Spirometry Test

The gold standard in lung testing In the same way that blood pressure measurements provide a simple yet effective screening method for cardiovascular disease, spirometry tests can help to unmask t...

Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus SCLE

Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) is a nonscarring non–atrophy-producing photosensitive dermatosis. SCLE may occur in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjögren...

Mesoscopic light transport by very strong collective multiple scattering in nanowire mats

Researchers report that light flow is strongly affected by mesoscopic interference in semiconducting nanowire mats in which the scattering length is much shorter than the wavelength of light. By measu...

Ultrathin nanowire-based electrode helps capture signals from brain nerve cells

Electrodes operated into the brain are today used in research and to treat diseases such as Parkinson's. However, their use has been limited by their size. At Lund University in Sweden, researchers ha...

Researchers create semiconductor 'nano-shish-kebabs' with potential for 3-D technologies

Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new type of nanoscale structure that resembles a "nano-shish-kebab," consisting of multiple two-dimensional nanosheets that appear to be...

Sandia nanowire template permits flexible energy absorption

Indium gallium nitride is a valuable future material for photovoltaic systems, however structural strain remains an issue. Sandia National Laboratories scientists reported that if the indium mixture i...

Colossal injection of catalyst atoms into silicon nanowires

The incorporation of impurities during the growth of nanowires from the vapour phase alters their basic properties substantially, and this process is critical in an extended range of emerging nanometr...

Gold biomineralization by a metallophore from a gold-associated microbe

Microorganisms produce and secrete secondary metabolites to assist in their survival. We report that the gold resident bacterium Delftia acidovorans produces a secondary metabolite that protects from...

Pershing Gold Identifies New Gold Target Area and Confirms Gold Intercepts in Historic Drill Holes at the Relief Canyon Mine, in Pershing County, NV and Sells Its Valor Gold Stock

LAKEWOOD, Colo., May 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pershing Gold Corporation (OTCBB:PGLC) is pleased to announce that it has identified a previously unrecognized zone of highly mineralized, gold-beari...

Periodic magnetoresistance oscillations induced by superconducting vortices in single crystal Au nanowires.

We show in this paper that it is possible to induce superconducting vortices in a gold nanowire connected to superconducting electrodes. The gold nanowire acquires superconductivity by the proximity e...

Simultaneous electrical and plasmonic monitoring of potential induced ion adsorption on metal nanowire arrays.

Simultaneous LSPR and electronic sensing of potential induced ion adsorption onto gold nanowire arrays is presented. The formation of a Stern layer upon applying an electrochemical potential generated...

Gold nanowire networks: synthesis, characterization, and catalytic activity.

Gold nanowire networks (AuNWNs) with average widths of 17.74 nm (AuNWN(1)) or 23.54 nm (AuNWN(2)) were synthesized by direct reduction of HAuCl(4) with sodium borohydride powder in deep eutectic solve...

Electric detection of target DNA by fabricating gold nanowire bridges on planar nanogap electrodes.

For the electrical detection of target DNA (partial avian influenza virus/H1N1/HA sequence) prepared via asymmetric PCR, we fabricated DNA-templated conducting gold nanowire bridges on planar nanogap...

Ground state depletion microscopy for imaging interactions between gold nanowires and fluorophore-labeled ligands.

Ground state depletion with individual molecule return (GSDIM) is used to interrogate the location of individual fluorescence bursts from fluorophore-labelled DNA molecules on gold nanowire surfaces....
