| | | | | | | Bioheating takes numerous forms, including lasers, acoustic waves and chemical reactions. This webinar will discuss how medical professionals can use COMSOL Multiphysics simulations to determine whether, and to what extent, biological tissues are damaged when these techniques are used.

| | | NEWS | | The dream of a hydrogen economy - a world run on H2gas, free from the pollution and politics of fossil fuels - may depend on developing an energy-efficient strategy for splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen. The problem is that water bonds are very stable, requiring hefty energy inputs to break. Scientists are eagerly developing catalysts to lower the energy demands, and thus the cost.

| | | | | | | Clue or Cludo (in Europe) is a popular board game in which participants solve a mystery by asking questions leading them to the "who, what, and where" of a crime. In materials science the same kind of investigation takes place as scientists and engineers analyze the effect of the selection of materials and their interactions with the real-world environment.

| | | ARTICLE | | Microscopy is growing at a rapid rate as the result of substantial investment in nanotechnology research. Advances in nanotechnology not only support advances in materials technology, they support developments in the semiconductor and medical devices industries. These billions of dollars drive support for advanced microscopy technologies, which are expected to become a $5 to 6 billion market globally by 2018.

| | | ARTICLE | | Laboratory automation techniques are commonplace, as they improve the accuracy and repeatability of laboratory operations, reduce human error in these operations and reduce cost of these operations. Defined as the use of technology to streamline or substitute manual manipulation of equipment and processes, laboratory automation offers solutions for enhancing workflows in various research laboratory environments.

| | | PRODUCT | | The Minitron incubator shaker from INFORS HT offers an attractive, space-saving design and a powerful drive. Even at maximum load, with a culture volume of 7.5 L, the Minitron's low-vibration operation is a persuasive factor.
| | | | |
| | | PRODUCT | | Promega Corp. launched the Maxwell 16 LEV RNA FFPE Kit for RNA isolation from mammalian FFPE (formalin fixed paraffin embedded) tissue samples. The new kit is designed to rapidly extract pure, high-yield RNA from thin sections of FFPE tissue samples.
