Most antibiotics came from compounds made by micro-organisms in the soil.
Here, we highlight the recent progress made by micro- and nanoengineering techniques in the biomaterials field in the context of directing stem cell differentiation.
The array is made by micro-injection moulding, and the mould is processed by ultra-precision milling to achieve high precision and a low manufacturing cost.
Researchers from the Max Planck Society in Germany were surprised to find corals, made by micro-organisms, processing methane and sulphates in what is the largest oxygen-free area on the planet.
The results show that quantitative histomorphometry corresponds strongly with 3D measurements made by micro-CT, where a high correlation exists between the two techniques for bone area/volume measurements around and inside the porous network.
The HAp TiO2 coating, made by micro-arc oxidation (MAO), is successfully grown on the Ti surface in one step; BMP-2 growth factor is physically immobilized on the HAp TiO2 coating.
This approach is demonstrated by a preliminary study of the coefficient of friction (CoF) in sub-mm length reciprocating sliding motion for samples of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and an R11 acrylic formulation made by micro-stereo-lithography, with an SiO2-coated silicon wafer used as a control sample.
+ Here's a William Shakespeare sculpture the size of the eye of a needle, made by micro-sculptor William Wigan in honor of the Bard's 400th anniversary.
The electrode chamber was closed, avoiding air bubbles, and subsequent additions were made by micro-syringe through a small channel.
On Thursday, Siemens made available through its corporate Web site, www.siemens.com, a virus scanning product called SysClean made by Trend Micro, an antivirus software maker based in Cupertino, California.
In this project, the micro-spike dry electrodes were fabricated by a vacuum casting method using a master pattern piece made by CNC micro-machining, in which silicone rubber moulds are created and then used to vacuum cast polyurethane (PU), epoxy or epoxy-carbon micro-spike electrodes.
