Johns Hopkins Breakthrough Could Make Microchips Smaller Than Ever 

Shutterstock Johns Hopkins researchers have discovered new materials and a new process that could advance the ever-escalating quest to make smaller, faster and affordable microchips used across modern electronics -- in everything from cellphones to cars, appliances to airplanes. The team of scientists has discovered how to create circuits that are so small they're invisible to the naked eye using a process that is both precise and economical for manufacturing........Continue reading....

ASINA Dataset: LC1_σ_lung

The dataset captures media-dependent physicochemical properties and biological responses in in vitro lung models. Hydrodynamic diameter and PDI are measured via DLS at t₀ (immediately after preparation) and t₂₄ (24 hours later), with SD values reported. Exposure conditions include concentration (expressed as µg/mL), and time of exposure (h). Biological features include cell line, cell type, cell origin, and well format (e.g., 96-well plate). Cell viability is evaluated using Alamar Blue assays along with inflammation-ROS quantification, and genotoxicity (γH2AX).

From papers to RDF-based integration of physicochemical data and adverse outcome pathways for nanomaterials - Journal of Cheminformatics

Abstract Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs) have been proposed to facilitate mechanistic understanding of interactions of chemicals/materials with biological systems. Each AOP starts with a molecular initiating event (MIE) and possibly ends with adverse outcome(s) (AOs) via a series of key events (KEs). So far, the interaction of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) with biomolecules, biomembranes, cells, and biological structures, in general, is not yet fully elucidated. There is also a huge lack of information on which AOPs are ENMs-relevant or -specific, despite numerous published data on toxicological endpoints they trigger, such as oxidative stress and inflammation. We propose to integrate related data and knowledge recently collected. Our approach combines the annotation of nanomaterials and their MIEs with ontology annotation to demonstrate how we can then query AOPs and biological pathway information for these materials. We conclude that a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) representation of the ENM-MIE knowledge simplifies integration with other knowledge. Scientific contribution This study introduces a new database linking nanomaterial stressors to the first known MIE or KE. Second, it presents a reproducible workflow to analyze and summarize this knowledge. Third, this work extends the use of semantic web technologies to the field of nanoinformatics and nanosafety.

Nanomaterial stimulates and regrows severed nerves like sci-fi tech

In a move that echoes a sci-fi series, researchers have developed a super-small material that was able to not only stimulate nerves in rodents, but reconnect them as well. The finding could lead to injectable particles that take the place of larger implants.
