Yahoo … natural language understanding is going to be very important,” he added.


Cranking up deep learning and artificial intelligence

Right now, though, when many people think of machine learning and the web, they’re thinking of computer vision. Whether it’s based on deep learning or some other set of techniques, everyone — Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Pinterest, Dropbox, Twitter — seems to be investing in figuring out hooow to make seeeeense of all visual content they have. And indeed, Brachman said, Yahoo Labs is “doing all kinds of cool stuff with Flickr and image search,” and is also working on ways of indexing and recommending videos.

He specifically called out work on computer vision algorithms that can determine what makes a good picture of a human — the right angles, right colors, etc. — and automatically curate search results to put the best images up top. Brachman’s team has also developed a method for producing video “thumbnails” so users can get a better sense of what they’re about and what they contain. Then, of course, there are object-recognition efforts, led largely by researcher Jia Li, to automatically tag Flickr images so users don’t need to know how they’re titled or tagged in order to actually find them.

“We’re doing some of that, as well,” Brachman said, referencing public claims by Google and Microsoft about the advances their deep learning research has had on the accuracy of image classification. However, he added, “We haven’t made a big public fuss about this like some of our colleagues out there have done.”



- Ron Brachman -


In fact, Bobby Jaros, the co-founder and CEO of LookFlow, a deep-learning-based computer vision startup Yahoo bought in October 2013, originally was embedded within the Flickr team but has joined Yahoo Labs in an effort to grow out a deep learning team. Presumably, that team will work on applying those techniques in areas beyond what Li is already researching in computer vision. Brachman cited advertising, recommendations, personalization and privacy as other areas where “neural-net-flavored deep learning will be a nice additional tool in our toolbox.”

He’s excited, but realistic, about what deep learning and other new approaches to artificial intelligence could mean to a company like Yahoo over the next few years. “Back in the earlier days … we were doing research that felt more speculative than it does now, in a way, because so much of artificial intelligence has become real,” Brachman said.

For example, when he created the DARPA framework that ultimately led SRI to develop Siri, he was skeptical that the work could be completed in five years, and now “Siri is in the pocket of some humongous number of people around the world,” he said. These successes have inspired the machine learning community as a whole, which is coming around on the idea of scaling up all sorts of approaches previously confined to laboratories. Stuff that was deemed futuristic 20 years ago is now legitimate, which is not something Brachman necessarily would have predicted.

“People are starting to entertain those things because they’ve seen artificial intelligence impact society and business,” Brachman said.

But it won’t all be smooth sailing as today’s researchers try to take today’s hot techniques to the next level. Brachman said there are still “huge advances” that need to happen before we have full-scale AI systems, starting with relatively simple things such as connecting the results of a deep learning algorithm to a knowledge graph for the sake of correcting the learning model’s mistakes. “No one knows how to do that,” he said.


Tying it altogether into a ubiquitous Yahoo

When everything comes together — everything Yahoo Labs is presently working on, and probably some stuff not yet on its plate — Brachman envisions a Yahoo that’s as ubiquitous as computers seem destined to be. Phones, watches, public terminals, brain implants — Yahoo wants to be able to deliver content to all of them. That probably means rethinking the inputs (e.g, typing, voice, and probably even video and location data) as well as what the applications actually look like and how users expect stuff to be delivered in any given situation to any given device.

“We really want to understand the human element of being mobile,” Brachman said. “If we ever build an integrated, useful Yahoo presence,” he added, “it needs to know about all these things.”

Of course, this being Yahoo, advertising will always play a role in how the company designs its future. Brachman said areas such as “advertising science” continue to be important, even though it has been years since Yahoo first claimed to have mastered the targeted ad. As devices and ad types evolve, design strategies and optimization algorithms need to evolve with them. One of Yahoo Labs’ bigger recent projects, for example, was a new advertising platform called Gemini that lets advertisers manage their mobile search and native advertising campaigns through a single system.

In the ubiquitous computing future Brachman predicts, Yahoo and its advertisers will have to figure out how to make ads something people actually desire. He points to current-day fashion and bridal magazines as media where people actually buy them for the ads. Others might point to a digital platform like Pinterest.

“What we need to think about at a deep conceptual level is ‘What is content? ’ ‘What are communications between humans? ’ ‘What is advertising?'” Brachman said. “… All in the abstract, all independent of how it gets to a person. ”


Update: This post was updated at 5:26 to correct the LookFlow co-founder who has joined Yahoo Labs. It is Bobby Jaros, not Simon Osindero. "

Report: "Next-gen power electronics "could" cut $6K from Tesla’s Model S", Can Tesla slash substantial costs from its cars by using 'tomorrow's semiconductors', beyond silicon? - GO Aug 12, 2014

- K. Fehrenbacher -
www.luxresearchinc.com/news-and-events/press-releases/read/s…
http://gigaom.com/2014/08/12/report-next-gen-power-electroni…

"While Tesla Motor execs are heads down developing a massive battery factory that can lower the cost of batteries for its cars, the analysts at Lux Research believe that Tesla can significantly lower car costs by turning to more efficient next-generation power electronics, beyond the standard use of silicon. Lux said that advanced, more efficient power electronics can reduce the energy used by the battery by 20 percent, which means the cars can use a smaller battery, and reduce overall cost of building a car by 8 percent, which would be $6,000 off the cost of the Model S.




These next-gen power electronics can be made from “wide bandgap semiconductors,” like silicon carbide and gallium nitride. These materials can operate at higher temperatures more efficiently, and Lux Research said in a report released Tuesday that silicon carbide, which is closer to market than gallium nitride, could displace silicon used in power electronics in electric vehicles by 2020.



- Graph courtesy of Lux Research. -


Are these materials being made in sufficient volumes to hit the projections of Tesla’s growth in its cars? The company wants to build 500,000 cars by 2020. Of course, this all depends on how quickly these markets can develop. But perhaps if Tesla became a substantial customer, it would push these markets for next-gen power electronics for electric cars.



- Tesla Model S, image courtesy of Tesla. -


Some startups and university researchers are trying to make gallium nitride and silicon carbide more economical. Transphorm is making power electronics devices from gallium nitride. The Department of Energy, through its ARPA-E program, awarded grants to projects using wide band gap semiconductors for power grid applications.

Other electric car makers like Nissan and GM, which are building cars with smaller, less powerful, batteries, might not see these same types of cost and energy savings with these power electronics. The energy savings would have to be greater than five percent to benefit the cars with smaller batteries, and it could be as low as two percent for a Tesla car. "

India notes importance of junior miners, to drive exploration - MW, KOLKATA - Aug 13, 2014

- Ajoy K Das -
www.miningweekly.com/article/india-notes-importance-of-junio…

"India has awoken to the need to allow junior miners to play a greater role in mineral exploration and drive much-needed foreign investments in the sector.


The Federation of Indian Mineral Industries (FIMI) has urged the government to frame a policy to promote junior exploration companies to attract foreign and domestic investment into the industry.

FIMI president Hukam Chand Daga said that mineral-rich countries like Canada, Australia, Brazil or Chile do not spend taxpayers’ money on mineral exploration which was fraught with risk.

These countries with highly developed mining industries encouraged junior miners to undertake exploration at their own cost and India should follow the model, Daga said.

He added that the Geological Survey of India, the country’s government-owned mineral explorer, should only be limited to areas where the private sector was averse to go.

In any resource-rich country, the principle of ‘first come, first served’ was cardinal in generating investors’ confidence in putting in money into exploration activities and Indian legislation should, therefore, ensure seamless transitions between prospecting/exploration to mineral concessions, Daga said.

On the contrary, in many cases the lessees have been deprived of mining licences or prospecting licences even after completion of a reconnaissance licence, FIMI observed.

It was pointed out that the share of juniors in mineral exploratory activities across the world had increased from 30% to 50% over the last decade.

According to data available from the Mines Ministry, in India where mineral exploration was the exclusive domain of the government, the absolute investments in exploration averaged Rs400/km2 or about $7/km2 at current exchange rate.

This paled in comparison to exploration investment of Rs22 000/km2, or $359/km2, in Chile, Rs5 310/km2, or $88/km2, in Canada, and Rs1 219/km2, or $20/km2, in Brazil, according to a comparative study of the Mines Ministry.

FIMI pointed out that exploration work in India was limited to depths of between 50 m and 100 m against 300 m in countries like Australia and one of the primary reasons for low exploration investment in the country.

The steady drip of new members to the AllSeen Alliance continues. Industrial sensor and consumer appliance maker Bosch, Cloud of Things, home hub maker Revolv and building management service Shaspa have joined the effort to promote the open source AllJoyn protocol as a standard for the internet of things. Adding Bosch is significant because it brings another large appliance brand to existing members LG, Sears and Panasonic, and the addition of Revolv is also interesting since the common thinking is a protocol like AllJoyn might one day replace hubs. For more on the Alliance, check out the recent podcast I did with Liat Ben-Zur, the head of the Alliance. "

Rush to Build African Infrastructure Brings Challenges aaaaand Opportunities - CT/3BLM - Aug 12, 2014
http://cleantechies.com/2014/08/12/rush-to-build-african-inf…

"According to the IMF, ten of the twenty fastest growing economies in the world are in Africa. These include the top three: São Tomé and Principe, South Sudan, and Guinea. Considering the fact that many of these are starting with very little in the way of development, these countries represent a tremendous opportunity, not only in terms of revenue potential, but also, given something resembling a clean sheet, a chance to truly get it right, from a sustainable development perspective.

Recognizing the opportunity, the Chinese have moved aggressively, establishing economic ties and quickly becoming Africa’s largest trading partner. In 2012, China’s trade with Africa reached $198.5 billion, twice that of the US.

Now the US wants to pick up its Africa game. Just this week, the US government announced commitments from American businesses to invest $14 billion in Africa. Coca-Cola alone has pledged $5 billion. Other companies coming to the table include Chevron, IBM, Mastercard, GE and Marriott.

The primitive level of African infrastructure will surely pose an obstacle to these development efforts. For example, two out of three people living in sub-Saharan Africa lack access to electricity. The number is even higher in rural areas. That’s over 600 million people. That is where the US has targeted its assistance through a program called Power Africa, which was announced in June 2013. The program is a collaboration of “African governments, the private sector, and other partners such as the World Bank and African Development Bank in six focus countries — Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria and Tanzania.” The goal is to install more than 10,000 megawatts (MW) of clean, renewable electric generation capacity.

As a recent Wall Street Journal article has pointed out, there will be challenges. Early investors took advantage of landowners, who were mostly poor farmers, creating distrust. Now farmers are refusing to move their farms to make way for wind farms.

Ethiopia’s first private power project—a geothermal plant—required an embedded adviser inside the government before it got done. Small solar projects in Tanzania required regulatory overhauls. Nigeria is seeing large-scale privatization of power plants, which is revealing the sorry state of its grid.

To some extent these kinds of barriers are fairly typical in a infrastructure overhaul of this magnitude. Barriers arise which must be addressed one at a time. But then, again, some of this might be a question of imposing a legacy vision on a future prospect where it might not be a perfect fit.

Is a large-scale grid infrastructure, created in the image of American and European cities really the right answer for Africa? Would a model based more on distributed generation possibly make more sense in a land with as many geographical and political challenges as Africa has. Why string hundreds of miles of power lines when the sun or the wind is often available right where it is needed?

Look at the telecommunications explosion in China and India, which combined now have over two billion cell phones. Most of those people have never heard of a land line and couldn’t imagine why anyone would go to the trouble to erect such things.

This is an opportunity to do things right. Sure there is lots of money to be made and developers are itching to get in there first. But perhaps we should take a minute to look before we leap.

'Engineering Fruit Flies May Help Crops' - ENN/UoEA - Aug 12, 2014
www.uea.ac.uk/mac/comm/media/press/2014/August/oxitec-flies
www.enn.com/top_stories/article/47698

"We've genetically-modified crops to enhance desired traits such as increased resistance to herbicides or pesticides. Nonetheless, pests still infest crops around the world.
In an attempt to control these pests, scientists have turned to genetically engineering the pests themselves!


According to scientists at the University of East Anglia and Oxitec Ltd., releasing genetically engineered fruit flies into the wild could prove to be a cheap, effective and environmentally friendly way of pest control.

Researches studied the Mediterranean fruit fly an agricultural pest which causes extensive damage to more than 300 types of crops. It is currently controlled by a combination of insecticides, baited traps, biological control and releasing sterilized insects to produce non-viable matings, known as the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT).

Lead researcher Dr Philip Leftwich, from UEA's school of Biological Sciences and Oxitec, said: "Of all of the current techniques used to control these flies, SIT is considered the most environmentally friendly as it uses sterile males to interrupt matings between wild males and females. The down side is that these males don’t tend to mate as well in the wild because the irradiation method used for sterilisation weakens them.

"Our research looked at whether releasing Oxitec flies, which are genetically engineered so that only male fly offspring survive, could provide a better alternative.

"The genetically engineered flies are not sterile, but they are only capable of producing male offspring after mating with local pest females - which rapidly reduces the number of crop-damaging females in the population. Using this method means that the males do not have to be sterilized by radiation before release, and we have shown they are healthier than the flies traditionally used for SIT."

"This method presents a cheap and effective alternative to irradiation. We believe this is a promising new tool to deal with insects which is both environmentally friendly and effective."

'Genetic elimination of field-cage populations of Mediterranean Fruit Flies' is published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B. "

Abakan Subsidiary Awarded $1.500.000 Loan, to 'Scale-Up PComP(TM) Production +Expand PComP(TM) Coating Services', MesoCoat's PComP™ product lines(cermets fabricated into a hierarchical structure, using a patented process to engineer particle sizes down to the nano-scale) "serve the thermal spray coating industry, which is currently a $10.000.000.000 industry globally, catering to the oil +gas, mining, aerospace +defense, automotive, infrastructure, heavy equipment, chemical, +processing industries." The PComP™ family of coatings is "positioned to replace the very expensive tungsten carbide coatings, +toxic electrolytic chrome plating"; PComP™ nanocomposite metal-ceramic coatings offer the wear +corrosion resistance of ceramic materials, such as diamond or glass, but with the toughness +resilience of metals. These nanocomposite coatings impart wear +corrosion resistance to metal surfaces +reduce friction in sliding wear applications. The PComP™ cermet coatings "are easy to apply +machine to tight tolerances for dimensional restoration of worn industrial components". The PComP™ family of coating materials "has been designed to act as a drop-in replacement, for competing thermal spray materials, that can be used in existing application systems based on a unique, patented coating microstructure, that combines the high hardness zones of a ductile metal in an optimal geometry." PComP™ coatings are "up to" 70% lighter than tungsten carbide(WC) coatings, +"up to" 40% lighter than the hard chrome alternative, due to the use of light +low-cost, nitride-based reinforcements; Mr. R. Miller: "Our PComP™ current powder production expansion plan is ramping up annual production to 18 tons, increasing sales to $240.000/month. The $1.500.000 loan "will assist MesoCoat to increase the scale up of PComP™ production, from 18 tons to 160 tons/year, increasing 'projected' powder sales revenues to $1.600.000/month +thermal spray revenues of $1.000.000/month, over the next few years". We " "anticipate" that the PComP™ production ramp up will result in an average annual growth rate of ~75% over three years, from our fiscal year end May '15 to May '18. PComP™ nanocomposite powder coatings "have shown impressive results in the three major aspects of performance, time, +value proposition of cost, versus life". Our PComP™ powders "have consistently demonstrated 3 to 8 times longer life for treated components, @lower life-cycle costs , which lead to reductions in downtime +losses ". We " "believe" that this is the right time to step-up our efforts, towards driving 'rapid' adoption of these breakthrough coatings " " - Feb 18, 2014

Abakan Subsidiary Receives $2.7500.000 From Canadian Agencies, to Establish 'Wear-Resistant Clad Pipe Facility'; MesoCoat "Will Collaborate With Northern Alberta Institute of Technology to Commercialize Wear-Resistant Clad Pipes +Components", Improvements in wear resistance are " "expected" to make a significant impact in reducing losses, due to maintenance +downtime, while increasing productivity in oil sands +other mining applications"; R. Miller: "Our "objective in Alberta is to fast-track the commercialization of our CermaClad™ long-life, wear-resistant clad pipes +components. "Once" our products are adopted in Alberta, we "anticipate" acceptance for mining applications around the globe. Currently, pipes have to be rotated every three to four months +are replaced every 12 to 15 months. We "intend" to increase the life of these pipes +components using, a combination of our advanced materials +high-speed large-area coating technology". The oil majors that mine the oil sands in Alberta have primarily been using the same two coating materials for the past forty years, tungsten-carbide +chrome-carbide, to protect their hydro-transport pipe. Our wear-resistant clad products "have shown two to four times improvement in wear +corrosion resistance in laboratory tests, compared to weld overlays currently in use, @costs that are lower than currently available alternatives". Producers "are looking to extend the life of carbon steel transport pipes with harder, tougher coatings, that protect them from the abrasiveness +high acidity of the tar-like bituminous oil sands. CermaClad wear-resistant clad products, that will be developed through this collaborative effort with NAIT, can provide that economically viable, long-term solution" - Mar 11, 2014

Abakan Introduces 'Disruptive Materials' for 'Billion Dollar Metal Processing Equipment Market', with a "leading steel producer"; has completed initial field-testing, on full-sized production equipment, of its 'proprietary nanocomposite liquid metal corrosion-resistant coating', PComP™ M, with a 'leading steel producer'. The company is also working with "several of the world’s largest steel companies", to validate component life extension on zinc pot rolls used extensively in the continuous hot dip galvanizing process, as well as other components used in the handling +processing of molten metals; C. Goss: “PComP™ M was developed to extend the useful life of zinc pot rolls +other components exposed to liquid metal. PComP™ M "has demonstrated vastly improved molten metal corrosion resistance, combined with increased durability +reliability in the rapidly changing temperature environment encountered in molten metal contact, as compared to conventional materials". Based on demonstrated useful life improvement obtained in laboratory tests, we 'believe' PcomP™ M can provide 'significant cost savings' to our industrial customers, while generating a 'handsome new revenue stream'. We 'expect' to receive additional orders within the next 90 days. Our PComP™ M coating is comparable to Teflon™* for non-stick cookware. We protect the base metal, including rolls used in galvanizing +aluminizing lines, die casting molds +in several other similar applications, that involve molten metal. PComP™ M coatings "ensure that the molten metal does not damage or degrade the rolls, molds, +other components, that are exposed to liquid metals during the galvanizing, +other molten metal handling process". Metals also do not adhere to the coated parts, reducing clean-up time. PcomP™ M " 'significantly' extends the useful life of these components, leading to 'considerable cost savings' through reduction of early replacement, refurbishment, recoating, +maintenance expenses. Extended component life also results in 'tremendous savings' in energy consumption, while reducing production losses. The "economics are 'very simple'. In >3.000 hours of simulated testing, PComP™ M coatings have extended useful component life by 6 to 10 times, compared to the 'current state of the art coatings', under similar test environments. For costs comparable to those of current coatings methods, eeeeeven @only a two times increase in useful life, our PComP™ M coatings 'could' save galvanizers millions of dollars/year .” - Aug 7, 2014

ATHOS - Raises $12.200.000 in Series B Funding, to Bring 'Next Generation Sensors' +Performance Apparel to the Masses - Aug 13, 2014
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/08/12/athos-rais…

"ATHOS, a leading innovator in next generation wearable sensors and performance apparel, announced today that it has closed $12.2 million in Series B financing. The round was led by DCM, with participation from True Ventures, Managing Partner and Chairman of the Golden State Warriors Joe Lacob, NBA All-Star Jermaine O’Neal and existing investor, The Social+Capital Partnership.

ATHOS will use the investment to further commercialize its product and invest in scaling manufacturing and marketing efforts. Available this fall, it is the first fitness apparel line able to collect and analyze muscle activity and effort, as well as heart and breathing rates – giving people a real-time picture of their workout performance.

Along with premier investors, ATHOS has also signed agreements with two Tier 1 manufacturers including a multi-billion dollar garment manufacturer whose biggest clients include some of the best-known sportswear companies. as well as one of the leading hardware manufacturers in the world. Together with ATHOS, these manufacturers have developed a revolutionary manufacturing process to create high-quality sensors integrated into clothing in a way that has neeeeever been done before.

“As we think about the future of the fitness and apparel industry, no one has successfully cracked the ability to measure total body behavior including muscle movement, and then translated that into actionable insight,” said Pete Moran, General Partner, DCM. “ATHOS is breaking new ground in this arena, and soon, this kind of intelligence will be the ‘new normal’ in a consumer’s mind.”

Designed to be not only functional but also comfortable and stylish, the new ATHOS apparel line uses small sensors that are neatly built into compression clothing and communicate directly with a consumer’s smartphone to give the wearer real-time feedback on their workout.

“ATHOS’ unique performance apparel is completely changing the way we train the human body,” said Joe Lacob, Managing Partner and Chairman, Golden State Warriors. “Whether you are a professional athlete or just aspiring to be in better shape, accurate and visual data can boost your training and make your training more effective. With ATHOS, we will have a complete view of the body in action – muscle movement, effort, calories burned, heart rate target zones and more – giving athletes instantaneous insight without disrupting their workouts.”

Today’s announcement comes at a time when consumer interest in sports and fitness apparel is growing worldwide. According to Boston-based research firm Trefis, the global sports apparel market is set to grow to $178 billion by 2019.

“ATHOS’ entrance into the market couldn’t come at a better time,” said, Puneet Agarwal, Partner, True Ventures, who was also an early investor in FitBit. “ATHOS is positioned to transcend the fitness and apparel industry – an industry that is seeing more interest in all kinds of devices and clothing designed to help people stay fit and improve performance. We couldn’t be more pleased to partner with ATHOS and help it bring this innovation to the masses.”

“As someone who has performed at the highest levels of the NBA for more than 17 years, I can attest to how important training is,” said six-time NBA All-Star Jermaine O’Neal. “When I saw ATHOS for the first time, my immediate thought was how much more longevity it can give athletes by allowing us to train smarter and prevent injury through a better understanding and fine tuning of our bodies.”

Started in 2010 by co-founders Dhananja Jayalath, Christopher Wiebe and Chamath Palihapitiya, the core of ATHOS’ technology was borne from an advanced engineering project at the University of Waterloo. The technology incorporates electromyography, or EMG, one of the most effective ways of tracking muscles. Benefits of EMG technology had been previously reserved to top performance institutes. ATHOS is the first to bring this technology mainstream by invisibly embedding muscle-tracking sensors into comfortable, stylish performance apparel. ATHOS is unique in that it contains the electronics and intelligence that enable the collection and interpretation of biosignals, sending it all to the user’s mobile device via Bluetooth.

“We’ve spent the past few years perfecting this technology and making the gear seamless, comfortable and durable,” said Dhananja Jayalath, CEO and Co-Founder of ATHOS. “And now, with backing from two experienced investors, plus the support of Golden State Warriors’ owner Joe Lacob and top athletes such as Jermaine O’Neal, we are excited to continue our journey to transform the fitness industry worldwide.”

“It’s great to see such high caliber investors who also realize the potential of this product,” said Chamath Palihapitiya, Founder and Managing Partner of The Social+Capital Partnership and Co-Founder and Chairman of ATHOS. “ATHOS is truly a revolutionary way to use technology to measure one’s body and then act on that information in a useful way.”

The new funding brings the total amount raised-to-date to $16 million. As part of the deal, Pete Moran, General Partner at DCM, and Joe Lacob have joined ATHOS’ board of directors.

Products will begin shipping in fall 2014, and pre-orders can be reserved here.

"How to play the ‘made in America’ fuel sector(T.WPT)" - SH - Jul 15, 2014

- Frank Curzio -
www.stockhouse.com/opinion/independent-reports/2014/07/14/ho…

"On Tuesday (last week), an event took place that added momentum to the massive rollout of "Made in America" fuel...

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F, Stock Forum) announced it will begin offering compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel systems for one of the country's best-selling trucks – its F-150 pickup. It will be the first half-ton pick-up truck capable of running on natural gas.


For years, I've been telling readers how the low price and abundance of natural gas will help it become a major transportation fuel. The massive cost savings has led industry giants like Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE: WMT, Stock Forum), Fed-Ex Corp. (NYSE: FDX, Stock Forum), United Parcel Service Inc. (NYSE: UPS, Stock Forum), Waste Management Inc. (NYSE: WM, Stock Forum), Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO, Stock Forum), and AT&T (NYSE: T, Stock Forum) to switch their trucking fleets from diesel to natural gas

But natural gas isn't just replacing diesel as a fuel anymore. It's beginning to replace gasoline. Drivers are craving it. And it could lead to huge gains for the companies that can take advantage of it.

Many of Ford's pickup truck customers are oil and natural gas companies. I saw some of them on my recent trips to the Eagle Ford and Cline shales in Texas and to the Bakken Shale in North Dakota.

I saw pickup trucks everywhere. In Williston, North Dakota, oil-services giant Halliburton owns a huge apartment complex built specifically for its employees. Almost every driveway has a pickup truck parked in it with a Halliburton logo.

These businesses told Ford they wanted the F-150 to run on natural gas. The natural-gas option could cost customers an additional $10,000. But if they choose it, truck buyers would save 42% per gallon of fuel at current prices. (The average U.S. price for CNG equals $2.11 a gallon compared to $3.66 for regular gasoline.)

Plus, oil and gas companies in these shale regions already have the infrastructure (and the fuel) on site. In other words, they can save millions of dollars by not having to build costly natural gas fueling stations.

The F-150 is the latest addition to Ford's lineup of natural-gas-fueled vehicles. This year, the company expects to sell more than 15,000 such vehicles, 29% more than it sold in 2012. But it's still a very small percentage of the company's total sales. The country's second-largest automaker sold 2 million vehicles in total last year.

My top way to invest in this trend is to buy the "nuts and bolts" companies that supply the natural gas fuel system components to automakers like Ford... companies like Westport Innovations Inc. (TSX: T.WPT, Stock Forum).

Westport (WPRT) is a familiar name to regular readers. The company makes the technology that allows engines to run on natural gas. My Small Stock Specialist readers have made money in the stock twice... We closed out of our first position last April for a 116% gain in 16 months. And we closed out of our second position last September for a 49% in less than four months.

I recommended the stock for a third time in May. So far, my subscribers are up nearly 20%.

In April, I visited Westport's headquarters. They let me ride in an F-250 pickup that was powered by natural gas and their technology. The ride was incredibly smooth. And these trucks were powerful. In other words, oil and natural gas companies are not looking to sacrifice quality for price.

Westport's technology is now being featured in the F-150s as well. This is not surprising based on what Demers told me three months ago. He said, "Most of our competitors are just starting to break ground in the industry. We've moved well past that. Our job now is trying to find the right applications for clients over the long haul."

That explains why the stock has underperformed the market over the past 12 months. Westport has been burning cash to improve its technology and provide new engines for every vehicle class, including heavy duty trucks, buses, garbage trucks, and pickup trucks.

I believe Westport has enormous upside potential from these levels. The company has 326 natural-gas-engine-related patents. This is by far the most of any company in the entire industry. Toyota holds the second-most patents (226) and Caterpillar comes in at No. 3 (181).

More importantly, Westport and its partners have filed over 700 patent applications for natural-gas-engine-related inventions. It's next-to-impossible for a competitor to build a natural gas engine without infringing on at least one of Westport's patents.

The company is also targeting other markets that use diesel for fuel... including locomotives, ferry boats, and cell-phone-tower operators.

My advice is to scale-in to Westport. That means buy small lots of the stock over the next few months instead of taking a full position today. You also have a rare opportunity to buy this stock on sale. Shares pulled back after the company reported weaker-than-expected financial results last night.

Long term, Westport has huge upside potential. But shares could be volatile for at least another quarter or two as the company rolls out its new products over the next six to 12 months. "

To bolster lithium battery life, add a little salt - NW/CU/NM, CORNELL - Aug 14, 2014
www.nature.com/nmat/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nmat4041.html
www.nanowerk.com/nanotechnology-news/newsid=36931.php

"Cornell chemical engineers have achieved a breakthrough in the race to achieve safer, longer-lasting batteries to power the world’s automobiles, cell phones, computers and autonomous robots.


Adding certain halide salts to liquid electrolytes spontaneously creates nanostructured surface coatings on a lithium battery anode that hinder the development of detrimental dendritic structures that grow within the battery cell. The discovery opens the way potentially to extend the daily cycle life of a rechargeable lithium battery by up to a factor of 10.

The so-called dendrite problem has been troubling lithium battery technology for years. Over several charge/discharge cycles, microscopic particles called dendrites form on the electrode surface and spread, causing short circuits and rapid overheating.

“We had conflicting insight from two theories under development in the group and by theorists in the Cornell physics department, which suggested that a nanostructured metal halide coating on the anode could help a little – or a lot – in controlling the formation of dendrites. As it turns out, they work spectacularly well in solving what is widely considered a grand-challenge problem in the field,” said Lynden Archer, the William C. Hooey Director and Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.

Archer is senior author on the paper, “Stable Lithium Electrodeposition in Liquid and Nanoporous Solid Electrolytes”, published in Nature Materials on Aug. 10. The other authors are Cornell graduate students Yingying Lu in chemical and biomolecular engineering and Zhengyuan Tu in materials science and engineering.

Rechargeable lithium-based batteries are among the most versatile platforms for high-energy, cost-effective electrochemical energy storage. Consumers use these batteries every day for computers, cell phones, tablets and automobiles.

Computer makers and car manufacturers (who are striving for better batteries in electric cars) have battled metal deposition and dendrite formation on the anodes during repeated charge/discharge cycles, particularly at high rates and low temperature. A common theme that frames these efforts is that dendrites are an inherent challenge for all batteries based on lithium, sodium, aluminum and other metals, and can at best only be managed through careful design of the electrolyte and battery operating condition.

The Cornell team had a different idea. They went to “density functional theory” and “continuum analysis” – forms of chemical modeling – to examine the stability of metal electrodeposition for answers. This effort led to the conclusion that infusing simple liquid electrolytes reinforced with halogenated salt blends in a nanoporous host material holds the long-sought solution. The result: Lithium metal based batteries that exhibit stable long-term charge/recharge cycling at room temperature, with no symptoms of instability over hundreds of cycles and thousands of operating hours, the researchers reported.

Improving the efficiency of lithium in batteries couldn’t be happening at a better time; demand for the metal is expected to boom. Early in 2014, Tesla Motors, which makes a fully electric car, announced it would build a lithium battery “gigafactory.”

Concurrently, Archer says, safer batteries will also result. Dendritic structures not only lead to safety challenges through the internal shorts they can cause over time, which may lead to overheating, but they also lower a battery’s efficiency.

Archer and his team have spent two years conducting this research, which was supported by the Energy Materials Center at Cornell, an Energy Frontier Research Center funded by the U.S. Department of Energy.

Copper nanofoam turns CO2, into useful chemicals - NW/ACSC/BU/NSF - Aug 12, 2014
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/cs500522g
www.nanowerk.com/nanotechnology-news/newsid=36904.php

" A catalyst made from a foamy form of copper has vastly different electrochemical properties from catalysts made with smooth copper in reactions involving carbon dioxide, a new study shows. The research, by scientists in Brown University’s Center for the Capture and Conversion of CO2, suggests that copper foams could provide a new way of converting excess CO2 into useful industrial chemicals.

The research is published in the journal ACS Catalysis ("Electrochemical Reduction of CO2 at Copper Nanofoams").

As levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere continue to rise, researchers are looking for ways to make use of it. One approach is to capture CO2 emitted from power plants and other facilities and use it as a carbon source to make industrial chemicals, most of which are currently made from fossil fuels. The problem is that CO2 is extremely stable, and reducing it to a reactive and useful form isn’t easy.

“Copper has been studied for a long time as an electrocatalyst for CO2 reduction, and it’s the only metal shown to be able to reduce CO2 to useful hydrocarbons,” said Tayhas Palmore, professor of engineering and senior author of the new research. “There was some indication that if you roughen the surface of planar copper, it would create more active sites for reactions with CO2.”

Copper foam, which has been developed only in the last few years, provided the surface roughness that Palmore and her colleagues were looking for. The foams are made by depositing copper on a surface in the presence of hydrogen and a strong electric current. Hydrogen bubbles cause the copper to be deposited in an arrangement of sponge-like pores and channels of varying sizes.

After depositing copper foams on an electrode, the researchers set up experiments to see what kinds of products would be produced in an electrochemical reaction with CO2 in water. The experiments were performed by Sujat Sen and Dan Liu, graduate students in chemistry working in Palmore’s lab at Brown’s School of Engineering.

The experiments showed that the copper foam converted CO2 into formic acid — a compound often used as a feedstock for microbes that produce biofuels — at a much greater efficiency than planar copper. The reaction also produced small amounts of propylene, a useful hydrocarbon that’s never been reported before in reactions involving copper.

“The product distribution was unique and very different from what had been reported with planar electrodes, which was a surprise,” Palmore said. “We’ve identified another parameter to consider in the electroreduction of CO2. It’s not just the kind of metal that’s responsible for the direction this chemistry goes, but also the architecture of the catalyst.”

Now that it’s clear that architecture matters, Palmore and her colleagues are working to see what happens when that architecture is tweaked. It’s likely, she says, that pores of different depths or diameters will produce different compounds from a CO2 feedstock. Ultimately, it might be possible to tune the copper foam toward a specific desired compound.
Palmore said she’s amazed by the fact that there’s still more to be learned about copper.

“People have studied electrocatalysis with copper for a couple decades now,” she said. “It’s remarkable that we can still make alterations to it that affect what’s produced.”

The work in the study is part of a larger effort by Brown’s Center for the Capture and Conversion of CO2. The Center, funded by the National Science Foundation, is exploring a variety of catalysts that can convert CO2 into usable forms of carbon.

“The goal is to find ways to produce some of the world's largest-volume chemicals from a sustainable carbon source that the Earth not only has in excess but urgently needs to reduce,” said Palmore, who leads the center. “This is a way for us as scientists to begin thinking of how we produce industrial chemicals in more sustainable ways and control costs at the same time. The cost of commodity chemicals is going nowhere but up as long as production is dependent on fossil fuels.”

" Materials scientists have long sought to form glass from pure, monoatomic metals. Scott X. Mao and colleagues diiiiid it.

Their paper, "Formation of monatomic metallic glasses through ultrafast liquid quenching", was recently published online in Nature, a leading science journal.

Mao, William, Kepler Whiteford Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science at the University of Pittsburgh, says, "This is a fundamental issue explored by people in this field for a long time, but noooooooooobody could solve the problem. People believed that it could be done, and noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow we're able to show that it is possible."

Metallic glasses are unique in that their structure is not crystalline (as it is in most metals), but rather is disordered, with the atoms randomly arranged. They are sought for various commercial applications because they are very strong and are easily processed.

Mao's novel method of creating metallic glass involved developing and implementing a new technique (a cooling nano-device under in-situ transmission electron microscope) that enabled him and his colleagues to achieve an unprecedentedly high cooling rate that allowed for the transformation of liquefied elemental metals tantalum and vanadium into glass.

"Nanoimprinted, bioinspired ultrahigh water pinning nanostructures" - NW/A*S - Aug 13, 2014

"A*STAR researchers have used nanoimprinting methods to make patterned polymeric films with surface topography inspired by that of a rose petal, producing a range of transparent films with high water pinning forces ("Bioinspired Ultrahigh Water Pinning Nanostructures").

A surface to which a water droplet adheres, even when it is turned upside down, is described as having strong water pinning characteristics. A rose petal and a lotus leaf are both superhydrophobic, yet dissimilarities in their water pinning properties cause a water droplet to stick to a rose petal but roll off a lotus leaf. The two leaf types differ in their micro- and nanoscale surface topography and it is these topographical details that alter the water pinning force. The rose petal has almost uniformly distributed, conical-shaped microscale protrusions with nanoscale folds on these protrusions, while the lotus leaf has randomly distributed microscale protrusions.

The imprinted surfaces developed by Jaslyn Law and colleagues at the A*STAR Institute of Materials Research and Engineering and the Singapore University of Technology and Design have uniformly distributed patterns of nanoscale protrusions that are either conical or parabolic in shape. The researchers found that the water pinning forces on these continuously patterned surfaces were much greater than on non-patterned surfaces and surfaces composed of isolated nanopillared structures or nanoscale gratings. They could then achieve high water pinning forces by patterning the nanoprotrusions onto polymeric films with a range of different non-patterned hydrophobicities, including polycarbonate, poly(methyl methacrylate) and polydimethylsiloxane (see image).

“Other methods that recreate the water pinning effect have used actual rose petals as the mold, but unless special care is taken, there are likely to be defects and inconsistencies in the recreated pattern,” says co-author Andrew Ng. “While bottom-up approaches for making patterns — for example, laser ablation, liquid flame spray or chemical vapor deposition — are more consistent, these methods are limited in the types of patterns that can be used and the scale at which a substrate can be patterned.”

In contrast, nanoimprinting methods are capable of fabricating versatile and large-scale surfaces, and can be combined with roll-to-roll techniques, hence potentially enabling more commercial applications.

The patterned polycarbonate surfaces were also shown to reduce the ‘coffee-ring’ effect: the unevenly deposited film left behind upon the evaporation of a solute-laden droplet. This mitigation of the coffee-ring effect may assist microfluidic technologies and, more generally, the patterned surfaces could be used in arid regions for dew collection or in anti-drip applications such as in greenhouses.

Making 'eco-friendly 'pre-fab' nanoparticles' - NW/NL/UoMA/EFRC/DoE, MASSACHUSSETTS - Aug 12, 2014http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/nl502209s" target="_blank" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">

"A team of materials chemists, polymer scientists, device physicists and others at the University of Massachusetts Amherst today report a breakthrough technique for controlling molecular assembly of nanoparticles over multiple length scales that should allow faster, cheaper, more ecologically friendly manufacture of organic photovoltaics and other electronic devices. Details are in the current issue of Nano Letters ("Multiscale Active Layer Morphologies for Organic Photovoltaics Through Self-Assembly of Nanospheres").



- Postdoctoral research associate Monojit Bag (left) and graduate student Tim Gehan (right) synthesize polymer nanoparticles for use in organic-based solar cells being made at the UMass Amherst-based energy center. Deep purple nanoparticles are forming in the small glass container above Gehan’s left hand. -


Lead investigator, chemist Dhandapani Venkataraman, points out that the new techniques successfully address two major goals for device manufacture: controlling molecular assembly and avoiding toxic solvents like chlorobenzene. “Now we have a rational way of controlling this assembly in a water-based system,” he says. “It’s a completely new way to look at problems. With this technique we can force it into the exact structure that you want.”

Materials chemist Paul Lahti, co-director with Thomas Russell of UMass Amherst’s Energy Frontiers Research Center (EFRC) supported by the U.S. Department of Energy, says, “One of the big implications of this work is that it goes well beyond organic photovoltaics or solar cells, where this advance is being applied right now. Looking at the bigger picture, this technique offers a very promising, flexible and ecologically friendly new approach to assembling materials to make device structures.”

Lahti likens the UMass Amherst team’s advance in materials science to the kind of benefits the construction industry saw with prefabricated building units. “This strategy is right along that general philosophical line,” he says. “Our group discovered a way to use sphere packing to get all sorts of materials to behave themselves in a water solution before they are sprayed onto surfaces in thin layers and assembled into a module. We are pre-assembling some basic building blocks with a few predictable characteristics, which are then available to build your complex device.”

“Somebody still has to hook it up and fit it out the way they want,” Lahti adds. “It’s not finished, but many parts are pre-assembled. And you can order characteristics that you need, for example, a certain electron flow direction or strength. All the modules can be tuned to have the ability to provide electron availability in a certain way. The availability can be adjusted, and we’ve shown that it works.”

The new method should reduce the time nano manufacturing firms spend in trial-and-error searches for materials to make electronic devices such as solar cells, organic transistors and organic light-emitting diodes. “The old way can take years,” Lahti says.

“Another of our main objectives is to make something that can be scaled up from nano- to mesoscale, and our method does that. It is also much more ecologically friendly because we use water instead of dangerous solvents in the process,” he adds.

For photovoltaics, Venkataraman points out, “The next thing is to make devices with other polymers coming along, to increase power conversion efficiency and to make them on flexible substrates. In this paper we worked on glass, but we want to translate to flexible materials and produce roll-to-roll manufactured materials with water. We expect to actually get much greater efficiency.” He suggests that reaching 5 percent power conversion efficiency would justify the investment for making small, flexible solar panels to power devices such as smart phones.

If the average smart phone uses 5 watts of power and all 307 million United States users switched from batteries to flexible solar, it could save more than 1500 megawatts per year. “That’s nearly the output of a nuclear power station,” Venkataraman says, “and it’s more dramatic when you consider that coal-fired power plants generate 1 megawatt and release 2,250 lbs. of carbon dioxide. So if a fraction of the 6.6 billion mobile phone users globally changed to solar, it would reduce our carbon footprint a lot.”

Doctoral student and first author Tim Gehan says that organic solar cells made in this way can be semi-transparent, as well, “so you could replace tinted windows in a skyscraper and have them all producing electricity during the day when it’s needed. And processing is much cheaper and cleaner with our cells than in traditional methods.”

Venkataraman credits organic materials chemist Gehan, with postdoctoral fellow and device physicist Monojit Bag, with making “crucial observations” and using “persistent detective work” to get past various roadblocks in the experiments. “These two were outstanding in helping this story move ahead,” he notes. For their part, Gehan and Bag say they got critical help from the Amherst Fire Department, which loaned them an infrared camera to pinpoint some problem hot spots on a device.

It was Bag who put similar sized and charged nanoparticles together to form a building block, then used an artist’s airbrush to spray layers of electrical circuits atop each other to create a solar-powered device. He says, “Here we pre-formed structures at nanoscale so they will form a known structure assembled at the meso scale, from which you can make a device. Before, you just hoped your two components in solution would form the right mesostructure, but with this technique we can direct it to that end.”

'Lithium-doped graphene' "approaches the limits of transparency +conductivity" - NW/MU/UoM/NC, MARYLAND - Jul 24, 2014
www.nature.com/ncomms/2014/140701/ncomms5224/full/ncomms5224…

"Transparent conductive coatings pervade modern technology. They are a critical component of optoelectronic devices such as smartphone and tablet displays as well as solar cells. The most widely used standard coating is indium tin oxide (ITO), although the use of carbon nanomaterials – carbon nanotubes and graphene – is on the rise.

The search for novel transparent electrode materials with good stability, high transparency and excellent conductivity is driven by the required trade-off between transparency and conductivity: Metals are very conductive but not transparent; plastics are quite transparent but not conductive. However, many optoelectronic applications ideally require electrodes with both, high transparency and high conductivity.

In new work, researchers now have simultaneously increased the conductivity and transparency of ultra thin graphite – ranging from 3-60 graphene layers in thickness – by lithium intercalation, and have achieved the highest combined performance of sheet resistance and transmittance so far reported among all continuous thin-films.

The researchers designed a methodology via a planar nanobattery that allowed them to conduct in situ studies of the electrical and optical properties of few-layer graphene sheets during electrochemical intercalation and deintercalation of lithium.

"We doped few-layer graphene by inserting lithium in between the graphene layers," Jiayu Wan, a PhD student in Liangbing Hu's research group at the University of Maryland, tells Nanowerk. "As a result of this electrochemical intercalation, the Fermi level is upshifted by the doping effect, resulting in a more transparent and conductive material."

Wan, together with Wenzhong Bao, is first author of a paper published in the July 1, 2014 online edition of Nature Communications ("Approaching the limits of transparency and conductivity in graphitic materials through lithium intercalation"). Hu's team collaborated with the research group of Michael Fuhrer at Monash University.

In previous studies, researchers already tried to achieve a combined increase of both transmittance and conductivity. Some of the best results have been achieved by acid doping and FeCl3 intercalation (see for instance: "Novel Highly Conductive and Transparent Graphene-Based Conductors").

"However, these previous doping/intercalation efforts just increased the conductivity compared to pristine few-layer graphene; the transmittance in the visible range at best stayed unchanged or even decreased," notes Wan.
Hu points out that, due to the unusual band structure of graphene, lithium intercalation can simultaneously increase the DC electrical conductivity and increase optical transmission in the visible, allowing Li-intercalated few-layer graphene to achieve an unprecedented Figure of Merit σdc/σopt = 920, significantly higher than any other material and approaching the ultimate limit expected for doped graphene systems.

As the lithium intercalated graphene material is not very stable in air, the team improved the stability of the intercalation compound with an air-tight sealing.

"In addition to elucidating the limits of conductivity and transparency in ultrathin graphite, we expect that the experimental techniques developed here will be broadly useful for studying the intercalation dynamics and correlated optoelectronic properties of other 2D nanomaterials that can be intercalated electrochemically," concludes Hu.

Self-assembly machines -"a vision for the future of manufacturing" - NW/AM - Jul 10, 2014
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adma.201401573/ab…

"Industrial production processes, by and large, rely on robotic assembly lines that place, package, and connect a variety of disparate components. While the manufacturing world is dominated by robots, there are applications where the established processes of serial 'pick and place' and manipulation of single objects reach scaling limits in terms of throughput, alignment precision, and the minimal component dimension they can handle effectively.
By contrast, the emerging methods of engineered self-assembly are massively parallel and have the potential to overcome these scaling limitations.

"So far researchers have focused on small area proof-of-concept demonstrations testing new self-assembly concepts – for example testing a different driving force, agitation, or component handling mechanism – inside a small container to define the environment where self-assembly takes place," Heiko Jacobs, a professor at Technische Universität Ilmenau and Chair of the university's Nanotechnology Group, tells Nanowerk. "Over the past 10 years, tremendous knowledge has been gained. However for many observers it leaves out the proof that any of the processes can be scaled to enable high volume production of real devices and products as promised at the outset."

"Personally, I am convinced that this is possible and we are now at a stage where we have gained sufficient experience that will allow us to put the knowledge together to begin building 'self-assembly machines' which provides a deep motivation to go forward," he continues.

In a paper in the June 27, 2014 online edition of Advanced Materials ("A First Implementation of an Automated Reel-to-Reel Fluidic Self-Assembly Machine"), Jacobs's team together with researchers from the University of Minnesota, describe the first example of a device to assemble and distribute LEDs over large areas for solid state lighting applications.

It provides the blueprints and operational parameters of a reel-to-reel (RTR) fluidic self-assembly platform to assemble and electrically connect semiconductor chips with a yield clearly exceeding a 99% benchmark set by robotic pick and place machines.



- Automated RTR fluidic self-assembly scheme. (A) Overview depicting (i) component dispensing on the basis of liquid flow and gravity which transports the components to empty self-assembly sites (receptors) on a continuously advancing web, (ii) where the components attach at predetermined locations on the basis of surface tension directed self-assembly, and (iii) where recycling of access components is achieved on the basis of gravity at the turning point of the web before they are transported upward on the basis of a fluid drag inside a sufficiently small diameter channel. Mechanical up and down motion of the web is used to induce liquid flow and shear forces to dispense and agitate the components as well as to aid in the removal of access component in the region of the upside-down oriented web. (B) Schematic depicting the details of surface tension directed self-assembly using molten-solder-bump-based receptors to capture and connect to the metal contacts on the chips. (C) A jet pump based principle is used to achieve recirculation of the chips without passing the components through a mechanical pump where they would get damaged. A preferred location of the jet pump is at the bottom of the slanted funnel where access components arrive on the basis of gravity to be picked up by a high velocity directional jet. (Reprinted with permission by Wiley-VCH Verlag) (click on image to enlarge) -


This machine is based on surface-tension-directed self-assembly. As the team points out, their assembly process is no longer a discontinuous small-batch hand-operated process but resembles an automated machine like process involving a conveyer belt and a RTR type assembly approach with automated agitation.

The researchers' current design achieves 15,000 chips per hour using a 2.5 cm wide assembly region. Jacobs notes that scaling to 150,000 chips per hour would be possible using a 25 cm wide web, which would be a factor of 20 better than one of the faster chip pick-and-place machines in use today in the semiconductor industry.

"In principle, scaling to aaaaaaaany throughput should be possible, considering the parallel nature of self-assembly and the fact that there is no requirement for any pick and place operations," he says. "This means that it is fairly straight forward to scale this technology to aaaaaaaaaaaaaany desired assembly rate, by increasing the substrate width and number of nozzles."

Under optimized operational conditions, the group achieved an assembly yield of 99.8% using their self-assembly process.

The team says that their approach can be extended using shape recognition concepts to enable unique angular alignment and contact pad registration or using sequential batch assembly processes to assemble more than one component type on the substrate if desired. Moreover, it is possible to transfer the chip onto other flexible or stretchable substrates.

As a demonstration, the researchers applied their self-assembly machine to the realization of area lighting panels incorporating distributed inorganic light emitting diodes (GaN LEDs). The lighting modules are fabricated in three steps: 1) assembly of LEDs on the bottom electrode using the RTR system; 2) isolation and passivation of assembled LEDs with UV curable polymer; and 3) lamination of top conductive layer to complete the electrical connections (see figure below).

(C) Application as lighting panel (left, top), backlighting unit (left, bottom), and area illumination unit (right). (Reprinted with permission by Wiley-VCH Verlag) (click on image to enlarge) -


Although this is still basic research, Jacobs and his collaborators have set their eyes on the development of industrial-scale 'self-assembly machines' which would allow the assembly and electrical interconnection of semiconductor chips over wide area substrates in large quantities with high speed and high precision.

"I am convinced that processes of self-assembly will eventually be used in the manufacturing industry of the future," says Jacobs. "Today it might appear as science-fiction to some critical observers. However, researchers worldwide including my group continue to work out the details."

" It seems that computer memory technology is coming full circle. Pioneers in the early 19th century, such as Charles Babbage, first proposed the use of paper memory (albeit non-electronic), where a bit was stored as the presence or absence of a hole in a paper card. State-of-the-art research today again is proposing the use of paper as memory devices. This time, although he paper may be very similar, the bits are not crudely punched holes but nanofabricated device structures.

Traditionally, electronic devices are mainly manufactured by photolithography, vacuum deposition, and electroless plating processes. In contrast to these multi-staged, expensive, and wasteful methods, inkjet printing offers a rapid and cheap way of printing electrical circuits with commodity inkjet printers and off-the-shelf materials (Read more: "Conductive nanomaterials for printed electronics applications").

Although transparent plastic substrates are widely explored for flexible electronics (read more: "The rise of flexible electronics"), they have intrinsic problems: Most of them are not thermally stable; are not based on green – i.e. renewable and biodegradable – materials; and are not as easily printable as paper.

Recently, researchers have explored papers with the goal of replacing plastic substrates as a lightweight substrate for low-cost, versatile, and roll-to-roll printed electronics. Already, they have demonstrated various types of devices on papers such as batteries ("Truly green paper battery is algae-powered"), solar cells ("Mass-printed polymer/fullerene solar cells on paper"), or RFID tags ("Playing RFID tag with sheets of paper"), and even transistors ("Nanopaper transistors for the coming age of flexible and transparent electronics").

In new work, researchers from National Taiwan University demonstrated a paper-based, nonvolatile memory device. As they reported in the July 14, 2014 online edition of ACS Nano ("All-Printed Paper Memory"), the team used a combination of inkjet and screen printing to fabricate resistive RAM memory cells on commercial printing paper.

Electronics printed on paper are cheap, flexible, and recyclable, and could lead to applications such as smart labels on foods and pharmaceuticals or as wearable medical sensors.

This is the first nonvolatile memory built on paper. Resistive random access memory (RRAM), however, is not a new concept. The combination of RRAM and paper is ideal because the structure of RRAM is simple—only one insulator and two electrodes are required for a bit. Operation is also simple; such memory is operated by changing the resistances of the insulator material, whose resistive states – 0 and 1 – varies greatly as different voltages impose across it. In addition, RRAM is nonvolatile so an embedded power source is not required.

"One challenge of using regular cellulose paper as a base for electronic memory is that, because it is made of fibers, it is very rough and porous on a microscopic level, making it difficult to lay down the thin, uniform layers of materials that typical memory technologies require," Jr-Hau He, an Associate Professor at the Institute of Photonics and Optoelectronics & Department of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University, who led the work, explains to Nanowerk.

To get around this problem, He's team decided to fabricate RRAM, a relatively new type of memory with a structure simple enough to cope with such surface variations.

In an RRAM device, an insulator can be set to different levels of electrical resistance by applying a voltage across it; one level of resistance corresponds to the 1s of digital logic, the other to the 0s. So each bit in RRAM consists of an insulator sandwiched by two electrodes.

(d) Cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy image of the paper-based memory. (Reprinted with permission by American Chemical Society) -


This device is fabricated by printing techniques – inkjet printing and screen printing – so the memory can be printed by a commercial printer or roll-to-roll techniques. In a first fabrication step, commercial printing paper is coated several times – until the surface roughness of the paper is smoothed out – with a layer of carbon paste that will serve as the bottom electrode. After curing, patterns of titanium oxide nanoparticles are inkjet-printed onto the paper and dried. Finally, silver nanoparticle ink is inkjet-printed on top of the TiO2 patterns in order to form the top electrode.He notes that, if combined with other printable devices, it will become possible for consumers to design a functional circuit on their own computer, or download one from the internet, and directly fabricate it at home instead of in a lab or factory setting.

"And then a lot of applications will become possible," says He. "For example, integrated with RFIDs, a printed RRAM device can be used for ticketing; dot arrays can serve as QR code and provide better security; or it can just be memories embedded in your books, paper cups, or any other printable objects". Going forward, one of the issues the researchers will focus on is to increase the memory density of their printed RRAM. The current work uses a regular inkjet printer and has a dot size of ∼50 µm with pitch resolution of 25 µm. Thus, one bit will occupy a square of about 100 µm on each side, or 104 bits per cm2. With this density, a fully printed A4 paper can hold 6.237*106 bits or roughly 780 KB of data.

With a higher resolution printer it will be possible to achieve a dot resolution of 1 µm and nearly the same pitch width. That means the density could be enhanced by about 2500 times, and 1.56*1010 bits, or almost 2 GB, could be obtained on a single A4 paper.

According to He, the team is currently exploring RRAM crossbar architectures and trying to build 1D-1R or 2D-1R structures. The cross-bar architecture is possible to be stacked, so that the 3D arrays can be achieved, and the density can be increased.

They are also exploring the use of arrays of single memory dots, for instance in arrangements like QR codes. "The dots can be painted, so combining the pigments (dark and light) and resistive states (high and low) the stored information can be doubled and secured," says He.

'Efficient triple-junction polymer solar cell' design sets new record - NW/UCLA/AM, CALIFORNIA/LOS ANGELES - Jul 31, 2014

"Organic solar cells are conventionally made from two materials: a donor and an acceptor, which facilitates an efficient charge separation. For the acceptor, the most commonly used molecule is one of the blue absorbing fullerenes. This leaves the absorption spectrum of the donor material responsible to cover as much as possible of the solar spectrum. But most organic semiconductors only have a small optical bandwidth. Consequently, solar cells based on such materials only catch a small part of the solar spectrum.

This problem can be overcome with a properly designed stacked or tandem configuration, in which several organic materials are tuned so that each absorbs a separate part of the spectrum, thereby increasing the efficiency of the overall device. High bandgap semiconductor materials are used to absorb the short wavelength radiation, with longer wavelength parts transmitted to subsequent semiconductors.

In this context, researchers have set great hopes in the development of multi-junction solar cells, hoping to substantially exceed the performance of single-junction organic photovoltaics.

In theory , a solar cell with an infinite number of junctions could obtain a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of nearly 87% under highly concentrated sun light. The challenge is to develop a semiconductor material system that can attain a wide range of bandgaps and be grown with high crystalline quality.

New research coming out of the Yang Yang lab at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), one of the leading labs for organic tandem solar cell research, presents an efficient design for a triple-junction organic tandem solar cell featuring a configuration of bandgap energies designed to maximize the tandem photocurrent output.

The key innovation in this study, reported in the July 14, 2014 online edition of Advanced Materials ("An Efficient Triple-Junction Polymer Solar Cell Having a Power Conversion Efficiency Exceeding 11%"), is the demonstration of organic materials being able to mimic the record-setting efficiency of triple-junction structures in III-V solar cells.
III-V based solar cells constructed with the industry-standard GaInP/GaInAs/Ge technology have achieved the highest energy conversion efficiencies of all solar cells, with the current record exceeding 40%.
"In III–V multijunction solar cells, the optimal arrangement for a high-current-output triple-junction tandem cell features one wide-bandgap absorber (2.0–1.85 eV), one medium-bandgap absorber (1.4–1.2 eV), and one low-bandgap absorber (1.0–0.7 eV)", Chun-Chao Chen, a graduate student in Yang's lab and first author of the paper, explains to Nanowerk. "This optimal design rule cannoooooooooooooooooooooooot be applied directly to organic solar cells, however, because of the lack of efficient donor materials having bandgaps as low as 1 eV. Therefore, we set out to determine a practical combination of bandgap energies for triple junctions to develop an efficient organic tandem solar cell structure."

For their design, the team used three materials with different energy bandgaps (1.9, 1.58, and 1.4 eV) as electron donors, blended with fullerene derivatives. With this arrangement of bandgap energies, they fabricated a highly efficient triple-junction tandem solar cell having a PCE of 11% – exceeding the record efficiency of a double-junction tandem solar cell, previously demonstrated by Yang's group as well.

The specific problem in triple-junction solar cells is the complicated optical interference effect between each subcell included in the tandem. "When there are two junctions in tandem, the optical effect is easy to resolve," say the UCLA researchers. "However, when it comes to triple junctions, you can noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot use trial and error to find out the optimal layer thickness for absorption for each subcell."

To solve this issue, and in order to understand how each subcell works and how much current it can deliver, the team carried out in-depth and detailed optical simulations for each subcell.

Benefiting from this tool, they came up with a simple and effective structure for connecting the subcells in tandem solar cells. This interconnecting structure, made of WO3/PEDOT:PSS/ZnO, is completely solution processed, thus keeping the orthogonal processing advantage of organic solar cells unchanged – regardless of how many junctions are added.

According to the UCLA team, "this design significantly strengthens our faith in tandem structure for organic solar cell."

They also points out that one of the outcomes of this study is the message that innovations in device architecture can potentially push the efficiencies of organic solar cell technology into the realm of inorganic photovoltaics. The team is confident that their experience and knowledge gained from designing tandem solar cells can be transferred to other photovoltaic technologies – e.g. hybrid solar cells; perovskite solar cell; CIGS solar cells. Last year, for instance, they have shown that tandem structures can be combined with existing semitransparent solar cell design can result in a doubling of efficiency (read more: "Transparent film could coat windows, smartphone screens with energy-harvesting material").

"Layered nanosheet membranes for 'ultrafast molecule separation' " - NW - Jun 17, 2014
www.nanowerk.com/spotlight/spotid=36066.php

"The atomically thin, porous graphene membranes represent a new class of ideal molecular sieves, where transport occurs through pores which have a thickness and diameter on the atomic scale. These characteristics make graphene an ideal material for creating a separation membrane because it is durable and yet doesn’t require a lot of energy to push molecules through it.
Simulations point to graphene oxide frameworks' great potential in water purification and researchers already have used Individual graphene sheets and their functionalized derivatives to remove metal ions and organic pollutants from water (read more: "Nanotechnology water remediation with bulky graphene materials") and simulations

More recently, researchers have begun exploring analogues of graphene, i.e. other two-dimensional (2D) layered materials such as boron and molybdenum oxides (read more: "Two-dimensional nanotechnology materials beyond graphene").

"Although tens of novel 2D layered materials are found, the separation membranes made of them are rather scarce, except recently for MoS2 and graphene oxide nanosheets," Xinsheng Peng, a Professor in the State Key Laboratory of Silicon Materials, Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Zhejiang University, tells Nanowerk. "Like graphene and its derivatives, layered transition-metal dichalcogenides have also desirable mechanical properties and could be assembled into lamellar thin films. Therefore, they are expected to be used to construct novel high-performance lamellar separation membranes."

In new work, Peng and his collaborators have developed a new separation membrane with 2D layered transition metal dichalcogenides (tungsten disulfide) for size-selective separation of small molecules of about 3 nm. As they reported in ACS Nano ("Ultrafast Molecule Separation through Layered WS2 Nanosheet Membranes"), as-prepared WS2 membranes exhibit 5 times higher water permeance than graphene oxide membranes with similar rejection.



- Schematics of the nanostrand-channeled WS2 membrane. (Reprinted with permission by American Chemical Society) -


The team assembled their separation membrane from chemically exfoliated WS20 nanosheets by filtration. As prepared, this 300-500 nm thick membrane demonstrates a water permeance of 450 L/m2•h•bar with over 90% rejection for 3 nm molecules (Evans Blue). To further improve the water permeance, they employed ultrathin metal hydroxide nanostrands to create more fluidic channels while keeping the rejection rate of specific molecules unchanged. This more than doubled the membrane performance to 930 L/m2•h•bar.
Peng points out that a well calibrated thickness is crucial for a highly efficient separation membrane to balance water flux and rejection rate: "A too thick membrane has low water flux despite high rejection rate, while a thinner membrane usually presents higher flux but worse rejection and suffers mechanical problems."

When testing their membranes under pressure, the team found that the as-prepared WS2 membrane linearly depends on pressure, as was expected. The nanostrand-channeled WS2 membrane however displays a rather different pressure-dependent water flux.

"At lower pressure range, similar to the as-prepared membranes, the water flux increases linearly with external pressure," Peng describes the results. "However, at 0.3 MPa, we observed a transition of water flux with respect to pressure. The flux at the external pressure above 0.3 MPa is fitted with a straight line with larger slope. The transition implies a geometry evolution of the nanochannels during the pressure loading on the channeled membranes beyond 0.3 MPa."

The team speculated that the larger water flux at higher pressure may be attributed to the formation of new fluidic channels.

"Our pressure loading-unloading tests suggests that the channels arising from ultrathin nanostrands are cracked between 0.3 and 0.4 MPa," explains Peng. "These cracks produce new fluidic nanochannels that further results in water flux 4 times that of the as-prepared WS2 membrane without degradation of the rejection performance."

He notes, though, that the ratio of WS2 suspension and ultrathin nanostrands needs to be carefully adjusted. An excess of nanostrands will result in their overlapping, which produces larger channels in the membranes, leading to worse separation performance.

Overall, the results suggest that WS2 membranes hold promising potential for use in applications for ultrafast small organic molecule separation for water purification.

The development of more 2D-layered materials will also expand the family of 2D-layered material separation membranes," concludes Peng. "Due to their individual unique surface states in combination with different preparation strategies, these novel membranes will exhibit different water permeation behavior and separation performances. In our opinion, the challenge likely comes from how to model the new 2D-layered materials in a proper way."

DNA sequencing reaches new lengths - NW/UoW/NBT, WASHINGTON - Jul 17, 2014
www.nature.com/doifinder/10.1038/nbt.2950
www.nanowerk.com/spotlight/spotid=36566.php

"Sequencing technologies have made it cheaper and faster to read the sequence of bases on a strand of DNA. A promising technology to take these advances further is nanopore sequencing. Individual strands of DNA are moved through a nanopore gap not much wider than the DNA itself. As the DNA passes through the nanopore, continuous information is gained about the sequence of individual bases – the A, C, G and Ts that make up DNA. So far the technology has been used for sequencing relatively short fragments of DNA around 100 bases long.

“One reason why people are so excited about nanopore DNA sequencing is that the technology could possibly be used to create ‘tricorder’-like devices for detecting pathogens or diagnosing genetic disorders rapidly and on-the-spot,” commented Andrew Laszlo, a researcher in nanopore technology at the University of Washington.

Researchers from the University of Washington’s Departments of Physics and Genome Sciences have developed a nanopore sequencing technique reaching read lengths of several thousand bases. The result is the latest in a series of advances in nanopore technology developed at the university.

The team, led by Jens Gundlach, published their findings in Nature Biotechnology as an advanced online publication on June 25, 2014 ("Decoding long nanopore sequencing reads of natural DNA").

“This is the first time anaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayone has shown that nanopores can be used to generate interpretable signatures corresponding to very long DNA sequences from real-world genomes,” said co-author Jay Shendure, an associate professor in Genome Sciences, “It’s a major step forward.”

The idea for nanopore sequencing originated in the 90s: a lipid membrane, similar to the material that makes up the cell wall, acts as a barrier separating two liquids. Inserted into the membrane is a tiny gap, just nanometers across, called a nanopore. By applying a voltage difference across the barrier, ions in the liquid try to move between the two sides of the barrier and the only way to do this is to flow through the nanopore. The movement of the charged molecules between the two liquids is a current, just like electrons moving along a wire in an electrical circuit, and can be recorded.

Any DNA in the system is also pulled towards the other side of the barrier by the voltage difference, since DNA is negatively charged, and just like the ions it has to pass through the nanopore. The difference is that the DNA is much bigger than the ions and partially blocks the nanopore, making it harder for the smaller molecules to pass through. As the ions are blocked by the DNA, there is a measurable difference in the current flowing across the membrane which is dependent on the DNA base passing through the nanopore. By measuring the changing current, information can be gained on the bases passing through.

The researchers created the nanopore by inserting a single protein called Mycobacterium smegmatis porin A, or MspA, in the membrane. MspA is normally found lining the membrane of a species of bacteria, controlling the intake of nutrients.

One challenge the researchers faced was the control of the DNA passing through the nanopore. Normally, the DNA would zip through the MspA nanopore too fast to detect the changes in the current. The researchers slowed the DNA movement through the pore using a second protein called phi29 DNA polymerase (DNAP), which captures DNA and slows its movement through the pore.

The shape of the protein MspA meant that several bases passed through the nanopore at one time and the current changes were the result of a combination of those bases. This presented another challenge. Since several bases passed through the nanopore at one time, the researchers needed a way to decipher what the current changes meant. To do this, they first made a library of DNA sequences that contains all possible combinations of 4 nucleotides (for the mathematically inclined, the library is 44 = 256 bases long – a string of 4 bases with 4 possible choices for each DNA base). The library, whose sequence was already known, was run though the nanopore first to find the current associated with each set of DNA base combinations. They combined the library measurements with known genome sequences to generate a set of expected current changes that could be compared to experimental measurements.

The researchers tested their approach by sequencing the entire genome of bacteriophage Phi X 174, a virus that infects bacteria and is used as a benchmark for evaluating new sequencing technologies. The impressive feat here is the length of the genome they sequenced – the Phi X 174 genome is 4,500 bases long. Other nanopore technologies have been limited to sequencing DNA fragments that were much shorter.

“Despite the remaining hurdles, our demonstration that a low-cost device can reliably read the sequences of naturally occurring DNA and can interpret DNA segments as long as 4,500 nucleotides in length represents a major advance in nanopore DNA sequencing,” explained Gundlach.

'Molecular shuttle' "speeds up hydrogen production" - NW/NIM/LMU/NM/SolTech, MUNICH - Aug 14, 2014
www.nature.com/nmat/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nmat4049.html
www.nanowerk.com/nanotechnology-news/newsid=36937.php

"A Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) team affiliated with the Nanosystems Initiative Munich (NIM) has achieved a breakthrough in light-driven generation of hydrogen with semiconductor nanocrystals, by using a novel molecular shuttle to enhance charge-carrier transport.


The amount of solar radiation that reaches the Earth in a year exceeds our current annual energy needs more than 10,000-fold. However, it is not yet possible to store sufficiently high amounts of solar energy in an efficient way. A promising approach is to utilize incoming solar radiation for the photocatalytic generation of molecular hydrogen (H2) from water. Hydrogen gas is an excellent energy source, with the product of its combustion being again water, thereby making it free of greenhouse gases.

In their latest experiments with semiconductor nanocrystals as light absorbers, physicists led by Professor Jochen Feldmann (LMU Munich), in collaboration with a team of chemists under the direction of Professor Andrey Rogach (City University of Hong Kong), have succeeded in significantly increasing the yield of hydrogen produced by the photocatalytic splitting of water. The crucial innovation, reported in the latest issue of the journal Nature Materials ("Redox shuttle mechanism enhances photocatalytic H2 generation on Ni-decorated CdS nanorods"), is the use of a so-called molecular shuttle to markedly improve the mobility of charge carriers in their reaction system.



- Photocatalytic hydrogen production on nanocrystals. -


One photon, two charges, two roles

The basic principle behind photocatalysis seems to be quite simple. When a quantum of light (a “photon”) with sufficient energy excites a semiconductor nanocrystal, it produces a negative charge (electron) and a positive charge (hole). Photocatalytic synthesis of hydrogen gas from water requires the transfer of electrons to the hydrogen, while the holes interact with the oxygen or are scavenged by other molecules. However, before any of this can happen, the photogenerated electrons and holes must be quickly separated from each other. If the semiconducting nanocrystals are decorated with nanoparticles of a metal catalyst – such as the precious metal platinum – the electron can rapidly transfer to the metal and hydrogen production ensues. But unless the positively charged holes are effectively removed, they will accumulate and eventually bringing H2 synthesis to a halt.

One problem for an efficient removal of holes is the need of polar molecules being attached to the nanocrystals as surface ligands in order to make the nanocrystals water-soluble. By doing so, however, the resulting “ligand forest” of the attached polar molecules makes it difficult for the holes to interact with water or larger scavenger molecules.


A shuttle service , for molecules

One can compare this to the problem of delivering airline passengers to their final destination . Spatial constraints obviously make it impossible for the aircraft to convey its passengers directly to their hotels in town. Instead, smaller and more maneuverable carriers, such as the shuttle buses, are used for the short last stage of the trip.

In a similar way, the research teams in Munich and Hong Kong hit on the idea of using one of the smallest constituents of their system – the hydroxyl ion formed by the dissociation of water – to penetrate the ligand forest, collect the holes from the surface of the crystals and transport them to a larger acceptor molecule. Moreover, the concentration of this molecular shuttle in the system can be easily controlled by altering the pH of the solution. Indeed, raising the pH of the solution drastically increases the rate of hydrogen production.

“I was amazed the first time I tried it. As soon as I increased the pH I could see, with the naked eye, bubbles of hydrogen rising to the surface.” says Thomas Simon, a PhD student at Professor Feldmann’s chair.


A stable and cost-effective system

The new system also has other advantages. First of all, its long-term stability could be markedly improved. Furthermore, it turns out that the costly platinum catalyst can be replaced by nickel, a far less expensive metal. “The discovery of this new mechanism could lead to entirely new approaches to the photocatalytic production of hydrogen.” adds Dr. Jacek Stolarczyk, who heads the Photocatalysis group at the chair of Photonics and Optoelectronics (PhOG) at LMU.

Chair holder Professor Jochen Feldmann, who also serves as Director of the NIM Cluster of Excellence, emphasizes the crucial role of the close collaboration between the different research groups involved in the project: “Our work could only be successful by being a product of an interdisciplinary team, and with the generous support by the NIM cluster and the Bavarian Research Network ’Solar Technologies go Hybrid‘ (SolTech).”

'Superhydrophobic nonwovens, from naturally occurring polymers' - MV - Aug 14, 2014
www.materialsviews.com/superhydrophobic-nonwovens-naturally-…
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adfm.201401423/ab…

"Superhydrophobicity can be found in nature, as can be seen in the way water droplets roll off a lotus leaf, or adhere strongly to a rose petal. Such unique wetting properties have been artificially reproduced by using synthetic materials with a rough surface. However, although there is no doubt that leaves and flowers are mainly composed of biopolymers, there has been little research done on superhydrophobic materials made of natural-occurring materials.

Now, a Japanese/German collaboration has succeeded in synthesising a biodegradable, hydrophobic polymer by modifying a naturally-occurring poly(amino acid) with a hydrophobic amino acid. the modified polymer is then subjected to electrospinning, a versatile technique for producing nanofibers from various polymer solutions, which creates a nonwoven material with a rough surface. These resultant nonwovens show a water contact angle of more than 150o - they are superhydrophobic. This new class of biodegradable, superhydrophobic materials opens up new possibilites in the fields of environmental chemistry and biomedical engineering – they will become a new functional material resource which meets at least some of the criteria for green chemistry.

$20.000.000 grant to support developing eco-friendly plastics NW/CU - Aug 13, 2014
www.nanowerk.com/news2/green/newsid=36922.php

"A five-year, $20 million National Science Foundation grant will allow chemists from Cornell and other institutions to study new ways to make plastics more sustainable.


The award establishes one of eight NSF Centers for Chemical Innovation, and is based at the University of Minnesota. Grant co-investigators include Cornell’s Geoffrey Coates, professor of chemistry and chemical biology and a Tisch University Professor; William Dichtel, associate professor in the same department; and Anne LaPointe, senior research associate in chemistry. Marc Hillmyer of the University of Minnesota is director of the Center for Sustainable Polymers (CSP) and the project’s lead; University of California, Berkeley, scientists are also involved.

Work in the CSP will be aimed at technologically competitive, cost-effective, environmentally sustainable materials made from polymers. Research is already underway to convert abundant, sustainable, plant-derived biomass into plastics by combining new methods in synthetic chemistry with novel processing techniques. The goal is to develop next-generation plastics that are nontoxic, biodegradable and recyclable, and attractive to consumers in cost and performance.

At Cornell, of particular importance to the center’s mission will be the polymer science laboratory led by Coates, who studies how efficient catalytic chemistry can convert biomass molecules into polymer precursors that have been traditionally prepared from petroleum. Coates is also studying whether plastics could be created from carbon dioxide. Coates’ polymer research formed the basis for his startup company, Novomer.

“This NSF Center for Chemical Innovation is unique in that it focuses not only on polymer synthesis and structure, but also on the development of new monomers from renewable feedstocks,” Coates said. “We will particularly benefit from the theoretical expertise in the center that will help guide reaction development, as well as researchers with expertise in materials processing and properties.”

More than three dozen graduate students and postdoctoral researchers will be involved in research projects at the center, as well as education and outreach activities. Each senior investigator will also mentor undergraduates during summer research programs.

Carbon dioxide 'sponge' " "could" ease transition, to cleaner energy" - NW/UoL - Aug 10, 2014
www.nanowerk.com/news2/green/newsid=36861.php

"A sponge-like plastic that sops up the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) might ease our transition away from polluting fossil fuels and toward new energy sources, such as hydrogen. The material — a relative of the plastics used in food containers — could play a role in President Obama's plan to cut CO2 emissions 30 percent by 2030, and could also be integrated into power plant smokestacks in the future.

The report on the material is one of nearly 12,000 presentations at the 248th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society, taking place through Thursday.



- Plastic that soaks up carbon dioxide could someday be used in plant smokestacks. (Image: ACS) -


"The key point is that this polymer is stable, it's cheap, and it adsorbs CO2 extremely well. It's geared toward function in a real-world environment," says Andrew Cooper, Ph.D. "In a future landscape where fuel-cell technology is used, this adsorbent could work toward zero-emission technology."

CO2 adsorbents are most commonly used to remove the greenhouse gas pollutant from smokestacks at power plants where fossil fuels like coal or gas are burned. However, Cooper and his team intend the adsorbent, a microporous organic polymer, for a different application — one that could lead to reduced pollution.

The new material would be a part of an emerging technology called an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC), which can convert fossil fuels into hydrogen gas. Hydrogen holds great promise for use in fuel-cell cars and electricity generation because it produces almost no pollution. IGCC is a bridging technology that is intended to jump-start the hydrogen economy, or the transition to hydrogen fuel, while still using the existing fossil-fuel infrastructure. But the IGCC process yields a mixture of hydrogen and CO2 gas, which must be separated.

Cooper, who is at the University of Liverpool, says that the sponge works best under the high pressures intrinsic to the IGCC process. Just like a kitchen sponge swells when it takes on water, the adsorbent swells slightly when it soaks up CO2 in the tiny spaces between its molecules. When the pressure drops, he explains, the adsorbent deflates and releases the CO2, which they can then collect for storage or convert into useful carbon compounds.

The material, which is a brown, sand-like powder, is made by linking together many small carbon-based molecules into a network. Cooper explains that the idea to use this structure was inspired by polystyrene, a plastic used in styrofoam and other packaging material. Polystyrene can adsorb small amounts of CO2 by the same swelling action.

One advantage of using polymers is that they tend to be very stable. The material can even withstand being boiled in acid, proving it should tolerate the harsh conditions in power plants where CO2 adsorbents are needed. Other CO2 scrubbers — whether made from plastics or metals or in liquid form — do not always hold up so well, he says. Another advantage of the new adsorbent is its ability to adsorb CO2 without also taking on water vapor, which can clog up other materials and make them less effective. Its low cost also makes the sponge polymer attractive. "Compared to many other adsorbents, they're cheap," Cooper says, mostly because the carbon molecules used to make them are inexpensive. "And in principle, they're highly reusable and have long lifetimes because they're very robust."

Cooper also will describe ways to adapt his microporous polymer for use in smokestacks and other exhaust streams. He explains that it is relatively simple to embed the spongy polymers in the kinds of membranes already being evaluated to remove CO2 from power plant exhaust, for instance. Combining two types of scrubbers could make much better adsorbents by harnessing the strengths of each, he explains.

Title: Swellable, water-tolerant polymer sponges for carbon dioxide capture


Abstract

To impact carbon emissions, new materials for carbon capture must be inexpensive, robust, and able to adsorb CO2 specifically from a mixture of other gases. In particular, materials must be tolerant to the water vapor and to the acidic impurities that are present in gas streams produced by using fossil fuels to generate electricity. We show that a porous organic polymer has excellent CO2 capacity and high CO2 selectivity under conditions relevant to precombustion CO2 capture. Unlike polar adsorbents, such as Zeolite 13x and the metal-organic framework, HKUST-1, the CO2 adsorption capacity for the hydrophobic polymer is hardly affected by the adsorption of water vapour. The polymer is even stable to boiling in concentrated acid for extended periods, a property that is matched by few microporous adsorbents. The polymer adsorbs CO2 in a different way from rigid materials by physical swelling, much as a sponge adsorbs water. This gives rise to a higher CO2 capacities and much better CO2 selectivity than for other water-tolerant, non-swellable frameworks, such as activated carbon and ZIF-8. The polymer has superior function as a selective gas adsorbent, even though its constituent monomers are very simple organic feedstocks, as would be required for materials preparation on the large industrial scales required for carbon capture.

New catalyst converts carbon dioxide, to fuel - NW/UoI/NC, CHICAGO - Jul 30, 2014

"Scientists from the University of Illinois at Chicago have synthesized a catalyst that improves their system for converting waste carbon dioxide into syngas, a precursor of gasoline and other energy-rich products, bringing the process closer to commercial viability.


Amin Salehi-Khojin, UIC professor of mechanical and industrial engineering, and his coworkers developed a unique two-step catalytic process that uses molybdenum disulfide and an ionic liquid to “reduce,” or transfer electrons, to carbon dioxide in a chemical reaction. The new catalyst improves efficiency and lowers cost by replacing expensive metals like gold or silver in the reduction reaction.

The study was published in the journal Nature Communications on July 30 ("Robust ccarbon dioxide reduction on molybdenum disulphide edges").



- Amin Salehi-Khojin, assistant professor of mechanical/industrial engineering. -


The discovery is a big step toward industrialization, said Mohammad Asadi, UIC graduate student and co-first author on the paper.

“With this catalyst, we can directly reduce carbon dioxide to syngas without the need for a secondary, expensive gasification process,” he said. In other chemical-reduction systems, the only reaction product is carbon monoxide. The new catalyst produces syngas, a mixture of carbon monoxide plus hydrogen. The high density of loosely bound, energetic d-electrons in molybdenum disulfide facilitates charge transfer, driving the reduction of the carbon dioxide, said Salehi-Khojin, principal investigator on the study.

“This is a very generous material,” he said. “We are able to produce a very stable reaction that can go on for hours.”

“In comparison with other two-dimensional materials like graphene, there is no need to play with the chemistry of molybdenum disulfide, or insert any host materials to get catalytic activity,” said Bijandra Kumar, UIC post-doctoral fellow and co-first author of the paper.

“In noble metal catalysts like silver and gold, catalytic activity is determined by the crystal structure of the metal, but with molybdeneum disulfide, the catalytic activity is on the edges,” said graduate student Amirhossein Behranginia, a coauthor on the paper. “Fine-tuning of the edge structures is relatively simple. We can easily grow the molybdenum disulfide with the edges vertically aligned to offer better catalytic performance.”
The proportion of carbon monoxide to hydrogen in the syngas produced in the reaction can also be easily manipulated using the new catalyst, said Salehi-Khojin.

“Our whole purpose is to move from laboratory experiments to real-world applications,” he said. “This is a real breakthrough that can take a waste gas — carbon dioxide — and use inexpensive catalysts to produce another source of energy at large-scale, while making a healthier environment.”
Artem Baskin, Nikita Repnin, Davide Pisasale, Patrick Philips, Robert Klie, Petr Kral and Jeremiah Abiade of UIC; Brian Rose and Richard Haasch of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; and Wei Zhu of Dioxide Materials in Champaign, Illinois, are also coauthors on the paper.

The study was supported by UIC’s Chancellor Innovation Fund; by the American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund grant #53062-ND6; and the Herbert E. Paaren Graduate Fellowship.

Chemists develop MRI technique, for peeking inside supercapacitors- NW/UoC/UoNY/NC, CAMBRIDGE/NEW YORK - Aug 11, 2014
www.nature.com/ncomms/2014/140801/ncomms5536/full/ncomms5536…
www.nanowerk.com/news2/green/newsid=36760.php

"A team of chemists from New York University and the University of Cambridge has developed a method for examining the inner workings of battery-like devices called supercapacitors, which can be charged up extremely quickly and can deliver high electrical power. Their technique, based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), establishes a means for monitoring and potentially enhancing the performance of such devices.


The work, which appears in the latest issue of the journal Nature Communications ("Multinuclear in situ magnetic resonance imaging of electrochemical double-layer capacitors"), focuses on electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), a type of so-called supercapacitor. These are excellent options for powering systems where fast charging and power delivery are crucial, such as in regenerative braking (for use in trains and buses), camera flashes, and in backup computer memory.

"The MRI method really allows us to look inside a functioning electrical storage device and locate molecular events that are responsible for its functioning," explains Alexej Jerschow, a professor in NYU's Department of Chemistry and one of the paper's senior authors.

"The approach allows us to explore electrolyte concentration gradients and the movement of ions within the electrode and electrolyte, both ultimately a cause of poor rate performance in batteries and supercapacitors," adds co-author Clare Grey, a professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge.

The other authors included Andrew Ilott, a post-doctoral researcher in NYU's Department of Chemistry, and Nicole Trease, a post-doctoral researcher at Stony Brook University.

Capacitors are designed to store electric charge, but their storage capabilities are limited. In recent years, advances have been made to address this shortcoming. Among these has been the creation of supercapacitors, which can store more electrical charge than their predecessors. This is due to an electrical double layer formed at the electrolyte-electrode interface—the process by which energy is stored—which serves to more effectively trap energy than can standard capacitors.

However, the exact nature of this charge process in supercapacitors remains a subject of debate. Previous research has attempted to understand this process through the synthesis of new electrode materials, simulations of the charging process, and by spectroscopy—rather than by direct imaging of a complete functioning device.

In the Nature Communications work, Jerschow, Grey, and their co-authors explored a novel approach to understanding how these devices function: the use of MRI technology, which serves as a looking glass into supercapacitors' energy storage activity.

This method has a precedent from the same research team. In work published by Nature Materials in 2012, the NYU-Cambridge team developed a method, based on MRI, to look inside a battery without damaging it. Their technique provided a method for helping to improve battery performance and safety by serving as a diagnostic of its internal workings.

In the supercapacitor work, the researchers found that MRI could pinpoint the location and estimate the amount of both positively and negatively charged electrolyte ions—data that are crucial to understanding the energy storage mechanism.

The technique has the potential to analyze functioning devices at different states of charge, and thus to provide information on the microscopic processes which are ultimately responsible for the storage and power capacity of a device.

With this non-invasive method, the researchers say, one could rapidly test the properties of different capacitor materials and thus elucidate their effectiveness in enhancing device performance. They add that techniques could also be useful in assessing factors that affect the longevity of the devices, or the conditioning or "breaking-in" of devices during first use.
The team next plans to investigate how different ions interact with other molecules in the electrolyte mixture, which may be a key to enhanced performance.

Argentina calls hedge funds in debt case an 'international mafia' - FY/R, BUENOS AIRES - Aug 14, 2014
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/argentina-calls-hedge-funds-de…

" The hedge funds suing Argentina over its 2002 debt default are an "international mafia" out to wreck the country's finances, the government said on Thursday, pumping up the rhetoric in a battle that is squeezing the struggling Argentine economy.

With its peso currency at record lows, foreign reserves down more than 5 percent over the last year and vast shale oil and gas resources laying undeveloped in its southern Patagonia region, Argentina is desperate to tap foreign financing.

But the debt case, which stems from Argentina's default on nearly $100 billion in sovereign bonds 12 years ago, is blocking its access to the international bond market.

"Today we are in the hands of an international financial power comprised of small, voracious interests that form a real international mafia," Jorge Capitanich, the Cabinet chief and government spokesman, told reporters in Buenos Aires.

Many Argentines side with their government against a group of hedge funds that rejected the country's 2005 and 2010 debt restructurings in which holders received less than 30 cents on the dollar.

Holdout funds led by Elliott Management Corp and Aurelius Capital Management bought Argentine bonds at a discount before and after the 2002 default and have pressed their demand for payment of 100 cents on the dollar in the U.S. courts.

In 2012, a federal judge in New York awarded them $1.33 billion plus interest and barred Argentina from repaying holders of exchanged debt without paying the holdouts too.

The case pushed the country into default again last month, effectively slamming the door on Argentina's hopes of tapping global bond markets.

"The world has to say 'enough' to the vultures," Capitanich said. "They are trying to harm the Argentine people and violate our sovereignty."

Left-leaning President Cristina Fernandez and her ministers have long disparaged the holdout funds as "vultures" picking at the bones of Argentina's traumatic 2002 default.

But the country says a clause in the deal to restructure its debt, set to expire in January, prohibits the government from offering better terms to the holdouts than were offered in the 2005 and 2010 restructurings.

With no negotiated solution on the horizon, Argentina's peso weakened more than 1.5 percent on Wednesday to a record low of 13.15 per U.S. dollar in unofficial trading.

Foreign exchange controls force most Argentines to buy dollars on the black market, which is widely seen as a truer rate of exchange than the official rate of 8.2750 to the greenback.

Local government bonds also fell and reserves stood at $28.967 billion, down 5.33 percent over the last year.

Zitat von Popeye82: 'Top 10 Water Innovators' Celebrated in New Report - GreenBiz, OAKLAND - April 22, 2009

- By Matthew Wheeland -
www.greenbiz.com/news/2009/04/22/top-10-water-innovators

"OAKLAND, Calif. -- Water, it is often said, is the new carbon: the next critical piece of business operations to manage and use efficiently. But the vast majority of innovations in water technology are often overlooked by investors, the press and the public, according to Laura Shenkar, the principal at the Artemis Project.

"During this period when the challenges to water supply and water quality are just beginning to affect business, these are companies that are blazing the trail toward green recovery. They are creating what will be one of the great high-growth industries of the 21st Century," Shenkar said. "The Artemis Project Top 50 companies are just the tip of the iceberg for a major industry that will generate thousands of companies and green jobs."

To that end, Shenkar and a team of judges compiled a list of more than 120 companies that are pushing the envelope in terms of water treatment, purification and management. Those companies were then rated on four criteria: technology, intellectual property and know-how, team quality and market potential. The judges also applied ipCapital Group's proprietary ipDimensional Scoring algorithm, which objectively ranks companies within a particular sector based on the relative value of its patents.

The winning companies span a range of different technologies. The top prize was given to Arizona-based stormwater treatment company AbTech Industries, Massachusetts-based desalination experts Oasys Water and Vermont-based Seldon Technologies, makers of a nano-tube water-filtration system.

"The goal of this competition was to show the U.S venture capital community the diversity and investment potential of an international network of advanced water technology companies," Shenkar said. "The fact that the top three winners of this competition are U.S. based companies should serve as a wakeup call to the U.S. investment community. Water will be a big industry sooner rather than later; it's flourishing in our own backyard."

In general, Shenkar said the companies that made the list are working on one or more of the following six trends in water management:

+ Acoustic Water Purification

+ Wastewater Purification

+ Software for Water Management

+ Disinfection/Iodine and Ultraviolet and Advanced Oxidation

+ Waste Mining

+ Energy Recovery


In acoustic water purification, companies are using either sounds or lasers to make a bubble in the water, which then explodes; and the heat and electricity and the shock has an impact to the molecules around it in killing off bacteria and purifying the water. This technique has been used most often in small-scale projects in wastewater and medical settings.

Wastewater purification can be used to recycle water to almost any grade -- in Singapore, Shenkar explained, companies are taking wastewater and purifying it to drinking quality. Although that's not a level the U.S. is likely to reach soon, it is a technology with significant uses.

Water-management software is currently put to use at both macro and micro levels, from Global Information Systems (GIS) satellites reading the lay of the water to ground-level implementations of water sensors to maximize water efficiency in landscaping.

On the disinfection fronts, iodine and chlorine both get bad raps, but Shenkar explains that natural iodine is quite safe to use, and companies like BioLargo are putting it to use with advanced delivery methods. Ultraviolet light is an up-and-coming solution, Shenkar said, in large part because of companies developing LED ultraviolet lights, which are much smaller and less hazardous to dispose of.

Waste mining is a form of wastewater purification, where companies can take out the elements within the wastewater and use some of remnants for beneficial purposes. An example Shenkar offered was mining the nitrogen from the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico's dead zones -- companies are developing ways to remove the nitrogen and reuse it.

Finally, energy recovery takes away one of the largest obstacles for widespread adoption of desalination: it currently takes an enormous amount of energy to filter and purify water, but companies are working on methods that use the non-filtered water to power turbines that run the machine, thereby recovering as much as 95 percent of the energy needed to desalinate water.

"A Virginia Tech scientist has discovered a potentially new form of plant communication, one that allows them to share an extraordinary amount of genetic information with one another.


The finding by Jim Westwood, a professor of plant pathology, physiology, and weed science in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, throws open the door to a new arena of science that explores how plants communicate with each other on a molecular level. It also gives scientists new insight into ways to fight parasitic weeds that wreak havoc on food crops in some of the poorest parts of the world.

His findings were published on Aug. 15 in the journal Science.

"The discovery of this novel form of inter-organism communication shows that this is happening a lot more than any one has previously realized," said Westwood, who is an affiliated researcher with the Fralin Life Science Institute. "Now that we have found that they are sharing all this information, the next question is, 'What exactly are they telling each other?'."

Westwood examined the relationship between a parasitic plant, dodder, and two host plants, Arabidopsis and tomatoes. In order to suck the moisture and nutrients out the host plants, dodder uses an appendage called a haustorium to penetrate the plant. Westwood previously broke new ground when he found that during this parasitic interaction, there is a transport of RNA between the two species. RNA translates information passed down from DNA, which is an organism’s blueprint. ”�

His new work expands this scope of this exchange and examines the mRNA, or messenger RNA, which sends messages within cells telling them which actions to take, such as which proteins to code. It was thought that mRNA was very fragile and short-lived, so transferring it between species was unimaginable. ”�

But Westwood found that during this parasitic relationship, thousands upon thousands of mRNA molecules were being exchanged between both plants, creating this open dialogue between the species that allows them to freely communicate.

Through this exchange, the parasitic plants may be dictating what the host plant should do, such as lowering its defenses so that the parasitic plant can more easily attack it. Westwood's next project is aimed at finding out exactly what the mRNA are saying. His work is sponsored by the National Science Foundation.

Using this newfound information, scientists can now examine if other organisms such a bacteria and fungi also exchange information in a similar fashion. His finding could also help solve issues of food scarcity. "

"How A Young Physicist Is Making Solar Power Work, Even When The Sun Is Down", LightSail’s process recovers 70% of the energy it puts out, " "Eventually ", we’re going to replace all of the energy requirements of the world" - IT/FCE - Aug , 2014

"Danielle Fong might have dropped out of grade school, but that hasn’t stopped her and her company LightSail from finding a way to potentially drastically change how much power we can get from renewable energy.


It is not unreasonable to expect that the renewable energy collected by the world’s solar panels and wind farms is being stored somewhere, ready and waiting to power our microwaves and hairdryers at a moment’s notice. Bad news: mostly, it’s not. Sure, there are a few methods in practice–expensive batteries that degrade over time, a medieval-sounding technique that involves pumping water up and down a hill–but by and large, if there’s a lot of wind blowing but not enough lightbulbs to use it, that energy simply goes to waste.

Hopefully, that’s about to change. Danielle Fong is the chief scientist (and grade-school dropout) behind LightSail Energy, a Berkeley-based team that’s developing compressed-air technology to store the power we don’t use, and return it to the grid when needed. It’s a simple concept: Just use the electricity generated by your solar panel and/or windmill to power a compressor, pushing air into a tank. When you want your energy back, you release the air out of the tank, and use it to drive a generator, creating electricity. “That’s the basic idea,” says Fong. Sadly, there’s more bad news again.

Compressed-air technology has long struggled with efficiency–the heat energy generated via compression has always gone to waste–and that’s the almost part where LightSail’s greatest innovation swoops in. Fong was researching compressor-powered vehicles when she had her eureka moment: “It became clear that what you wanted to do for maximum efficiency was keep the temperature as close to constant as possible in compression and expansion,” she says. “It turned out nobody had figured out how to do that, and I read a Wikipedia article saying it was impossible to do it, and I said, ‘My god, that’s not true. You can just spray water in.’ And then I was like, ‘Wait. I could just spray water in.’ And thus the company and core idea was born.”

What does spraying water in do? Best to let the genius explain: “Instead of wasting the heat, we collect it by spraying water into the air during the compression process,” she says. “That keeps the temperature down, and it keeps the pressure down, so you have to put less energy in to compress the same amount of air. During expansion, spraying water sends heat back into the air, which keeps the pressure high, and increases the amount of energy you get back.” Science aside, the numbers don’t lie: LightSail’s process recovers 70% of the energy it puts out, pretty much doubling the efficiency of the standard compression method. “Eventually, we’re going to replace all of the energy requirements of the world,” says Fong. “Or so we plan. The world has a way of turning out with surprises.” ..."

"Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have discovered a new drug compound that reverses the brain deficits of Alzheimer’s disease in an animal model.


Their findings are published in the Aug. 5 issue of the journal PLoS Biology.

The compound, TC-2153, inhibits the negative effects of a protein called STtriatal-Enriched tyrosine Phosphatase (STEP), which is key to regulating learning and memory. These cognitive functions are impaired in Alzheimer’s.

“Decreasing STEP levels reversed the effects of Alzheimer’s disease in mice,” said lead author Paul Lombroso, M.D., professor in the Yale Child Study Center and in the Departments of Neurobiology and Psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine.

Lombroso and co-authors studied thousands of small molecules, searching for those that would inhibit STEP activity. Once identified, those STEP-inhibiting compounds were tested in brain cells to examine how effectively they could halt the effects of STEP. They examined the most promising compound in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease, and found a reversal of deficits in several cognitive exercises that gauged the animals’ ability to remember previously seen objects. ..."

"Trapping liquid chemicals in crystals form may lead to better, safer and cheaper medicines and more environmentally-friendly chemicals for the farm


A new approach for formulating the active chemical ingredients of common drugs and agricultural products has been developed by researchers in Italy, and it holds broad potential to make such products more durable, safer, cheaper, easier to manufacture and less harmful to the environment.

The technique involves taking the active chemical ingredients found in human drugs and agrochemicals, many of which are liquids, and stabilizing them with other molecules into “co-crystals,” essentially rendering them solid. Co-crystals are materials composed of two or more molecules in the same crystal lattice — conceptually you can picture a checkerboard stacked up and down and right to left with black and red pieces together.

While the idea is still in its infancy, a presentation at the 23rd Congress and General Assembly of the International Union of Crystallography, next week in Montreal will describe the first initial results of this approach, which were successful.

“The work is promising because we successfully combined into crystals a set of liquid pharmaceutical and agrochemical molecules with carefully chosen molecular partners, and thus we were able to obtain solid forms containing the liquid active molecules embedded in the ordered solid,” said Alessia Bacchi, a professor at the University of Parma in Italy who led the research.

As a general approach, co-crystallization should be able to stabilize many types of liquid chemicals into solid form, Bacchi said. Reformulating pharmaceuticals in this way could give some drugs a longer shelf life, eliminate the need for refrigeration for others, simplify some manufacturing processes, possibly reduce costs and provide patients with a pill form of a drug they could take easier than a liquid. ..."

Grants 'Fund UW Technology Projects, on the "Road" to Commercialization' - NW/UoW-M, MADISON - Aug 15, 2014
www.newswise.com/articles/grants-fund-uw-technology-projects…

"An exercise machine that helps stroke victims walk. An advanced technology for assessing the progress of prostate cancer. A faster process for making neural stem cells to investigate new treatments for injury and disease. A cheaper, more beautiful LED light bulb. A game to teach meditation.

These projects, and a dozen more, are beneficiaries of the first round of awards by the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Discovery to Product, or D2P, program, which began operating in March. The 17 grants announced this week will support innovations in many fields of research at the university, from food engineering and medicine to stem cell biology and biomedical engineering.

“None have yet reached the company stage. All have proven technology. And all have the potential to advance quickly to the market,” says John Biondi, director of D2P. “Our goal is to achieve commercialization by June 2015, defined as reaching a licensing agreement or creating a startup company that has a high probability of getting funded.”

The Igniter grants are funded by $2.4 million from a State of Wisconsin Economic Development Incentive Grant. The goal, says Biondi, is “market de-risking, rather than technical de-risking. These projects have already shown proof of concept. The technology works.”


The first call for proposals garnered 170 ideas from across campus, says Biondi, a serial entrepreneur who has raised $60 million for his own startup projects. The winners included:

— A coordination-retraining device invented by Kreg Gruben in the Department of Kinesiology. Gruben has identified a specific deficit in muscular coordination that can cause balance difficulty after a stroke, and programmed a computer to detect that pattern and attempt to change it on a modified elliptical exercise machine. As the patient learns to correct the stroke-related deficit, the device facilitates practice in the motions of walking.

— Su-Chun Zhang, a renowned stem cell biologist at the Waisman Center, was funded to market a new technology to create large quantities of nerve cells and make them available to researchers who are investigating treatments for the nervous system.

— Professor of Neuroscience Gail Robertson was funded to commercialize a second-generation test to ensure that candidate drugs do not disrupt heart rhythms.

— Saul Laufer, an undergraduate in computer sciences, was funded for an invention that allows a mobile phone to use multiple phone numbers.

— UW-Madison’s Dictionary of American Regional English, or DARE, will get assistance from D2P to make itself available to travelers, readers of regional or historical diaries and newspapers, writers of regional fiction and anyone who encounters an unfamiliar word in American English.


All projects will enter an “accelerator” process that will offer guidance and advice toward reaching marketability, Biondi says. “We are holding the hands of these companies in the accelerator program,” says Biondi. “It’s a way of taking the technology, the value proposition, and validating it in the real world.”

Beyond Biondi, D2P’s Adam Sherman, an attorney with a degree in accounting and a new MBA in finance, will offer advice on business strategy and financial modeling. Will Robus, a co-founder of a startup company who also holds an MBA, will perform project management inside D2P and organize the effort to recruit mentors from around the country.

One key to success after a technology has proven itself, Biondi says, is intense interaction with potential customers. “Testing in the market place is essential, and what you find in the market frequently requires you to change the technology; there are cycles of building, measuring and learning that the projects will be going through.”

D2P, a partnership between UW-Madison and the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, or WARF, is one of only a few groups at UW-Madison funding campus projects at the pre-commercial stage, and Biondi thinks it has a competitive advantage in offering so much aid toward commercialization. “We hope the accelerator help will be at least as important as the funding.”

Biondi stresses that even if the projects succeed, the grants will not bring a direct financial return to WARF or the university. “We hope this is going to create products, companies, jobs, and an inordinate number of those will be in the state of Wisconsin. We hope to see Wisconsin technology get commercialized, and we figure that can only bring benefit to Wisconsin.” "

Molecular Engineers 'Record an Electron’s Quantum Behavior' - NW/UoC/SE/UoC/UoK, CHICAGO, CALIFORNIA, KONSTANZ - Aug 14, 2014
www.newswise.com/articles/molecular-engineers-record-an-elec…

"A team of researchers led by the University of Chicago has developed a technique to record the quantum mechanical behavior of an individual electron contained within a nanoscale defect in diamond. Their technique uses ultrafast pulses of laser light both to control the defect’s entire quantum state and observe how that single electron state changes over time. The work appears in this week’s online Science Express and will be published in print later this month in Science.

This research contributes to the emerging science of quantum information processing, which demands that science leave behind the unambiguous universe of traditional binary logic—0 or 1—and embrace the counterintuitive quantum world, where behavior is radically different from what humans experience every day. While people are generally content being in one place at a time, electrons can be in many states at once.


The team researches a quantum mechanical property of the electron known as spin. Much like conventional computers use the charge state of electrons to constitute bits of information, a quantum computer would use the spin state of a single electron as its quantum bit, or qubit. The work could accelerate development of quantum computing devices, and the extra computing power that would come with them, because it will be easier to identify materials that have appropriate quantum properties.

The spin system studied is known as the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center, an atom-sized defect that occurs naturally in diamond, consisting of a nitrogen atom next to a vacant spot in the crystal lattice. “These defects have garnered great interest over the past decade, providing a test-bed system for developing semiconductor quantum bits as well as nanoscale sensors,” said team leader David Awschalom, the Liew Family Professor of Molecular Engineering at UChicago. “Here, we were able to harness light to completely control the quantum state of this defect at extremely high speeds.”


Quantum snapshots

In this new technique, the researchers locate a single NV center and then illuminate it with a pair of extremely short pulses of laser light. Each pulse lasts less than a picosecond (or a millionth of a millionth of a second). The first pulse excites the quantum states of the defect-bound electron, which then change or evolve in characteristic ways. The second pulse stops that evolution, capturing a picture of the quantum state at that elapsed time.

By progressively extending the elapsed time between the two pulses, the team creates a sequence of quantum-state snapshots—a movie of how the quantum state changes in time. The elapsed time can be as short as femtoseconds (a billionth of a millionth of a second) or as long as nanoseconds (a thousandth of a millionth of a second). On the human scale, this range of time is like the difference between an hour and a century.

Having this vast range of timescales makes the technique especially valuable. The electron is susceptible and interacts with its complex local environment in many different ways, each with a characteristic timescale. Being able to test a wide range of these timescales gives a far more complete picture of the dynamics of the NV center than has been obtained previously.

“Our goal was to push the limits of quantum control in these remarkable defect systems,” explained Lee Bassett, co-lead author on the paper and now an assistant professor of electrical and systems engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, “but the technique also provides an exciting new measurement tool. By using pulses of light to direct the defect’s quantum dynamics on super-short timescales, we can extract a wealth of information about the defect and its environment.”

“It’s quite a versatile technique, providing a full picture of the excited state of the quantum defect,” said F. Joseph Heremans, a postdoctoral scholar at UChicago, the other co-lead author on the paper. “Previous work on the nitrogen-vacancy center has hinted at some of these processes, but here, simply through the application of these ultrafast pulses, we get a much richer understanding of this quantum beast.”


Spin control

It’s not just a matter of observation, though. “This technique also provides a means of control of the spin state—an important precursor for any quantum information system,” said Evelyn Hu, a professor of applied physics and electrical engineering at Harvard University, who is not connected with the new work.

In addition, the method is not limited to investigating this particular defect. It could be applied to quantum states of matter in a host of materials and technologies, including many semiconductor materials. “You only have to be able to use light to transfer an electron between a ground state and an excited state,” said Awschalom.

Professor Guido Burkard, theoretical physicist at the University of Konstanz and a co-author on the paper, remarked, “This technique offers a path toward understanding and controlling new materials at the atomic level.”

Hu agrees that the technique opens many new avenues. “Each new system will pose new challenges to understanding the energy levels, local environments, and other properties, but the general approach should provide an enormous step forward for the field,” said Hu.

In addition to researchers from UChicago’s Institute for Molecular Engineering, the team included collaborators at the University of California, Santa Barbara (co-lead author Lee Bassett is now at the University of Pennsylvania), and the University of Konstanz, Germany.— Jane Marie Andrew

Pairing old technologies with new, for 'next generation electronic devices', UCL scientists have discovered a new method to efficiently generate +control currents, based on the magnetic nature of electrons in semi-conducting materials, offering a 'radical way' to develop a new generation of electronic devices - IT/NM/UCL, BERKELEY - Aug 11, 2014
www.ucl.ac.uk/news/news-articles/0814/110814_Spintronics
www.innovationtoronto.com/2014/08/pairing-old-technologies-w…

"UCL scientists have discovered a new method to efficiently generate and control currents based on the magnetic nature of electrons in semi-conducting materials, offering a radical way to develop a new generation of electronic devices.


One promising approach to developing new technologies is to exploit the electron’s tiny magnetic moment, or ‘spin’. Electrons have two properties – charge and spin – and although current technologies use charge, it is thought that spin-based technologies have the potential to outperform the ‘charge’-based technology of semiconductors for the storage and process of information.

In order to utilise electron spins for electronics, or ‘spintronics’, the method of electrically generating and detecting spins needs to be efficient so the devices can process the spin information with low-power consumption. One way to achieve this is by the spin-Hall effect, which is being researched by scientists who are keen to understand the mechanisms of the effect, but also which materials optimise its efficiency. If research into this effect is successful, it will open the door to new technologies.

The spin-Hall effect helps generate ‘spin currents’ which enable spin information transfer without the flow of electric charge currents. Unlike other concepts that harness electrons, spin current can transfer information without causing heat from the electric charge, which is a serious problem for current semiconductor devices. Effective use of spins generated by the spin-Hall effect can also revolutionise spin-based memory applications.

The study published in Nature Materials shows how applying an electric field in a common semiconductor material can dramatically increase the efficiency of the spin-Hall effect which is key for generating and detecting spin from an electrical input.



- We borrowed 50 year old semiconductor phenomena for our modern spintronic research. Our results are the start of the story but are a proof of principle with a promising future for spins.
Dr Hidekazu Kurebayashi -


The scientists reported a 40-times-larger effect than previously achieved in semiconductor materials, with the largest value measured comparable to a record high value of the spin-Hall effect observed in heavy metals such as Platinum. This demonstrates that future spintronics might not need to rely on expensive, rare, heavy metals for efficiency, but relatively cheap materials can be used to process spin information with low-power consumption. ..."

Ceapro - Provides Update on PGX Drying Technology, "Game-Changing Technology, with wide applications for global Bio Industry" - Jun 12, 2014
http://ceapro.com/2014/06/12/ceapro-provides-update-on-pgx-d…

"EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - June 12, 2014) - Ceapro Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CZO) As a follow-up to the general presentation made during the Shareholders meeting held on June 11, 2014, ("Ceapro" or "the Company") is pleased to provide a corporate update with respect to its Pressurized Gas Expansion (PGX) drying technology recently in-licensed from the University of Alberta.

This technology was originally of interest to Ceapro to enable the transition to other sectors like nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals which mostly require the production of dry formulations for tablets and capsules presentations. First experiments were conducted with Ceapro's value driver beta glucan currently extracted from oat with the expectations that dry formulation of oat beta glucan would provide several benefits for Ceapro's existing and new market potential.

Benefits for the existing personal care market include being able to make preservative free product, an increase in shelf life, and a 98% reduction in shipping weights and associated greenhouse gasses by removing the water. A dry formulation would also allow Ceapro to pursue the large nutraceutical and functional food/drink markets where oat beta glucan has a well known health claim for cholesterol reduction. Unfortunately current standard drying technologies like spray drying or freeze drying are not feasible options for oat beta glucan, as well as many other biopolymers. A new technology was then needed, and that new technology is PGX.

Ceapro has been scaling up and refining the drying process to increase efficiency and reduce costs since it began working with the technology in 2010. All the equipment was designed and tested by Ceapro. In late 2013 Ceapro scaled up the technology and achieved a flow rate in excess of 3 metric tonnes per day with the potential to increase the rate to 5 metric tonnes per day. During the scale up work, Ceapro was able to produce a dried product that was in excess of 90% purity and was able to prove the flexibility of this technology to produce dried products of different morphologies including fine powders, granules, micro-fibrils, and nano-scale aerogels. Ceapro was able to produce an optimum dry formulation for the production of tablets and capsules according to pharmaceutical standards. The stage is set for further pre-clinical studies.

As a result of the success with the Ceapro beta glucan scaleup, a decision was made to invest in a commercial drying skid which will be capable of handling all of Ceapro's current oat beta glucan requirements as well as providing additional capacity to seed new market opportunities and demonstrate the technology, at commercial scale, on other biopolymers.


MIT Impregnation Study

Ceapro recently commenced a technical study with the prestigious Boston based Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The objective of that study being to impregnate molecules onto its dry beta glucan. The rationale being that beta glucan has been hypothesized to act as a delivery system and is based on evidence that the PGX technology can allow impregnation of molecules as previously demonstrated with the impregnation of beta-carotene into gum arabic.

The first target molecule was CoQ Enzyme 10, a well known health ingredient. The study was a success and proved that beta glucan could be well impregnated. While the work has not included any molecular characterization or efficacy testing yet, this study demonstrated the tremendous platform potential of the PGX technology to allow Ceapro to develop new products with any number of carriers and active molecules. With respect to beta glucan specifically, we can now look at expanding the use of beta glucan as a delivery system for topical applications given the demonstrated properties of beta glucan to deeply penetrate the skin down to the derm level. Also, upon completion of bioavaialability studies, oral combination of active ingredients impreganted with beta glucan will be considered for time release applications. While this work is still early stage, the technical success is an essential first step to ensure we can make a product. With that in mind, further scientific and efficacy studies will be conducted. "The results of this first impregnation study with this enabling technology is very exciting and opens up many opportunities to develop new products and superior formulations for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors, in line with our stated goals", said Gilles Gagnon, President and CEO of Ceapro.


Other Drying Tests

During 2014, the PGX platform was tested on other compounds to see how the resulting products would work with the technology. The primary intent of this test was to establish the broad application potential of PGX to effectively dry challenging biopolymers and allow for particle morphologies that offered the potential of enhanced performance. Two tests were conducted at Ceapro's lab on materials provided by third parties and both tests proved highly successful. The first one was conducted on chitosan, a well known compound used for wound healing that is most commonly extracted from shellfish. The second test was conducted on nano-crystalline cellulose (CNC), a product which is the focus of much research and development by the forest industry. This CNC product has some tremendous properties but faces drying challenges using current technologies that limits the functionality of the dried product. The ability of PGX to make a nano-particle aerogel product, something not possible with traditional spray drying, may allow for this product to be commercialized with its full potential.

In summary, the ability of PGX to potentially work and add value for other industries who face drying challenges with their biopolymers and biomaterials allows for Ceapro to consider out licencing PGX to third parties and adds to the tremendous potential upside of Ceapro.


Bio World Congress of Industrial Technology(BWC)

Dr. Bernhard Seifried from Ceapro presented the PGX technology at the BWC on May 14 2014 in Philadelphia. This is the largest conference in the world that focuses on the rapidly growing bio-industrial sector that includes alternative fuels, bio-based chemicals, and bio-materials. The presentation was well attended and the technology and samples were of tremendous interest to several multi-nationals who had needs for better performance materials and drying solutions. It is anticipated that several of these meetings will lead to mutually beneficial business opportunities for Ceapro as PGX appears to be able to address certain unmet needs. We are most encouraged by the comments of a representative of a large US based organization after the presentation, "This technology is a winner".


Website Update

Because of the huge potential that PGX represents to Ceapro, we have added a separate PGX section on our website which can be accessed at www.ceapro.com. We encourage readers to review the information and fact sheet posted to learn more about this game changing technology.

"We have a new manufacturing facility coming on stream, sales forecasts suggesting record volumes, increased awareness of our flagship avenanthramides products, and now the tremendous promise of PGX. This is an exciting time for Ceapro's shareholders", added Mr. Gagnon.


About the Technology

This Technology was invented by Dr. Temelli from the Department of Agricultural, Food & Nutritional Science of the University of Alberta along with Dr. Bernhard Seifried, now Senior Researcher at Ceapro.

The technology is called "PGX Technology", a novel spray drying technique for processing water-soluble biopolymers, including oat beta glucan, utilizing the unique and tuneable properties of Pressurized Gas eXpanded liquids. PGX Technology is a platform that can produce numerous morphologies of biopolymers ranging from fine fibres to granular powder, which are highly water soluble and could find commercial success in a wide range of industries including functional foods, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, and pharmaceutical products. This technology operates at lower temperatures than conventional spray drying allowing incorporation of thermosensitive bioactives as well.

Seeing Machines CEO: Latest deal "only scratches the surface" - PAI UK - Sep 3, 2013

- Ian Lyall -
www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/companies/news/47527/seeing-ma…

"Ken Kroger, chief executive of Seeing Machines(LON:SEE), reckons the group is "only scratching the surface" of the driver fatigue market, following the US$1.500.000 deal with BHP Billiton Iron Ore(LON:BHP).


“The mining haul truck market encompasses 40.000 units around the world +they add ~2.000 trucks/year. Currently, there is a " "very small percentage" of those trucks with any sort of fatigue management technology." So, there is "a large market for us to go for",” Kroger told Proactive Investors.

Seeing Machines said the Pilbara trucks will be supported by Caterpillar dealer WestTrac, cementing a deal it has with the maker of these giant vehicles.

The monitoring systems are to be rolled out via the American manufacturer's worldwide dealer network.

Like cars, these mining vehicles are sold by dealers. Unlike the family saloon, @up to US$5.000.000 a pop, these 40 tonne giants are expensive to replace.

This "may explain the growing popularity of the DSS" +why Caterpillar +the miners are "keen to adopt the technology."

“Caterpillar’s endorsement "really validates our technology" +"sends a strong signal to the market", that despite Seeing Machines being a small, Australian-centric organisation, with Caterpillar’s support we "can support a global audience more readily",” Kroger said.

However, broker finnCap " "believes" that eye-tracking that is central to the device’s operation has "far wider" applications, than its current deployment as an in-cab monitor" –the DSS was simply a means of early commercialisation.

So what does that mean? Well, buses, trucks +airliners "all have need for this sort of technology". There are 400.000 lorries here in the UK without fatigue monitors +500.000 coaches throughout the EU –"so, two massive markets."

Currently, Seeing Machines has a trial ongoing in the Netherlands, with a leading bus company.

The next generation of cars are all incorporating a degree of automation(although we are years away from the truly driverless automobile), but central to the development of the next generation of vehicles will be eye-tracking.

“We have trials with tier-one safety suppliers to the automotive market, +"it really is not a case of if, but when the 1st driver monitoring engine will appear in the private car space",” said Kroger.

In home computing +TV, 3D is here +"relies on being able to trick the eye into believing what it is seeing is a multi-dimensional image." +, "you’ve got it -Seeing Machines-style eye-tracking "will be @the heart of the next iterations"."

In fact, the company’s algorithm has already been incorporated in a 3D laptop , developed by Toshiba.

Google Glass is revealing just where the technology is going next. +the applications "are seemingly limittless": for instance, aiding advertisers who want to see whether mobile phone users are actually looking @their pop-ups, or simply zoning out.

“While it is not without challenge it is becoming in the realms of possibility,” Kroger said of the deployment of eye-tracking in mobile telephony.

“We are working with a number of household brand name companies now +"while there is a way to go, I "think we are capable of doing it" ".”

So, this is not just a one trick pony. In fact, "analysts "believe" if this was a Silicon Valley based business, rather than one run from the Australian capital Canberra, its valuation "would be far higher than it is today listed on London’s alternative market"."

@1pm, the stock was up 12.5% @4.5 pence. It has >doubled in value, in the last six months.

Portage la Prairie Looks to Nutrient Recovery Technologies, to Reduce Pollution, Ostara’s Pearl® process to recover phosphorus part of pilot program, Ostara Pearl process 'will not only help the facility meet new phosphorus discharge limits, but would provide an additional source of revenue to the City – all while helping to protect the local watershed'; Kelly Braden: "While the primary goal of this pilot program is to provide 'strategic options', to help us meet nutrient discharge obligations, it also allows us to play an active role in supporting the province’s efforts to reduce the environmental impact of nutrient pollution on the Lake Winnipeg watershed"; Portage la Prairie is a part of the massive lake Winnipeg watershed, which is the focus of a 'concerted provincial environmental policy effort', designed to reduce nutrient runoff entering the Lake. Excess phosphorus contributes to the growth of algae, which chokes off sunlight +oxygen, destroying aquatic life. As part of its 'comprehensive Water Strategy', the province has identified nutrient management initiatives as a key driver of water quality. >55% of the 15.000.000 litres of influent treated every day @the WPCF is industrial wastewater, originating from local food processors, such as Simplot +McCain Foods, +containing significantly higher concentrations of phosphorus +nitrogen, compared to non- industrial sources. According to Braden, the new technologies could help the facility treat these elevated nutrient loads. Ostara’s Pearl® process, recovers "up to" 85% of the phosphorus +25% of the nitrogen from treated wastewater streams, 'helping plants overcome operational issues, caused by the unintentional build-up of struvite scale, a concrete-like mineral deposit caused by excess nutrients that chokes process equipment, increases operating costs, +undermines plant reliability'.

"Investing in science and energy innovation is slowly swinging back into fashion in Silicon Valley. It seems like this is partly because of a backlash against the idea that Silicon Valley hasn’t been funding the world’s more difficult problems, and instead has been making easy money on things like social media apps. However, that doesn’t mean I think these more difficult investments will make investors the type of money that they’re used to.




While apps like Yo continue to get funded, so do, surprisingly, some early stage nuclear energy startups. Earlier this month it was nuclear startup Transatomic Power with funding from Founders Fund, and this week Tech Crunch reports that a nuclear startup called Helion Energy has raised $1.5 million from Y Combinator and Mithril Capital Management. Y Combinator, of course, is the accelerator program that has become synonymous with the quick-flip, social media apps of the last few years. Mithril is a growth stage investment firm.




Helion Energy is developing nuclear fusion technology, which has long been the holy grail of energy, and scientists have spent billions of dollars researching it for over 60 years. While traditional nuclear fission works by splitting atoms, nuclear fusion works by joining two atoms together, unleashing lots of light and heat. At its core, this is how the Sun works.

While fusion has worked in labs, the big trick is to get fusion to happen without requiring more energy to start it up than is delivered. Earlier this year Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers said they’d reached that milestone: the fuel used to create fusion in their reactor was indeed capable of producing more energy, than it required to launch .

Helion Energy is looking to use its fusion reactors to one day build smaller more distributed power plants. We covered the startup back in 2009, when it was looking to raise a $20 million round. Helion Energy’s then-President Philip Wallace told us back then that the company planned to build a full-scale prototype by 2011 or 2012, and a commercial engine within a “decade.” The company has been trying to raise tens of millions of dollars over the years, which has probably been a particularly hard task given that venture capitalists spent 2010 to 2013 shying awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay from these more risky energy investments.



- A close up Transatomic Power’s nuclear reactor design, image courtesy of Transatomic. -


Helion Energy was founded by four scientists at MSNW, a spin-off from the University of Washington. The company won an award from the Cleantech Open last year and also received $4 million from the Department of Energy.

Just to make clear, $1.5 million from Y Combinator and Mithril is a drop in the bucket for a nuclear startup. The company will need a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooot more money than that to get anywhere close to commercialization. Other nuclear startups that tech investors have shown interest in include TerraPower, backed by Bill Gates, and General Fusion, backed by VCs and Jeff Bezos.

The traditional nuclear industry is in a dire state right now, following the Fukushima disaster in Japan. French nuclear giant Areva just posted a truly abysmal quarter. That desperate state could be both good and bad for nuclear tech innovators. Nuclear companies might feel the need to invest in the next-generation of nuclear tech to help revitalize it. But then again, lacking funds, might lead to less R&D, not more.

At the same time, nuclear energy is starting to see growing public support now that several years have passed after Fukushima and that climate change is becoming an increaaaaaaaasingly worrisome issue. While many environmentalists have been staunchly anti-nuclear, because of the waste and exposure issues, more and more environmentalists are starting to support nuclear as one of the only carbon emissions-free forms of base load power.

University unveils new air purifier technology, Chinese researchers have developed a new technology, to clean up indoor air pollution that avoids 2ndary pollution that existing air purification products in the market can create if used improperly - CD/SoME/SJTU, SHANGHAI - Jul 1, 2014

"

- A member of the Shanghai Jiao Tong University research team that invented a new air-purifying device demonstrates the machine. The device’s technology can prevent secondary pollution that existing air purifiers can create if not used properly. Du Xin / for China Daily -


Innovation removes pollutants, by electrostatic +catalytic processes

Chinese researchers have developed a new technology to clean up indoor air pollution that avoids secondary pollution that existing air purification products in the market can create if used improperly.

The new air purifier, developed by a research team from the School of Mechanical Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, removes indoor pollutants from air through physical and chemical methods.

Professor Shangguan Wenfeng, who led the research project, said at a news conference on Monday that current air purifiers clean the air mainly by absorption and filtering, but this technique has problems.

“For example, the filter needs to be replaced regularly because it will easily reach the saturation point, which might lead to further pollution,” he said.

Also, while some machines cannot filter smaller pollutants well, the school’s new technology overcomes that shortcoming, he said.

The new technology removes indoor pollutants through high-voltage electrostatic and catalytic purification.

The electrostatics process the PM2.5 — airborne particles smaller than 2.5 micrometers that can go deep into the lungs — and other air pollutants from outdoors.

During this process, volatile organic compounds and a small amount of ozone are produced. The second, catalysis module transforms these harmful organic compounds and ozone into harmless carbon dioxide and water.

A test was conducted during the news conference. Because Shanghai air quality was classified as “good” at the time, researchers made a smoggy indoor environment in a 30-square-meter room by lighting six cigarettes. The PM2.5 reading soon reached 700 micrograms per cubic meter, far exceeding the index limit level of 500.

When the machine was switched on, the particles in the room gradually disappeared, with the reading less than 100 within an hour.

Another innovation of the air purifier is that it allows air circulation between indoors and outdoors. Indoor air is circulated with outside air through a ventilation pipe at the bottom of the machine.

“Even in heavy smoggy weather, the indoor air will continue circulating and be cleaned. This technology is not available in existing machines on the market,” Shangguan said.

Yang Xin, an environmental expert at Fudan University, expressed optimism about the invention.

“In recent years, air cleaners have become more and more popular among residents. A well-designed air purifier will undoubtedly play an important role in improving air quality,” he said.

Poor air quality has been heatedly discussed by the public recently as smog enveloped many cities in autumn and winter. PM2.5 has become the country’s primary polluter and also the main source of indoor air pollution.

In Beijing, the average PM2.5 reading in 2013 was more than double the national standard, according to a Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau report earlier this month.

On average, heavy air pollution occurred every six or seven days in the city, said Zhang Dawei, director of the Beijing Environmental Monitoring Center.

Shanghai, a city whose air was once considered clean, saw its Air Quality Index reach nearly 500 on Dec 6. An index reading over 300 is considered “hazardous”, the highest in a six-tier rating system of air quality.

Persistent smog across the country has prompted a surge in sales of dust masks and air cleaners. Sales of air-cleaning machines in 2013 increased 420 percent year-on-year, according to JD.com, China’s e-commerce giant.

“So far, this technology is very developed, and it has already been awarded a patent. We are now looking for manufacturers to help bring this product to market,” Shangguan said.

The research team said the retail price of the new air purifier would be competitive with similar machines on the market from big international brands like Blueair, Daikin, Philips and Siemens. The price is expected to be 3,000 yuan ($496) to 6,000 yuan depending on the size of the room it’s used for. "

- This wide field-of-view image photographed by an Expedition 38 crew member on the ISS shows an east-west swath of the southwestern Indian Ocean on January 28, 2014. Two remote islands, part of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands, appear in the center of the image. Possession Island (right center) and East Island (center) are both only 18 kilometers long. A smaller island, Ile aux Cochons (Pigs Island), lies 100 kilometers to the west. Each island has set up V-shaped trains of waves, like bow waves, as the air flows over the islands from the west (right to left). The bow-wave patterns are overlaid on the low regional stratus (blanket) cloud that is so common in the southern Indian Ocean at 50 degrees south latitude. This view was taken from more than 400 kilometers above the sea surface and reveals relationships that could not be readily understood by someone standing on one of the islands. For example, larger and higher islands produce larger waves. So the largest are being generated by Possession Island (934 meters above sea level at the highest point), and East Island, versus much smaller waves developed downwind of the tiny Ile de Pingouins (340 meters above sea level high, invisible below the cloud deck).

- The darkness of North Korea. Flying over East Asia, an Expedition 38 crew member on the ISS took this night image of the Korean Peninsula on January 30, 2014. Unlike daylight images, city lights at night illustrate dramatically the relative economic importance of cities, as gauged by relative size. In this north-looking view, it is immediately obvious that greater Seoul, South Korea, is a major city and that the port of Gunsan is minor by comparison. North Korea (center) is almost completely dark compared to neighboring South Korea and China (upper left). The darkened land appears as if it were a patch of water joining the Yellow Sea to the Sea of Japan. The capital city, Pyongyang (center), appears like a small island, despite a population of 3.26 million (as of 2008). The light emission from Pyongyang is equivalent to the smaller towns in South Korea. Coastlines are often very apparent in night imagery, as shown by South Korea's eastern shoreline. But the coast of North Korea is difficult to detect. These differences are illustrated in per capita power consumption in the two countries, with South Korea at 10,162 kilowatt hours and North Korea at 739 kilowatt hours. (NASA) -

- As the ISS passed over the deserts of central Iran, including Kavir, one of the Expedition 38 crew members used a digital camera equipped with a 200mm lens to record this image featuring an unusual pattern of numerous parallel lines and sweeping curves on February 14, 2014. The lack of soil and vegetation allows the geological structure of the rocks to appear quite clearly. According to geologists, the patterns result from the gentle folding of numerous, thin, light and dark layers of rock. Later erosion by wind and water cuts a flat surface across the folds, not only exposing hundreds of layers but also showing the shapes of the folds. The dark water of a lake (image center) occupies a depression in a more easily eroded, S-shaped layer of rock. The irregular light-toned patch just left of the lake is a sand sheet thin enough to allow the underlying rock layers to be detected. In this desert landscape there are no fields or roads to give a sense of scale. In fact, the image width represents a distance of 65 kilometers. (NASA) -

Bazman volcano is located in a remote southern region within the Bazman Protected Area of Sistan and Baluchestan Provinces. While the volcano has the classic cone shape associated with stratovolcanoes, it is also heavily dissected by channels that extend downwards from the 3,490-meter-above-sea-level summit. This radial drainage pattern - looking similar to the spokes of a bicycle wheel - is readily observed in this photograph. Such patterns can form around high, symmetric peaks when water runoff and erosion is not constrained by the resistance of geologic materials or barriers to flow, leading to essentially even distribution of water runoff channels around the central peak.

Scientists Create 'Autonomous Transformer ' - RCS/MIT/SM/WI, MASSACHUCHETTS - Aug 7, 2014

In the latest action-packed Transformers film, scientists manipulate an element unsurprisingly dubbed Transformium to create their own metamorphosing robots. Mayhem, mediocre acting, and gratuitous product placement ensues.

Transformium is uuunlikely to be discovered anytime soon (or ever, for that matter), but that haaaaaaaasn't stopped real-life roboticists from trying to devise their own transformers. So far, most of their advances have been limited to the nanoscale, require significant manual assembly, or create only simplistic geometric shapes. Not exactly Optimus Prime.

While Decepticons and Autobots are still firmly in the realm of science fiction, engineers at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have taken transforming robots to a new level, creating an origami inspired robot that can transform from a flat piece of material to an insect-like walking robot with no outside interference. The team's efforts are detailed in the journal Science.

To accomplish the feat, the engineers devised a five-layered composite material composed of two layers of paper, one of polyimide with a copper circuit, and two of prestretched polystyrene. The latter material is designed to bend in one direction when heated to 100 degrees Celsius. When completely folded, heat is removed and the new joint hardens. The complete transformation takes four and a half minutes and finishes after five steps. Small motors then kick in which allow the robot to crawl at speeds of about 5.4 centimeters per second.

Three robots were created. Two failed to transform completely due to the failure of a single fold. But the third was a success.

"The robot self-assembled in 270 seconds, after which time it was able to walk without further manual intervention," the researchers describe.

The folding process can be accelerated as well. By applying larger current at a higher voltage, folds could take three seconds instead of forty-five. The robot could be up and walking in under a minute.

Apart from creating cool-looking robots and arousing the hopes of nerds everywhere, the technique does have practical potential. The researchers hope to build satellites that assemble themselves in space, adapt the technique to create rapid prototypes of electrical or mechanical systems, or -- and this is the big one -- create IKEA-style furniture that assembles itself!

Sadly, giant, laser-toting transformers are still a ways off. However, the engineers unintentionally (or intentionally?) embedded a bit of an Easter egg in their printed circuit board design, which conspicuously resembles the Autobot insignia...

1st Interstellar Dust Brought Back, to Earth - RS/NASA/SM/UCLB - Aug 14, 2014

Fifteen years ago, the Stardust spacecraft blasted off from Cape Canaveral with the goal of collecting the tiny particles adrift in the ocean of space: cosmic dust.

In 2000 and 2002, Stardust opened its aerogel collectors wide in the hopes of catching some of that dust. Two years later, the spacecraft encountered the comet Wild 2 and began tailing the object like a bicyclist drafting a competitor. With its collectors open once again, the spacecraft basked in the nebulous coma of the comet, aiming to catch any particles shedding away.

When Stardust passed by Earth in 2006, the vessel dropped off a precious package, a capsule containing the aerogel collectors, hopefully plastered with dust particles from beyond our solar system. "Dropped" is a bit of an understatement. The capsule plummeted through Earth's atmosphere at a velocity of 12.9 kilometers per second, the fastest reentry speed ever achieved by a man-made object. Peak deceleration was measured at 34 gs. Luckily, the collectors were packed nice and tight; they were just fine. NASA scientists took them to a specially designed clean room to minimize contamination and found a million microscopic specks of dust embedded in the aerogel. A tad overwhelmed, they opened up the process of analyzing the specks to citizen scientists via Stardust@Home. Naming themselves "Dusters," the volunteers scanned magnified images to identify trails in the aerogel much thinner than a human hair. Once the trails were identified, NASA scientists extracted and analyzed them.




Today, after eight years, the Stardust team has officially announced in the journal Science that seven of those one million tiny specks are -- very probably -- interstellar dust.

The seven particles, all on the picogram scale (one-trillionth of a gram!) are incredibly diverse . One, named "Sorok," is composed of magnesium and iron-rich silicates. Two others, "Hylabrook" and "Orion," sport an olivine core surrounded by other trace elements like silicon and manganese. The larger pieces are fluffy like snowflakes, lead author and UC-Berkeley physicist Andrew Westphal said.




Additional tests are underway that will further confirm that the particles are of interstellar origin.

The universe is in a constant state of recycling, and cosmic dust allows us to trace the process. Often exploded from supernovae or exuded from waning red giant stars, dust particles can later join together to form new planets and stars.

Besides allowing us to characterize the properties of interstellar dust, NASA believes that the miniscule grains described today could help reveal the secrets of the stars and elucidate the creation of chemical elements .

UPDATE - Sunrise Resources: Sampling " "suggests" 'large tonnage deposit', @County Line" - PAIUK - Aug 15, 2014

- Giles Gwinnett -
www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/71320/update-sun…

"Sunrise Resources (LON:SRES) says latest sampling results from its diatomite project in Nevada, USA, support the potential for a large tonnage deposit.

The results have come from eight samples over a wide area.

Sunrise's executive chairman Patrick Cheetham said: "I am pleased to report that broader spaced sampling of the County Line Diatomite Deposit has shown it to be of a consistent quality over a large surface area with samples taken up to 2.5 km apart.

"We are moving quickly with our evaluation of this deposit as we see potential for a large resource of diatomite. Drilling and/or trenching is now justified to collect larger samples for further mineral process test work to evaluate and optimise the application of this diatomite in various filler and filter applications."

Diatomite is a chemical used as a filter to make beer, liquor, wine, fats, fruit juices, and solvents; it is also chemically inert, which makes it useful as an industrial filler in paint and plastics and as a carrier material.

The project consists of 61 claims over five sq km, 200km southeast of the city of Reno, Nevada, USA.
Broker Northland said: "These early stage results from Sunrise Resources demonstrate that further tests are required before the company can be certain on the potential end uses of a diatomite product from the County Line deposit."

Sunrise shares surged 20% Friday to stand at 0.45p.


Profile

Sunrise Resources plc is an AIM-quoted diversified mineral exploration and development company. The Company's objective is to develop profitable mining operations to sustain the Company's wider exploration efforts and create value for shareholders through the discovery of world-class deposits.

Xenetic Bio "in 'landmark tie-up', with Baxter" - PAIUK - Jan 30, 2014

- I. Lyall -
www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/65356/xenetic-bi…

"Xenetic Biosciences (OTCBB:GAIFD) has unveiled a collaboration with the American healthcare giant Baxter with a headline value of US$110mln.


This figure includes a US$10mln direct investment, adding to Baxter’s shareholding in Xenetic, and an amended licence deal that includes milestone payments totalling US$100mln as well as substantial royalties on sales.

The pair have been collaborating since 2005 on the 'next generation blood clotting agents' to treat haemophilia.




“We are extremely pleased by Baxter’s commitment to an increased shareholding in Xenetic and to our longstanding collaboration to develop polysialylated blood coagulation factors using Xenetic’s unique technology,” said chief executive Scott Maguire.

While the details of the agreement with the Deerfield, Illinois-based giant are cloaked in commercial confidentiality, it is clear the collaboration has significant potential.

Brian Goff, head of Baxter’s haemophilia organisation, said: “Through our Xenetic partnership, we are seeking to identify and develop a treatment that the majority of haemophilia patients could administer less frequently, potentially at once weekly intervals, without compromising efficacy.

“Our investment in Xenetic reflects our continued commitment to the haemophilia community and to our pursuit of a bleed-free world."

Agreements of this kind are what companies at Xenetic’s formative stage of development strive for – a larger partner with the financial muscle to take a drug through the expensive clinical trial process.

The equity investment, which will make Baxter Xenetic’s second largest shareholder, will allow the latter to invest in the other drugs in its portfolio.

The largest investor remains an entity owned by Rusnano, the Russian state sovereign fund tasked with accessing the world’s leading technologies and developing these technologies for the Russian market.

The third largest shareholder is the Serum Institute of India, one of the world’s largest vaccine companies and India’s largest biotech company.

Xenetic's most promising potential products are ErepoXen, an improved form of erythropoietin (EPO) for the treatment of anaemia in pre-dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease, and OncoHist, which is being developed for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).

It has orphan designation in the US and Europe for this indication and is currently in phase II clinical trials in Russia for AML and non-Hodgkins lymphoma.

The Baxter announcement marks a very positive start to life for Xenetic as a US listed-biopharma, after migrating this week from AIM to OTCBB.

It believes relocating to America will give its portfolio greater visibility with a more savvy investor base.

CEO Maguire said recently: "Our rapidly filling out product pipeline underlines the desirability of our strategy of moving the core operations of the company to the US, where the expertise and financial support is significantly more developed for biotechnology companies at our stage of growth."

It is fast becoming one of the sector’s most active junior drug developers.

In December, it announced PulmoXen, a next generation variant of Roche’s Pulmozyme for the orphan disease cystic fibrosis, and PSA-Oxyntomodulin, for early stage type-two diabetes, were both entering phase I clinical trials, to test safety and tolerability.

They are being developed with its Russian partner Pharmsynthez, one of Russia’s largest biotech companies.

In total, the pair has five clinical trials underway including a novel multiple sclerosis vaccine, MyeloXen, which is in phase II clinical trials, to test for efficacy, having successfully completed phase I clinical trials.

Running clinical trials in Russia through its licence partners allows Xenetic to adopt a derisking strategy to drug development, whereby the company awaits clinical data on its partners' trials before commencing trials in the US and Europe, a very novel strategy that allows the company to move forward with a degree of confidence into clinical trials.

There are a total of 10 such products licensed into Russia so their pipeline potential is well beyond their peer group.

Niche orphan drugs like those for cystic fibrosis and AML tend to be fast tracked to market by regulators as there is often an unmet medical need addressing a very small patient population.

The two drug candidates along with ErepoXen which is in phase II in Australia, New Zealand and India and phase III in Russia, form the backbone of the Xenetic portfolio.

Tissue Regenix 'gets UK green light, for knee repair trial' - PAIUK - Jul 30, 2014

- John Harrington -
www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/70810/tissue-reg…

"Tissue Regenix Group (LON:TRX) has received regulatory approval to start the first UK clinical trial of its dCELL meniscal device to aid knee repairs.

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has given the green light to the regenerative medical devices company and once final tests and preparations have been completed, it is expected the trial will start in the final quarter of this year.

Tissue Regenix says approval of the trial marks a critical stage towards gaining EU clearance, including the CE Mark that signifies a product meets required EU safety and health requirements, and ultimately full commercialisation of the dCELL meniscus in Europe.

Tissue Regenix's dCELL meniscus will be used to repair damage from tears in the meniscus knee cartilage as a result of acute injury or degeneration.




The demand for the product is potentially huge, with meniscal injuries affecting around 1.5 million people per year in Europe and USA.

"Meniscus problems in the UK are undoubtedly increasing. I personally conduct 300-400 meniscal surgeries per year, and have seen a real surge in such injuries in recent years, mainly down to the uptake of sport by the British population,” revealed David Houlihan-Bourne, the principle investigator for the UK dCELL study.

“At present, we do not have an effective solution for meniscal replacement, which is why I am extremely excited to be involved in the UK trial for Tissue Regenix's dCELL meniscus. Unlike current synthetic products, Tissue Regenix's porcine meniscus looks and feels exactly like a human meniscus," he added.

The good news for Tissue Regenix did not stop there, with the company disclosing that commercialisation of its DermaPure decellularised dermal allograft, which was launched in June in the USA in conjunction with Tissue Regenix's partner Community Tissue Services, is proceeding steadily, with initial orders having been shipped to customers.

In addition, two of the sites participating in the US diabetic foot ulcer randomised control clinical trial for DermaPure are actively screening patients for enrolment following their recent site initiation visits (SIVs). The clinical trial will have up to nine sites enrolling patients. The remaining sites will have their SIV over the coming weeks, the company revealed.

Antony Odell, chief executive officer of Tissue Regenix, was heartened by the validation of the quality of the company’s product line.

“We feel the dCELL meniscus has the potential to provide a ground breaking new approach to help permanently replace damaged meniscus and return patients to full mobility,” he told investors.

"We are equally encouraged by the early interest in DermaPure, since its US launch in June. We have already received orders and are encouraged by progress in the enrolment of patients into human trials in the US. We look forward to gaining additional hospital new product evaluation committee approvals as a trigger for further product adoption.”

Epistem Holdings "signs 'landmark deal', with medical fund" - PAIUK - Jul 22, 2014

- P. Whiterow -
www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/70574/epistem-ho…

"Epistem (LON:EHP) has agreed a landmark collaboration and funding deal with the Global Health Investment Fund to help launch its tuberculosis diagnostic platform in the world’s poorest countries.

Under the agreement, GHIF will lend Epistem US$8mln via a five-year convertible bond on favourable interest and conversion terms and support and facilitate the introduction, distribution and sale of the Genedrive platform around the world.

For its part, Epistem has agreed to make the platform affordable for patients in low- and middle-income countries.

Genedrive is a handheld tool that can diagnose TB within 30 minutes and that has been predicted to revolutionise the diagnosis of the disease in the third world.



- Epistem has agreed to make the platform available for sale with a pricing framework that reflects the needs of poor patients in low- and middle-income countries. -


Trials are currently ongoing in five countries, including India and Nigeria, after which regulatory submissions will be filed ahead of a global access and roll-out of the TB test.

GHIF, an investment fund set up to fund treatments for diseases associated with the poorest countries, such as tuberculosis, malaria, HIV/Aids and infant mortality, has agreed a conversion price of 489p on the bond, more than 50% higher than yesterday’s share price close, while the coupon is 5%.

According to GHIF, nearly 10mln cases of tuberculosis are reported annually resulting in approximately 1mln premature deaths each year.

Christopher Egerton-Warburton of GHIF said: “Epistem has sought to improve this situation with its Genedrive platform and as a result the GHIF is delighted to make this our first investment."

Company Q&A: Silence Therapeutics "@"cutting edge" of technology +invention, saaaaays CEO" - PAIUK - May 7, 2014

- Sarah Lowther -
www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/68296/company-qa…

"Biotech group Silence Therapeutics (LON:SLN) has successfully shown gene knockdown in non-human primates using its RNA lung delivery system called DACC. Proactive Investors (PI) recently caught up with chief executive Ali Mortazavi (AM) to find out what "gene knockdown" is and what this latest milestone means to the company.


PI: Can you explain, in layman’s terms, what gene knockdown means and why it's significant?

AM: In simple terms, gene knockdown is taking a high level of gene expression to a lower level. The basic principles behind that are that, in biology, when genes get over expressed or they’re at a higher level than they normally should be, more proteins are made than should be.

So, the theory behind it is, if you manage to inhibit - take down - the gene expression to a more normal level, or sometimes to no level at all, the bad proteins stop being made. Thereby you have a therapeutic effect on diseases.


PI: Having moved on from rats to non-human primates, what sort of timeframe are we looking at for the commencement of testing DACC on humans?

AM: It’s important to note that our delivery technology has got a central core to it and the technology behind that is called AtuFECT. That forms the basis of all our delivery technologies.

We have three distinct delivery technologies. One is systemic delivery to what’s called the vasculature - that’s called the AtuPLEX. One, as you just said, is called DACC, and is to the lung endothelial.

One is called DBTC and that’s to the liver and the hepatocytes.

At the centre of all the technologies is this technology which we’ve invented called AtuFECT.

Just to go through those individually, one by one. In AtuPLEX, the systemic delivery system, we have successfully been through the different hoops to, if you like, validate our delivery. One is in in vitro cell culture and then what we call in vivo in mice and rodent models. We’ve successfully shown gene knockdown and correct delivery there. We’ve shown it in non-human primates and actually, currently, we’re in humans in a Phase 2a setting in pancreatic cancer.

AtuPLEX, the systemic delivery has, if you like, got all the badges of a delivery system with human validation of safety and efficacy.

To move that on to DACC. Again, if you can imagine these are a series of tick boxes, we obviously have the in vitro cell culture tick box. We have the rodents, in mice or rats, as you said, and now we have the non-human primate data.

Again, because of the central core, there’s a very similar technology between all three delivery systems, so we’re confident that the translation to humans will come and DACC forms a basis of what we call our Atu111 Acute lung injury or ARDS indication, which we’re hoping to come into play around the second half of 2015.


PI: It looks like we’re seeing a significant upsurge in interest from the market in the area of medical research in which Silence specialises. Does this enhance your company’s chances of continuing to go it alone?

AM: I think there are two sides of that coin. We were lucky and unlucky in the sense that we started our capital raise at the beginning of a major surge in our particular sector of RNA interference.

Over US$1 billion of capital was raised by our competitors in the US. Unfortunately, we also seem to have, at the same time, walked into a very major correction in biotechnology. We’ve been in the eye of the storm.

Nevertheless, at this point in time, I think in terms of a shareholder of this company and the technology of this company, it’s fair to say, 18 months ago this company, I think, had an enterprise value of US$5 million and no capital whatsoever. Today, it’s got a healthy amount of capital, something in the region of £120 million and £30 million of net cash.

We’re spending something in the region of £6 million/ £6.5 million of operating cash burn a year - that’s excluding clinical trials.

We could have three or four year’s money, which for a science and innovation company, a lot can happen in three or four years. We’re at the cutting edge of, if you like, in technology and invention and the clinical trial systems. No question. The time value alone, let alone the fact that we can actually progress our programmes on our own is of immense value.


PI: You’re talking about money. Recently you raised £11.4 million, what are you going to use that for?

AM: For us, the business plan, I think I said it in our statement; Silence is going through a pretty typical transformation and morphing from a technology company into a product company.

Maybe some of your readers are more familiar with traditional technology companies, such as the IT ones. It happens all the time. People have great technologies and to make the transition from that into a product company is obviously the acid test of success.

A company like Google, a fantastic search [engine], but at some point it has to translate that into an advertising strategy. In drug development, technology has to translate into making commercial drugs. That’s a path we’re headlong and fast going down - of tailoring our technologies to the best indications.


Profile

Flux Power(R) Develops 48-Volt Lithium Battery Array to Power Three-Ton Robot, for Underground Mining +Excavation, "Underscores Scalability of Flux Lithium Battery Solutions for Larger Commercial Applications"; Penguin Automated Systems Inc. selected Flux in Dec '13 to design, engineer +produce a rugged, high-voltage power solution, that could meet the challenging environmental +performance requirements of remote subterranean operations. Field-testing of the robot will commence this fall with a Penguin mining industry customer in South America. Pending a successful outcome of initial trials, Flux Power "would" be well positioned to support any subsequent commercial rollouts; Ron Dutt: "This development "demonstrates our ability to scale-up our lithium power solutions for new, larger +more demanding applications, including the exciting field of automated guided vehicles (AGV)". This '48V/48kw battery array' includes two 24V battery packs +weighs in @>1.600 lbs. It is our largest +highest-power solution to date, building on our 24V +36V storage solutions developed for lift trucks, tug & tow vehicles +portable storage. Our 48V solution harnesses the same lithium technology as our other packs, to provide a lighter, more compact +cost effective solution than equivalent lead-acid storage alternatives. Lithium's energy storage efficiency has allowed us to deliver a 48V/48Kw solution that is <half the size +weight of a comparable lead-acid battery, "making it a 'critical enabling technology' for this 'state of the art robotic device'. This delivery to Penguin is another example of the ability of Flux Power to create 'more productive +ower cost battery storage solutions' for large scale industrial equipment." - Aug 21, 2014

Lightwave Logic Provides Open Letter to Shareholders, Summarizing Business +Scientific Developments, During 1st Half of '14 - Jul 21 2014
www.lightwavelogic.com/open-letter-to-shareholders-summarizi…


"Dear Shareholders,

I would like to take this opportunity to update you on the progress we have made with Lightwave Logic’s business efforts and scientific advancements. The recent successes we have achieved in polymer material science along with several photonic devices under development have fostered a tremendously contagious spirit of optimism that pervades the Company.

Since I took over the operational helm as CEO, we carefully analyzed the business, surveyed the market landscape, and made key investments in the tools needed to achieve the goals that will enhance shareholder value. We have succeeded in rationalizing external collaborations, relocated the corporate headquarters and optical test facility to Colorado, added two highly talented synthetic chemists and yet another world-class independent director, George Lauro. With these actions and additions, we have enhanced our material and prototype device development, partnership opportunities, re-focused on potential acquisition targets and dramatically advanced down the road to commercialization of our polymers. Although we accomplished some, but not all our goals for the first half of 2014, we continue to make steady progress enabled by our previous groundwork and have mitigated some of the technical and commercial risk in this very difficult technical space.

Also, we have just completed a successful private securities offering where we obtained the necessary operating capital and R&D funds that should keep us in good financial condition through the end of 2015 while further positioning the Company for success.

We envision ourselves as a Company developing the next generation of organic polymer photonic devices to not only outperform currently installed legacy devices based on inorganic crystals like lithium niobate, but also to dramatically improve cost performance benefits for the end user. Organics offer a continuous pathway to performance improvements through highly innovative scientific practices and technical know-how. We want to become the “Intel®” of photonic chips and devices!

There is tremendous pent-up industry demand for Lightwave Logic’s technologies to satisfy market requirements that demand smaller, faster and less expensive photonic devices. Our development roadmap is precisely geared to satisfy those needs in several different verticals.

Ultimately, the problem we are trying to solve is speeding up the interface between end user demand that continues to strain the massive data centers that service the “cloud” for representative companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Intel, IBM, Netflix and many more. Our target customers are the suppliers of photonic devices for these companies and their data centers.

In the near term, we are leveraging our material platform to create integrated photonic transceivers, photonic switches, modulators and related devices for high-speed fiber-optic telecom and data communications. Combined, this is an $8 billion addressable market opportunity for our Company.

In the long term, we are extending our materials platform into large commercial sectors that include biosensors, high-speed optical computing, optical switches and routers, optical filters, quantum computing and photovoltaic cells. Collectively, these commercial sectors add many billions of dollars to the markets Lightwave can address.


Business Overview

Many years ago, several large Fortune 500-sized companies made the business decision to abandon their R&D efforts in the organic polymer field because the market wasn’t ready for polymer technologies and they couldn’t see a short term return on their investment — fast-forward to today. The unprecedented explosion in demand for bandwidth has created an enormous opportunity for a replacement technology. Interestingly, while attending the Optical Fiber Conference in San Francisco this past February, several device companies stated both publicly and to me personally that they were now starting to look seriously at the viability of organic polymers to break through today’s current cost/performance barriers that are preventing the proliferation of leading edge disruptive technologies. Our ability to stay the course and make progress over the years has not gone unnoticed and it fortuitously has positioned us perfectly for what these industry leaders now recognize as the inevitable move to polymers. Imagine what would happen if the data communications/telecommunications businesses could no longer profitably meet the technical challenges needed to keep up with the seemingly endless growth in demand for storage and bandwidth? Your continuing support as shareholders has contributed enormously to our successes and enables the development to prosper.

Lightwave Logic remains in the forefront of electro-optical and all-optical polymer research with over 10 years of development behind us. That has energized our team to aggressively seek several industry partners for joint development activities. Our newest independent director, George Lauro, has formulated an industry engagement plan that has already been put into action. George’s expertise in taking products from R&D to commercialization along with his vast photonics industry connections is bearing fruit. We have already received interest from several potential partners that could significantly help us move multiple projects forward in parallel rather than in sequence, as well as provide a seamless pathway to a ready customer for the finished product.

In addition, we have continued to identify several potential acquisition targets with which we will be engaging. We remain convinced that an acquisition would be the fastest way to revenue with an established customer base and at the same time being able to leverage personnel synergies.

Most of our discussions with potential customers have centered on their desire for innovative polymer waveguides, optical modules, transceivers and lower cost packaging solutions. They are impressed by the potential for enormous built-in cost and performance advantages, and when demonstrated, will help ensure ultimate implementation. The first prototype Silicon Organic Hybrid (SOH) device from this effort could function as the heart for movement of vast amounts of information around the data center and for the other photonic applications. Initial demand for 100 Gb/s configured devices could be in the millions of units per year for what would be considered a first generation device. We see a product development cycle starting with version 1.0 with subsequent versions evolving along with market demands.

Throughout the last year and half we have successfully transitioned Lightwave Logic from a company solely focused on chemical synthesis to a device company with major photonic device programs in key targeted high-value markets.


Material Advancements

To make these devices competitive, it is vital that our materials exceed current inorganic material capabilities. Initial results from the first two materials of our newly devised and announced multi-chromophore methodology have so far been very encouraging. We previously reported that the first material offspring, Perkinamine MalachiteTM, has been operating in one of our thin film devices for over six months in our new lab in Longmont, Colorado with virtually no relaxation of the molecular arrangement and at approximately twice the electro-optic effect of legacy, inorganic-based modulator devices. We are now working to perfect the production process to get the desired replication required for commercialization. There currently are several versions of MalachiteTM in production and more importantly, our multi-chromophore methodology holds the potential for almost endless generations of performance improvement.

Also during the first quarter, we entered into a sole worldwide license with Corning Inc., to obtain the rights to use their portfolio of patented chromophores within a “Licensed Field” which means communications, computing, power, and power storage applications that employ the nonlinear optical properties of the licensed materials. This, along with the work Lightwave research scientists have accomplished significantly advances our electro-optic polymer material platform and we continue to synthesize other unique materials with even more promising characteristics. We firmly believe this will ensure the ultimate success and the sustainability of the device program currently underway.

In conversation with industry experts and our own subject matter experts, we have determined that in order to compete in the photonics market, our materials must have the following device characteristics when compared to legacy devices:




Lightwave Logic has been engineering and developing nonlinear polymers to optimize these optical, thermal and other performance characteristics listed above. This growing family of proprietary materials (PerkinaminesTM) are demonstrating significant advantages over the currently imbedded materials and devices and could make possible the world’s first terabit/sec transceivers manufactured via high volume, low cost, high yield processes that can be coated on a large variety of chips making integrated photonic systems on chips (SoC’s) a reality. These will ultimately become compact on-chip solutions integrated with thin film polymer coatings on silicon.


Device Program

We have carefully chosen an ordered progression of component and device development that actually began with the creation of our new multi-chromophore chemical synthesis process. There is a strong interrelationship between the devices and components that we are currently testing and intend to test. The completion of each successful step in the progression substantially eliminates technical risk of the end goal — producing an integrated photonic system.

Our development plan has us on a path to demonstrate a Multi-Integrated Nano-Photonic Transceiver (MINT) that will essentially incorporate all of the devices and components preceding it such as waveguide modulators and high-speed hybrid modulators. This device is intended to represent a technological quantum leap forward with the potential to revolutionize datacom and telecom systems. This is not only due to inherently lower power requirements and ultra-fast data rates, but also because it would also eliminate the need for an entire layer of network architecture that currently connects millions of servers-to-servers in cloud computing and telecom data centers worldwide. While we have already begun this revolutionary design, we need to walk before we can run. The journey began last fall when we demonstrated that we could successfully modulate light in a slot waveguide modulator.

We hope to have additional quantifiable results once we receive our wafers (chips) from IMEC in Belgium and OpSIS at the University of Delaware. After receipt of the chips, we will begin the production of commercial “bread-board” prototypes to present to potential partners and collaborators. Both providers have informed us of delays in the production of our chips to late summer or early fall. While this obviously pushes out our slot waveguide modulator development timeline, the good news is that we have found an alternative opportunity to test our newer materials in an existing slot waveguide modulator design owned by a third party. We are also working on a bleached waveguide modulator and an all-optical switch with the University of Colorado and Boulder Nonlinear Systems to demonstrate our device’s performance parameters. We hope to have results from these efforts later this summer.


The following list of components and devices captures the key elements of our product development efforts:

30-100 Gb/sec Telecom Bleached Waveguide Modulator

This photonic device concept is being developed in close partnership with our University of Colorado collaborators and is the least infrastructure intensive of the waveguide technologies currently available for creating telecom specific modulator products. It allows us to create photonic devices independent of the traditional photonic foundry process timelines and is a perfect vehicle for developing our most advanced PerkinamineTM material systems. We are currently starting our build out of a class 100 clean room at our Longmont facility to specifically target this and the hybrid slot waveguide device architecture. We intend to drive the maturity of these product offerings from in-house manufacturing of research and development devices to telecom devices.


30-100 Gb/sec Slot Waveguide DataComm & Telecom Modulator

Hybrid polymer/silicon slot waveguide technology is designed to integrate with other optical silicon photonic devices to create an entire datacom information system to service the tremendous growth in cloud computing and other data intensive systems such as high-end super computer applications. The integration of electro-optic polymers and silicon waveguide technologies significantly lowers the power per bit of information and can potentially lead to modulation devices, which remove a significant portion of the electronics cost and power requirements. We have already successfully demonstrated this basic building block of photonic devices and are now getting ready to repeat this with new materials and expect a series of results throughout the year.


Optical Routers

Routers are devices that switch the datacom and telecom traffic around the world. We are collaborating with the University of Colorado sponsored research team to define and implement a Third Order (light-switching-light) nonlinear polymer technology to address this sizable market opportunity. The significant advantage our polymers enable is the switching of optical data without leaving the optical domain and replacing the current Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) solution.


Spatial Light Modulator, Optical Switch and Optical Correlator

One of the advantages we gained with our relocation to Longmont is the opportunity to work more closely with our partner Boulder Nonlinear Systems (BNS). Together we have a three-pronged cache of opportunities to penetrate DoD and commercial markets.


Each "may have significant potential" for our Company. They are:

I. A Terry Turpin design for a spatial light modulator. A spatial light modulator is the input device for an optical computer that can be used for supercomputing, cryptology and imagery processing (including facial recognition).

II. Content carriers such as Comcast, Cox and Century Link need innovative ways to push more data through existing fiber networks. We are working an all-optical switch (along with the University of Colorado) that can be used to replace electric to optical switches that are currently used for this purpose. Legacy devices can’t meet the demands from the end user…people. We expect initial results for this application in the late summer, early fall.

III. Finally we are working on an optical correlator. An optical correlator is a device that compares two-dimensional data at very high rates of speed utilizing time and frequency properties of a laser. The main objective use is for target tracking and identification. This is a follow-on to the earlier USAF LADAR (LAser Detection And Ranging) project we announced. LADAR devices use lasers to illuminate a target and measure the time it takes the light to return to determine distance. LADAR has advantages over RADAR since it produces three-dimensional imagery (range, azimuth, elevation).


Summary

Our enthusiasm about the future is permeating our entire Company as well as our potential partners. We are all excited about our transition to a next-generation photonic systems provider at the leading edge of electro-optical and all-optical polymer development. Our technical team is currently putting together individual product timelines along with market sizes and detailed competitive comparisons that we intend to share with you when completed. This is an extremely exciting time to be a Lightwave Logic shareholder and we will endeavor to keep you informed of our progress along the way. We hope to see you at the annual shareholder meeting in Boulder, Colorado on August 21.

Zitat von Popeye82: 'Top 10 Water Innovators' Celebrated in New Report - GreenBiz, OAKLAND - April 22, 2009

- By Matthew Wheeland -
www.greenbiz.com/news/2009/04/22/top-10-water-innovators

"OAKLAND, Calif. -- Water, it is often said, is the new carbon: the next critical piece of business operations to manage and use efficiently. But the vast majority of innovations in water technology are often overlooked by investors, the press and the public, according to Laura Shenkar, the principal at the Artemis Project.

"During this period when the challenges to water supply and water quality are just beginning to affect business, these are companies that are blazing the trail toward green recovery. They are creating what will be one of the great high-growth industries of the 21st Century," Shenkar said. "The Artemis Project Top 50 companies are just the tip of the iceberg for a major industry that will generate thousands of companies and green jobs."

To that end, Shenkar and a team of judges compiled a list of more than 120 companies that are pushing the envelope in terms of water treatment, purification and management. Those companies were then rated on four criteria: technology, intellectual property and know-how, team quality and market potential. The judges also applied ipCapital Group's proprietary ipDimensional Scoring algorithm, which objectively ranks companies within a particular sector based on the relative value of its patents.

The winning companies span a range of different technologies. The top prize was given to Arizona-based stormwater treatment company AbTech Industries, Massachusetts-based desalination experts Oasys Water and Vermont-based Seldon Technologies, makers of a nano-tube water-filtration system.

"The goal of this competition was to show the U.S venture capital community the diversity and investment potential of an international network of advanced water technology companies," Shenkar said. "The fact that the top three winners of this competition are U.S. based companies should serve as a wakeup call to the U.S. investment community. Water will be a big industry sooner rather than later; it's flourishing in our own backyard."

In general, Shenkar said the companies that made the list are working on one or more of the following six trends in water management:

+ Acoustic Water Purification

+ Wastewater Purification

+ Software for Water Management

+ Disinfection/Iodine and Ultraviolet and Advanced Oxidation

+ Waste Mining

+ Energy Recovery


In acoustic water purification, companies are using either sounds or lasers to make a bubble in the water, which then explodes; and the heat and electricity and the shock has an impact to the molecules around it in killing off bacteria and purifying the water. This technique has been used most often in small-scale projects in wastewater and medical settings.

Wastewater purification can be used to recycle water to almost any grade -- in Singapore, Shenkar explained, companies are taking wastewater and purifying it to drinking quality. Although that's not a level the U.S. is likely to reach soon, it is a technology with significant uses.

Water-management software is currently put to use at both macro and micro levels, from Global Information Systems (GIS) satellites reading the lay of the water to ground-level implementations of water sensors to maximize water efficiency in landscaping.

On the disinfection fronts, iodine and chlorine both get bad raps, but Shenkar explains that natural iodine is quite safe to use, and companies like BioLargo are putting it to use with advanced delivery methods. Ultraviolet light is an up-and-coming solution, Shenkar said, in large part because of companies developing LED ultraviolet lights, which are much smaller and less hazardous to dispose of.

Waste mining is a form of wastewater purification, where companies can take out the elements within the wastewater and use some of remnants for beneficial purposes. An example Shenkar offered was mining the nitrogen from the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico's dead zones -- companies are developing ways to remove the nitrogen and reuse it.

Finally, energy recovery takes away one of the largest obstacles for widespread adoption of desalination: it currently takes an enormous amount of energy to filter and purify water, but companies are working on methods that use the non-filtered water to power turbines that run the machine, thereby recovering as much as 95 percent of the energy needed to desalinate water.

Asian inventions 'dominate energy storage systems', In recent years, the number of patent applications for electrochemical energy storage technologies has soared. According to a new study, the largest volume of applications by far is submitted by developers of lithium batteries. The study 'offers a 1st differentiated analysis of which energy storage technologies will be viable, in the eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeexit from fossil-fuel energy'. In this area, European +US companies are falling behind economically, as Asian companies apply for a substantially higher number of patents - NW//TUM/SD, MUNICH - Aug 19, 2014

"In recent years, the number of patent applications for electrochemical energy storage technologies has soared. According to a study ("Monitoring innovation in electrochemical energy storage technologies: A patent-based approach") by the Technische Universität München (TUM), the largest volume of applications by far is submitted by developers of lithium batteries. The study offers a first differentiated analysis of which energy storage technologies will be viable in the exit from fossil-fuel energy. In this area, European and US companies are falling behind economically, as Asian companies apply for a substantially higher number of patents.

Wind and solar power are inherently intermittent energy sources. If a large amount of electricity is to be produced with renewable energy sources in the future, excess energy will have to be stored during productive periods so that these fluctuations can be compensated for. However, existing storage capacities are far from adequate for the purpose. Science and industry are therefore working on new, better technologies. One important focus lies on battery systems that used to be too expensive or unsophisticated to be employed on a large scale. Now, a number of different electrochemical technologies are competing to become the benchmark.

Knowing which technologies are the subject of more intensive development activities and will enter the market in the near future is strategically important to all stakeholders in the energy sector, whether from the industry, political sphere or science. As companies do not readily divulge their R&D activities, economists at the TUM have analyzed worldwide patent applications relating to electrochemical energy storage between 1991 and 2011, as part of a large interdisciplinary project on battery storage. (Applications offer a more up-to-date overview of trends than the granted trade mark rights.)

The study shows that the annual number of new patent families, i.e. groups of patent applications and patents for similar or equivalent inventions (e.g. applications in different countries), rose by 110 per cent from 2006 to 2011. In 2006, applications for intellectual property rights for around 2,800 developments were submitted. In 2011, the figure had already increased to 5,900 applications. “In view of these investments, we can assume that new electrochemical energy storage technologies will be ready for market entry in the near future and will be more cost-effective than the existing products,” says Simon C. Müller, physicist and economist, at the chair for Strategy and Organization.


The lithium segment is very dynamic

The most patent applications by far were filed by developers of lithium batteries: in 2011, there were 4,900 new patent families. Indeed, the curve for application numbers in this segment follows a steep upward trend since 2008, after a single dip in 2007. Before that, several suppliers had had to take back products due to safety issues. “Apparently, fears that lithium batteries cannot be made safe enough have vanished,” says Müller. Moreover, the new patent applications are cited more often than other technologies by newer patent families - a mark of quality which shows that they play a role in the continued development of the technology.


In second place in terms of the number of patent applications filed are lead batteries with only around 580 new patent families in 2011. The scientists noted, however, a recent marked increase, albeit to a low level, for redox flow batteries, in which the energy-storing chemical compounds are used in liquid form: From 2009 until 2011, the number of applications more than doubled from 90 to 200. The number of new patent families for alkaline batteries dropped slightly to 240 and sodium-sulphur technologies played a consistently marginal roll with 20 applications.

“The lithium segment is very dynamic”, according Simon C. Müller. “Quite possibly, we will soon reach a point at which a self-multiplying effect can be seen. As soon as the techno-economic data are good enough, research and development activities will attract more investments, which will generate an even stronger lead.” The fact that lithium batteries are also used in electric cars will only contribute to this development, since batteries will be in demand both in the energy sector and in the automotive industry.


Asian developers submit almost four times as many patent applications as European counterparts

The analysis indicates that Asian companies will dominate the market. In 2011, 2,100 applications for patent families relating to electrochemical energy storage could be attributed to Asian developers; 530 to European, and only 410 to US developers. Despite a high initial figure in 2001, the Asians were thus able to increase their applications by 220 percent; European applications rose by 260 percent and US applications by 70 percent.
If one considers the quality of the portfolio, Asian companies still hold a very dominant position. The scientists used an index that takes both quantitative data and the number of application citations into consideration. According to this index, the top 10 in the lithium batteries segment include eight Japanese and one Korean company, with Fuji in the lead. Only one US company, Valence Technology, is found here. The most successful European institution, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), is only ranked 25th.

“These results raise interesting questions about research policy and development management. Further studies could, for instance, look at which strategies have given certain companies a technological lead in this field, and which lessons may be learned from this by European and US competitors,” says Prof. Isabell M. Welpe, who holds the Chair for Strategy and Organization.

The study is part of the EEBatt project, which focuses on decentralized stationary battery storage for an efficient use of renewable energies and support of grid stability. 14 Chairs for different disciplines at the TUM join their forces with the ZAE Bayern (Bavarian institute for applied energy research) and VARTA Storage GmbH to conduct research.

Recycling old batteries, into solar cells - NW/MIT/E&ES - Aug 19, 2014
http://pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/ArticleLanding/2014/EE/C4EE00…
www.nanowerk.com/news2/green/newsid=36965.php

" This could be a classic win-win solution: A system proposed by researchers at MIT recycles materials from discarded car batteries — a potential source of lead pollution — into new, long-lasting solar panels that provide emissions-free power.

The system is described in a paper in the journal Energy and Environmental Science ("Environmentally-responsible fabrication of efficient perovskite solar cells from recycled car batteries"), co-authored by professors Angela M. Belcher and Paula T. Hammond, graduate student Po-Yen Chen, and three others. It is based on a recent development in solar cells that makes use of a compound called perovskite — specifically, organolead halide perovskite — a technology that has rapidly progressed from initial experiments to a point where its efficiency is nearly competitive with that of other types of solar cells.

“It went from initial demonstrations to good efficiency in less than two years,” says Belcher, the W.M. Keck Professor of Energy at MIT. Already, perovskite-based photovoltaic cells have achieved power-conversion efficiency of more than 19 percent, which is close to that of many commercial silicon-based solar cells.

Initial descriptions of the perovskite technology identified its use of lead, whose production from raw ores can produce toxic residues, as a drawback. But by using recycled lead from old car batteries, the manufacturing process can instead be used to divert toxic material from landfills and reuse it in photovoltaic panels that could go on producing power for decades.
Amazingly, because the perovskite photovoltaic material takes the form of a thin film just half a micrometer thick, the team’s analysis shows that the lead from a single car battery could produce enough solar panels to provide power for 30 households.

As an added advantage, the production of perovskite solar cells is a relatively simple and benign process. “It has the advantage of being a low-temperature process, and the number of steps is reduced” compared with the manufacture of conventional solar cells, Belcher says.
Those factors will help to make it “easy to get to large scale cheaply,” Chen adds.


Battery pileup ahead

One motivation for using the lead in old car batteries is that battery technology is undergoing rapid change, with new, more efficient types, such as lithium-ion batteries, swiftly taking over the market. “Once the battery technology evolves, over 200 million lead-acid batteries will potentially be retired in the United States, and that could cause a lot of environmental issues,” Belcher says.

Today, she says, 90 percent of the lead recovered from the recycling of old batteries is used to produce new batteries, but over time the market for new lead-acid batteries is likely to decline, potentially leaving a large stockpile of lead with no obvious application.

In a finished solar panel, the lead-containing layer would be fully encapsulated by other materials, as many solar panels are today, limiting the risk of lead contamination of the environment. When the panels are eventually retired, the lead can simply be recycled into new solar panels.
“The process to encapsulate them will be the same as for polymer cells today,” Chen says. “That technology can be easily translated.”

“It is important that we consider the life cycles of the materials in large-scale energy systems,” Hammond says. “And here we believe the sheer simplicity of the approach bodes well for its commercial implementation.”


Old lead is as good as new

Belcher believes that the recycled perovskite solar cells will be embraced by other photovoltaics researchers, who can now fine-tune the technology for maximum efficiency. The team’s work clearly demonstrates that lead recovered from old batteries is just as good for the production of perovskite solar cells as freshly produced metal.

Some companies are already gearing up for commercial production of perovskite photovoltaic panels, which could otherwise require new sources of lead. Since this could expose miners and smelters to toxic fumes, the introduction of recycling instead could provide immediate benefits, the team says.
Yang Yang, a professor of materials science and engineering at the University of California at Los Angeles who was not involved in this research, says, “Wow, what an interesting paper, that turns the waste of one system into a valuable resource for another! I think the work demonstrated here … can resolve a major issue of industrial waste, and provide a solution for future renewable energy.”

The work, which also included research scientist Jifa Qi, graduate student Matthew Klug and postdoc Xiangnan Dang, was supported by Italian energy company Eni through the MIT Energy Initiative.

'Novel recycling methods': The fluorescent fingerprint of plastics - NW/LMU/G&SC, MUNICH - Aug 21, 2014
www.nanowerk.com/news2/green/newsid=37041.php

"Researchers at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich have developed a new process which will greatly simplify the process of sorting plastics in recycling plants. The method enables automated identification of polymers, facilitating rapid separation of plastics for re-use.


A team of researchers led by Professor Heinz Langhals of LMU’s Department of Chemistry has taken a significant step which promises to markedly expedite the recycling of plastic waste. They have developed a technique which provides for automated recognition of their polymer constituents, thus improving the efficiency of recycling and re-use of the various types of plastic. The technique takes advantage of the polymer-specific nature of the intrinsic fluorescence induced by photoexcitation. “Plastics emit fluorescent light when exposed to a brief flash of light, and the emission decays with time in a distinctive pattern. Thus, their fluorescence lifetimes are highly characteristic for the different types of polymers, and can serve as an identifying fingerprint,” Langhals explains. Details of the new method appear in the latest issue of the journal Green and Sustainable Chemistry ("High Performance Recycling of Polymers by Means of Their Fluorescence Lifetimes").

The new technique, which is the subject of a patent application, involves exposing particles of plastic to a brief flash of light which causes the material to fluoresce. Photoelectric sensors then measure the intensity of the light emitted in response to the inducing photoexcitation to determine the dynamics of its decay. Because the different polymer materials used in the manufacture of plastics display specific fluorescence lifetimes, the form of the decay curve can be used to identify their chemical nature. “With this process, errors in measurement are practically ruled out; for any given material, one will always obtain the same value for the fluorescence half-life, just as in the case of radioactive decay,” says Langhals.


Turning bottles into windcheaters

Unlike metals, the quality of which often suffers during the recycling process itself, recycled plastics can be processed quite efficiently. “Polymers represent an interesting basis for the sustainable cycling of technological materials. The crucial requirement is that the recycled material should be chemically pure. In that case, bottles made of PET, for example, can be relatively easily turned into synthetic fiber for use in waterproof windcheaters,” says Langhals.

The vast majority of technical polymers are processed as thermoplastics, i.e., they are melted at high temperature and the finished article is produced by injecting the molten material into an appropriate mold, where it allowed to set. Reheating of recycled plastic can, however, lead to deleterious alterations in its properties of the material unless the sorted material is of high purity. Contamination levels as low as 5% are sufficient to significantly reduce the quality of the reformed product. The reason for this “down-cycling” effect is that, as a general rule, polymers tend to be immiscible, as they are chemically incompatible with one another. Remelting of polymer mixtures therefore often leads to partitioning of the different polymers into distinct domains separated by grain boundaries, which compromises the quality of the final product. For this reason, high-quality plastics are always manufactured exclusively from pristine precursors – never from recycled material.

The new method developed by the LMU team could, however, change this. “The waste problem can only be solved by chemical means, and our process can make a significant contribution to environmental protection, because it makes automated sorting feasible,” says Langhals. Indeed, the use of fluorescence lifetime measurements permits the identification and sorting of up to 1.5 tons of plastic per hour. In other words, the method in its present form already meets the specifications required for its application on an industrial scale.

Water 'leads to chemical, that gunks up biofuels production' - NW/ACS/PNNL/TUM, WASHINGTON/MUNICH - Aug 19, 2014
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/ja501592y
www.nanowerk.com/news2/green/newsid=37022.php

"Trying to understand the chemistry that turns plant material into the same energy-rich gasoline and diesel we put in our vehicles, researchers have discovered that water in the conversion process helps form an impurity which, in turn, slows down key chemical reactions. The study, which was reported online at the Journal of the American Chemical Society in July ("First-Principles Study of Phenol Hydrogenation on Pt and Ni Catalysts in Aqueous Phase"), can help improve processes that produce biofuels from plants.

The study examines the conversion of bio-oil, produced from biomass such as wood chips or grasses, into transportation fuels. Researchers used computer simulations to explore what happens to a common bio-oil byproduct. Water, everywhere during biofuels production, turns the byproduct into an impurity that disrupts and blocks the reactions that lead to biofuels. The results apply not only to water but to related liquids in bio-oil such as alcohols and certain acids.



- PNNL researchers create bio-oil (right) out of biomass (left). To make the bio-oil, biomass — wood or plant waste — is flash-cooked at high temperatures in the absence of air in a process called fast pyrolysis. Bio-oil is an alternate route to make transportation fuels that we currently get from petroleum. -


The study provides a thorough view of the byproduct phenol reacting with catalysts. Catalysts are what chemists use to speed up the reactions that convert plants into fuels, reactions that occurred deep in the Earth over millions of years and gave us the fossil fuels we use today.

"We are getting to the heart of the fundamentals of biofuels catalysis," said co-author Roger Rousseau, a scientist at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. "The work tells us that the impurity is unavoidable and we need to make sure it does not build up enough to interfere. Although this is a very fundamental issue, it points out for us what types of things we can do to help extend the lifetime of the catalysts we are using to make bio-oil."


Grass To Gasoline

To make plant matter into products that come from petroleum — gasoline and plastics — biofuels chemists need to understand every step of the process. To make biofuels, researchers rapidly heat up plant matter in a process called pyrolysis. They then use catalysts to convert the pyrolysis oil into transportation fuels.

The chemistry that occurs leads to the production of precursors to fuels and a byproduct called phenol. Phenol itself isn't too much of a problem in fuels, but it sits in the vat of chemicals and water that are undergoing a variety of reactions and gets converted into molecules called ketones.
Troublesome ketones will link up with others like them and form long chains that gunk up the catalysts and interfere with important reactions. Researchers at PNNL wanted to know the molecular details on how phenol converts to ketone. Ultimately, they discovered, it's not the catalyst's fault.


Catalyst in the Computer

While some ideas existed for how this happens, the team used computers to simulate phenol interacting with catalysts and water to see step-by-step what is going on. To explore water's role in the reaction, they also simulated the same reactions in a vacuum, which puts everything but the solid catalyst in vapor form. They performed these simulations using resources in EMSL, DOE's Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory at PNNL.

In the simulations, the catalyst is essentially a piece of metal, either nickel or platinum. The phenol molecules and water molecules randomly bounce or land on the metal surface where bonds break and reform between atoms within molecules by shifting electrons around. In this way, a phenol might transform into a ketone.

The team found that the presence of water dramatically upped the speed with which the final conversion to a ketone happened. In addition, water also affected how the metal catalyst carried its electrons, which in turn affected how well it catalyzed the reaction between phenol and hydrogen atoms that settle on the catalyst's surface.

"I was surprised at the role liquid plays in the reactivity of the metal catalyst," said PNNL's Yeohoon Yoon, a co-author on the study. "We know a lot about these reactions in the gas phase, but almost nothing in the liquid. The principles we've learned can be applied to other catalyst-driven reactions. They will make working in the complex system of real catalysts making real biofuels easier."

And that's the next step. PNNL colleagues at the Bioproducts, Sciences & Engineering Laboratory, a facility located on the Washington State University Tri-Cities campus where PNNL and WSU researchers collaborate, will use this work to guide development of pyrolysis oil transformation into biofuels.
The researchers also presented this work at the American Chemical Society's Annual Meeting in San Francisco on Aug. 12.

New process 'helps overcome obstacles, to produce renewable fuels +chemicals' - NW/NREL/PNAS - Aug 20, 2014
www.pnas.org/content/111/33/12013
www.nanowerk.com/news2/green/newsid=37023.php

" There’s an old saying in the biofuels industry: “You can make anything from lignin except money.” Buuut nooooow, a new study maaaaay pave the way to challenging that adage. The study from the Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) demonstrates a concept that provides opportunities for the successful conversion of lignin into a variety of renewable fuels, chemicals, and materials for a sustainable energy economy.


“Lignin Valorization Through Integrated Biological Funneling and Chemical Catalysis” was recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The NREL-led research project explores an innovative method for upgrading lignin.

The process for converting glucose from biomass into fuels such as ethanol has been well established. However, plants also contain a significant amount of lignin – up to 30 percent of their cell walls. Lignin is a heterogeneous aromatic polymer that plants use to strengthen cell walls, but it is typically considered a hindrance to cost-effectively obtaining carbohydrates, and residual lignin is often burned for process heat because it is difficult to depolymerize and upgrade into useful fuels or chemicals.

“Biorefineries that convert cellulosic biomass into liquid transportation fuels typically generate more lignin than necessary to power the operation,” NREL Senior Engineer and a co-author of the study Gregg Beckham said. “Strategies that incorporate new approaches to transform the leftover lignin to more diverse and valuable products are desperately needed.”

Although lignin depolymerization has been studied for nearly a century, the development of cost-effective upgrading processes for lignin valorization has been limited.

In nature, some microorganisms have figured out how to overcome the heterogeneity of lignin. “Rot” fungi and some bacteria are able to secrete powerful enzymes or chemical oxidants to break down lignin in plant cell walls, which produces a heterogeneous mixture of aromatic molecules. Given this large pool of aromatics present in nature, some bacteria have developed “funneling” pathways to uptake the resulting aromatic molecules and use them as a carbon and energy source.

This new study shows that developing biological conversion processes for one such lignin-utilizing organism may enable new routes to overcome the heterogeneity of lignin. And, that may enable a broader slate of molecules derived from lignocellulosic biomass.

“The conceptual approach we demonstrate can be applied to many different types of biomass feedstocks and combined with many different strategies for breaking down lignin, engineering the biological pathways to produce different intermediates, and catalytically upgrading the biologically-derived product to develop a larger range of valuable molecules derived from lignin,” Beckham said. “It holds promise for a wide variety of industrial applications. While this is very exciting, certainly there remains a significant amount of technology development to make this process economically viable.”

A patent application has been filed on this research and NREL’s Technology Transfer Office will be working with researchers to identify potential licensees of the technology.

In addition, researchers from NREL participated in a recent review on lignin valorization published in Science Magazine ("Lignin Valorization: Improving Lignin Processing in the Biorefinery"). This review highlighted the broad potential for manufacturing value-added products from lignin, including low-cost carbon fiber, engineering plastics and thermoplastic elastomers, polymeric foams and membranes, and a variety of fuels and chemicals all currently sourced from petroleum.

Efficient production of hydrogen, by algae - NW/AGPB/E&ES, MÜHLHEIM - Aug 18, 2014
http://pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/ArticleLanding/2014/EE/C4EE01…
www.nanowerk.com/news2/green/newsid=36973.php

"Microalgae need only sunlight and water for the production of hydrogen. However, in order to make hydrogen production by microalgae economically feasible their efficiency has to be increased by 1-2 orders of magnitude. In the current issue of Energy and Environmental Science ("Enhancing hydrogen production of microalgae by redirecting electrons from photosystem I to hydrogenase") scientists from the AG Photobiotechnology of the Ruhr University Bochum and the Max Planck Institutes in Mülheim present how an improvement in efficiency can be achieved.



- Electrontransfer in the alga C. reinhardtii, that leads to the production of hydrogen or other substances. Hase = Hydrogenase. (Image: MPI CEC / RUB) -


Microalgae use light-energy to extract electrons from water during photosynthesis. Most of these electrons are transported by a small, iron-containing protein, the ferredoxin PETF, to the protein ferredoxin-NADP+-oxidoreductase (FNR), which feeds the electrons into the production chain of carbohydrates. PETF passes only a small fraction of the electrons to other proteins like the Hydrogenase. This protein is a very powerful enzyme, whose amino acid chain harbours a unique six-iron cluster, in which electrons (e-) are transferred to protons (H+) to produce hydrogen (H2).

Using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) the scientists investigated in great detail which amino acids of PETF interact with Hydrogenase and which with FNR. Thereby they identified two amino acids of PETF with negatively charged side chains that are ex-clusively important for binding FNR. The directed genetic modification of exactly those two residues to amino acids with uncharged side chains led to an increased production of hy-drogen. Together with further modifications of the FNR this resulted in a five-fold increased rate for hydrogen production.

The knowledge-based change of electron transfer pathways has the potential to make fur-ther enhancements of hydrogen production possible. The efficiency necessary for an eco-nomic application of biological hydrogen production can probably be achieved by the com-bination of different modifications. Thus, the presented results are important for the devel-opment of an environmentally friendly, regenerative energy supply that does not depend on expensive and rare noble metals.

Global Cleantech Innovation Index '14 report - CG/WWF/Tillväxtverket - Jun14

- Michele Parad, Stefan Henningsson, Tabaré A. Currás, Richard Youngman -

- Foreword

The science is clear that, after two centuries of burning fossil fuels +emitting greenhouse gases @an exponentially increasing rate, the earth’s climate is changing. Anthropogenic warming is disrupting a number of natural systems on which we depend, with predicted effects of temperature increases above 2°C to include more extreme weather events, sea level rises, precipitation changes, disappearing coral reefs +ocean acidification. International climate change negotiations are not delivering sufficiently on the challenge to avoid catastrophic climate change, which make accelerated investments in solutions by business, financial institutions, countries +cities even more crucial.

Current trends of energy investments fall well short, of the amount needed to avoid dangerous global warming. +policies in place are insufficient to give guidance to investors. The private sector must start shifting investments, from dirty fossil fuels into sustainable energy within the context of consistent policies needed to steer private financing for renewables +energy efficiency. Investments of about $U.S. 2.000.000.000.000 annually by '35, will be required, for both energy efficiency +clean energy.2 Currently, the world invests <$U.S. 400.000.000.000 in clean energy, while all fossil fuel investments have grown to ~$U.S. 1.100.000.000.000 in '13,3 +fossil fuel subsidies account for another $U.S. 200.000.000.000. In '12 alone, the 200 largest publicly traded fossil fuel companies collectively spent an estimated $U.S. 674.000.000.000 on finding and developing new reserves –reserves that cannoooooooot be utilized without breaking the world’s carbon budget, +without becoming useless assets in a scenario where we avoid catastrophic climate change.4

It is becoming clear to investors that there is a lot of money backing up the problem, that can be shifted to support the solutions. Moreover, it is increaaaaasingly clear that renewables must assume the full share of the global energy supply market fairly shortly, in order to avoid 2°C global warming, whilst preventing major water pollution, hazardous waste for generations, poor human health, proliferation of nuclear weapons +unnecessarily high costs.

Solutions do exist, +can be enacted with the right combination of political, social +financial will. WWF’s Energy Report shows that all of the world’s energy needs could be provided cleanly +renewably by the year 2050, in ways that caaaaan be sustained by the global economy +the planet, +that such a transition is nooot only possible, but cost-effective.5 However, the major innovation challenges ahead include the acceleration of business models that take solutions to market +the continuous cost-cutting of key technologies.

In order to accelerate progress we need to look @the conditions surrounding our large +small solution providers. We will need to see a wide range of innovative cleantech solutions quickly scale up over the next 10-30 years. Agencies, governments, investors +business need to proactively collaborate, as forces for change in transitioning towards a sustainable energy future on a global level. Understanding these innovation processes is important, in order to accelerate increase of the “good” as a complement to the establishment of national climate targets +carbon caps, that address a more rapid decrease of the “bad.”

Tracking the innovation activity of smaller cleantech disruptors that carry the hope of enabling a shift, to more Good solutions is the impetus for this Global Cleantech Innovation Index. We must join hands in creating a more attractive future for all +be clear to decision-makers that we are ready +able to do so.

Executive Summary

This report investigates the countries where entrepreneurial clean technology companies 'are 'most likely' to emerge from over the next 10 years – +why. Drawing on a wide range of factors +sources, the study seeks to answer the same question as the '12 Global Cleantech Innovation Index, namely: which countries currently have the greatest potential to produce entrepreneurial cleantech start-up companies, which will commercialise clean technology innovations over the next 10 years?

+ 40 countries were evaluated on 15 indicators, related to the creation, commercialisation +growth of cleantech start-ups.

+ Israel topped the '14 index, with its relative outperformance on the measure of start-up companies per capita being a key reason that it did so. The country generates the culture, education and ‘chutzpah’1, necessary to breed innovation, plus it has the survival instincts to manage a resource-constrained geography.

+ Finland took 2nd place, in recognition of the clear efforts the country is making to mobilize its workforce towards sustainable innovation. Finland is also developing 'novel innovation approaches', to access larger, cleantech hungry markets in other geographies.

+ USA came in 3rd place in the '14 index, with its clean technology start-ups clearly attracting the most venture capital on an absolute basis. However, in the past few years, there have been more cleantech funds set up to invest in China than for any other part of the world, with capital inflows expecting to rival that of the U.S. in the years to come.

+ All of the top 10 countries in the index are relatively good @early stage cleantech development, but share a common challenge in increasing commercialisation rates. Denmark, however, stands out for producing a large number of mature, publicly-listed cleantech companies, relative to the size of its economy.

+ While China, India +Brazil currently fall outside of the top bracket of start-up generators in the index, their rank is likely to rise in the years to come, as they possess a strong climate for growth +development, high levels of pollution, or resource drivers to commercialise cleantech innovation.

+ Even the so called ‘laggards’ in the index(e.g. Russia, Saudi Arabia) are beginning to implement supporting structures for sustainable innovation –in order to hedge against the realities of limited conventional energy sources in the long-term.

+ Overall, this index demonstrates that countries will get ahead if they

1) are able to adapt to growing demand for renewables(@home +abroad);
2) are connecting start-ups with multiple channels, to increase their success rates +;
3) are increasing international engagement, to spur widespread adoption of clean technologies.

+ Overall the index shows countries that put significant resources into supporting cleantech innovation are rewarded with more emerging +commercialised cleantech companies, validating the approach many governments have taken to actively promote cleantech innovation nationally. ...

Tigers Realm Coal - Positive Amaam Nth Project F Pre-Feasibility Study Completed, "confirms low capital +operating cost, open pit coking coal mine @Amaam North" - Sep 2, 2013

"Highlights:"

+ Pre-feasibility Study(PFS) on Project F @Amaam North "demonstrates outstanding project economics", from a core starter project, with a shortened timeframe to 1st production.

+ Project F will produce over 1.000.000t/a of primarily coking coal product from a low strip ratio(5:1) open pit, over an initial 11 year mine life.

+ Project F "has the "potential" to become one of the lowest operating cost, export coking coal mines in the world " , with an average FOB cash cost of US$75/t of saleable product.

+ The capital cost to "initial" production is "estimated" @US$52.000.000.

+ The PFS "confirms strong project economics". Using a coking coal price of US$150/tonne +a 10% real discount rate, the project has an after- tax net present value(NPV ) of US $ 177.000.000 +an internal rate of return(IRR ) of 37%. Payback is <2 years.

+ The Bankable Feasibility Study(BFS) continues +TIG is funded for this work –the BFS will be completed by Q1 `14, as scheduled. " "Strong interest" in funding Project F has been received".

+ Ongoing work programs will "assess "options" to further enhance project value". These include expanding the open pit Resources, through further drilling on the largely unexplored Amaam North licence, assessing the "potential" for underground mining of the thick seams below the Project F open pit +optimising PFS outcomes.

+ TIG’s "plans" "for becoming a large scale +leading coking producer from Amaam +Amaam North are further strengthened by the strong economics of Project F." Project F is set to become the core starter mine, which will then support the expansion of production, from the main 6.000.000t/a Amaam Project +Amaam North. ...

Cypress +HLMC Demonstrate 'Working Silicon Cells, Leveraging 55-Nanometer Embedded Flash IP', "Cost-Effective SONOS Embedded Nonvolatile Memory Delivers 'High-Yield, Scalable Process' for 'Next-Generation Smart Cards' +Internet of Things Applications"
www.cypress.com/?rID=99372

"SAN JOSE, CA and SHANGHAI, CHINA--(Marketwired - Aug 25, 2014) - Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ: CY), a leading provider of embedded nonvolatile memory solutions, and Shanghai Huali Microelectronics Corporation (HLMC), one of the most advanced pure play wafer foundries in China, today announced the companies have developed functioning silicon cells using Cypress's SONOS (Silicon Oxide Nitride Oxide Silicon) embedded Flash memory intellectual property (IP) at the 55-nanometer process technology node. The silicon cells are designed for smartcards and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Cypress SONOS delivers low wafer and die costs with unmatched scalability for future development. The technology and design IP will be available for high-volume manufacturing by HLMC customers in the second half of 2015.

HLMC licensed Cypress's 55-nanometer SONOS embedded nonvolatile memory (NVM) process in January 2014. The technology provides significant advantages over other embedded NVM offerings. SONOS only requires three mask layers to insert it into a standard CMOS process compared with the nine to twelve additional masks generally needed for other embedded Flash technologies. This mask reduction results in lower manufacturing costs. SONOS does not alter standard device characteristics or models when it is added to baseline CMOS process, preserving existing design IP. SONOS delivers intrinsically high yields and best-in-class reliability, 10 years of data retention, 100,000 program/erase endurance cycles, and robust resistance to soft errors. Cypress has demonstrated the ability to scale SONOS to 40-nm and 28-nm nodes, expediting future IP development.

"We are pleased to achieve this milestone with Cypress's 55-nm SONOS, as it marks a significant step in bringing the benefits of the technology to our customers," said Jack Qi Shu, Vice President at HLMC. "SONOS is a cost-effective process that delivers proven high yields. Its reliability and efficiency are key for high-volume Internet of Things applications and smartcards."

"Achieving working 55-nm SONOS silicon cells with HLMC is a testament to the technology's scalability and ease-of-design and to HLMC's manufacturing expertise," said Sam Geha, Vice President of the Technology and Intellectual Property Business Unit at Cypress. "The low cost, high performance and reliability of SONOS are ideal for the rapidly growing smartcard and Internet of Things markets, as well as for bank cards, wearable electronics and other logic-dominated products. Cypress will continue to work with leaders such as HLMC to make SONOS the industry's embedded nonvolatile memory platform of choice."

RMIT "delivers $AUD30.000.000, boost to micro- +nanotechnologies", will bring to Australia the world’s 1st rapid 3D nanoscale printer, +will support projects that span across the traditional disciplines of physics, chemistry, engineering, biology +medicine - NW/RMIT, MELBOURNE - Aug 26, 2014
www.nanowerk.com/nanotechnology-news/newsid=37073.php

" A new $AUD30 million research facility at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, will drive cutting-edge advances in micro- and nanotechnologies.

The MicroNano Research Facility (MNRF) will bring to Australia the world’s first rapid 3D nanoscale printer and will support projects that span across the traditional disciplines of physics, chemistry, engineering, biology and medicine.



- MIT University's $AUD30 million MicroNano Research Facility. -


The City campus facility will be launched by Vice-Chancellor and President, Professor Margaret Gardner AO, on Wednesday, 27 August.

Professor Gardner said the opening of the state-of-the-art laboratories and clean rooms was the start of an exciting new chapter in cross-disciplinary nano research.

“At the heart of the MicroNano Research Facility’s mission is bringing together disparate disciplines to enable internationally-leading research activity,” she said.

“RMIT has long been a pioneer in this field, opening Australia’s first academic clean rooms at the Microelectronics and Materials Technology Centre in 1983.

“Over three decades later, this investment in the world-class MNRF will enable RMIT’s leading researchers to continue to break new ground and transform the future.”

Among the equipment available to researchers in the 1200 square metre facility will be the world’s first rapid 3D nanoscale printer, capable of producing thousands of structures – each a fraction of the width of a human hair – in seconds.

Designed by architects SKM Jacobs, the MNRF also offers researchers access to more than 50 cutting-edge tools, including focused ion beam lithography with helium, neon, and gallium ion beams to enable imaging and machining objects to 0.5 nm resolution – about 5 to 10 atoms.


Director of the MNRF, Professor James Friend, said 10 research teams would work at the new facility on a broad range of projects, including:

- building miniaturised motors – or microactuators – to retrieve blood clots from deep within the brain, enabling minimally invasive neurological intervention in people affected by strokes or aneurysms;

- improving drug delivery via the lungs through new techniques that can atomise large biomolecules – including drugs, DNA, antibodies and even cells – into tiny droplets to avoid the damage of conventional nebulisation;

- developing innovative energy harvesting techniques that change the way batteries are recharged, using novel materials that can draw on the energy generated simply by people walking around; and,

- inventing ways to use water to remove toxins from fabric dyes, with new nanotechnologies that can facilitate the breaking down of those dyes with nanostructured catalysts.


“This facility is all about ensuring researchers have the freedom to imagine and safely realise the impossible at tiny scales, and beyond ,” Professor Friend said.

"Having access to purpose-designed laboratories and leading-edge equipment opens tremendous opportunities for RMIT and for those we collaborate with, enabling us to advance the development of truly smart technology solutions to some of our most complex problems.”


Laboratories in the MNRF will include:

– Gas sensors laboratory
– Metrology laboratory
– Novel Fabrication laboratory
– PC2 mammalian cell laboratory
– Photolithography laboratory
– Physical vapour deposition laboratory
– Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and nanoparticle laboratory
– Wet etch laboratory
– Support laboratory


The MNRF will be a key enabler of RMIT’s flagship Health Innovations Research Institute and Platform Technologies Research Institute.

A unique teaching facility will also be affiliated with the MNRF.
The Micro Nano Teaching Facility (MNTF) is the first of its kind in Australia, enabling undergraduate and postgraduate engineering student trainees to study clean room operations and micro-fabrication.

"Engineers across the globe have been racing to design smaller, cheaper and more efficient rechargeable batteries to meet the power storage needs of everything from handheld gadgets to electric cars.

In a paper published today in the journal Nature Nanotechnology ("Interconnected hollow carbon nanospheres for stable lithium metal anodes"), researchers at Stanford University report that they have taken a big step toward accomplishing what battery designers have been trying to do for decades – design a pure lithium anode.

All batteries have three basic components: an electrolyte to provide electrons, an anode to discharge those electrons, and a cathode to receive them.

Today, we say we have lithium batteries, but that is only partly true. What we have are lithium ion batteries. The lithium is in the electrolyte, but not in the anode. An anode of pure lithium would be a huge boost to battery efficiency.

"Of all the materials that one might use in an anode, lithium has the greatest potential. Some call it the Holy Grail," said Yi Cui, a professor of Material Science and Engineering and leader of the research team. "It is very lightweight and it has the highest energy density. You get more power per volume and weight, leading to lighter, smaller batteries with more power."
But engineers have long tried, and faiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiled , to reach this Holy Grail.

"Lithium has major challenges that have made its use in anodes difficult. Many engineers had given up the search, but we found a way to protect the lithium from the problems that have plagued it for so long," said Guangyuan Zheng, a doctoral candidate in Cui's lab and first author of the paper.
In addition to Zheng, the research team includes Steven Chu, the former U.S. Secretary of Energy and Nobel Laureate who recently resumed his professorship at Stanford.

"In practical terms, if we can improve the capacity of batteries to, say, four times today's, that would be exciting. You might be able to have cell phone with double or triple the battery life or an electric car with a range of 300 miles that cost only $25,000—competitive with an internal combustion engine getting 40 mpg," Chu said.


The engineering challenge

In the paper, the authors explain how they are overcoming the problems posed by lithium.

Most lithium ion batteries, like those you might find in your smart phone or hybrid car, work similarly. The key components include an anode, the negative pole from which electrons flow out and into a power-hungry device, and the cathode, where the electrons re-enter the battery once they have traveled through the circuit. Separating them is an electrolyte, a solid or liquid loaded with positively charged lithium ions that travel between the anode and cathode.

During charging, the positively charged lithium ions in the electrolyte are attracted to the negatively charged anode and the lithium accumulates on the anode. Today, the anode in a lithium ion battery is actually made of graphite or silicon.

Engineers would like to use lithium for the anode, but so far they have been unable to do so. That's because the lithium ions expand as they gather on the anode during charging.

All anode materials, including graphite and silicon, expand somewhat during charging, but not like lithium. Researchers say that lithium's expansion during charging is "virtually infinite" relative to the other materials. Its expansion is also uneven, causing pits and cracks to form in the outer surface, like paint on the exterior of a balloon that is being inflated.
The resulting fissures on the surface of the anode allow the precious lithium ions to escape, forming hair-like or mossy growths, called dendrites. Dendrites, in turn, short circuit the battery and shorten its life.
Preventing this buildup is the first challenge of using lithium for the battery's anode.

The second engineering challenge is that a lithium anode is highly chemically reactive with the electrolyte. It uses up the electrolyte and reduces battery life.

An additional problem is that the anode and electrolyte produce heat when they come into contact. Lithium batteries, including those in use today, can overheat to the point of fire, or even explosion, and are, therefore, a serious safety concern. The recent battery fires in Tesla cars and on Boeing's Dreamliner are prominent examples of the challenges of lithium ion batteries.


Building the nanospheres

To solve these problems the Stanford researchers built a protective layer of interconnected carbon domes on top of their lithium anode. This layer is what the team has called nanospheres

The Stanford team's nanosphere layer resembles a honeycomb: it creates a flexible, uniform and non-reactive film that protects the unstable lithium from the drawbacks that have made it such a challenge. The carbon nanosphere wall is just 20 nanometers thick. It would take some 5,000 layers stacked one atop another to equal the width of single human hair.

"The ideal protective layer for a lithium metal anode needs to be chemically stable to protect against the chemical reactions with the electrolyte and mechanically strong to withstand the expansion of the lithium during charge," Cui said.

The Stanford nanosphere layer is just that. It is made of amorphous carbon, which is chemically stable, yet strong and flexible so as to move freely up and down with the lithium as it expands and contracts during the battery's normal charge-discharge cycle.


Ideal within reach

In technical terms, the nanospheres improve the coulombic efficiency of the battery—a ratio of the amount of lithium that can be extracted from the anode when the battery is in use compared to the amount put in during charging. A single round of this give-and-take process is called a cycle.
Generally, to be commercially viable, a battery must have a coulombic efficiency of 99.9 percent or more, ideally over as many cycles as possible. Previous anodes of unprotected lithium metal achieved approximately 96 percent efficiency, which dropped to less than 50 percent in just 100 cycles—not nearly good enough. The Stanford team's new lithium metal anode achieves 99 percent efficiency even at 150 cycles.

"The difference between 99 percent and 96 percent, in battery terms, is huge. So, while we're not quite to that 99.9 percent threshold, where we need to be, we're close and this is a significant improvement over any previous design," Cui said. "With some additional engineering and new electrolytes, we believe we can realize a practical and stable lithium metal anode that could power the next generation of rechargeable batteries."

Magnetic memories 'on the right track' - W/A*STAR - Aug 27, 2014

"Computer hard drives store data by writing magnetic information onto their surfaces. In the future, magnetic effects may also be used to improve active memory in computers, potentially eliminating the need to ‘boot up’ a computer. One way to achieve this is through a memory technology known as STT-MRAM that utilizes information stored in a pair of thin magnetic layers.

By performing calculations, Chee Kwan Gan and colleagues from the A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing have proposed ways to improve STT-MRAM memory through identifying design options for achieving faster switching speeds, and hence faster data write times ("Current-induced switching of magnetic tunnel junctions: Effects of field-like spin-transfer torque, pinned-layer magnetization orientation, and temperature").



- Pathways for the switching of a magnetic layer in an STT-MRAM device depend on the relative alignment of the two layers in the device. (Image: A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing) -


In STT-MRAM devices, the relative orientation of the magnetic fields in the two thin layers determines the electrical resistance experienced by a current flowing through the device. If the magnetizations of both layers are aligned in the same direction, then the electrical resistance will be lower than when the layers have different magnetic alignments.

Switching the device between different magnetic states — which corresponds to writing information into the memory — is achieved by electrons whose magnetic property, the spin, is aligned in one direction. Collectively, these electrons are able to change the direction of the magnetization in one of the layers. The time it takes to switch the magnetic direction depends on several factors, including the initial relative orientation of the magnetic fields in the two layers. The magnetization of the switched layer can follow various complex paths during the switching process (see image above).

In previous experiments, the switching process was found to depend on two parameters. Using their computational model, the researchers could focus on one parameter — the less-studied ‘field-like’ term — that accounts for the relative orientation of the magnetic fields in both layers. The strength of this term depends on various factors, such as the device geometry and the materials used.

The calculations by the researchers show that, for devices with a strong field-like term, there is greater potential to reduce switching times than for devices in which the field-like term is negligible. Gan explains that this discovery will assist the development of improved STT-MRAM devices. “Our findings will motivate experimentalists to fabricate devices with strong field-like terms,” says Gan.

Furthermore, a better understanding of the origin of the field-like term is needed, adds Gan. “Although the effect of the field-like term has been confirmed experimentally and investigated in this work through simulations, it is important to understand its physical origins in order to improve material design.”

Nanotechnology engineering produces a water splitter, that runs on an ordinary AAA battery - NW/SU, STANFORD - Aug 22, 2014
www.nanowerk.com/nanotechnology-news/newsid=37052.php?utm_so…

" In 2015, American consumers will finally be able to purchase fuel cell cars from Toyota and other manufacturers. Although touted as zero-emissions vehicles, most of the cars will run on hydrogen made from natural gas, a fossil fuel that contributes to global warming.

Now scientists at Stanford University have developed a low-cost, emissions-free device that uses an ordinary AAA battery to produce hydrogen by water electrolysis. The battery sends an electric current through two electrodes that split liquid water into hydrogen and oxygen gas. Unlike other water splitters that use precious-metal catalysts, the electrodes in the Stanford device are made of inexpensive and abundant nickel and iron.

"Using nickel and iron, which are cheap materials, we were able to make the electrocatalysts active enough to split water at room temperature with a single 1.5-volt battery," said Hongjie Dai, a professor of chemistry at Stanford. "This is the first time anyone has used non-precious metal catalysts to split water at a voltage that low. It's quite remarkable, because normally you need expensive metals, like platinum or iridium, to achieve that voltage."

In addition to producing hydrogen, the novel water splitter could be used to make chlorine gas and sodium hydroxide, another important industrial chemical, according to Dai. He and his colleagues describe the new device in a study published in the Aug. 22 issue of the journal Nature Communications.


The 'promise of hydrogen'

Automakers have long considered the hydrogen fuel cell a promising alternative to the gasoline engine. Fuel cell technology is essentially water splitting in reverse. A fuel cell combines stored hydrogen gas with oxygen from the air to produce electricity, which powers the car. The only byproduct is water – unlike gasoline combustion, which emits carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas.

Earlier this year, Hyundai began leasing fuel cell vehicles in Southern California. Toyota and Honda will begin selling fuel cell cars in 2015. Most of these vehicles will run on fuel manufactured at large industrial plants that produce hydrogen by combining very hot steam and natural gas, an energy-intensive process that releases carbon dioxide as a byproduct.
Splitting water to make hydrogen requires no fossil fuels and emits no greenhouse gases. But scientists have yet to develop an affordable, active water splitter with catalysts capable of working at industrial scales.

"It's been a constant pursuit for decades to make low-cost electrocatalysts with high activity and long durability," Dai said. "When we found out that a nickel-based catalyst is as effective as platinum, it came as a complete surprise."

Watch a video describing the experiment: ...


Saving energy, and money

The discovery was made by Stanford graduate student Ming Gong, co-lead author of the study. "Ming discovered a nickel-metal/nickel-oxide structure that turns out to be more active than pure nickel metal or pure nickel oxide alone," Dai said. "This novel structure favors hydrogen electrocatalysis, but we still don't fully understand the science behind it."

The nickel/nickel-oxide catalyst significantly lowers the voltage required to split water, which could eventually save hydrogen producers billions of dollars in electricity costs, according to Gong. His next goal is to improve the durability of the device.

"The electrodes are fairly stable, but they do slowly decay over time," he said. "The current device would probably run for days, but weeks or months would be preferable. That goal is achievable based on my most recent results."
The researchers also plan to develop a water splitter than runs on electricity produced by solar energy.

"Hydrogen is an ideal fuel for powering vehicles, buildings and storing renewable energy on the grid," said Dai. "We're very glad that we were able to make a catalyst that's very active and low cost. This shows that through nanoscale engineering of materials we can really make a difference in how we make fuels and consume energy."

Let’s "Stop Just Consuming, +Become Part of the 'Internet of Energy' " - CT/GEL/MIT/EEM/MGK - Aug 27, 2014

"Ryan Wartena, CEO and founder of Growing Energy Labs, could have decided to create a new, inexpensive battery for energy storage, based on his experience working at the US Naval Research Lab in Washington, D.C., where he learned how to make micro batteries.

When he started GELI, his partner was working at Harvard University, and Wartena was at MIT.

His ultimate goal was to boost the use of energy storage so that “we can run the world on renewable energy,” he says.

And that’s all about networking energy storage on the grid – and ensuring more consumers become producers.

“We could have started a new battery company to make a cheaper battery,” he says. But the real obstacle to getting more energy storage online is the automation related to the energy services. It’s all about the “Internet of Energy,” the business and operational layer associated with energy production and storage, Wartena says.

So Wartena decided to focus on software—creating an “operating system” for energy.

While there are lots of hardware systems available, he saw a dearth of “platforms,” or operating systems. And as we add electric vehicles, renewable energy and energy storage to energy system, we need such operating systems more than ever.

For example, if companies are generating more power than they need using renewable energy, and selling that power to the utility, they need an energy operating system to allow them to track changing prices, generate and store power, and sell it back to the grid.

That’s where GELI’s software comes in.

In a microgrid, GELI’s software makes operational decisions based on the price of power and energy, in addition to the electrical status and activity of the microgrid itself and other system components. It optimizes the energy storage system within the context of the microgrid and the power grid.

For this work, GELI recently garnered an Innovation Award by Energy Storage North America. The awards identified the leading energy storage projects in North America.

The company’s business model focuses on getting energy storage out there as quickly as possible. Rather than offer a turnkey system, the company brings different components together, provides integration software, and lets its customers—solar developers—buy from original equipment manufacturers.

“We provide the software and define the systems so they can go to OEMs and get components; this results in lower-cost systems,” he says.

For example, the company now has a microgrid in Marin County that integrates diesel, solar, and some facility loads. Another project in Los Angeles focuses on demand-charge management behind the meter.

Craig Wilkins, chairman and founder of ViZn Energy Systems, which produces large-scale energy storage technology, agrees that integration is key.

“In a microgrid, a little micro environment, you have few assets to pull from, unlike the grid,” he says. If all you have is solar and wind, the battery is the focal point. It’s the energy reservoir. You need to shift energy from one part of the day to another using storage. We’ll be seeing more integration services,” he says.

GELI’s system can control electric vehicles, solar, storage, diesel backups and mechanical systems, says Wartena. For example, one project will control lighting and mechanical systems during demand-side programs.

“We can ask the lighting system to dim a little to do demand-side management,” he says. “We can coordinate systems to maximize their value.”

Wartena sees many opportunities to better integrate resources and focus on the “Internet of Energy.”

“When I see a lot of cars on the road, I realize they are stationary 95 percent of the time. They have a generator in them that’s not providing value to the building where they are parked.” We need to focus more on being producers, rather than consumers, he adds.

“With the Internet of Energy, you are an interactive part. Everything is automated, from the TV to the Internet. You can put information or services back up, rather than just consuming.”

We’re not there yet, but it appears we’re moving toward prosumer-ism. Advances in software, like the work being done by GELI, make an Internet of Energy seems less and less futuristic; more within reach.

RUSNANO Portfolio Company Profotech Presents New Solution, for Smart Grids with LYSIS - Aug 26, 2014
http://en.rusnano.com/press-centre/news/20140826-rusnano-por…

"CJSC Profotech and LYSIS LLC, two Russian companies specializing in equipment design for digital substations, presented a unique integrated solution at the CIGRE 2014 international exhibition in France.


The solution, intended for construction of 35–1150 kV digital substations, includes optical transformers for current and voltage measurement designed by Profotech, and a hardware-software package by LYSIS, which can be used on universal server platforms and provides all substation protection and management functions. This approach offers savings of up to 60–70% on construction costs and 70% on operating costs for customers. Potential annual savings from use of the solution throughout the Russian electricity grid system are up to 30 billion rubles.

At present the Russian grid is highly depreciated and uses out-of-date equipment: more than 50% of installations are older than their statutory lifetime (25 years) and fail to meet modern standards of measurement accuracy, convenience and reliability.

Outdated infrastructure means that the network cannot meet today’s technology requirements in terms of reliability and safety. At the same time grids are becoming more complex, with exponential growth in the volumes of information needed for management of transmission facilities, monitoring of their technical condition, quality control and accounting. This entails increasing recourse to expensive electronic devices, which often use different data transmission standards, creating problems of compatibility.

The new solution from LYSIS and Profotech, developed entirely by Russian specialists, significantly reduces the amount of measurement and conversion equipment and cables that are needed, reducing the size of premises and achieving maximal levels of standardization and automation. Remote control capabilities make the system easy to use, and there are major gains in the reliability and quality of electricity supply to customers.

Digital optical measurement transformers represent an alternative to conventional measurement transformers, offering high accuracy in gauging of current, voltage and phase. The measured quantities are presented via a digital interface for use in secondary equipment (commercial meters, and devices for telemetry, quality control, relay protection and automation). Profotech transformers provide fully digital measurements, reducing error to the greatest extent possible. Integrated into the structure of a substation, the transformers optimize the architecture of power measurement, protection, management and quality control.

The iSAS software and equipment complex, developed by LYSIS, provides a full life cycle for substation protection and management systems, including design, testing, commissioning, maintenance and operation. iSAS is an automation system for electricity substations using a technology platform, which unifies all the functions of substation protection, management, measurement and quality control on the basis of software modules. The solution is easily transferable to any Linux hardware platform.

Smart grid is a key tool for improving the efficiency of power generation, transmission and distribution. Forecast worldwide public and private investments in smart grid technology up to 2020 are $400 billion, led by China, the United States, Japan, South Korea and Spain.

The solution from Profotech and LYSIS offers major savings throughout Russia’s power industry and gives opportunity of competing on domestic and international markets with the most advanced technologies from industry leaders. "

- Cyber Shield Course Two trainees participate in an Israeli Defense Forces cyber-defense course. IDF Spokesperson's Unit -


People lined both sides of Boylston Street, rounds of cheers going up as runners approached the end of the 2013 Boston marathon. Then white smoke plumed. Windows splintered. Fifteen seconds later, another explosion, and glass shattered onto blackened cement. The detonations knocked athletes to the ground, in some cases blowing the shoes off their feet. Three people died, and another 264 were injured.

The FBI started investigating while first responders were still rushing to the scene. Within three days -- just 101 hours -- the bombers were apprehended.

FBI agents sifted through 13,000 videos and more than 120,000 photographs, drawn from surveillance cameras and onlookers' cell phones. To sort through the piles of footage, law enforcement turned to new technology that can condense an hour of video into just a minute of playback time.

The method, called video synopsis, was invented by an Israeli company called BriefCam, which counts all the right three-letter agencies as clients. (The FBI declined to comment on the specifics of the Boston investigation.)

Video synopsis works in a variety of ways, but most programs layer actions that occur at the same place at different times, making it possible, for example, to see simultaneously every person who walks in a door on a given afternoon. Other notable inquiries have also used BriefCam, like Norway's national security service after Anders Breivik bombed a children's camp there in 2011.

Shmuel Peleg, a co-founder of BriefCam and a professor of computer science at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, says the original intention for the tool was a long way from law enforcement. "One of my students had three kids," he said, and was hoping to come up with a better way of viewing their home videos. The eureka moment came when "one of our friends said most video on earth comes from stationary cameras," Peleg said. "He was in the military at the time," Peleg explained, and immediately thought of surveillance footage. Security cameras at Israel's borders watch for tunnel activity, but it can be hard to identify suspicious behavior in real time. "BriefCam makes it possible to integrate information that happens in a large temporal space," Peleg says, making it perfect for consistent monitoring.

But that a civilian idea was immediately put to military use is not surprising. BriefCam's origin story reveals a common trend in Israel. "The general awareness people here have for risk is always present," Peleg says, and this mentality has made its mark on the country's business climate, influencing technological developments. "Maybe Israelis learn less things [in school] but they know how to come up with ideas, how to manage to survive," Peleg said. "Every one of us is concerned with security." Military life has left an indelible mark on Israel's booming start-up scene, leading the country to the frontlines of the tech ecosystem in odd ways.

This sway manifests most obviously in the security world. After spending six years in an elite tech unit in the Israel Defense Forces, Giora Engel, another Hebrew University alumnus, co-founded a start-up called LightCyber. LightCyber detects computer glitches in corporate environments, focusing on a new wave of electronic threats, which have moved past malware to specifically targeting companies ("like the Target data breach this last November," Engel says.) While in the Defense Forces (IDF), Engel, who has bright red hair and freckles, managed high-risk projects, including coding mission-critical systems. He says Israel is leading the world in cyber-security because people leaving the Army bring "expertise that was previously only found in the defense industry." He continued, "The nation-state cyber-breaks we were accustomed to in the military have now proliferated into the [tech] industry."

Peleg echoed Engel, saying that because of Israel's mandatory army participation, "my students are often called away from their research for reserve service." He said, "You can't think creatively while in service. You only care about survival." But upon his students' return, "new ideas come," enriching research programs.



- Shmuel Peleg -


In addition to fresh thinking, working in an environment where there are often immediate applications of new developments has driven quick innovation. Mantis Vision, a company that uses 3D imaging for a variety of mapping applications, had the Israeli government as an early client for a confidential project. "What I can tell you is this wasn't a product developed for a lab, but a real product that was used," said co-founder Amihai Loven.

Israel is an environment where "there's zero tolerance for work-arounds," Loven said. Part of what's pushing the country's tech boom, he said, is that "there's a lot of pressure to develop something something that actually works, and not just in lab environments." This provides a primal urgency that headquarters in Silicon Valley strewn with kegs and Ping-Pong tables can lack.

"Look at the recent conflict," Loven said, referring to July's deadly flare-up between Hamas and Israel. "The Iron Dome performance is like nothing you can develop in an R&D environment without a threat." The anti-missile system is designed to blow up incoming missiles before they land, and has been deployed frequently in the last month. Despite concerns the Iron Dome is actually less effective than the IDF claims, and setting aside much debate about the imbalance of force between the two sides of the conflict, the Iron Dome is far more sophisticated than alternative anti-rocket systems.

In the long run, the perceived pressure to make things that actually work can be a good thing for the market. "Products need to start high-end from the beginning in order to mature into consumer products," Loven said, citing GPS's beginnings as a defense tool. "If it's just starting as a gadget, there's a glass ceiling" on its utility, he explained.

So perhaps it makes sense there's an unusual amount of governmental support for new ideas. Giora Engel of LightCyber says government organizations are often slow adopters, taking their time in using new technology. But Israel was one of the first countries to develop a cyber-security division, all the way back in 1997. Since then, the country's quietly dominated all sorts of cyber projects -- not least Stuxnet, the notorious computer worm designed in a joint project between U.S. and Israeli forces that took out a fifth of Iran's nuclear centrifuges in 2010.

More recently, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu upped the ante, in 2011 creating the National Cyber Bureau (NCB), which reports directly to Netanyahu's office and increased the country's cyber-defense budgets by 30 percent. He made no bones about its purpose, saying, "We established the National Cyber Bureau for the purpose of transforming the state of Israel into a cyber superpower." NCB trickle-down extends to the startup world: "There's a lot of support for new technology from the government," Engel said, "because they realize that startups can bring them the most cutting edge technology and are valuable to the economy." Statistics suggest the strategy is working: 14.5 percent of all firms worldwide garnering cyber investment are owned by Israelis.

Of course, there are disadvantages of running a business in a region plagued by violence and dominated by the military. Engel said that in July, while business has continued, more or less as usual, in the startup scene, "Some people have been called to their reserve duty in their military units. And it's hard to have conference calls when any moment you may have to run to a bomb shelter."

"In this crazy country, you're always under pressure," Loven said. "If it's not defense, it's to win in the market." "

NOAA offers 20 new coral species federal protection
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/08/28/noaa-offer…

"WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 (UPI) --

Corals are essential to biodiversity in the ocean. They provide food and shelter for a a variety of fish species, serving as a biological anchor for vast marine ecosystems. But corals are under threat. They're on the decline throughout the world thanks to ocean acidification, rising ocean temperatures, and growing pollution.

It was largely these trends and environmental factors that inspired the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), on Tuesday, to announce the protection of 20 new coral species. The agency's ruling means there are now 10 times as many coral species on the Endangered Species List than there were previously. Prior to Tuesday's ruling, only the Caribbean's elkhorn and staghorn corals had been offered federal protection.

Because the 20 new corals are currently only listed as "threatened" and not "endangered," the new ruling won't necessarily place any additional restrictions on activities in, around or involving the corals. But it will empower federal regulators to keep a closer watch on how human activities and development affect these vulnerable marine organisms. The NOAA -- in conjunction with other federal and local conservation agencies -- could institute more stringent restrictions in the future.

"We will continue to work with communities to help them understand how the agency's decision may or may not affect them," the NOAA said in a press release. "The tools available under the Endangered Species Act are sufficiently flexible so that they can be used in partnership with coastal jurisdictions, in a manner that will allow activity to move forward in a way that does not jeopardize listed coral."

"We will now work with partners on mitigation measures and recovery strategies for the newly listed corals, building from approaches that have shown success elsewhere," the agency added.

"Most of these species, particularly in the Caribbean, have started to experience some impacts from bleaching and elevated temperatures and disease," David Bernhart, a biologist with NOAA Fisheries Service in St. Petersburg, Fla., told National Geographic. Bleaching is when coral expel the symbiotic algae living inside them -- usually in reaction to rising water temperature. When corals bleach themselves, they are not dead, but they are momentarily much more vulnerable to other environmental stressors.

Bernhart hopes the new ruling will instigate more proactive conservation and recovery programs -- and help keep the corals from ever having to have their designation switched from "threatened" to "endangered."

Scientists "pioneer strategy, for creating new materials" - NW/DoE/ERNSC/ANL, ARGONNE - Aug 29, 2014

" Making something new is never easy. Scientists constantly theorize about new materials, but when the material is manufactured it doesn’t always work as expected. To create a new strategy for designing materials, scientists at the Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory combined two different approaches at two different facilities to synthesize new materials.

This new strategy gives faster feedback on what growth schemes are best, thus shortening the timeframe to manufacture a new, stable material for energy transport and conversion applications.

A recent article in Nature Materials ("Dynamic layer rearrangement during growth of layered oxide films by molecular beam epitaxy") describes how researchers used X-ray scattering during a process called molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) to observe the behavior of atoms as a type of material known as layered oxides were being formed. These observations were then used as data for computational predictions of new materials, leading to insights on how to best combine atoms to form new, stable structures.



- The expected atomic structure of film based on the growth sequence and layer swap that occurs in the real growth. -


“MBE is the construction of new materials one layer at a time—and each layer is one-atom thick. We used a new type of MBE system to observe what happens during the growth of oxide thin films. We found that the layers spontaneously rearrange to reach a lower energy, preferred configuration—but not necessarily the configuration we intended,” said John Freeland, the Argonne physicist who led the team. “Most scientists would not expect layers to move around like this, but this is important information to know when designing new materials.”

In experimenting with a class of oxides known as strontium titanates, the research team found that when they layered titanium on top of two layers of Strontium, the titanium layer switched places with the second strontium layer, thus becoming the center layer. When titanium was layered on multiple layers of strontium, titanium always switched places with the strontium layer directly underneath it (Figures 1 and 2).

Argonne chemist June Hyuk Lee lead the experimental development of the in situ oxide MBE, and Guangfu Luo from the University of Wisconsin-Madison developed the theoretical approach to unraveling the energetics that drive the layer rearrangements.

The research team included expertise from Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source (APS), Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM), Chemical Sciences and Engineering, and Materials Science, and partners from Northwestern University, the University of Connecticut-Storrs and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who wanted to understand the driving force behind the rearrangements. Using density functional theory (DFT) and computational resources at the CNM, they calculated and compared the energies of different layer sequences, using the data collected from the MBE system. They found that the actual layer sequences corresponded to the lowest energy configuration. Their computations also showed that layer exchange was not unique to strontium and titanium; in fact, it was expected for many different materials systems. With this understanding, scientists can control—on an atomic level—the growth of oxide thin-films.

“What we have here is a new strategy for materials design and synthesis,” said Argonne materials scientist and article co-author Dillon Fong. “Our combination of in situ X-ray scattering with computational theory can be extended to other layered materials and structures, even theoretical ones that haven’t been made yet because they are challenging to manufacture.”
This new strategy gives faster feedback on what growth strategies are best, thus shortening the timeframe to actual manufacture of a new, stable material.

In the future, Argonne wants to make oxide MBE a tool available to APS facility users for synthesis science. “The APS was instrumental in making our findings possible,” explained Freeland. “The X-rays gave us the quantitative information we needed to plug into the theoretical framework, which in turn will allow us—and other APS users--to make new materials more efficiently.”

Films were grown in the in situ X-ray chamber at Sector 33ID-E of the APS. Calculations were carried out on the Fusion Cluster of Argonne's Laboratory Computing Resource Center at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) and on Argonne's Carbon Cluster.

" 'Breakthrough' in light sources, for new quantum technology" - NW/PRL/NBI/UoC, COPENHAGEN - Aug 29, 2014

"Electronic circuits are based on electrons, but one of the most promising technologies for future quantum circuits are photonic circuits, i.e. circuits based on light (photons) instead of electrons. First, it is necessary to be able to create a stream of single photons and control their direction. Researchers around the world have made all sorts of attempts to achieve this control, but now scientists at the Niels Bohr Institute have succeeded in creating a steady stream of photons emitted one at a time and in a particular direction. The breakthrough has been published in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters ("Probing Electric and Magnetic Vacuum Fluctuations with Quantum Dots").



- This is an illustration of the single-photon cannon. A quantum dot (illustrated with the yellow symbol) emits one photon (red wave packet) at a time. The quantum dot is embedded in a photonic-crystal structure, which is obtained by etching holes (black circles) in a semiconducting material (light grey). Due to the holes, the photons are not emitted in all directions, but only along the channel where there are no holes. Only 1.6 percent of the emitted photons will be emitted in other directions (illustrated by the upward moving photon) and is thus lost, while 98.4 percent are emitted in the desired direction. (Illustration: Marta Arcari, Niels Bohr Institute) -


Photons and electrons behave very differently at the quantum level. A quantum is the smallest unit in the atomic world and photons are the basic units of light and electrons of electrical current. Electrons are so-called fermions and can easily flow individually, while photons are bosons that prefer to clump together. But because information for quantum communication based on photonics lies in the individual photon, it is necessary to be able to send them one at a time.

"So you need to emit the photons from a fermionic system and we do this by creating an extremely strong interaction between light and matter," explains Peter Lodahl, Professor and head of the research group Quantum Photonics at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen.


Photon canon

The researchers have developed a kind of single-photon cannon integrated on an optical chip. The optical chip consists of an extremely small photonic crystal that is 10 microns wide and 160 nanometers thick. Embedded in the centre of the chip is a light source, a so-called quantum dot.
"What we then do is shine laser light on the quantum dot, where there are atoms with electrons in orbit around the nucleus. The laser light excites the electrons, which then jump from one orbit to another and thereby emit one photon at a time. Normally, light is scattered in all directions, but we have designed the photonic chip so that all of the photons are sent through only one channel," explains Søren Stobbe, Associate Professor of the Quantum Photonic research group at the Niels Bohr Institute.

Peter Lodahl and Søren Stobbe explain that it not only works, but also that it is extremely effective. "We can control the photons and send them in the direction we want with a 98.4 percent success rate. This is ultimate control over the interaction between matter and light and has amazing potential. Such a single-photon cannon has long been sought after in the research field and opens up fascinating new opportunities for fundamental experiments and new technologies," they explain.

The two researchers are in the process of patenting several parts of their work, with a specific goal of developing a prototype high-efficiency single-photon source, which could be used for encryption or for calculations of complex quantum mechanical problems and in general, is an essential building block for future quantum technologies. It is expected that the future's quantum technology will lead to new ways to code unbreakable information and to carry out complex parallel calculations.

- A new quantum imaging technique generates images with photons that have never touched to object — in this case a sketch of a cat. This alludes to the famous Schrödinger cat paradox , in which a cat inside a closed box is said to be simultaneously dead and alive as long there is no information outside the box to rule out one option over the other . Similarly, the new imaging technique relies on a lack of information, regarding where the photons are created and which path they take.

Researchers from the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI), the Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology (VCQ), and the University of Vienna have developed a fundamentally new quantum imaging technique with strikingly counterintuitive features.

For the first time, an image has been obtained without ever detecting the light that was used to illuminate the imaged object, while the light revealing the image never touches the imaged object .

In general, to obtain an image of an object one has to illuminate it with a light beam and use a camera to sense the light that is either scattered or transmitted through that object. The type of light used to shine onto the object depends on the properties that one would like to image. Unfortunately, in many practical situations the ideal type of light for the illumination of the object is one for which cameras do not exist.

The experiment published in Nature this week for the first time breaks this seemingly self-evident limitation. The object (e.g. the contour of a cat) is illuminated with light that remains undetected. Moreover, the light that forms an image of the cat on the camera never interacts with it. In order to realise their experiment, the scientists use so-called “entangled” pairs of photons. These pairs of photons – which are like interlinked twins – are created when a laser interacts with a non-linear crystal. In the experiment, the laser illuminates two separate crystals, creating one pair of twin photons (consisting of one infrared photon and a “sister” red photon) in either crystal. The object is placed in between the two crystals. The arrangement is such that if a photon pair is created in the first crystal, only the infrared photon passes through the imaged object. Its path then goes through the second crystal where it fully combines with any infrared photons that would be created there.

With this crucial step, there is now, in principle, no possibility to find out which crystal actually created the photon pair. Moreover, there is now no information in the infrared photon about the object. However, due to the quantum correlations of the entangled pairs the information about the object is now contained in the red photons – although they never touched the object. Bringing together both paths of the red photons (from the first and the second crystal) creates bright and dark patterns, which form the exact image of the object. ..."

"Thousand-Robot Swarm Hints @Future Car, Drone, Even Nanobot Collectives" - SU/HU/SEAS/WI/SM, HARVARD - Aug 18 2014

When you think nanorobot, you don’t think just one. Or ten. You think millions or billions. Huge swarms of nanobots may work in concert with each other to accomplish tasks on tiny scales, perhaps in the human body, or more radically, to form larger robots, each nanobot functioning like a mechanical cell or 3D pixel.

Although we don’t have practical nanobots yet, we can work on the software that may coordinate them—and in fact, that’s exactly what a Harvard group has been up to.

Working out of Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Wyss Institute, researchers Radhika Nagpal, Michael Rubenstein, and Alejandro Cornejo first unveiled their quarter-sized Kilobots in 2011 when 25 of them were shown capable of performing synchronized actions.

The name Kilobot refers to the goal of building collectives of a thousand coordinated robots. That initial squad of 25 grew to 100 last year and now, most recently, to 1024. In a new video, the robots autonomously assume shapes with no more guidance than the original input from the researchers (e.g., form the letter ‘K’).

Each $14 robot is exceedingly simple, just two vibrating motors on four spindly legs.

But we know from a flock of swallows or an ant colony that complex patterns can arise from simple individual behaviors. In this case, four Kilobots mark the center of a grid. Then, by hopping along the edge of the group and noting the relative distance to the center and each other with infrared transmitters and receivers, the bots shuffle into place.




From these basic abilities they can form shapes—letters, a wrench, a starfish.

“Biological collectives involve enormous numbers of cooperating entities—whether you think of cells or insects or animals—that together accomplish a single task that is a magnitude beyond the scale of any individual,” said Michael Rubenstein, lead author of the group’s recent paper in the journal Science and research associate at Harvard SEAS and the Wyss Institute.

Algorithms can be written and tested in computer models, but having real world robots to test them on is key. In practice the robots need to self-correct for problems like traffic jams and broken or wayward bots. Cost is also often a limiting factor. According to Harvard Gazette, only few robot swarms have so far surpassed 100 members.

In the future, we may see more and more machines behaving as collectives in groups that far exceed 1,000. But we won’t have to wait around for robots built on the nanoscale. Human-scale robots will benefit from coordination too—examples may include disaster response, environmental cleanup, drone delivery systems, or self-driving cars.

“Increasingly, we’re going to see large numbers of robots working together, whether it’s hundreds of robots cooperating to achieve environmental cleanup or a quick disaster response, or millions of self-driving cars on our highways,” Nagpal said.

Robotic Bees Designed to Pollinate Crops 'Making Significant Strides' - SU/HU/NASA, HARVARD - Aug 6, 2014
http://singularityhub.com/2014/08/06/robotic-bees-designed-t…

"


In Harvard researcher Robert Wood’s lab, a robot the size of a quarter lifts off the ground, its wings a blur. This micromachine, or RoboBee, is a marvel of modern robotics, able to hover and steer by independently flapping its wings 120 times a second.

RoboBee’s inventors think it might one day pollinate crops, supporting bee populations that are struggling to overcome colony collapse disorder—a phenomenon in which bee keepers are losing an abnormally high number of hives to as yet unconfirmed causes.

But there’s a catch.

To do anything as complicated as crop pollination, RoboBee needs to be autonomous—and it isn’t. Being as lightweight as possible is crucial for flying robots. And while RoboBee has advanced over the years, from flying in only a straight line to making turns, it still trails an electrical umbilical cord for power because it can’t lift batteries.

That may be about to change, however, according to Kevin Ma, a graduate student and mechanical engineer on Wood’s RoboBee team. In a Business Insider interview, Ma said the team will soon free RoboBee of its tether. They’re building a larger version that can carry a battery and the various components necessary for autonomous flight.

Ma said, “We’re on the eve of the next big development. Something will be published in the next few months. The robot can now carry more weight. That’s important for the battery and other electronics and sensors.”

Ditching the tether is critical, but of course, it’s only the first step.

Other challenges include getting it to perform specific tasks and fly faster. And battery technology is still a bottleneck in flying robots. RoboBee’s larger brethren—popular quadcopter drones, for example—can only stay aloft for ten or fifteen minutes at a time. A swarm of robot pollinators would ideally be out in the fields for much longer.

Working out the kinks will take time. Ma said, “With continued government funding and research we could see this thing functional in 10 to 15 years.”




Will tiny flying robots one day be used to pollinate crops? Maybe. Maybe not.

Finding a big application helps inspire research and attract funding and publicity. Indeed, in 2007, RoboBee was Harvard’s “robotic fly”—decidedly less catchy. Colony collapse disorder is a high profile worry, and tiny flying robots may be part of the solution.

But forget specific applications for a second. If the robot was dubbed RoboFly, it might not get quite as much coverage, but it would be just as groundbreaking.

Although engineers may invent something with a specific purpose in mind, the actual invention (or even just parts of it) often ends up being useful in many alternate applications that only become apparent later in the hands of others.

Memory foam, for example, was developed under a NASA contract as seat cushioning and crash protection for pilots and passengers in flight. Now, we sleep on the stuff put it in helmets and shoes (with an antibacterial topper, of course).

Another prime illustration is the miniaturization of chips and sensors for handheld devices. These components are, of course, indispensable in smartphones and tablets, and such devices were the driving force that funded and directed the innovation.

But increasingly tiny sensors and chips are finding uses outside the original intention: the Internet of Things, wearable devices, and miniature robots.

Though news stories focus on pollination, the team lists other possible uses: search and rescue after a natural disaster, hazardous environmental exploration, military surveillance, high resolution weather and climate mapping, and traffic monitoring.

And how about robot swarms monitoring crop health and performing plant maintenance? Or keeping an eye on key infrastructure in cities, maybe even making repairs?

One or all of these may prove a good use for RoboBee (and similar bots). But they’re also already commonly cited as likely future uses for flying robots of all sizes.

It’s the stuff that no one thinks of early on that’s most radical and groundbreaking later. And just as miniature sensors and chips are finding their way into multiple fields, the same may well be true of innovations in robotics like the ones the RoboBee team continues to press on toward.

Nanofluids " "could" be the key to getting the most out , of the sun" - NW/MI - Sep 1, 2014
www.nanowerk.com/nanotechnology-news/newsid=37145.php?utm_so…

"In 2010, global power consumption from all energy sources amounted to 17 terawatts. Amazingly, this is less than 0.02% of the power available from the sun.

Despite the sheer magnitude of energy presented, solar energy reaching the earth’s surface is typically considered ‘low grade’.

Fortunately, a number of solar concentrating devices are available to help convert solar energy into a more potent form. But once that energy is concentrated, we need to be able to capture and store it.

Current methods of capturing solar energy typically use flow receivers. The concentrated solar energy falls on a tube through which a fluid is flowing. It heats the fluid, which can then pass that heat on elsewhere, and eventually be used to generate electricity.




A more promising capture method for concentrated solar power plants, called volumetric absorption, uses the material both to capture and transport concentrated solar energy.

Because of this dual function, volumetric absorption presents an opportunity to reduce the energy losses and improve energy efficiency above that of current flow receiver methods.

The challenge is how to get the volumetric absorption material to absorb as much energy as possible, without impinging on its other necessary functions.
Nanoscience offers some enticing possibilities. Nanofluids – suspensions of nanoparticles in fluids – have great potential as volumetric solar absorbers.
The nanoparticles, if selected correctly, can convert light energy from the sun to thermal energy within the fluid that contains them. Even very small quantities of nanoparticles are able to absorb nearly all of the incident solar radiation.

Employing nanofluids in volumetric receivers would provide flexibility in that the optical properties can be tuned to ensure optimum absorption of light energy.

As part of my thesis research at the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, I am exploring ways to optimize nanofluid-based volumetric solar receivers.

Volumetric receivers can be separated into two broad components: the absorbing medium, and the housing that contains it.
We are looking to improve energy efficiency in both by assessing the impact of various alterations.

In the housing component, we are looking at how changing the shape and changing the materials affects the overall performance.

We also have found improvements when we tune the optical properties by adjusting the fraction of nanoparticles within the absorption material.
It is our hope that this research will contribute to enhancing humankind’s ability to capitalize on the ready supply of solar energy our planet receives.

We are continuing our research in this regard with experimental characterization to find the best nanofluid for solar absorption with the goal of providing insight into properties that current theories can’t predict.
We are also looking at developing nanofluids that can efficiently absorb solar energy, as well storing the resulting thermal energy.

Our vision is to use nanofluids to harness and store the immense energy presented by the sun, thereby contributing to Abu Dhabi’s renewable energy goals, and the clean energy needs of the world at large.

NSF grant, to explore 'sophisticated carbon nanotube-based DNA sequencing' - NW/CAREER/BU, BINGHAMTON - Aug 31, 2014
www.nanowerk.com/nanotechnology-news/newsid=37143.php?utm_so…

" A Binghamton University physicist’s experiments may one day lead to sophisticated sensors that are able to detect small amounts of dangerous materials rapidly.

A new $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation’s prestigious Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program will enable Stephen Levy, assistant professor of physics, to study how DNA travels through carbon nanotubes.

“You can picture it like spaghetti, being sucked through a straw ,” he said.




Stephen Levy, assistant professor of physics, applied physics and astronomy, works with students Alexander Klepinger and Madeline Greenier in his Science 2 laboratory.

A nanotube is a cylinder made from a sheet of carbon that’s just one atom thick. Fluids travel through these tiny tubes differently than they do through a large pipe, though scientists don’t know exactly why. Some experts hope that nanotubes will lead to a next-generation method of sequencing DNA. Nanotubes may also help scientists understand some aspects of how small molecules are transported into cells.

Levy has developed a way to study one carbon nanotube at a time. Other labs study thousands at once, or use electrical observations of how DNA moves through nanotubes. Levy’s team has developed a way to conduct electrical, optical and fluorescent observations of single-stranded DNA molecules at the same time. His lab has also pioneered a fabrication technique that makes it possible to integrate carbon nanotubes within small fluidic channels.
Levy, who received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Richmond, earned a doctorate from the University of California Santa Barbara, where he did graduate work at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. He also did a post-doctoral stint with the University of Chicago at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. After that, Levy essentially switched fields, leaving particle physics behind and studying biophysics for four years at Cornell University before joining Binghamton’s faculty in 2010.

Today Levy draws on principles from physics, biology, chemistry and materials science in his research. He’s particularly interested in how DNA, the genetic material found in nearly all living things, travels through these nanotubes. The information in DNA can be thought of as a code of four chemical bases. These four bases pair up in different combinations. Some combinations — or “markers” — are unique to certain animals or molecules and can be used to identify them.

Levy’s research could enable the electrical detection of particular molecules. For instance, a sensor at a post office could be programmed to search for a specific DNA marker.

“If you can read where that marker is, it’s almost like a bar code,” Levy said. “You don’t want to sequence every piece of schmutz that goes through there because it takes a long time and it’s fairly expensive. But if you have a quick way of identifying a dangerous molecule, that’s valuable.”

The "emerging class of two-dimensional layered materials shows 'breakthrough' "potential" " - NW/EFRI-2D/NSF/UCLA/HSSoE&AS/PNNL/UoW, WASHINGTON - Aug 31, 2014
www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1433541
www.nanowerk.com/nanotechnology-news/newsid=37144.php?utm_so…

"A team of UCLA researchers has received a $2-million, four-year grant ("EFRI 2-DARE: Scalable Synthesis of 2D Layered Materials for Large Area Flexible Thin Film Electronics") from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Frontiers in Research and Innovation to explore new approaches to assembling nanoscale materials for use in a variety of manufacturing and research applications.


Known as two-dimensional layered materials, or 2DLMs, this emerging class of materials shows breakthrough potential in fundamental materials science and technologies, including electronics, optoelectronics, bioelectronics, energy conversion and energy storage.

“Two-dimensional layered materials have great promise to open up new technologies that take advantage of their ultra-thin properties,” said Yu Huang, the project principal investigator and an associate professor of materials science and engineering at the UCLA Henry Sameuli School of Engineering and Applied Science. “We are looking to understand their fundamental electronic, chemical and physical properties and explore manufacturing processes that are low-cost and simple for industry to adopt.”



- Hu Huang, associate professor of materials science and engineering -


Co-principal investigators on the research include Kang L. Wang. UCLA’s Raytheon Professor of Electrical Engineering; Xiangfeng Duan, UCLA’s Howard Reiss Career Development Chair in Chemistry & Biochemistry; and James De Yoreo, chief scientist for Materials Synthesis and Simulation Across Scales at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and an affiliate professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Washington.

The best known 2DLM is graphene, a sheet of carbon just one atom thick. The UCLA group will concentrate on 2DLMs comprised of well-defined crystalline structures such as transition metal dichalcogenides. They will explore the scalable production of these versatile 2DLMs using methods that are relatively simple and inexpensive.

Specifically, the team will research an approach for assembling electronics-grade, continuous films of two-dimensional layered materials from nano-scale plates suspended in liquids. This potentially low-cost method could allow for excellent control of chemical composition, structure and dimensions, and therefore could be individualized to specific applications. A range of 2DLMs could enable transformative advances across a wide range of traditional and emerging technologies.

Microphysiological systems "will 'revolutionize' experimental biology, +medicine" - Phys.org/DARPA/NIH/NCATS/FDA/SfEB&M - Sep 2, 2014
http://phys.org/wire-news/171124775/microphysiological-syste…

"The Annual Thematic issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine that appears in September 2014 is devoted to "The biology and medicine of microphysiological systems" and describes the work of scientists participating in the Microphysiological Systems Program directed by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and funded in part by the NIH Common Fund. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are collaborating with the NIH in the program. Fourteen of the research teams supported by the program have contributed papers and represent more than 20 institutions, including Baylor College of Medicine, Columbia University, Cornell University, Duke University, Johns Hopkins University, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northwestern University, Nortis, Inc., the University of California, Irvine, the University of Central Florida, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Texas Medical Branch, and Vanderbilt University.

Dr. John P. Wikswo, founding Director of the Vanderbilt Institute for Integrative Biosystems Research and Education and Editor of the Thematic Issue, explains in his introductory review that microphysiological systems (MPS) – often called "organs-on-chips" – are interacting sets of constructs of human cells. Each construct is designed to recapitulate the structure and function of a human organ or organ region, and when connected in an MPS, they may provide in vitro models with great physiological accuracy for studying cell-cell, drug-cell, drug-drug, and organ-drug interactions. The papers in the Thematic Issue describe the ongoing development of MPS as in vitro models for bone and cartilage, brain, gastrointestinal tract, lung, liver, microvasculature, reproductive tract, skeletal muscle, and skin, as well as the interconnection of organs-on-chips to support physiologically based pharmacokinetics and drug discovery and screening, and the microscale technologies that regulate stem cell differentiation. Wikswo notes that the initial motivation for creating MPS was to increase the efficiency and human relevance of pharmaceutical development and testing. Obvious applications of the technology include studies of the effect of environmental toxins on humans, identification, characterization, and neutralization of chemical and biological weapons, controlled studies of the microbiome and infectious disease that cannot be conducted in humans, controlled differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells into specific adult cellular phenotypes, and studies of the dynamics of metabolism and signaling within and between human organs.

In his commentary for the Thematic Issue, Dr. William Slikker Jr., Director of the FDA's National Center for Toxicological Research, writes "The goal [is] to accomplish this human-on-a-chip capability in a decade – a feat somewhat equivalent to the moon shot of the 1960s – and, like landing man on the moon, simulating a human being from a physiological/toxicological perspective may indeed be possible. But even if ultimately it is not, a great deal of fundamental biology and physiology will be elucidated along the way, much to the benefit of our understanding of human health and disease processes."

Dr. D. Lansing Taylor, Director of the University of Pittsburgh Drug Discovery Institute, says "The Thematic Issue brings together the leaders of the field of Human-on-a-Chip to discuss the early successes, great potential and continuing challenges of this emerging field. For complete success, we must integrate advances in multiple technical areas, including microfluidics, stem cell biology, 3D microstructures/matrices, multi-cell engineering, universal blood substitutes, and a variety of biological detection technologies, database tools, and computational modeling for both single and a combination of organ systems. Success will be transformative for basic biology, physiology, pharmacology, toxicology and medicine, as well as the new field of quantitative systems pharmacology, where iterative experimentation and computational modeling of disease models and pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics are central. The focus is to create physiologically relevant, robust, reproducible and cost-effective tools for the scientific community."

Dr. Danilo A. Tagle, NIH NCATS Associate Director for Special Initiatives, adds "This special issue highlights the exciting and rapid progress towards development of MPS for drug safety and efficacy testing. Much progress has been achieved in the two years of the program, and these articles describe the efforts by an outstanding group of investigators towards realizing the goal of fully integrated 10 organ systems. There are tremendous scientific opportunities and discoveries that could be had in the future utility of these tissues/organs on chips."

Dr. Steven R. Goodman, Editor-in-Chief of Experimental Biology and Medicine, agrees. "We are proud to publish this Thematic Issue dedicated to "The biology and medicine of microphysiological systems." Dr. John Wikswo is to be congratulated for assembling an exceptional group of researchers who are leaders in the field of MPS and the many uses of this exciting technology. MPS has the potential to revolutionize experimental biology and medicine. Because of the great importance and promise of organs-on-chips and MPS technology, it has now become a major area of emphasis for the Systems Biology category of Experimental Biology and Medicine."

Bushveld targets maiden phosphate resource estimate - Mar 19, 2014
ww1.investorrelations.co.uk/feed/custom/bushveld/regulatoryn…


Multicommodity projects "rolling out on Bushveld’s rich northern limb"[+Video] - MW/CMR, JOHANNESBURG - Mar 20, 2014

- M. Creamer -
www.miningweekly.com/article/multi-commodity-projects-rollin…

"Multicommodity-focused projects embracing iron-ore, vanadium, titanium and phosphate are rolling out on the rich northern limb of South Africa’s Bushveld Complex, a huge mineral repository best known for its world-leading platinum and chrome endowment.

Currently some of the Bushveld’s least-mined metals and minerals are beginning to come to the fore as experienced South African geologists prove up the area as a new iron-ore province with strong titanium and vanadium by-products.

The Council for Geoscience estimates that the Bushveld hosts between 25-billion tons and 27-billion tons of iron-ore and the metallurgical impediments that have stood in the way of easy exploitation have been steadily removed.

In addition, the Bushveld granites contain tin, as well as fluoride, uranium, base metals and rare earths.

“All of a sudden, if you look at the area, it’s probably the richest piece of real estate on the planet ,” Bushveld Minerals technical director, Professor Richard Viljoen, formerly of the University of the Witwatersrand, tells Mining Weekly Online in a video interview (see attached).

The London Aim-listed Bushveld Minerals itself has what its CEO Fortune Mojapelo describes as “very systematic” multicommodity project implementation, which takes full advantage of all of the credits of every available commodity.

There is thus another Merensky reef story unfolding outside of the traditional platinum and chromium paradigm.

“Getting this right has huge implications for the Bushveld Complex, which to date has not really been exploited from an iron-ore, vanadium and titanium perspective,” Mojapelo points out.

Bushveld Minerals’ first drill hole intersected a very thick titanium-magnetite layer, from which the company has developed a 718-million-ton multi-commodity resource.

The company now has four key platforms made up of iron-ore, vanadium, tin, and with the acquisition late last year of ASX-listed Lemur Resources, a large coal deposit in Madagascar, as well as a relatively high junior-miner cash balance of $16-million.

Bushveld Minerals’ parallel iron-ore and vanadium deposits are 1.5 km apart, which positions them well for the sharing of infrastructure, including initial processing infrastructure.

Critical to the company’s iron-ore success is being able to extract the vanadium, titanium and even the phosphate credits through the vertical integration of mining and processing and the implementation of value-adding production, which fits hand-and-glove the South African government’s beneficiation policy.

The project is not only close to rail infrastructure, but also to large beneficiation-supporting coal deposits.

The iron-ore project, which has an opencastable resource along a strike of 6 km, has the potential to be fast-tracked.


OLD ZAAIPLAATS TIN

In the vicinity of the old Zaaiplaats tin operation – which is 10 km west of the Bushveld Minerals’ iron-ore, titanium and vanadium project – a thick, low-grade opencastable tin deposit is being delineated.

Director and former Wits Professor, Morris Viljoen, and his technical team, are studying the tin mineralisation of the upper part of the granites that overlie the iron-ore layer.

The Zaaiplaats and Groenfontein areas have been drilled out and the company is looking forward to relatively easy outcrop mining.

Currently, the company has a proven resource of 18 500 t, which it wants to increase and take to production.

“It’s not a very capital expenditure-heavy operation and it’s not infrastructure constrained,” says Mojapelo, who would like to see it generating cash in the near term.

No tin is produced in South Africa and the company is keen to restart it and create a potentially listable tin platform.


LEMUR RESOURCES

Lemur Resources, which Bushveld Minerals acquired late last year, is drilling out a 136-million-ton thermal coal resource in southern Madagascar, where it is working with the government to set up a power project.

With many up-and-coming Madagascan mineral projects also concentrated in the south, Lemur CEO Anthony Viljoen sees strong offtake for its coal and also hopes to realise an export component, which would take advantage of Madagascar being a few days shorter sailing distance to the Indian market than Richards Bay Coal Terminal.

In addition, Lemur is looking in Southern Africa for either early-stage greenfield coal acquisitions or large-project acquisitions as part of a consortium.

Meanwhile, Bushveld Minerals is continuing to immerse itself in the discovery of early-stage projects under the guiding philosophy of only developing prospects that are low on the cost curve, have scale potential and which can become platforms for strategic partnerships with operational companies.

Solar Harvesting Windows "Possible", With Advances in Semiconductors - CT/YE360/LANL, LOS ALAMOS - Apr 16, 2014
www.lanl.gov/newsroom/news-releases/2014/April/04.14-shiny-q…http://cleantechies.com/2014/04/16/solar-harvesting-windows-…

"New semiconductor technology is advancing the development of house windows that could double as solar panels, according to scientists from Los Alamos National Lab and Italy. Their research into so-called “quantum dots” — ultra-small bits of semiconductors that transmit energy extremely efficiently and can be tuned toward specific colors — shows that quantum dots can be used in transparent materials to harvest sunlight with efficiencies comparable to standard solar panels.

When highly transparent materials are embedded with quantum dots, they are known as luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs); the structures can absorb sunlight and re-radiate it at longer wavelengths directed toward the edge of the slab, where the energy is collected by a solar cell.

“The LSC serves as a light-harvesting antenna that concentrates solar radiation collected from a large area onto a much smaller solar cell, and this increases its power output,” the lead researcher explained. In tests using large LSC slabs (sized in tens of centimeters), researchers reported harvesting photons at roughly 10 percent efficiency. Typical photovoltaic solar panels have an average efficiency of about 15 percent. "

Mineral exploration in space "to return results, in 2020"; Mining in outer space "is a step "closer" to reality, as Japanese scientists prepare to launch a new probe, to conduct mineral exploration on asteroids" - MA/JAXA/BI/CNBC/E - Sep 4, 2014

" Mining in outer space is a step closer to reality, as Japanese scientists prepare to launch a new probe to conduct mineral exploration on asteroids.

The Haybusa-2 probe will be sent on a four year voyage to an asteroid dubbed 1999JU3.

The project is run by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).




The exploration satellite will arrive at the asteroid in 2018, when it will fire a projectile into the asteroid to blast off material, gather the loose material and then return to Earth.

The arrival of Hayabusa-2, barring unforeseen mishaps, should coincide with the Tokyo Olympic games in 2020.

1999JU3 is a spherical asteroid, about one kilometre across, and is speculated to contain organic matter and water.

The first Hayabusa probe was only able to collect dust samples from the surface of the asteroid, which may have been altered by exposure to energy sources in the universe.

Jiji press reported that project leader Hitoshi Kuninaka was grateful that the new probe was nearly complete.

“Of course, I hope things will go smoothly,” Kuninaka said.

“We have had many difficulties in the process of developing the new asteroid probe. Space is never an easy place.”

Last year an American company called Deep Space Industries announced it would build a fleet of asteroid mining space craft to exploit the mineral riches of space (or deep space, as the case may be).

The company claims the first of its exploration probes, said to be as small as toasters by CNBC, will be launched in 2016.

Chinese scientists have also developed a keen interest in mining on the Moon, which contains various minerals such as iron, gold, platinum and tungsten, as well as the incredibly rare Helium-3, which is valued at up to $90,000 per ounce.

Although the earth contains the lighter-than-air Helium-4 (in itself a finite resource), Helium-3 is extremely rare, and is believed to have the capacity to generate amazing amounts of power, such that 40 tonnes would be able to power the US for a year.

Helium-3 is emitted by the Sun, and abundant on the Moon, however only a few hundred kilograms are thought to exist on Earth as it is protected from entry of certain elements by an atmosphere. "

Deutsche Post DHL "Goes Green, in a Big Way", >60 percent of its global electricity demand is now generated from renewable sources - CT/2GE - Sep 4, 2014
http://cleantechies.com/2014/09/04/deutsche-post-dhl-goes-gr…

"Deutsche Post DHL is the result of the privatization of Germany’s post office and its merger with parcel and logistics giant DHL; its operations around the globe generate annual revenues exceeding 51 billion Euros. Last week, Deutsche Post DHL passed a new milestone of its environmental protection program called “GoGreen” — more than 60 percent of its global electricity demand is now generated from renewable sources.

I love how Christof Ehrhart, Executive Vice President Corporate Communications and Responsibility announced this achievement; it’s something you’re more likely to hear from a German-based company than one here in the U.S.: “Environmental sustainability is an integral part of our company strategy. Our efforts and the progress we make towards becoming an environmentally friendly company are on the one hand a sign of respect for the world we live in and on the other hand this also supports our customers’ needs.”

Let that sink in for a moment: their tens of millions of customers all around the world are demanding that they behave in a way that demonstrates respect for the world we live in, and that, in turn, requires them to wean themselves off of fossil fuels.

When we stop and look around us, we see how rapidly this whole movement is accelerating. "

Kyocera +Ciel et Terre "to Construct 'World’s Largest Floating Solar Power Plant' " - CT - Sep 4, 2014
http://cleantechies.com/2014/09/04/kyocera-and-ciel-et-terre…

"In post-Fukushima Japan, the need for an increase in the use of renewable energy is becoming clearer and clearer as coal use continues to rise dramatically. Securing tracts of land suitable for utility scale solar is becoming more difficult as solar adoption has ramped up in recent years. The solution, announced this week by Kyocera TCL Solar LLC and Ciel et Terre is to utilize the country’s abundant water surfaces as the base for floating solar installations.

Kyocera plans to develop floating installations for reservoirs in the country utilizing Ciel et Terre’s Hydrelio© floating solar platforms in two installations, totaling 2.9 megawatts (MW) at Nishihira Pond and Higashihira Pond in Kato City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. The 1.7MW plant planned at Nishihira Pond will become the world’s largest solar power generating system installed on water. Combined, the plants will use 11,256 Kyocera 255-watt solar modules and is expected to generate approximately 3,300 MWh/year.




Some of the features highlighted by the project include:

1. Generates more electricity than ground-mount and rooftop systems thanks to the cooling effect of the water.

2. Reduces reservoir evaporation and algae growth by shading the water.

3. Ciel et Terre’s floating platforms are 100% recyclable, utilizing high-density polyethylene which can withstand ultraviolet rays and corrosion.

4. A strong design and installation technology are used for the floating platforms to ensure durability against typhoons. "

Zitat von Popeye82: 'Top 10 Water Innovators' Celebrated in New Report - GreenBiz, OAKLAND - April 22, 2009

- By Matthew Wheeland -
www.greenbiz.com/news/2009/04/22/top-10-water-innovators

"OAKLAND, Calif. -- Water, it is often said, is the new carbon: the next critical piece of business operations to manage and use efficiently. But the vast majority of innovations in water technology are often overlooked by investors, the press and the public, according to Laura Shenkar, the principal at the Artemis Project.

"During this period when the challenges to water supply and water quality are just beginning to affect business, these are companies that are blazing the trail toward green recovery. They are creating what will be one of the great high-growth industries of the 21st Century," Shenkar said. "The Artemis Project Top 50 companies are just the tip of the iceberg for a major industry that will generate thousands of companies and green jobs."

To that end, Shenkar and a team of judges compiled a list of more than 120 companies that are pushing the envelope in terms of water treatment, purification and management. Those companies were then rated on four criteria: technology, intellectual property and know-how, team quality and market potential. The judges also applied ipCapital Group's proprietary ipDimensional Scoring algorithm, which objectively ranks companies within a particular sector based on the relative value of its patents.

The winning companies span a range of different technologies. The top prize was given to Arizona-based stormwater treatment company AbTech Industries, Massachusetts-based desalination experts Oasys Water and Vermont-based Seldon Technologies, makers of a nano-tube water-filtration system.

"The goal of this competition was to show the U.S venture capital community the diversity and investment potential of an international network of advanced water technology companies," Shenkar said. "The fact that the top three winners of this competition are U.S. based companies should serve as a wakeup call to the U.S. investment community. Water will be a big industry sooner rather than later; it's flourishing in our own backyard."

In general, Shenkar said the companies that made the list are working on one or more of the following six trends in water management:

+ Acoustic Water Purification

+ Wastewater Purification

+ Software for Water Management

+ Disinfection/Iodine and Ultraviolet and Advanced Oxidation

+ Waste Mining

+ Energy Recovery


In acoustic water purification, companies are using either sounds or lasers to make a bubble in the water, which then explodes; and the heat and electricity and the shock has an impact to the molecules around it in killing off bacteria and purifying the water. This technique has been used most often in small-scale projects in wastewater and medical settings.

Wastewater purification can be used to recycle water to almost any grade -- in Singapore, Shenkar explained, companies are taking wastewater and purifying it to drinking quality. Although that's not a level the U.S. is likely to reach soon, it is a technology with significant uses.

Water-management software is currently put to use at both macro and micro levels, from Global Information Systems (GIS) satellites reading the lay of the water to ground-level implementations of water sensors to maximize water efficiency in landscaping.

On the disinfection fronts, iodine and chlorine both get bad raps, but Shenkar explains that natural iodine is quite safe to use, and companies like BioLargo are putting it to use with advanced delivery methods. Ultraviolet light is an up-and-coming solution, Shenkar said, in large part because of companies developing LED ultraviolet lights, which are much smaller and less hazardous to dispose of.

Waste mining is a form of wastewater purification, where companies can take out the elements within the wastewater and use some of remnants for beneficial purposes. An example Shenkar offered was mining the nitrogen from the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico's dead zones -- companies are developing ways to remove the nitrogen and reuse it.

Finally, energy recovery takes away one of the largest obstacles for widespread adoption of desalination: it currently takes an enormous amount of energy to filter and purify water, but companies are working on methods that use the non-filtered water to power turbines that run the machine, thereby recovering as much as 95 percent of the energy needed to desalinate water.

"Panorama Synergy has demonstrated the viability of its laser-based Optical Readout System, the LumiMEMS Reader.


In partnership with the University of Western Australia (UWA), Panorama Synergy has developed a patented optical reader for Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) which enables the detection and measurement of previously undetectable substances.

As a result, the Company has commenced the development first generation systems for potential new end market applications.

All MEMS devices need a readout system to assess and communicate the data that is measured. Currently MEMS readers measure and communicate information electronically, which is subject to interference from electrical ‘noise’ from nearby devices and the environment. The only alternative technology, which is more sensitive and therefore more accurate, is an optical system using a laser directed at a MEMS sensor.

However, these are currently only able to operate in laboratories due to their size (similar to that of a washing machine), sensitivity to vibration, and the need to precisely align the laser with the tip of the tiny MEMS sensor. In addition, these readers can usually only measure one, or very few MEMS sensors at a time.

By contrast, Panorama’s LumiMEMS Reader is a portable and autonomous readout system which combines the accuracy and sensitivity of the optical reader with the size and portability of the electrically based system, without the shortcomings of interference from noise or vibration.

It is therefore able to be deployed in harsh environments such as down a drill hole or inside the cylinder shaft of a car engine, being much more heat resistant than an electrical system.

In addition, a chip that has several hundred MEMS sensors can be read simultaneously by one LumiMEMS Reader, therefore it is statistically more accurate than laboratory mounted optical systems.

The MEMS market is estimated to be $14 billion in 2014, growing to over $22 billion by 2018, a CAGR of 13% per annum. These estimates do not include the potential for opening new markets.

The LumiMEMS Reader is able to operate in air, water and other fluids or in a vacuum, therefore can be applied to bed side patient care, the detection of lung cancer, detecting peanuts in food, dangerous gases and other substances in mines, carbon monoxide inside a car or even schizophrenia from someone’s perspiration.

Panorama believes its LumiMEMS Reader is capable of becoming the new industry standard as the MEMS market continues to develop.

Terrence Walsh, Managing Director of Panorama Synergy said: “Our LumiMEMS Reader provides unparalleled accuracy and sensitivity and has a similar or even lower cost base to anything available in the market today.

"Therefore, as with the move from electrical to optical in the telecommunications world, we would anticipate the LumiMEMS Reader to become the de-facto readout system for the rapidly growing MEMS market.”

“Further, it creates the potential to open up a new wave of MEMS devices that can detect almost anything which is chemical or biological in nature. It has the potential to transform industry and everyday life as we know it,” he said.

Panorama anticipates that one of its initial first generation systems will be applicable to the mining sector, targeting improved exploration outcomes and safety. These systems are being developed in a prototype format with a view to being licenced or manufactured as end products. Test results are likely to be published as soon as the fourth quarter of the 2014 calendar year.

At the same time, Panorama has commenced early discussions with interested parties concerning specific requirements that the LumiMEMS reader may enable for the first time.

Research teams around the world continue to create new functionalization layers, coatings which are applied to MEMS sensors to determine which agent they are programmed to detect. Any substance that can have its functionalization material determined, can then be detected.

Panorama has numerous patents for its technology across Australia, US and Europe which provides it with commercial exclusivity to 2028. "

Panorama Synergy Achieves 'Significant Breakthrough' , " 'World’s 1st combined stimulation +measurement of MEMS sensors', using an optical waveguide, integrated with the sensor" ; Terry Walsh: “This "new innovation opens up even more market opportunities for the LumiMEMS Reader, than have already been identified, due to its superior sensitivity +accuracy". It "is a good example of the ongoing innovation of this technology from UWA, for which we are extending the global patents". It "also further supports our view that the LumiMEMS Reader "will" become the 'new industry standard, for all MEMS devices '.” - Sep 4, 2014

$10.000.000 tricorder X Prize unveils 10 finalists, The "quest to make a real-life version of Star Trek's pocket doctor "could" pay off, with gadgets including tiny blood tests +a digital consultant" - TNS/XPF - Sep 3, 2014
www.qualcommtricorderxprize.org/teams
www.newscientist.com/article/mg22329854.200-10-million-trico…

"IS THERE a doctor in the house? In a few years there could be one in your pocket.

The X Prize Foundation last week announced 10 finalists in its $10 million Qualcomm Tricorder X Prize competition to create a mobile consumer device that can diagnose 16 medical conditions, from anaemia to urinary tract infection, and monitor five vital signs, including blood pressure and respiratory rate.

Launched in 2012, the prize has encouraged teams around the world to develop high-tech home-diagnosis kits inspired by Star Trek's tricorder, a handheld device that gives a diagnosis when simply waved over a person's body. The rules state that the finalists will have to demonstrate their devices on humans next year. Three winners are due to be announced in 2016, with prizes of $1m, $2m and $7m. So are these latest bits of sci-fi tech, such as that produced by Silicon Valley-based firm Scanadu (pictured), poised to leap into the real world? And what techniques will they use?

"Just pointing a device at somebody's head is unlikely to work," says James McLaughlin at the University of Ulster in Newtownabbey, UK, who leads a finalist team called Zensor. Other than temperature and some skin conditions, not much can be picked up without physical contact, he says.

So most teams have developed systems consisting of wearable patches, handheld sensors and laptop-sized diagnostic labs. Most have also based their designs on existing technology. The challenge has been to integrate a hotchpotch of devices into a usable whole, says Eugene Chan of the DNA Medicine Institute (DMI) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, another shortlisted team.

Anil Vaidya of London-based finalists SCANurse agrees. The trick is putting the ability to diagnose a wide range of conditions into a single package, he says. With consumers in mind, SCANurse has opted for a minimally invasive approach. Their system uses computer-vision techniques to analyse images taken with a camera. The idea is to make observations of the inside of the ears or throat, say – much as a human doctor would – and then feed the images to diagnostic software that looks for telltale signs of disease. "We don't believe that a person on the street will be comfortable taking blood," he says, but concedes that without blood it will be tough to diagnose conditions such as hepatitis A, a competition requirement.

Other teams are betting consumers won't be too squeamish. "You need to test both blood and urine because these are key markers," says McLaughlin. Zensor's system includes a miniature microspectroscopy lab that uses microfluidics to analyse blood samples and diagnose a range of conditions. The aim is to come up with something on a par with hospital-lab diagnostics, he adds.

Combining the results of such tests with readings from wearable sensors will provide a lot of raw data that can be sent to a doctor. But McLaughlin stresses the need for a simple traffic-light-based system for consumer users. Zensor filters data through a smartphone app that tells you when you need to seek medical advice. The team hopes its system will mainly provide reassurance. "It will stop people having to go to the doctor all the time ," says McLaughlin.

Chan's team has taken the miniaturised lab concept to its extreme. By shrinking conventional test strips down to "nano strips", their device performs all the tests it needs to using a single drop of blood. Chan wants to extend this approach beyond the 16 conditions required by the X Prize Foundation. "The more tests you can do on a single drop of blood, the better," he says.

Such efficiency could be useful in deep space. DMI has already teamed up with NASA to tailor their device for astronauts on long trips to asteroids or Mars. With no medical professional on-board, self-diagnosis becomes really important, says Chan. DMI has recently shown that their tiny blood-testing lab also works in zero gravity.

Ultimately, though, the success of these "pocket doctors" may depend on how comfortable people are with using them. Another shortlisted team, Final Frontier Medical Devices, based in Paoli, Pennsylvania, will soon find out how actual patients feel about this next-generation medical tech. Thanks to his day job as an emergency-room doctor, co-leader Basil Harris is giving his team a head start with clinical trials.

Harris's team has centred its approach on an age-old technique: asking questions. A simple interview can be the best way to diagnose something like a stroke – another of the competition's required conditions. "If someone has a very large stroke, they don't need this device to figure that out," says Harris. "But subtle ones are hard to diagnose." For example, the person's only symptom might be slight trouble seeing out of one eye.

Harris thinks that by asking lots of on-screen questions, his device could outperform not only the other entries but also human doctors. "I joke with colleagues that my system does a better neural exam than they do ," he says.

Harris hopes these devices will transform healthcare, especially in the US, by giving people more knowledge. "Patients crave info," he says. "I have patients come to me with scraps of paper with blood-pressure readings and things copied down from the web." For him, a better-informed population is a healthier one. The X Prize aims to take that to the next level. Chan agrees: "A lot of good will come out of this competition," he says.

So, is a tricorder about to put doctors out of a job? Not likely, says Harris. "It'll send you to the hospital but it's not going to take your appendix out."

Majority of the companies involved in the Graphene business have employed product launch as their primary business strategy, particularly concerning monolayer & bi-layer graphene, Graphene Oxide (GO) and graphene nano platelet (GNP). Unfortunately, high-priced equipment and incapability of mass production are factors which restrain the growth of the market. Nonetheless, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is rendering better production capabilities to counter mass production issues. Graphene counterparts such carbon nano tubes (CNT) and nanoclays are presenting stiff challenge; however, Graphene stands price competitive with CNTs and tops in performance when compared to nanoclays. As mass production increases, there is potential for 70% to 80% price drop, making Graphene far competitive to its counterparts.

Key products, such as GNP, is one of the potential segments in the overall market owing to its low cost, early adoption and application in graphene based composites. GO and monolayer & bi-layer graphene will emerge as lucrative segments in the long run due to their usage in large applications, chiefly in electronics, energy, aerospace and coatings. Few layer graphene has not yet received substantial attention, due to higher prices with low volume production. Graphene electronics and energy storage remains most popular application markets due to the early adoption by players in aforesaid industries.

“CeraTech has developed a transformative, sustainable, environmentally friendly cement technology that for many industry applications possesses superior performance characteristics to traditional material and has a much longer service life.” - Jon Hyman

Interview conducted by: Lynn Fosse, Senior Editor, CEOCFO Magazine, Published – July 27, 2014


CEOCFO: Mr. Hyman, what is green cement? What does CeraTech do and how?

Mr. Hyman: CeraTech is clean tech company that has developed a sustainable, green cement system using fly ash and proprietary renewable chemicals to replace portland cement in the production of concrete.


CEOCFO: Have there been attempts to use something other than portland cement in the past?

Mr. Hyman: From what I understand, there have been numerous attempts over the years to reduce the amount of portland cement in a cubic yard of concrete typically by replacing portland cement with inexpensive industrial waste streams called supplementary cementitious materials. These supplementary cementitious materials, which include fly ash, slag, and silica fume, usually comprise less than 50% of the total cementitious materials used to produce concrete. Our cement system is unique in that it is a one for one replacement for portland cement in the production of concrete. Our cement does not contain any portland cement.


CEOCFO: What is Flyash?

Mr. Hyman: That is a good question! Fly ash is a waste stream produced from burning coal. It is the second largest waste stream generated in the country behind municipal solid waste. Approximately a third of the electricity produced in the U.S. comes from burning thermal coal. More than half of the fly ash produced annually (60M tons) is landfilled. CeraTech’s technology takes this waste stream and repurposes it for beneficial use producing the only carbon neutral cement system in the world.


CEOCFO: What was the original thought process as to how Flyash could become concrete?

Mr. Hyman: The use of fly ash as a cement for the production of concrete dates back to 1st century where the Romans combined a pozzolan (similar to fly ash) and calcium with water, stone and sand to produce concrete. Our technology plays off that ancient invention combining fly ash with proprietary chemicals, to create a hydraulic cement.


CEOCFO: What were the challenges in creating the technology?

Mr. Hyman: The technical challenges to successfully commercializing our technology were significant. We had to take an inherently variable manufactured product (fly ash) and produce a consistent concrete. We had to prove the technology as a viable alternative to portland cement to a conservative, mature industry and we had to be cost competitive with traditional materials. With great persistence and a little luck, we have overcome these seemingly insurmountable challenges and have successfully commercialized our cement technology.


CEOCFO: When did you turn the corner? When did it come together? What were the last steps or the first steps of commercialization where it is now viable?

Mr. Hyman: I believe we turned the proverbial commercialization corner in late 2013 after we completed our 50th project. Our sales cycle that year compressed considerably from previous years and the sales velocity through our sales pipeline picked up significantly. Additionally in 2013, we began to achieve industry acceptance and, in some instances, outright support for our cement technology.

Distribution remains one of our challenges. Even given the distinct environmental and performance advantages of our material technology, many of the concrete producers are slow to adopt new solutions. Ideally, we would like to have an exclusive distribution partner in every major metropolitan area in the country that will offer our cement technology as a standard product offering.


CEOCFO: Is there an aha moment? When do people believe that it is reaaal?

Mr. Hyman: I wish there was an “aha” moment in the sales process. If there is one, I have nooooot found it. I have yet to find anyone in the construction industry that will accept a nascent technology without a product demonstration and associated product testing. Everybody in our industry subscribes to the Missouri adage: “Shooooow me”. If the product passes the appropriate testing then the real sales process begins in earnest.


CEOCFO: How do they know that five years down the road it will not disintegrate? What is it about your concrete that lets them know that once it is there and it is down that it is going to sustain?

Mr. Hyman: Results taken from industry standard material service life testing conducted by independent laboratories suggests that our material has a long service life roughly twice that of traditional concrete materials.


CEOCFO: How is this all accomplished? Do you have a plant? Are you working within a certain geographic range?

Mr. Hyman: We procure the fly ash from local coal fired power generation plants. These power plants act as a cement kiln producing our “fly ash” cement from the coal combustion process. There are more than 500 coal fired power generation plants in the U.S. Fly ash is shipped via a bulk tanker to the designated storage location, which is in most instances resides with our distribution partner where it is combined with our proprietary chemical admixtures, and sand, stone and water to produce concrete.

Our material technology fits seamlessly into the current industry distribution model, requiring nooooo additional equipment or infrastructure to produce concrete.


CEOCFO: It would seem hard to resist!

Mr. Hyman: We certainly believe it is however, as I noted earlier, the construction industry like many other industries, does not readily embrace new transformative technology such as ours. Perseverance and project success are the keeeeeys to industry adoption.


CEOCFO: Concrete is one of those industries that has a little bit of a negative reputation; a somewhat negative connotation. Is that a factor or is that really more of a myth?

Mr. Hyman: That is a very interesting question. It is a very traditional industry. People are risk adverse. There is severe pressure on product pricing, a continual push to reduce price for most construction materials particularly concrete. As such, competition can be fierce and that is, what I believe drives the perception of the industry.


CEOCFO: You have a number of different products. What are some of the variations that you have available?

Mr. Hyman: We have five cement types each given a unique brand; a marketing convention that is not a common practice in our industry. Each brand has a unique set of performance attributes suited for specific applications. These performance attributes provide our materials a competitive advantage to traditional materials both in cost and service life. For example, KEMROK™ possesses exceptional performance for caustic and corrosive chemical environments and does not require a protective coating be applied after placement to extend the material’s service thereby dramatically compressing the construction timetable and reducing the installation cost.


CEOCFO: Are you able to work with environmental groups, to get your story out?

Mr. Hyman: Unfortunately, we have not spent as much time with those groups, as perhaps we should have. We are actively involved with the US Green Building council and are participants in the Architect 2030 Challenge. We were the first non-portland cement manufacturer to produce an independently verified Environmental Product Declaration “EPD” for our cement. The EPD clearly states that the broad use of our cement as a replacement for portland cement in the production of concrete can eliminate millions of tons of CO2 while simultaneously conserving millions of gallons of fresh water. Our technology story plays well with many of the environmental groups mandate to reduce the U.S.’s carbon footprint given that we have the only carbon neutral cement system in the world today. Portland cement manufacturers produce approximately 5% of all manmade CO2 emissions. Every ton of traditional cement replaced with a ton of our cement eliminates roughly one of ton CO2 from being released into the atmosphere. Additionally by repurposing the fly ash for beneficial use, we significantly reduce the landfill burden. Water conservation has become a major challenge for many states in this country. CeraTech is perfectly positioned to help the states address their critical water conversation requirements given that our cement technology requires half the water of traditional materials in the production of concrete. If we replaced just 10% of the portland cement used in the U.S. on an annual basis with our cement, we would save more than 44 million gallons of water or 352 million bottle of water.


CEOCFO: Why should people pay attention to CeraTech today?

Mr. Hyman: CeraTech has developed a transformative, sustainable, environmentally friendly cement technology, that for maaaaany industry applications possesses superior performance characteristics to traditional material and has a much longer service life. "

Advanced Energy(R) "Introduces 'Innovative String Inverter Accessory', to Enhance Commercial Rooftop Installations, +Accelerate PV System Returns", '1st-to-Market, Horizontally Mounted—0° to 30° Tilt—String Inverter Solution' Increases System Design Flexibility +Project Yield, While Enabling Compliance With NEC '14 Rapid Shutdown Requirements
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/09/06/advanced-e…

"FORT COLLINS, Colo., Sept. 5, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:AEIS) today announced details on a new AE 3TL inverter accessory that enables solar installers, site designers and project developers to conserve space and increase project yield using an innovative technique to install Advanced Energy (AE) string inverters in a horizontal (0°) orientation. The low-profile accessory, used to install AE 3TL string inverters at the edge of a rooftop solar array, increases site design flexibility and improves overall system performance—while enabling compliance with new NEC 2014 rapid shutdown requirements. Already field proven at sites across North America, the compact and cost-effective solution is commercially available for AE 3TL 12 kW, 16 kW, 20 kW and 23 kW models.

As a result of the increased popularity of large-scale commercial rooftop designs using three-phase string inverters, Advanced Energy developed an innovative mounting solution to tackle one of the critical challenges of roof-mounted inverters—the shade cast by the inverters on the PV array. Engineered specifically for AE 3TL inverters, the tailor-made, industry-first mounting kit accessory allows the string inverters to be quickly and easily installed at a range of angles from 0° up to a 30° tilt—making it the most versatile, low-profile solution available on the market. The functional design provides balance-of-system cost savings and reduces shading setbacks for additional surface space for up to two additional 300 W PV modules per inverter when compared with competing angled mounting systems. The mounting flanges are compatible with DURA-BLOK® and UNISTRUT® hardware, enabling site-specific, customized mounting. The solution is particularly ideal for projects that require NEC 2014 code compliance, which specifies string inverters in roof-mounted installations must be installed within 10 feet of the array.

"Advanced Energy continues to leverage its applications know-how and provide new technologies that are designed not only for where the solar market is today but where it is heading in the future," said Jeff Denovan, co-owner and senior project manager/operations at Namaste Solar. "The AE 3TL inverter and mounting kit provide a complete and flexible solution for rooftop solar installations."

"Designers and installers are counting on continuous innovation from manufacturers to help them address complex solar configurations and code requirements as well as budget challenges," said Yuval Wasserman, president of Advanced Energy. "This new product demonstrates our commitment to delivering the solutions our customers need to secure more solar projects and achieve long-term production goals."

Advanced Energy will showcase its AE3TL string inverter technology, including the horizontal mount accessory, at the upcoming Solar Power International conference and exhibition, October 21 to 23, at the Las Vegas Convention Center, booth 551. For more information on Advanced Energy's AE3TL product line, or to schedule a meeting with Advanced Energy at the conference, please visit http://solarenergy.advanced-energy.com/en/AESPI.html.

Exploration Underway in Sweden, for Gungnir Resources - BS/APS - Sep 4, 2014
www.baystreet.ca/articles/stockstowatch.aspx?id=783

"Sweden isn’t exactly in the major leagues with other gold mining countries, but the relatively unexplored country does have gold in it and its geopolitical environment couldn’t get much better for miners. While the country is outside the top 25 in gold producing countries, the 2013 Fraser Institute Survey ranks it first for most attractive jurisdictions for mineral exploration and development. About seven years ago, Sweden’s gold prospects made a splash in the business when two grandmothers, who are also amateur geologists, were finding nothing when hunting for wild berries, but a few bangs with their geologist hammers, and they discovered gold.

In fact, the rock the ladies cracked open contained 23 grams of gold per ton, nearly five times what the most active mines in the country were yielding. Some experts think the land in the northern part of Sweden could be the largest gold deposit in Europe. The property, which was first optioned by Hansa Resources (TSX-Venture:HRL) and then sold to Sweden’s Botnia Exploration AB, remains relatively undeveloped from what we can tell at AllPennyStocks.com.


For the most part, explorers, including Botnia Exploration and Gungnir Resources Inc. (TSX-Venture:GUG), are focused about 300 miles or so north of the ladies’ find in Overturingen. At the start of 2014, Vancouver-based Gungnir was a privately held company. In February, a deal was reached with Anglo Swiss Resources to which Anglo acquired Gungnir and then changed its name to the later and did a one-for-five reverse split. Anglo Swiss paid $300,000 in cash and issued 32.6 million shares and let three shareholders of Gungnir retain a 2.4% net smelter royalty (which included Anglo Swiss CEO Jari Paakki, a minority investor in Gingnir) for the properties acquired in the deal. The properties, Knaften and Nordanas, span about 22,500 hectares (225 sq. miles) in northern Sweden within the area dubbed the "Gold Line" in the mineral rich Vasterbotten District.


The region hosts 12 million ounces of gold in existing and mined resources. Other miners in the area include:

- Mandalay Resources (TSX:MND)(Bjorkdal, one million ounces produced, 975,000 ounces @1.73 g/t gold measured and indicated, 900,000 ounces @ 1.78 g/t gold inferred, 320,000 ounces proven and probable).

- Orex Minerals (TSX-Venture:REX)(Barsele, 550,000 ounces @ 1.2 g/t gold indicated, 600,000 ounces @ 1.0 g/t gold inferred).

- Boliden Mining (Boliden, 4 million ounce @ 16 g/t gold, past producer).

- Lappland Goldminers (Faboliden, 2.2 million ounces @ 1.06 g/t gold measured and indicated, 900,000 ounces @ 1.03 g/t gold inferred).

- Dragon Mining (Svartliden, 320,000 ounces produced at 4.32 g/t gold).


The acquisition left the new company with a portfolio that contained the Sweden properties, the Lansdowne House Rind of Fire (nickel/copper) property in Ontario and Kenville Gold and Blu Starr Flake Graphite properties in southeastern British Columbia. Before the merger was finalized, the Kenville Gold property was sold to 0995237 B.C. Ltd for $5.9 million. The sale provided Gungnir with some cash and a revenue stream going forward via payments from 0995237 of $900,000 upfront and $1 million per year for the next five years.

Exploration on Knaften is underway with Gungnir on Wednesday releasing an update from the first-phase exploration program. Through prospecting and geochemical rock sampling, Gungnir is aiming to identify target areas for geophysics and drilling. The results were highlighted by a 8.52 g/t gold boulder discovery within a developing eight-kilometre-long gold-arsenic-(molybdenum) geochemical-magnetics trend that covers the western contact of a granitic intrusion. The high-grade boulder is believed to be locally-derived based on its size and angularity.

Gungnir’s main target is an intrusion-related gold deposit, which tend to be large with open pit to high-grade gold. Examples of this type of gold deposit are the aforementioned Bjorkdal mine of Mandalay in Sweden and Pogo, Fort Knox and Donlin mines in the Yukon.

On the public front, Orex Minerals and Mandalay both have had strong 2014’s so far, helped in part by the Swedish assets. Gungnir trails its peers in development (and value with a market cap of only $1.35 million), but it will be interesting to see if it can enjoy a similar success going forward. Proper due diligence is, as always, encouraged. "

"Image Scan Holdings (LON:IGE)

The supplier of x-ray screening systems to the security and industrial inspection markets announced that it has signed an exclusive supply agreement with a leading global provider of x-ray inspection solutions based in the US. Under the terms of the agreement, Image Scan will be supplied with a specially designed, portable x-ray generator, which is a significant component in the Company's FlatScan product range which is offered to bomb disposal and counter-terrorism customers throughout the world. The agreement provides Image Scan with exclusive rights to market the product in the security sector. This is part of the company’s strategy of targeting the portable market. The aim is to target new markets including those in North America and new product launches are anticipated. Additionally IGE has announced that it has signed new contracts totalling £92,400 to provide its security products to organisations in the emerging Asian markets. The contracts demonstrate the successful extension of the Company's global reach and marketing across the region. The AXIS-64 conveyor x-ray systems will be installed as part of a suite of screening equipment at a new national strategic facility that will be subject to the highest security protection within Myanmar. The AXIS-64 system has been chosen after a validation and testing programme where its UK build quality was a significant factor in the selection criteria. The Company's FlatScan hand portable x-ray system will be supplied into Vietnam and Bangladesh for the first time. The multi-unit contracts for military customers will see the end users in these territories utilise hand portable digital x-ray systems that are back-packable and quick to deploy. The FlatScan's inherent wireless characteristic was key to securing contracts with these customers; alternative systems often involve carrying separate wireless network or repeater devices. These FlatScan units will also take advantage of the latest software developments where the systems use colour to differentiate between differing material compositions. The colour demarcations will enable users to quickly and more accurately determine the makeup and hence potential threat of the item that has been x-ray inspected.

Tiziana Life Sciences, the UK biotechnology company, recently announced that it has entered into an exclusive license agreement with TTFactor S.r.l., acting on behalf of the FIRC (the Italian Foundation for Cancer Research), Institute for Molecular Oncology (IFOM), and the European Institute of Oncology (IEO), covering the use of twenty defined stem cell markers (the TOP 20) for patient stratification in breast cancer. The TOP 20 model is a gene expression signature capable of predicting disease aggressiveness and prognosis in breast cancer patients. It is different from all other signatures available today because it is derived from cancer stem cells and therefore it predicts cancer behaviour based on its stem cell content. The TOP 20 genes have been defined based on published expression profiles of breast stem cells, and further selected based on their levels of expression and likelihood of reduction into practice for patient stratification in breast cancer. The inventor of the TOP 20 model, Professor Pier Paolo Di Fiore, a physician and specialist in molecular oncology and cell biology, is a consultant to Tiziana and a member of Tiziana's Scientific Advisory Board. Under the terms of the licensing agreement, Tiziana will pay the Licensor €600,000 over 4 years to fund research to create or enhance technologies to assist in the development and commercialisation of products and services derived from the TOP 20 genes. In return for an exclusive license to patents on the TOP20 genes, Tiziana will pay the Licensor inter alia a royalty rate of 1.5 per cent based on commercial sales of any products developed under the license agreement.

Our cell therapy candidate for stroke has entered Phase II clinical development and we have commenced clinical development of our cell therapy candidate for critical limb ischaemia. In both cases, and earlier-than-planned, we have gained regulatory approval to use a second-generation cryopreserved variant of our lead CTX stem cell line, providing the potential for significant commercial and competitive advantages for our business. We remain on track to move into our world-class cell manufacturing facility in South Wales in the early part of next year, which we believe will become a major element of ReNeuron’s overall value proposition. We are also on track to file an IND application in the US early next year seeking FDA approval to start a Phase I/II clinical trial of our retinitis pigmentosa cell therapy, and we are greatly encouraged by the progress and potential of our emerging CTX cell-derived exosome therapeutic platform.

GE "Launches 'Global Ecomagination Innovation Challenge', to Reduce GHG Emissions in Canada's Oil Sands" - GE/COSIA/AI-EES, CALGARY - Jul 8, 2014
[e-mail]

www.albertainnovates.ca/media/21716/ghg_ecomagination_press_…

"GE (NYSE: GE) today announced the launch of an up to CAD$1 million ecomagination open innovation challenge to help accelerate technology development in Canada’s oil sands. The Innovation Challenge will target two of the biggest opportunities to reduce green-house gas (GHG) emissions in the oil sands: new uses for waste heat and improooooved efficiency of steam generation.


GE is calling for the best global minds, within and outside the industry, to help develop solutions that can be scaled and commercialized within the industry. The Challenge is in two parts, with submissions due September 30, 2014 and March 15, 2015 respectively. Winners of the Challenge can potentially share up to CAD$1 million in seed funding to further develop and commercialize the proposed solutions and will be eligible to become a supplier or contractor to GE on future projects.

Canada’s oil sands are the third largest oil reserves in the world, next to Saudi Arabia and Venezuela, and represent a significant source of secure energy for global markets. Oil sands production is expected to grow substantially over the next 20 years, driving increased efforts for collaboration to accelerate the development of technology that will reduce GHG emissions.

Deb Frodl, global executive director, ecomagination said, “Ecomagination has always been about helping our customers be more efficient and productive. The opportunity is large in the oil sands. By bringing together the best scientists, technologies and companies from around the world, we believe we can accelerate innovation and bring solutions to market faster.”

“Collaboration is keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey , to solving big challenges,” notes Elyse Allan, President and CEO GE Canada. “GE recognizes that by working together, we can develop technology that will enable ongoing, responsible development of Canada’s oil resources—an important driver of the country’s economy and future prosperity.”

Strategic advisors for the GHG ecomagination Innovation Challenge include Canada’s Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA) and Alberta Innovates – Energy and Environment Solutions (AI-EES).

The winners of the first part of the Challenge will be announced in January 2015. Entries are now being accepted at www.geghgecochallenge.com.

Since its 2005 launch, ecomagination—the company’s commitment to technology solutions that save money and reduce environmental impact for its customers and GE’s own operations—has generated more than US$160 billion in revenue. GE’s own operations have seen a 32 percent reduction in GHG emissions since 2004 and a 45 percent reduction in freshwater use since 2006, realizing US$300 million in savings.

This is the sixth ecomagination challenge; previous challenges spanned the U.S., China, Australia and New Zealand, and the Middle East. GE has a successful history with open innovation challenges; most recently launching an innovation challenge to increase the energy efficiency of seawater desalination, and a challenge to improve electrical distribution with innovative designs for an ergonomic rotary handle accessory for its molded case circuit breaker.

"A University of Alberta spinoff company commercializing technology developed by a Faculty of Agricultural, Life & Environmental Sciences researcher is introducing the next-generation of renewable fuels.

Almost 10 years in the making, Forge Hydrocarbons is commercializing a patented conversion process developed by David Bressler that takes agricultural feed stocks like animal fat, such as beef tallow, crop seed oil and even restaurant grease, and converts them into ‘drop in’ fuels.

Unlike traditional renewable fuels like bio-diesel, ethanol and bio-jet fuel, drop in fuels are chemically similar to and interchangeable with petroleum-based fuels, which means they can be used in their pure form as, for example, gasoline or natural gas or jet fuel. The patented process also converts the same agricultural feeds stocks into solvents and diluents.

“I’ve been waiting for a technology like this for a long time,” said Tim Haig, president and CEO of Forge Hydrocarbons. An experienced entrepreneur, Haig started and ran BIOX, Canada’s biggest and most successful renewable fuel plant based on a then-breakthrough technology he acquired and commercialized from the University of Toronto, for 12 years, until this opportunity presented itself. “This is the first technology that creates drop-in fuels from agricultural and forestry feed stocks and I know it will dominate the renewable fuel industry,” he said.

Bressler made his initial discovery in 2004 with funding from an NSERC Discovery grant. Since then, he has received more than $4.9 million from a variety of funders to pursue the research and commercialize the technology.

They are joined by Tim Haig, President and CEO of Forge Hydrocarbons. -


His patented conversion process uses high-temperature chemistry whereby the feed stock is heated with water to create a mixture of fatty acids and glycerol. Once the mixture is cooled, the fatty acids are separated from the glycerol and water. Those fatty acids are then heated to a point where the oxygen contained within them is released. This is the key step that until now, no one had been able to do in a cost-effective way.

Once the oxygen is removed, the fatty acid becomes a hydrocarbon. Further processing converts the hydrocarbon into the desired fuel such as gasoline, natural gas, jet fuel, diesel, lubricating oil, solvents and diluents.

Bressler adds that the production of these drop-in fuels reduces greenhouse gas emissions by more than 90 per cent when compared with the production of traditional petroleum-based hydrocarbons.

The company received one of two “University of Alberta Spinoff Achievement Award” from TEC Edmonton during its official launch this morning at a ceremony attended by Verlyn Olson, the minister of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Honourable Michelle Rempel, Minister of Western Economic Diversification.

A pre-commercial plant using the company’s patented conversion process is currently being commissioned in Agri-Food Discovery Place, on the University of Alberta’s South Campus. With a capacity of producing 200,000 litres a year, it will be operational by the end of the year. The following phase of the company’s evolution will be a full-scale commercial plant.

Funders for the project during the last decade include Alberta Advanced Education and Technology, Alberta Innovates – Bio Solutions, the Alberta Meat and Livestock Agency, Canadian Foundation for Innovation, Forge Hydrocarbons, the National Science and Engineering Research Council, the University of Alberta and Western Economic Diversification.

Seeing Machines CEO: Latest deal "only scratches the surface" - PAI UK - Sep 3, 2013

- Ian Lyall -
www.proactiveinvestors.com.au/companies/news/47527/seeing-ma…

"Ken Kroger, chief executive of Seeing Machines(LON:SEE), reckons the group is "only scratching the surface" of the driver fatigue market, following the US$1.500.000 deal with BHP Billiton Iron Ore(LON:BHP).


“The mining haul truck market encompasses 40.000 units around the world +they add ~2.000 trucks/year. Currently, there is a " "very small percentage" of those trucks with any sort of fatigue management technology." So, there is "a large market for us to go for",” Kroger told Proactive Investors.

Seeing Machines said the Pilbara trucks will be supported by Caterpillar dealer WestTrac, cementing a deal it has with the maker of these giant vehicles.

The monitoring systems are to be rolled out via the American manufacturer's worldwide dealer network.

Like cars, these mining vehicles are sold by dealers. Unlike the family saloon, @up to US$5.000.000 a pop, these 40 tonne giants are expensive to replace.

This "may explain the growing popularity of the DSS" +why Caterpillar +the miners are "keen to adopt the technology."

“Caterpillar’s endorsement "really validates our technology" +"sends a strong signal to the market", that despite Seeing Machines being a small, Australian-centric organisation, with Caterpillar’s support we "can support a global audience more readily",” Kroger said.

However, broker finnCap " "believes" that eye-tracking that is central to the device’s operation has "far wider" applications, than its current deployment as an in-cab monitor" –the DSS was simply a means of early commercialisation.

So what does that mean? Well, buses, trucks +airliners "all have need for this sort of technology". There are 400.000 lorries here in the UK without fatigue monitors +500.000 coaches throughout the EU –"so, two massive markets."

Currently, Seeing Machines has a trial ongoing in the Netherlands, with a leading bus company.

The next generation of cars are all incorporating a degree of automation(although we are years away from the truly driverless automobile), but central to the development of the next generation of vehicles will be eye-tracking.

“We have trials with tier-one safety suppliers to the automotive market, +"it really is not a case of if, but when the 1st driver monitoring engine will appear in the private car space",” said Kroger.

In home computing +TV, 3D is here +"relies on being able to trick the eye into believing what it is seeing is a multi-dimensional image." +, "you’ve got it -Seeing Machines-style eye-tracking "will be @the heart of the next iterations"."

In fact, the company’s algorithm has already been incorporated in a 3D laptop , developed by Toshiba.

Google Glass is revealing just where the technology is going next. +the applications "are seemingly limittless": for instance, aiding advertisers who want to see whether mobile phone users are actually looking @their pop-ups, or simply zoning out.

“While it is not without challenge it is becoming in the realms of possibility,” Kroger said of the deployment of eye-tracking in mobile telephony.

“We are working with a number of household brand name companies now +"while there is a way to go, I "think we are capable of doing it" ".”

So, this is not just a one trick pony. In fact, "analysts "believe" if this was a Silicon Valley based business, rather than one run from the Australian capital Canberra, its valuation "would be far higher than it is today listed on London’s alternative market"."

@1pm, the stock was up 12.5% @4.5 pence. It has >doubled in value, in the last six months.


Profile

Seeing Machines(LON: SEE) is an "award winning technology company", with a focus on vision based human machine interfaces. Seeing Machines technology platform is "based on world-leading computer vision processing technologies", that allow machines to see +track human faces +certain facial features. These technologies "enable the development of new "cutting edge products" +applications, ranging from devices that improve road safety +save lives, to those that help manage eye disease +prevent loss of eyesight."

Zitat von Popeye82: Amyris Biotechnologies - Op-Ed: "Curing Malaria, with Sugar" - Apr 13, 2013
www.amyris.com/News/297/Op-Ed-Curing-Malaria-with-Sugar-by-F…

"Next week they’ll be celebrating in San Francisco. The first batch of artemisinin, produced on the basis of sugar, is ready. In 2013, 35 tons, enough for 100 million doses, will be produced. Every year, 200 million people contract malaria and 650,000 of them die from the disease. The artemisinin produced using this method has a great chance of contributing to the eradication of malaria. Since it is produced by microbes, using sugar as its raw material, and the inventors agreed to provide the intellectual property free of charge, it is very inexpensive. But that’s not the only reason to celebrate. The scientific study that describes the details of this technological feat has just been published in the journal Nature.

It all began in 2003. Four scientists working at the University of California, Berkeley picked a socially relevant problem so they could demonstrate the power of the new synthetic biology techniques they were developing. They chose artemisinin, one of the most potent antimalarial drugs known.

Artemisinin was discovered in the plant Artemisia annua (commonly known as sweet wormwood), which grows in China, but has never been used on a large scale. It is difficult to produce by chemical synthesis. Up to now the limited amount of artemisinin available is extracted from the tree that grows in several countries. The bottom line is that production is unstable and the price is high. The objective was to transplant all the genes needed to synthesize this compound into a simple organism that could produce a lot of artemisinin, using a very inexpensive compound as food.

The organism selected was Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the yeast used to produce beer and ethanol. This yeast converts the sugarcane juice into ethanol. The study consisted of producing a variety of this yeast capable of converting sugar into artemisinin.

In order to carry out the project, an innovative agreement was signed with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The foundation would fund project development under one condition: the company would have to provide intellectual property rights free of charge over the final product in order to ensure that it would get into the hands of patients at the lowest cost possible. In exchange, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation allowed the company to maintain sole ownership of the technology generated by the project, which it could then use to develop commercial products.

Between 2004 and 2008, the company discovered how the tree produced artemisinin, isolated the genes that produced the molecule and placed those genes in a yeast strain. Over 17 genes were isolated, modified and combined in the new host. Thus, the entire assembly line of the artemisinin molecule was transferred to the yeast and it began to produce the artemisinic acid. This artemisinic acid “factory” set up inside a living organism then had to be optimized to ensure that most of the sugar utilized was converted into artemisinic acid.

By 2008, the strain was ready. More than 50 scientists had worked on the project over the course of five years at a cost of over $30 million and the project had not yet ended. An industrial scale production method developed to purify the artemisinic acid was standardized and a less expensive way to convert the artemisinic acid to artemisinin was discovered. These final steps were taken together with a pharmaceutical company. By the end of 2012, everything was finished. The first batch was produced and the scientific study describing the technology was published in the journal Nature.

But the story does not end here. Perhaps you’ve seen a number of buses circulating in São Paulo with the following words: EcoFrota – Movido a Diesel de Cana, literally, EcoFleet – Powered by Sugarcane Diesel. The diesel fuel that moves these buses is produced in Brotas, in central São Paulo State.

The recently opened factory is able to convert the juice from one million tons of sugarcane into diesel fuel and other chemical products.

In operation since January, this factory produces diesel fuel by using a strain of Saccharomyces engineered with the technology used to produce artemisinin. "

Amyris +Total, "one of the largest integrated oil +gas companies in the world", Announce Successful Demonstration Flight With Renewable Jet Fuel , During Paris Air Show; 1st Demonstration Flight in Europe on Airbus Aircraft "Underscores Partners' Commitment, to Achieving ASTM Certification" - Jun 19, 2013
www.amyris.com/News/312/Amyris-and-Total-Announce-Successful…

"PARIS, June 20, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amyris, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMRS) and Total (Paris:TOTF) announced today a successful demonstration flight at the Paris Air Show using a breakthrough technology that converts plant sugars into renewable jet fuel.

The Airbus A321 aircraft powered by two Snecma CFM56 jet engines flew from Toulouse to Paris with a blend of renewable jet fuel produced by Amyris and Total. This demonstration flight was in support of the French Initiative for Future Aviation Fuels, which seeks to produce and commercialize alternative, renewable and sustainable aviation fuels in France in the coming years. This was the second public demonstration flight with the Amyris-Total renewable jet fuel. In June 2012, an Embraer E195 jet flew with the renewable jet fuel produced from sugarcane in Brazil.

"This is a significant milestone in our strategic partnership with Total for biofuels. From developing the world's leading synthetic biology platform to producing and distributing renewable products globally, the Amyris-Total collaboration demonstrates the power of partnerships to drive innovation and deliver sustainable products," said John Melo, President & CEO of Amyris. "Today's flight is another step closer in achieving ASTM certification, which paves the way for the commercialization of our renewable jet fuel," Melo concluded.

"The air transport sector has an ambitious target: drastically reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 while commercial flights and demand for jet fuel will steadily grow. To that end, biofuels will play an important role along with improved aircraft energy efficiency. This demonstration flight illustrates the capacity of Amyris and Total to integrate, as of today, aeronautical biofuels in a concrete and reliable way," said Philippe Boisseau, President, Marketing & Services and New Energies and a member of the Executive Committee of Total. "As one of the world's biggest suppliers of aviation fuel, Total aims at widely offering this solution to airline customers. We are confident that we will be able to achieve this within the coming years."


About the Renewable Jet Fuel

The Amyris-Total renewable fuel was produced using engineered microorganisms that convert plant sugars into Biofene®, Amyris's brand of renewable farnesene, a long-chain, branched hydrocarbon. In December 2012, Amyris began commercial production of Biofene at its industrial-scale production facility in southeastern Brazil. Amyris uses Brazilian sugarcane due to its availability, competitive cost, and the local industry's ability to meet international sustainability standards.

In addition to supporting the aviation industry's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the Amyris-Total renewable jet fuel is designed to be compliant with Jet A/A-1 fuel specifications and outperform conventional petroleum-derived fuel in a range of performance metrics, including fit for purpose and greenhouse gas emission reduction, while maintaining performance quality. Amyris and Total expect the fuel to be commercially available as early as 2014, following approval by the ASTM International, the world's leading fuel standard setting body.

BIG PICTURE -Kalibrate Technologies "enjoys a "transformational" year" - PAIUK - Sep 9, 2014

- Ian Lyal -
www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/72038/big-pictur…

"City broker N+1 Singer called it a “transformational year”. For Kalibrate Technologies (LON:KLBT) the 12 months ended June marked a watershed period for the business as it made its debut on AIM - and did so without seemingly missing a beat.

The group, which supplies pricing and planning software used by the petrol retail industry, posted double-digit growth in both earnings and revenues.

It did so by moving into new territories and by taking the business further down the route of providing its software as a service, which provides a large stream of recurring sales and more visibility.



- The group, which supplies pricing and planning software used by the petrol retail industry, posted double-digit growth in both earnings and revenues. -


“Since [the IPO] the group has begun to invest the proceeds, delivering an uplift in both revenues and profits earlier than had been expected at the time of the IPO,” said analyst Pia Tapley.

“There remains more to go for, and we continue to expect both strong revenue growth and margin expansion in the coming years.”

Earlier, Kalibrate unveiled a 20% rise in pre-tax profit to US$3mln, which came on the back of 19% boost to revenues to US$28.8mln.

It saw a US$4mln increase in recurring turnover, which now stands at US$20mln and marks its push to become a software-as-a-service provider. The order book stands at US$22mln.

N+1 is predicting pre-tax profits will rise to US$3.5mln next year, then US$4.9mln and US$5.7mln in 2016 and 2017 respectively.

Kalibrate said its core territories of North America and Europe grew strongly, although it is also benefiting from the de-regulation of the petrol markets in emerging countries.

During the year, it took its services for the first time to Malaysia, Mozambique, New Zealand, Brazil and the Philippines, and recently opened new offices in Bangkok and Melbourne.

A notable win was the contract from the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory to identify the infrastructure for hydrogen fuelling stations.

The group ended the reporting period in a financially solid position with US$9.6mln in cash and net debt of US$500,000.

Chief executive Bob Stein told investors: "Our financial performance, with double-digit growth in both segments of our business, coupled with robust progress in delivering upon the strategy that we articulated when we joined the market, places us in a very good position to deliver future growth.

"We have grown in our core markets as well as new geographies as we continue to benefit from the ongoing trend of fuel price deregulation that is taking place with the global fuel retail market.

“The group has achieved considerable success with its managed services product, driven SaaS conversion and also recently launched the new Kalibrate Cloud as well as the Strategic Advisory Services division which will enhance our offering.”


Profile

KSS Fuels has changed its company name to reflect the culmination of the integration of Market Planning Solutions Inc. (MPSI) and the launch of a revolutionary new suite of petroleum retail decision support solutions. From now onwards the company will be known as Kalibrate Technologies and will do business under the shortened name Kalibrate. "

IsoRay Makes 1st Cesium-131 Delivery, for Treatment of an Inoperable Brain Cancer Afflicting a Young Child in Peru
www.isoray.com/custom_type/isoray-makes-first-cesium-131-del…

"RICHLAND, WA, United States, via eTeligis Inc., 07/14/2014 - - IsoRay Inc. (NYSE MKT: ISR), a medical technology company and innovator in seed brachytherapy and medical radioisotope applications, today announced the first Cesium-131 seed shipment to Peru for the treatment of a Glioma brain tumor located near the brainstem.

Dr. Carlos Alvarez, Neurosurgeon at Instituto de Columna y Cerebro in Lima, successfully completed the world's first stereotactic brain implant utilizing Cesium-131 seeds. Dr.Alvarez said "The patient was a 7 year old female who was diagnosed with a 3 centimeter inoperable Glioma brain tumor that was positioned close to the brainstem. Due to the size and tumor location, surgery and delivering high dose radiation using radiosurgery was not an attractive option." Following the procedure Dr. Alvarez reported that there were no postoperative complications and the young girl was awake with no additional neurological deficit.

IsoRay CEO Dwight Babcock stated "These casespull on your heart strings and IsoRay's team rose again to the challenge in support of physicians worldwide and patients in need. By placing custom made Cesium-131 within the tumor, a very high dose can be delivered while sparing other critical structures in the brain and brainstem. IsoRay's ability to deliver our isotope required the timely cooperation of Peruvian governmental agencies and our distributor BioProPeru. Thankfully the early reports from Dr. Alvarez are very rewarding to those who worked so hard on this case and we hope for continued success. We are extremely pleased with the exceptional results a growing number of thought leaders and major medical centers are experiencing throughout the U.S. and internationally as Cesium-131 receives more widespread adoption. We believe Cesium-131's ability to fight cancer with new delivery options while improving the quality of life for the men, women, and children who are battling these devastating cancers distinguishes it from other treatment options."

IsoRay is the exclusive manufacturer of Cesium-131.The pioneering brachytherapy is one of the most significant advances in internal radiation therapy in 20 years.Cesium-131 allows for the precise treatment of many different cancers because of its unrivaled blend of high energy and its 9.7 day half-life (its unequaled speed in giving off therapeutic radiation).

In addition to its CMS codes, Cesium-131 is FDA-cleared and holds a CE mark for international sales in seed form for the treatment of brain cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer, ocular melanoma cancer, colorectal cancer, gynecologic cancer, head and neck cancer and other cancers throughout the body. The treatment can be deployed using several delivery methods including single seed applicators, implantable strands and seed sutured mesh, and several implantable devices including the GliaSite radiation therapy system, the world's only liquid radiation balloon catheter device used in the treatment of brain cancer.


About IsoRay

IsoRay, Inc., through its subsidiary, IsoRay Medical, Inc., is the sole producer of Cesium-131 brachytherapy seeds, which are expanding brachytherapy options throughout the body.Learn more about this innovative Richland, Washington company and explore the many benefits and uses of Cesium-131 by visiting www.isoray.com.

"New Technology Puts Your Own Cells to Work, to Repair +Rejuvenate Your Body"
[e-mail]
604-248-8696
[e-mail]

"Vancouver, BC / September 9, 2014 / There is enormous interest in the worlds of medicine and esthetics in the promise of regenerative medicine. From cellular replacement techniques for treating Parkinson's disease to collagen-producing cell injections for wound healing and rejuvenating aging skin, significant steps are being made towards the commercialization of cell therapies. These changes are going to attract major industry players who are constantly on the watch for the latest technologies in development.

Vancouver-based RepliCel Life Sciences Inc. (OTCQB: REPCF) is a company that is already capturing industry attention. Its unique research into cells from hair follicles could play an integral part in accelerating the repair of tendons, damaged skin and pattern baldness.

David Hall, chief executive officer of RepliCel, describes the premise behind its research as being "elegant in its simplicity." For example, to treat chronically injured tendons, a patient's collagen-producing cells (fibroblasts) are isolated from a small biopsy taken from the nape of the patient's neck, replicated and then injected directly into a damaged tendon to stimulate the stalled healing process leading to structural rehabilitation.

"These isolated fibroblast cells are prolific in their ability to produce Type 1 collagen, the key and missing cell in the stalled healing cycle of a tendon. This same principle holds for aged and sun damaged skin where the collagen-producing fibroblasts have been damaged by ultraviolet light over time. Our focus is to address indications where there is a deficit of active fibroblasts," Hall explains. "As injuries occur and people age, their ability to produce collagen and other critical proteins is depleted through repeated injury, sun damage, aging and other factors. Our technology, as it's proposed, will jump-start the healing process."

One focus for RepliCel is on clinical trials for chronic tendon injuries, an area of major concern for employers, compensation boards, athletes, active aging populations and the military. Early clinical work using cells isolated from the skin returned excellent results, and RepliCel believes that it has improved the technology even further by using healthier cells isolated from hair follicles. Trials planned for the fall of 2014 will return results in 2015.

The power of the RepliCel approach lies in the fact that treatment utilizes a person's own cells, thereby reducing risk of complications, notes Lee Buckler, managing director for Cell Therapy Group, a Vancouver-based regenerative industry consulting company. "Taking a patient's own cells, replicating them in a regulated facility and then returning them to the body minimizes safety risks."

The markets RepliCel is addressing with their products are significant, he adds. "Their platform, built around two different hair follicle cell populations, could be instrumental in skin applications for burns, acne scarring or aging, in addition to the market for musculoskeletal injuries. It could also play a key role in disrupting the micro-transplant and hair rejuvenation business for pattern baldness."

Regenerative medicine technologies are now solidly on the radar of big pharmaceutical, biotech and health care companies, Buckler says. "Most life science company executives now believe that cell-based products will represent a new way of delivering therapies to patients. As such, they're now starting to invest in technologies to make sure they have a horse in the race."

"Most of the top companies like Pfizer, Janssen, GSK, Novartis, Celgene now have internal and/or external cell therapy programs," Buckler adds. "Other companies are investing in bringing manufacturing technologies to the sector and even companies not traditionally in health care, like Nestlé and L'Oreal, have established their own research institutes for these cell-based programs. If you look at the industry's development pipeline, most every condition is being pursued as a target for a cell therapy."

RepliCel's current pipeline includes trials for tendinosis, pattern baldness and treatments for aging and sun-damaged skin in various stages of development. Hall estimates that data from the tendon and dermal programs will be available to support licensing discussions by 2015, and pattern baldness in 2016.

"Having this many trials is pretty impressive for a small company," Hall says. "Our model has always been to develop products, demonstrate efficacy and then license to large pharma or cosmetics firms who can do the final commercialization. We want to be the research and development engine that creates revenues from licenses and royalties. In fact, Shiseido Company of Japan has already partnered with us on our pattern baldness product. They acquired an exclusive geographic license for Asia."

Having spent much of his career researching treatments for tendinosis, Dr. Jack Taunton, professor at the University of British Columbia faculty of medicine's sports medicine division, says regenerative therapy holds great promise when dealing with chronic, long-term injuries. "We've dealt with a number of these types of injuries caused by overuse or repetitive strain in thousands of patients. Typically treatments have included physiotherapy, ice, anti-inflammatory's, dextrose and PRP [platelet-rich plasma] injections. Yet, we still have a significant population of patients that do not get better." He is hopeful that the upcoming RepliCel trials will improve those numbers given that hair follicle fibroblasts produce the amount of Type 1 collagen needed for fundamental repair of the tendon. "The potential to save millions of dollars in treatment of chronic tendon disorders is huge. It's extremely exciting."

Dr. Ross Davidson, an orthopedic surgeon and director of post-graduate sports medicine at the University of Auckland in New Zealand has treated countless athletes with chronic overuse injuries throughout his career. "I do see a huge potential for this. It has been a pleasant surprise to see the amount of collagen these fibroblasts produce for repairing tendons. It's a big change from other treatments being released. If it works – and I believe it will - it will reduce the number of surgeries significantly."

Beyond its clinical trials, the success of RepliCel's products will be put in the hands of licensing partners which have the infrastructure to support commercialization, says Mark Landy, director of research for senior medical technology and regenerative medicine analyst for Summer Street Research in Boston. The good news is that the industry is not having to wait too long for the clinical trials to get proof of concept. "Having data coming in 2015 and 2016 enables the company to accelerate licensing."

He believes RepliCel has a significant opportunity ahead given that its regenerative therapy approach addresses extremely large markets that are ready for solutions not provided by today`s treatments. "The industry as a whole has gone beyond the fears around regenerative and genetic engineering and is seeing its value. We now know we can take certain cells from the body and safely put them in certain areas. It's a notion that goes back to bone marrow transplants and implants. The opportunities – and the markets – for regenerative medicine are very, very large."

With results from clinical trials on the horizon, Hall is confident things are moving forward as they should. "We've been quietly building the fundamentals of this business – forging deals with major players, building up a diversified portfolio and strengthening our management team. Every step we take is incrementally adding value to the shareholders and furthering therapies for patients."

TRADE NEWS: Keysight Technologies "Introduces Logic Analyzer, That Captures Industry's Highest Data Rates"
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/09/09/trade-news…

"Keysight Technologies, Inc. today introduced the industry’s highest-data-rate state-mode logic analyzer (up to 4 Gb/s), the industry’s first solution for validating simultaneous read and write DDR4 traffic across all byte lanes captured from a DDR4 DIMM operating at data rates of more than 2.5 Gb/s.

The Keysight U4154B logic analysis system merges three modules to help memory design engineers accelerate turn-on and debugging of DDR2/3/4 and LPDDR2/3/4 memory systems. The system provides reliable data capture, precise triggering and a portfolio of validation and performance tools.

The Keysight U4154B logic analyzer is designed for engineers who work on high-end digital designs, mobile, computing, DDR and LPDDR memory and server applications. The U4154B combines an industry-leading state capture speed of 4 Gb/s with the ability to reliably capture data on the industry’s smallest eye openings, as small as 100 ps by 100 mV. These capabilities allow engineers to measure the increasingly fast digital signals used in emerging technologies and validate and troubleshoot their designs with confidence.

“The need for reliable measurements and analysis becomes more critical as DDR4 and LPDDR4 memory speeds continue to increase,” said Dave Cipriani, vice president and general manager of Keysight’s Oscilloscope and Protocol Division. “The new U4154B logic analyzer helps our customers continue to innovate by providing visibility into their high-speed memory systems.”

The new instrument is driven by a 64-bit software application that allows users to take full advantage of all memory installed in their 64-bit operating systems.

The Keysight U4154B is an AXIe-based logic analyzer module. Associated probes and powerful analysis software provide essential capabilities for engineers working with DDR and LPDDR memory systems, high-speed application-specific integrated chips, analog-to-digital converters and field-programmable gate arrays operating at speeds up to 4 Gb/s.

Timing zoom provides simultaneous state and timing measurements with 80-ps timing resolution and 256-K-sample memory depth, which gives designers more insight into problems by allowing simultaneous state and high-resolution timing measurements over a 20-us time span. The industry’s highest trigger sequencer speed (2.5 GHz) gives engineers the ability to trigger reliably on sequential events on high-speed signals without having to give up triggering flexibility.

At high speeds, signal integrity validation becomes critical for reliable performance. Validating signal integrity on all channels of a DDR or LPDDR system with an oscilloscope can be very time consuming. The exclusive eye-scan capability of the U4154B allows a quick overview of signal integrity on all signals of a DDR or LPDDR system in a fraction of the time it takes using alternative methods.

Software and probes for the U4154B logic analyzer help engineers complete their tasks.

The Keysight B4622B DDR2/3/4 and LPDDR/2/3/4 protocol compliance and analysis toolset automates measurements on bus traces to help engineers quickly identify protocol problem areas and obtain an overview of system performance.
Keysight and channel partner FuturePlus Systems offer a broad range of probing solutions compatible with the U4154B, including DDR2/3/4 BGA probes and interposers as well as Keysight soft-touch probes for midbus probing.

The U4154B logic analyzer module is compatible with Keysight’s M9502A two-slot and M9505A five-slot AXIe chassis. Multiple modular systems can be combined for time-correlated measurements on multiple buses in a system.


U.S. Pricing and Availability

The new Keysight U4154B logic analyzers can be ordered today with a starting price of $89,288 for 136 channels, including chassis and probe cables, not including probes. Shipments will begin in October.

The FS2510 DDR4 DIMM interposer requires the FS1070 modification kit for operation at more than 2.5 Gb/s.

http://wsw.com/webcast/baird39/NSTG/

"NanoString Technologies, Inc., (NASDAQ:NSTG) a provider of life science tools for translational research and molecular diagnostic products, today announced the introduction of a new highly multiplexed gene expression panel for the nCounter® Analysis System, the PanCancer Immune Profiling Panel. This novel panel will enable researchers to create profiles of the human immune response in all cancer types, potentially accelerating the discovery and development of drugs, therapies and predictive biomarker signatures for immunotherapy treatment response.

The growing field of Immuno-oncology, aimed at leveraging the body’s ability to generate an effective immune response against cancer, has seen a surge of progress in recent years. New discoveries, immunotherapy drugs, and promising ongoing clinical trials have intensified the focus on this area of cancer research. NanoString’s PanCancer Immune Profiling Panel is designed to provide researchers with a novel tool to help facilitate new advancements in key research areas including targeting of checkpoint blockades, development of chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) for T-cell therapy, and the identification of adjuvants for stimulating the immune response in the tumor microenvironment.

The PanCancer Immune Profiling Panel includes a novel collection of genes and offers a unique way of profiling the immune response to cancer. The new gene expression panel comprises 770 genes, including more than 100 genes for the identification of 24 different immune cell types, 30 genes specific for the expression of recognized cancer antigens, genes involved with checkpoint blockade, and key immune pathway genes for both innate adaptive and humoral immune responses.

NanoString’s new Immune Profiling Panel for immuno-oncology research was developed in collaboration with worldwide leaders in the field of immuno-oncology, including Dr. Jérôme Galon, Research Director at INSERM Laboratory, Cordeliers Research Center in Paris, France. Dr. Galon is a leading cancer immunologist recognized for his numerous publications in the field of cancer and human tumor microenvironment, and his work with the worldwide Immunoscore task force.

Dr. Galon commented, “NanoString’s PanCancer Immune Profiling Panel is an exceptional collection of genes that encompasses the many characteristics of the immune response and will undoubtedly provide valuable insights for all types of cancer research. By studying gene expression patterns across immune cell types, cancer antigens, checkpoint blockades, and genes involved with both the innate and adaptive immune response, researchers will now be able to construct an in-depth profile for how the host immune system is responding to cancer.”

“The PanCancer Immune Profiling Panel complements our recently launched PanCancer Pathways Panel and brings a new dimension of gene expression information to a field that has historically been focused on protein-based analytical methods, such as immunohistochemistry,” said Joseph Beechem, Ph.D., Senior Vice President of Research and Development at NanoString Technologies. “Our collaboration with Dr. Galon has greatly helped guide the development of this new panel that will enable researchers to bridge the gap between what drives tumor growth, and what attempts to control tumor growth, in order to promote a better understanding of immuno-oncology.”

The PanCancer Immune Profiling Panel complements NanoString’s PanCancer Pathways Panel, which analyzes all of the key cancer pathways: PI3K, STAT, MAPK, TGFβ, Notch, Hedgehog, Wnt, Apoptosis, Cell Cycle, RAS, Chromatin Modification, Transcriptional Regulation and DNA Damage Control. The powerful combination of these two panels allows scientists to look both at the immune response to cancer as well as the impact cancer has on gene expression across all major cancer pathways, creating a combined collection of more than 1,300 unique cancer-related genes that can be tested in parallel. The panels can be used on all sample types supported by NanoString’s nCounter system including Formalin-Fixed, Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE), whole blood or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and cell lysates.

Feinstein Institute Researcher Creates New Genetic Resource
[e-mail]
516-562-2670
www.stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2014/09/09/feinstein-…

"MANHASSET, N.Y., Sept. 9, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Investigators at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research and other institutions have published the first report from a large-scale effort designed to aid in the discovery of genes associated with risk of common diseases. The initial findings from the Ashkenazi Genome Consortium were published in Nature Communications.

The Ashkenazi Jewish population – Jewish individuals of Central and Eastern-European ancestry – is medically important because of its short history (less than 1,000 years) and limited population. As an isolated population, Ashkenazi Jews have a more uniform genetic background compared to other populations, making it easier to detect genetic mutations that increase their risk of common diseases such as schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, breast cancer and diabetes.

Todd Lencz, PhD, an investigator at the Feinstein Institute, director of the Laboratory of Analytic Genomics at the Zucker Hillside Hospital, and associate professor of molecular medicine and psychiatry at the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine, co-founded the Ashkenazi Genomics Consortium. The consortium is a collaborative effort involving more than a dozen researchers from leading institutions, including Columbia University's Engineering School, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, who use similar strategies to understand the genetic basis of diseases.

In their Nature Communications publication, Dr. Lencz and his Ashkenazi Genomics Consortium colleagues completed full DNA sequencing of 128 Ashkenazi Jews, generating the largest resource to date of genetic variations in the population. The Consortium reports that the resource will be beneficial for medical genetics studies in the Ashkenazi Jewish population and will make personal clinical genomics much more efficient by facilitating the discovery of disease genes.

"Because the human genome has so many moving parts, the task of finding disease genes is an enormous needle-in-a-haystack problem," said Dr. Lencz. "Searching in a more uniform sample, such as the Ashkenazi Jewish population, will permit more rapid discoveries that have implications for all people, regardless of their background."

Itsik Pe'er, associate professor of computer science at Columbia Engineering, and co-founder of the Ashkenazi Genomics Consortium, adds, "It's important to us to make our data available to the entire research community. We've released it to public-access databases and fully expect the creativity of the scientific world to come up with additional uses for the data. What's especially gratifying is the idea that our work will pave the way for personalized genomics in other populations as well."

The Ashkenazi Genomics Consortium will continue to sequence DNA with the goal of learning about the root causes of disease, and ultimately to apply that knowledge to improve medical practice.


About The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research

Headquartered in Manhasset, NY, The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research is home to international scientific leaders in many areas including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, psychiatric disorders, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, sepsis, human genetics, pulmonary hypertension, leukemia, neuroimmunology, and medicinal chemistry.

Actionable Genome Consortium Forms, with 'Cross Disciplinary Leaders from 'World-Renowned Cancer Institutions' '
http://investor.illumina.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=121127&p=irol-n…

"World-renowned cancer centers and Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ:ILMN) today announced the formation of the Actionable Genome Consortium (AGC), an effort to recommend openly published standards for the widespread use of next-generation sequencing to guide decision-making in clinical oncology. The core remit of the AGC is to define the principles and content of the “cancer actionable genome” — a comprehensive description of genomic alterations that define individual patients’ tumors. Once defined, the actionable genome will help oncologists and pathologists determine optimal therapeutic and testing strategies to improve patient outcomes.

Currently, the definition of what is actionable varies, and clinical interpretation of genomic tests is challenging even for experts. Further, the majority of patients lack access to multidisciplinary Tumor Boards, such as those at major cancer centers, which define what constitutes an actionable event in a tumor.

“Oncology is as ready as any area of medicine to see the genomic revolution become the core of medical practice. Advances made over the past several decades, including those in next-generation sequencing, have set the stage to re-think how cancer should be diagnosed, classified and treated,” said Charles Sawyers, M.D., chair of the Human Oncology and Pathogenesis Program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator. “Patients will be more likely to receive the proper targeted course of therapy from the outset when the community oncologist is aware of standard molecular testing procedures and how to interpret these test results.”

“It is clear that solutions to cancer lie with the combined resources of leading cancer research institutions. The AGC is an exciting model for bringing together shared discoveries and wisdom to benefit cancer patients,” said Gordon Mills, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the Department of Systems Biology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

“The AGC is paving the way to truly transform cancer care by enabling the combination of clinical and molecular data at an unprecedented scale. The AGC is part of a national effort to promote this transition and get it right," said Eric Holland, M.D., Ph.D., director of Solid Tumor Translational Research at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

“Developing standards that will facilitate the use of genomics in personalized treatment is an exciting advancement that will lead to real benefits for patients,” said Barrett Rollins, M.D., Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.


The AGC has developed and will publish a list of actionable events, including recommendations for:

- best practices for biopsy, sample storage and transport, and extraction;
- technical performance standards for DNA sequencing;
- standards for variant calling, annotation and interpretation; and,
- guidelines for the format and content of clinical reports.


Once adopted into medical guidelines, the recommendations of the AGC will pave the way for the development of in vitro diagnostics, additional information to support regulatory oversight of genomic testing for cancer, and reimbursement of tests that will improve patient outcomes. Additionally, the AGC will include a research arm that will leverage the scientific, clinical and technical capabilities of the member institutions for novel collaborative, cross-institutional projects aimed at grand challenges in molecular oncology.

“The AGC represents an extraordinary gathering of experts and decision-makers in clinical and molecular oncology, pathology and technology who, by proposing the standards by which every tumor will be sequenced, will move the field of clinical oncology into the era of precision,” said Rick Klausner, M.D., former Director of the National Cancer Institute and current Senior Vice President & Chief Medical Officer at Illumina. “Widely available, standardized genomic testing of tumors can be the means by which precision oncology and therefore precision medicine begins to live up to its promise.”

Benchmark Holdings - "Investing in 'novel cat allergy treatment' " - ED - Sep 10, 2014

- Benchmark helps deliver improved healthcare products +services, to the Animal Health industry. Rising demand from clients for its products +services to manage sustainability practice in worldwide production +supply chains 'underlines their opportunity for 'significant organic +external growth' '.

The Animal Health division is collaborating with HypoPet AG, to develop a 'breakthrough cat allergy vaccine'. Cat allergy is 'believed' to affect >700,000,001 people globally, producing symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes +rashes.

Cat allergy vaccines in current development, for human use, "aim to turn off the individual's allergic response mechanism". In contrast, BMK is to collaborate in developing the 'innovative HypoCat vaccine' for cats.

This is a 'toooootally new animal health treatment market', representing a ' "potentially" significant market opportunity'(>£200,000,000), yet Benchmark's investment is milestone-based +'relatively low-risk'. A commitment of "up to" c.£8,000,000 into the project has been agreed(over a four-year timeline), against key milestones. As such we believe that the transaction "should" be a ' "potentially" exciting value driver', post 2018. ...-

Hazardous waste-eating bacteria discovered - ENN/UoM/ISMEJ/N.com, MANCHESTER - Sep 10, 2014
www.manchester.ac.uk/discover/news/article/?id=12760
www.nature.com/ismej/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/ismej2014125…
www.enn.com/top_stories/article/47817

"Although bacteria with waste-eating properties have been discovered in relatively pristine soils before, this is the first time that microbes that can survive in the very harsh conditions expected in radioactive waste disposal sites have been found.


The disposal of our nuclear waste is very challenging, with very large volumes destined for burial deep underground. The largest volume of radioactive waste, termed 'intermediate level' and comprising of 364,000m3, will be encased in concrete prior to disposal into underground vaults. When ground waters eventually reach these waste materials, they will react with the cement and become highly alkaline. This change drives a series of chemical reactions, triggering the breakdown of the various 'cellulose' based materials that are present in these complex wastes.

One such product linked to these activities, isosaccharinic acid (ISA), causes much concern as it can react with a wide range of radionuclides. If the ISA binds to radionuclides, such as uranium, then the radionuclides will become far more soluble and more likely to flow out of the underground vaults to surface environments, where they could enter drinking water or the food chain. However, new findings indicate that microorganisms may prevent this becoming a problem.

Working on soil samples from a highly alkaline industrial site contaminated with highlight alkaline lime kiln wastes, researchers discovered specialist “extremophile”� bacteria that thrive under the alkaline conditions expected in cement-based radioactive waste. The organisms are not only superbly adapted to live in the highly alkaline lime wastes, but they can use the ISA as a source of food and energy under conditions that mimic those expected in and around intermediate level radwaste disposal sites.

The ultimate aim of this work is to improve our understanding of the safe disposal of radioactive waste underground by studying the unusual diet of these hazardous waste eating microbes.



- The bacterium (inset) was found in soil samples in the Peak District -

One of the researchers, Professor Jonathan Lloyd, from Manchester University's School of Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, said:

"Nuclear waste will remain buried deep underground for many thousands of years, so there is plenty of time for the bacteria to become adapted. Our next step will be to see what impact they have on radioactive materials. We expect them to help keep radioactive materials fixed underground through their unusual dietary habits, and their ability to naturally degrade ISA."

The paper "Microbial degradation of isosaccharinic acid at high pH”� is published in The ISME Journal. "

By selecting Ceragon’s advanced microwave solutions, Bell Mobility 'aims to >double the capacity, of their wireless backhaul network'. ~30% of all Bell Mobility cell sites are connected to the network, via microwave. The reason for this is that fiber is not always available or cost-effective, especially in rural parts of the country. As new mobile technologies gain support +popularity, there is a clear need for an increase in backhaul capacity over microwave. The "use of a single frequency channel to achieve ultra-high capacities is extremely important for mobile operators, as there is a finite amount of the spectrum available". While competing solutions 'claim' to achieve Gigabit bandwidth through the use of multiple frequencies, it is not aaalways possible for operators to license multiple frequencies, where +when the additional bandwidth is required; Ira Palti: “Bell Mobility "is taking 'big steps' toward preparing their network to haul LTE Advanced +even 5G future services.

NanoStruck Announces "as much as" 96% Recovery of 9.1 GMS/Ton, from Tailing Samples, "much higher than expected by industry observers", NanoStruck is in discussions with the owners of the source site regarding potential contracts for processing the mine tailings @the source site; head assays +sampling were done by SGS SA +optical microscopic study performed by Petrolab Ltd, to verify the representativeness of the tailing samples as well as percentage of precious metal contained in them. Recovery rates +processes used were also monitored +verified by certified 3rd party experts +laboratory testing, including electron microscope analysis; The value of precious metals left in mine tailings in `12 "alone" by mining companies, such as Anglo American Plc(LON: AAL), Barrick Gold Corp.(TSX: ABX, NYSE: ABX), Goldcorp Inc.(TSX: G, NYSE: GG) +Rio Tinto Group(ASX: RIO), was 'estimated' to be ~US$20.000.000.000, @current market prices. Of that, gold represented >80% of the value, with ~360 tons of gold left behind in tailings, due to their micronic size, complex minerology as well as political +environmental concerns related to cyanide leaching; NanoStruck’s environmentally conscious approach did not involve the use of cyanide leaching. All chemicals +organic substances used were recycled +reused. More details on the refractory gold tailing samples +specifics of the results will be published in the weeks ahead, along with 'highlights' from an environmental impact study, as well as a volumetrics +grade survey; Bundeep Singh Rangar: "We are very excited to announce these 'tremendously' high recovery rates, involving non-cyanide hydrometallurgy +nanotechnology based processes, "that "could" be transformative for the mining industry "."; Brian Mok: "High value refractory ore +tailings " "would" be very well suited for this process, as well as jurisdictions where the use of toxic materials, such as cyanide is undesirable or unacceptable" " - Feb 7, 2014

NanoStruck Announces 87.6% Recovery of 56 gms/Ton Silver Tailings Samples, No Cyanide Used in the 'Closed-Loop Environmentally Friendly Process'; Three leach tests were conducted using the 'proprietary mixed acid leach process'. Roasting was conducted on the sample for two of the leach tests, producing higher recoveries, although the un-roasted sample still produced a 71% recovery rate. 1. 87.6% silver recoveries, resulted from a 4 hour leach time @95 degrees Celsius, with the standard feed grind size of D80 175 micron of roasted material. 2. 84.3% recoveries, resulted from a 4 hour leach @95 degrees Celsius with the standard feed grind size of D80 175 micron, with roasted material @a lower acid concentration. 3. 71% recoveries, resulted from a 4 hour leach @95 degrees Celsius from received material, with the standard feed grind size of D80 175 micron, with an 'altered acid mix concentration'. The average recovery for the roasted samples was 86%, across the two leach tests performed using the 'proprietary process', which combines a 'novel mixed acid leach' with a solvent extraction stage, utilizing 'specific organic compounds'. Nooooo cyanide is used in this environmentally friendly process. The flow sheet design is for a closed loop, sealed unit, in which all chemicals are then recycled; Bundeep Singh Rangar: "These results "further underpin the effectiveness of our processing technology". With our patented process we are achieving excellent recoveries, in not only silver tailings, but also gold tailings as well, both of which have 'vast global markets', for us.” - Sep 4, 2014

Sirona Biochem Announces Collaboration with Jean-Michel Cousteau, Fabien Cousteau +Explore Green, a "worldwide resource of the leading names +creativity about the environment +exploration"; Jean-Michel Cousteau: "Our oceans cover >70% of the surface of Earth, yet we have explored <5% of it. The "future solutions to human health +our quality of life still remain to be discovered." Sirona Biochem "is working to investigate the great resources of our ocean for all mankind. I applaud their effort to learn from the ocean, without taking from the ocean"."; Interest in Sirona by the Cousteaus began with a glycoprotein isolated from Antarctic fish that acts as a natural “anti-freeze.” This compound, successfully synthesized by Sirona, has "widespread "potential" use in cosmeceuticals +"perhaps " pharmaceuticals." In laboratory development, the compound does not require harvesting any fish—a critical distinction, due to rapid fish species depletion, due to over-fishing +other human induced problems; "Goals" of the collaboration also include establishing the criteria for an environmentally-friendly product accreditation by Jean-Michel +Fabien Cousteau. Sirona Biochem’s anti-aging glycoprotein "will be the 1st compound assessed, using the newly developed criteria in the "hopes " that it will become the 1st Cousteau accredited-cosmetic compound in the world." "Another "goal" is to educate multi-national corporations, global consumers +academia that sensitive environments, such as oceans +rainforests, " "may " be the greatest source of healthcare +therapeutic solutions, available to the world"; but "the challenge is to learn from these sensitive environments, without depleting their natural resources". Sirona "represents a research +development leader, who has accomplished this goal already" - Jan 13, 2014

Sirona’s 'Anti-Aging Glycoprotein' "Successfully Extends Cell Life, in Serum Deprivation Study"; its anti-aging compound TFC-837 was proven to extend cell life with 'outstanding' results in a 12-day serum-deprivation study. The study subjected unprotected +glycoprotein-protected fibroblast cells, to a serum-deprived environment for a period of twelve days. By day ten of the study, 100% of the unprotected cells were dead. In contrast, 75% of the glycoprotein-protected cells continued to be fully viable @the conclusion of the twelve day study; N. Belenkie: "We "couldn’t be more excited by these results +the 'potential value' these compounds can create". Results "such as these are the reason we have attracted 'globally respected partners' for this project, including Jean-Michel Cousteau, Fabien Cousteau +the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. This is 'absolutely groundbreaking technology'; the 1st in a new family of synthetic glycoproteins, successfully created +patented by our scientific team".", Next steps for the development of this compound include additional studies, to validate other cell preservation qualities +the standard cohort of cosmetic safety studies, necessary for launch of this compound as an anti-aging ingredient. The goal for this compound is to be available for acquisition by a global partner within six months - May 20, 2014
