The total #market volume of #nano_products made in #Iran in 2020 is estimated at about USD 553 million, which amounts to USD 3 billion dollars once the purchasing power parity (PPP) is accounted for.
A new, low-cost wearable #nano_engineered device employs #thermoelectric generators to convert the body’s internal temperature into electricity. Researchers predict devices could appear on the market in five to 10 years.
#Nanobodies have the potential to be developed into treatment and immunity against #SARS_CoV2 and its novel escape mutant. Thanks to their small size they can bind to the virus in more places than regular #antibodies.
The recent international #standard for nanotechnology (ISO/TS 23650:2021) specifies protocols to determine the quantity of #nanomaterials released from #textile following washing or exposure to artificial human body sweat.
The newly published ISO #nanotechnology_standard describes a methodology of label-free and real-time detection to assess the #toxicity of #nanomaterials to eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
#Utrecht University will judge its scholars by other standards, including their commitment to teamwork and their efforts to promote open science instead of #impact_factor.
#Nanobodies are able to access #epitopes that are inaccessible to conventional #antibodies. It should be possible to develop nanobodies that recognize novel epitopes that retain broad neutralizing activity.
#LG_Chem has recently announced plans to increase the production capacity of #carbon_nanotubes from 500 to 1,700 tons per annum to meet #battery #market demands.
The African Union recognizes #nanotechnology as a compelling imperative and identifies nanotechnology as one of six priority areas in its Science, Technology and Innovation Strategy for #Africa 2024.
Using #carbon_nanotubes as anode-conductive additives allows for a reduction in the use of conductive materials by around 30 percent and increase the capacity of #lithium_ion_batteries.
A recent survey carried out in five selected EU countries shows that the majority (87 %) of study respondents want to know if the product they are buying contains #nanomaterials.
The new agreement between CEMEX and Carbon Upcycling in producing nanomaterials with greater reactivity and a lower carbon footprint, from industrial #CO2_emissions can results in the production of #concretes that meets the #construction industry's strictest requirements
A new technique of producing large sheets of high-quality atomically-thin #graphene could lead to lightweight, flexible #solar devices and a new generation of #display_screens.
Iran, a country under a series of bitter US sanctions, is launching the largest #N95_mask plant in West Asia with a production capacity of 4 million per day, relying on electrospun #nanofiber technology.
#Silica-coated #iron_oxide nanoparticles have a strong affinity for #RNA that can be used to extract #coronavirus RNA from a solution containing a sample from the patient.
Recent Alnylam advances in lung delivery technology suggest the possible utility of #RNAi therapeutic for the treatment of new #coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
A vast majority of #nanotechnology_patents on #coronaviruses have focused on the #diagnostic methods based on #CRISPR technology.
Loading #antiviral agents on #graphene_oxide (GO) enhances its biocompatibility while reducing the cytotoxicity of both GO and the antiviral agents.
