Silent labs for futuristic nanotechnology: Nanoscale article in Chemistry World

29 Aug 2013

Scientists can now experiment at the atomic scale with unprecedented accuracy in new ‘silent’ laboratories in Switzerland. These labs are shielded against all possible forms of background disturbances – external vibrations, acoustic noise, electromagnetic fields and temperature fluctuations. It is hoped that the labs, devised by Emanuel Lörtscher and his team at IBM Zurich, will accommodate the demands of nanotechnology for the next 20–30 years.

When probing or building structures at the nanoscale, experimental readings are so tiny that they are easily drowned out by any background noise – without a well-proofed lab, someone using the lift next door could ruin your results.

The labs were designed to screen all sources of background noise relevant to nanotechnology

Next-generation vascular stents: Nanoscale article in Chemistry World

27 Aug 2013

Scientists in the US and China have developed a biodegradable alloy for use in medical implants. The new alloy, called JDBM, mixes magnesium, neodymium, zinc and zirconium. JDBM degrades uniformly in physiological conditions so further surgery to remove implants made from it would not be necessary.

Atherosclerosis is a precursor to heart disease and occurs when artery walls thicken from cholesterol build-up. Surgical atherosclerosis treatment uses a mesh tube called a stent to restore blood flow in blocked blood vessels. While most currently used stents are non-degradable and require further surgery to remove them, stents made from JDBM by the teams of Rong Fan at Yale University and Guanyin Yuan at Shanghai Jiaotong University will degrade in the body so won’t need to be removed.
