A profusion of biotechnology products is expected over the next five to 10 years, and the number and diversity of new products has the potential to overwhelm the U.S. regulatory system, says [Read more]
Researchers have developed a new “barcode” technique for rapidly screening the ability of nanoparticles to selectively deliver therapeutic genes to specific organs of the body. Genetic therapies, such as those made from [Read more]
Sir J. Fraser Stoddart, a researcher formerly funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s (DTRA) Joint Science and Technology Office (JSTO), was this year awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for design [Read more]
A team of scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, backed by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, has created a material that is highly breathable yet protective from threat agents. The team fabricated [Read more]
A new patent has been issued to Arbutus Biopharma Corporation for its proprietary lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery technology. The claims of the patent broadly encompass populations of lipid particles effective for delivering [Read more]
The Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical & Biological Defense and PEO Soldier/Soldier Systems are seeking to develop next generation chemical warfare agent-resistant fabrics and barriers. The requirement is part of this [Read more]
The industry of semi-conductor materials is helping to dramatically progress micro- and nano-fabrication techniques, facilitating increasingly smaller components that are closer to each other. Within the techniques used in these processes, one [Read more]
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is again sponsoring the Young Faculty Award (YFA) this year, and is soliciting proposals from junior faculty for ground-breaking single-investigator research and development in the [Read more]
Gold has always been a precious metal, but scientists are making it more valuable by using it as a tool to save military lives by serving as a biological defense protecting service [Read more]
A new manufacturing process, developed by researchers at the Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing (CHN) at Northeastern University, produces nanoparticle structures with a unique ability to pass through normal tissue boundaries. Dr. Ahmed [Read more]
