🔬 Exciting Announcement: The 4th tutorial at our scientific conference focuses on cutting-edge advancements in nanomaterials! (What else?)🌟 👉 Topic: Nanomaterials via green manufacturing approaches using reactive coating and printing, by Prof. Ghassan Jabbour from the Faculty of Engineering, University of Ottawa, Ottawa (Canada). Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) hold immense potential across diverse fields such as catalysis, electronics, detection systems, and packaging, thanks to their extraordinary chemical and physical properties. Traditionally, their fabrication involved complex processes and expensive equipment. But fear not, our speaker is set to unveil a game-changing method - an in-situ reduction reactive blade-coating technique! 🎨 This revolutionary approach paves the way for roll-to-roll coating and printing, making large-scale production of AuNP-based films more accessible and cost-effective, opening up a world of possibilities for their applications. By tinkering with reactant quantities and solvent systems, we unlock the ability to craft AuNP films with varied sizes and shapes on both rigid and flexible substrates. 💡 Imagine the possibilities: flexible, printable devices ushering in a new era of innovation in electronics, photonics, chemistry, and biomedicine! 🚀 Don't miss out on this groundbreaking tutorial!

Researchers at the Technion’s Schulich Faculty of Chemistry have developed a groundbreaking chemical process called triazenolysis, which transforms alkenes—common organic compounds like petroleum—into multifunctional amines. These amines are essential raw materials for polymers, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural chemicals. Inspired by ozonolysis, a process that forms carbon-oxygen bonds, triazenolysis instead creates carbon-nitrogen bonds by cleaving carbon-carbon bonds in olefins. This innovation expands the toolkit for producing materials with wide-ranging industrial and research applications, offering a new method to synthesize valuable compounds. The research, detailed in *Nature Chemistry*, combines experimental work with computational analysis to elucidate the process's mechanisms and stages. For more details, please continue reading the full article under the following link: https://lnkd.in/efUUb8g6 -------------------------------------------------------- In general, if you enjoy reading this kind of scientific news articles, I would also be keen to connect with fellow researchers based on common research interests, including the possibility to discuss about any potential interest in the Materials Square cloud-based online platform ( www.matsq.com ), designed for streamlining the execution of materials and molecular atomistic simulations!

The University of Alberta and National Research Council Canada / Conseil national de recherches Canada authors Robert Peters, Luis Gutierrez-Rivera, Steven Dew, and Maria Stepanova in their paper "Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Detection of Biomolecules Using #EBL Fabricated Nanostructured Substrates" fabricate and characterize conjugate nano-biological systems interfacing metallic nanostructures on solid supports with immobilized biomolecules. The fabrication of nanostructured substrates using #electron #beam #lithography, immobilization of biomolecules on the substrates, and their characterization utilizing surface-enhanced #Raman #spectroscopy (#SERS) are discussed. Three different designs of nano-biological systems are employed, including protein A, glucose binding protein, and a dopamine-binding #DNA aptamer. The binding of respective ligands, D-glucose and dopamine, is also included in the latter two cases. The three kinds of biomolecules are immobilized on nanostructured substrates by different methods, and the results of SERS imaging are reported. The capabilities of SERS to detect vibrational modes from surface-immobilized proteins, as well as to capture the protein-ligand and aptamer-ligand binding are demonstrated. The results also illustrate the influence of the surface nanostructure geometry, biomolecules immobilization strategy, the molecules' Raman activity, and the presence or absence of the ligand binding on the SERS spectra acquired.

VILS community members should consider this new *call for proposals on enabling technologies and innovations for biomanufacturing of biologics and advanced therapeutics*. https://lnkd.in/gVwd9Jep The targets of this initiative are well received, since we know that advanced modalities (such as cell and gene, including therapeutic viruses) can get very close to market authorization but fall short on ultra-complex CMC (chemistry, manufacturing and control) elements: https://lnkd.in/gp39iMQ9 ...as well as e.g. the empty capsids regulatory question https://lnkd.in/gDJMmMwu Also see the UK guidelines for your UK counterpart at: https://lnkd.in/gfaYyfb4 As a dual UK and Canadian citizen with many ties, our VILS president Sam Mercer is also happy to speak to any companies about such UK-Canada collaborations and see where network, introductions or informal advice may be useful. Among the other elements, as regards the specific element mentioned of "division of intellectual property rights", a plug for the Lambert model agreements is in order, since this can be a very useful framework for co-development of IP: https://lnkd.in/gpTw5jkg
