Ultima streamlined the process by spraying the DNA-laden beads by the billions onto round silicon wafers the size of dessert plates. Nozzles above each wafer gently squirt out bases and other reagents, which spread thinly and evenly across the wafer as it rotates, reducing the amount of these expensive materials needed. Instead of moving back and forth across under the camera, the disk moves in a spiral, akin to how a compact disk is played, which speeds up imaging. It’s “clever engineering ...
STONY BROOK, N.Y. — Applied DNA Sciences Inc., a biotechnology company that provides of DNA-based anti-counterfeiting technology and product authentication solutions and services, announced that its technology has been instrumental at slashing copper theft with one of its partners in the European Union. For security reasons, the specific partner has requested anonymity. The copper anti-theft program, which has been in effect for about 18 months, helped to slash copper theft by more than 85%, a...

At the nanoscale, a clogged drain won’t clear be cleared with a plunger or a snake—or Drano, for that matter. But application of an external force can help, provided the nanoscale plumbing has the right surface, an irregular surface, or rather, a surface that is irregular in the right way. Graphene membranes that contain nanopores are being evaluated for use in DNA sorting and sequencing applications. Often, when these membranes are fabricated, they end up with surface-step defects, tiny terraced regions that would require any biomolecules ...

How much thought do you give to where you keep your bits? Every day we produce more data, including emails, texts, photos, and social media posts. Though much of this content is forgettable, every day we implicitly decide not to get rid of that data. We keep it somewhere, be it in on a phone, on a computer’s hard drive, or in the cloud, where it is eventually archived, in most cases on magnetic tape. Consider further the many varied devices and sensors now streaming data onto the Web, and the ...
