The concept of synthesizing life has been around for quite a while in scientific — and science fiction — literature, but only in the past 5 years have rapid advances in DNA
synthesis techniques allowed the field to crystallize.
«There's an ongoing need to develop new
gene synthesis techniques,» said Calin Plesa, a UCLA postdoctoral research fellow and co-first author of the paper.
«For integrating graphene into advanced silicon microelectronics, large - area graphene free of wrinkles, tears and residues must be deposited on silicon wafers at low temperatures, which can not be achieved with conventional
graphene synthesis techniques as they often require high temperatures,» said Jihyun Kim, the team leader and a professor in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Korea University.
Using an innovative
inorganic synthesis technique, an interdisciplinary team led by Dr. O'Brien, associate professor of chemistry at The City College and a member of the CUNY Energy Institute at CCNY, prepared a mineral previously unknown in nature.
Using
spectral synthesis techniques, we find that its temperature is 9800K + / -300 K, that its projected area is a remarkably large 100 stellar areas, and its emitting volume resides at a distance of 1 AU from the star.
In December 2004, George M. Church of Harvard Medical School and Xiaolian Gio of the University of Houston announced that they had invented a new «multiplex»
DNA synthesis technique that will eventually reduce the cost of DNA synthesis to 20,000 base - pairs per dollar.
The team produced the tiny nanoparticles using
a synthesis technique known as the solvothermal method, in which precursors are heated under pressure in a special vessel, called an autoclave.
