The Invention Textiles that have been modified by integrating peptide nanostructures show remarkable properties. These include the physical and chemical properties of the fabric, such as strength and fire-resistance, as well as much more advanced properties including enzymatic activities such as ...

Summary By measuring the changing capacitance of each molecule as it flows through a measuring device, its' exact motion path can be measured accurately with sub-micrometer spatial resolution and millisecond time-scales, rather than relying on existing methods of concluding the motion of single ...

Description of Technology Of the metallic ions with anti-bacterial properties, silver is perhaps the best known. Use of antibacterial fibers/yarns manufactured from silver-nylon composites are still limited and do not afford prolonged protection due to loss of the silver ions, requiring ...

Phase inversion proves to be a simple, versatile, cost-effective technique Categories Materials, nanoparticles, process for preparation, nanoemulsions, phase inversion Development Stage Proof of concept for various monomers and polymers Patent Status Patent Pending WO ...

Summary A method to produce amides in one step without any unwanted by-products, by coupling of alcohols with amines with the liberation of hydrogen gas, catalyzed by unique ruthenium complexes. Amides are widely used in the industry (e.g. nylon, Kevlar) and have widespread importance in ...

Summary Real-time monitoring and analysis of fluid drop formation and dripping can be achieved by electrostatically "sensing" the formation and detachment of a drop of liquid. Replacing technologies in which the drop is first "seen" and only then analyzed, this technology may be used in fields in ...

This novel invention presents a cost effective process for the fabrication of ceramics packed with metal. These cermets composites are based on Boron Carbides with infiltrated copper. The process addresses the design of B4C and Cu cermets with two interpenetrating and interconnected networks of B4C ...

Summary A novel inorganic compound, which shows clear pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties despite the lack of spatial periodicity inherent to ionic crystals. Pyroelectricity is a property of certain crystals consisting of polarization developed in a crystal by an inequality of temperature. ...

Background: Particle analyzers utilize particle 'focusing' by establishing high particle concentrations within a thin stream of gas. Most sources for analysis, like gunpowder residue in ambient air, do not show these properties. The so-called Aerodynamic Lens arrays are the common solution to this ...

Description of Technology The present invention relates to methods and materials for the photochemical functionalization of parylene (poly(p-xylylene)) films using a wide range of functional organic molecules/reagents as well as polymeric polycarboxylated (polyCOOH) (nano)particles based on ...

Description of Technology: The present invention relates to the attaching of different kinds of microspheres to a variety of fabrics using ultrasound radiation. The creation of the microbubbles is a short process that lasts a ...

Summary A sensor for DNA hybridization can sense double-stranded DNA according to the intrinsic interface magnetism of organic molecules, which can be adsorbed on metals, carbon surfaces etc., and is temperature independent. This same technology may be applied as a spin filter for electron ...

Summary A biosensor composed of a lipid bilayer onto which ion channels are doped can be used to measure ion flow. Upon interaction with the affector molecule, the ion channel components form a pore, through which ions may flow and be measured by the sensing electrode.Applications Diagnostics and ...

Summary A method to produce hydrogen from water under ambient conditions.Hydrogen production is a large industry, with an annual growth rate of around 10%. Globally, some 50 million metric tons of hydrogen were produced in 2004. As of 2005, the economic value of all hydrogen produced worldwide was ...

Summary Toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic herbicide pollutants from groundwater, reservoirs and industrial waste pose a significant health hazard to humans. This technology uses ecologically-friendly substances to reduce these chemicals, thereby forming less toxic compounds that can easily be ...

Summary HABA, a new nonradioactive crhomogenic label can be used for accurate detection, localization, isolation and purification of biomolecules without altering their function. Applications Medical diagnostics, aid in biotechnology related processes, for detection, isolation, purification and ...

Description of Technology: It is known that women wearing artificial nails very often suffer from nail fungus. The reason is because nail fungus live and breathe in dark moist places such as under the artificial nail (moist) and in dark places (with nail polish applied). Even without nail polish ...

Electrochemical method of applying nanoparticles to metal surfaces Categories Medical Devices, Nanotechnology, Materials, Coatings, Nanoparticles Development Stage Method feasibility proven; optimizing process with empty nanoparticles Patent Status U.S. patent filed Market ...

Description of Technology This invention concerns novel conducting functional polymers and resulting copolymers that present a major interest for biotechnology applications such as miniaturized microarrays, biosensors with or without electrochemical read-out, and super paramagnetic nanocomposites ...

Summary Modification of the electronic properties of layered-type semiconductors can be accomplished by doping/alloying process of the semiconductor. In the present disclosure we show that doping of MoS2 and WS2 nanotubes/nanoparticles can be accomplished by doping with either Re (n-type) or Nb ...
