New Grant Bolsters Efforts to Generate Faster DNA Sequencing Tools
Looking ahead to a future in which each person's genome can be sequenced as a routine part of medical research and health care, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has awarded new grants to support development of innovative technologies with the potential to dramatically reduce the cost of DNA sequencing. Some of the grantees are looking to nanoscale science and engineering to make their contributions toward this goal.
NIST Advancing Nanoscale Research with New Helium Ion Microscope
Helium Ion Microscopy (HIM) is a new particle beam imaging and measurement methodology. The first commercial HIM has been installed at NIST within the Manufacturing Engineering Laboratories. (MEL), Precision Engineering Division (PED). A research program within PED is studying the imaging mechanisms, modeling, analytical capabilities and uncertainties regarding dimensional measurements made with this microscope. Read more.
NISE Network Brings Nano to the Public
This booklet invites scientists and engineers who work in nanoscale science and engineering to collaborate with museums to present nanoscience and technology to the general public. Written by a researcher for other researchers, this booklet is designed as an introduction to what museums call the “informal science education” field. Read more.
NCL Issues News for Investigators, Others
The Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory (NCL) published its inaugural issue of NCL News. The newsletter will feature NCL services, process for submitting nanomaterials for evaluation, assays developed by the NCL for evaluation of nanomaterials, and other nano-related news. The NCL.s goal is to work towards eliminating suffering and death from cancer through a collaborative effort that leverages resources from government, industry, and academia.
