(Institut national de la recherche scientifique - INRS) Under the responsibility of Professor François Légaré, the ALLS infrastructure has received more than $12 million from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) and the Quebec government to boost the performance of its infrared lasers.
(Toyohashi University of Technology (TUT)) Toyohashi University of Technology has successfully developed sulfur-containing liquid crystal (LC) dimer molecules, which exhibit a helical liquid crystal phase, over a wide temperature range. It is that the ester bond direction in the molecular structures largely impacts the pitch lengths of helical nanostructures in the NTB phase. It is expected that this molecular design can be used to tune the resultant physical properties of LC materials that would contribute to new LC technologies.
(Universidad Carlos III de Madrid) A scientific study carried out by the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) has produced a mathematical description of the way in which a tumor invades the epithelial cells and automatically quantifies the progression of the tumor and the remaining cell islands after its progression. The model developed by these researchers could be used to better understand the biophysical characteristics of the cells involved when developing new treatments for wound healing... Читать дальше...
