Mass production technique for metal-complex-type organic nanotubes

(Nanowerk News) Scientists at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) in Japan have developed a new technique for the mass production of unique metal-complex-type organic nanotubes. It was found that the nanotubes can be obtained when an aqueous metal salt solution is added to an alcoholic suspension of amphiphilic molecules comprising glycylglycine and fatty acids. In this process, the sheet-like structure of the amphiphilic molecules was found to change to a nanotube structure within 10 minutes. This method of synthesis has been extended to the mass production of organic nanotubes. The new technique is almost five times faster than the conventional method, and the amount obtained is 200 times that obtained in the conventional method.

NSA Patents Network Tampering Detection Technique

The US National Security Agency (NSA) has patented a network tampering detection technique. According to the patent filing, the NSA’s software “measures the amount of time the network takes to send different types of data from one computer to another” and alerts when something takes too long. I didn’t know the government can patent things like that.

Scientists count messages made by a single gene

In a study in the advance online publication of Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva Univ. describe a technique for looking more precisely at a fundamental step of a cell's life—a gene, DNA, being read into a message, mRNA. The technique could provide a window into the process by which genes are switched on inappropriately, causing disease.

Technique provides snapshot of all genes in human genome

This graphic shows polymerases on one strand of DNA (red) pausing during the transcription process but some polymerases start moving again travel through and transcribe the gene. Polymerases on the opposite strand (blue) travel in the opposite direct ...

Technique provides snapshot of all genes in human genome

Like Silly Putty lifting an imprint of the Sunday comics off a newspaper, complex enzymes called RNA polymerases lift information off DNA strands. The polymerases then transcribe those genetic instructions onto RNA for making proteins that cells use for basic functions.

Novel Technique For Fluorescence Tomography Of Tumors In Living Animals

Fluorescent molecules – i.e. substances which can be stimulated to emit light – are extremely valuable tools in biological research and medical diagnosis. Fluorescence can be used for instance to analyze the regulation and expression of genes, to locate proteins in cells and tissues, to follow metabolic pathways and to study the location and migration of cells. Of particular importance is the combination of fluorescence imaging with novel techniques that allow tomographic three-dimensional visualization of objects in living organisms.
