ChemPro can even scale its manufacturing processes to produce single purpose chemical products such as a degreasing agent it created exclusively for a specific machine used by the automotive industry.

«The siRNA delivery targeted carriers constructed today hone in on specific cells and require chemical conjugation of the targeting agent,» says Prof. Dan Peer of the Laboratory of Precision Nanomedicine at TAU's School of Molecular Cell Biology and Biotechnology, who led the research.

University Professor of Applied Physics Stephen Arnold and his team at the New York University Tandon School of Engineering have made a discovery that could lead to Star Trek - like biosensor devices capable of flagging the barest presence in blood of a specific virus or antibody, or protein marker for a specific cancer; or sniffing out airborne chemical warfare agents while they are still far below toxic levels.

Rather than ordinary spot - testing approaches, which look for unnatural ratios between biological constituents in a single sample or for direct chemical evidence of known doping agents, the passport allows investigators to see the big picture — any deviations from the rider's test - established norm that might result from doping, even if the specific drug or tactic remains unknown.

The agents synthesized in his laboratory all contain a characteristic chemical double bond at a specific position, which enables their shape to be altered by light.

These researchers are part of PNNL's Transformational Materials Science Initiative, which is investigating novel nanomaterials and technologies that generate electronic signals in the presence of specific chemicals or biological agents.

Periplasmic binding proteins (PBPs), normally involved in bacterial chemotaxis, have been computationally re-designed to produce highly specific and sensitive bio-sensing capacities for substances such as explosives, a chemical agent surrogate, and a metal [2], [3], [4], [5].

Specific safety concerns include: (1) Lithium batteries pose both a chemical and electrical hazard — under certain conditions they can overheat and ignite and, once ignited, can be especially difficult to extinguish; (2) the potential for propagation of thermal runaway between cells or batteries in a package and between adjacent packages of batteries; (3) the potential for uncontrolled lithium battery fires to overwhelm the capability of existing aircraft cargo fire protection systems, leading to a catastrophic failure of the airframe; and (4) the potential for venting of combustible gases from lithium ion cells in thermal runaway, which could collect in an enclosed environment and cause an explosion even in the presence of a suppression agent.
