Highly conductive covalently bonded electrodes for fast charging Li-ion batteriesTraditional battery electrode architecture utilizes polymer binding of active particles with conductive additives. Waterloo researchers have developed a replacement architecture that utilizes covalent bonding to form a network of bound active particles. This architecture provides a method for increasing electronic conductivity as well as bonding strength (to the current collector) using functional covalent bonding of heterogeneous material including carbonaceous, metallic, and metalloid materials. The covalently joined electrode architecture is compatible with current materials and electrolytes, and it enhances their electrochemical performance compared to reference slurry architecture anodes.

Highly Selective Fluorescent Biosensor for Labeling His-Tagged ProteinsA rapid, label-free biosensor for detecting specific conformation of His-tag labeled proteins, accessible for use in both academic- and commercial-R&D was invented at the Weizmann Institute of Science. This fluorescent biosensor detects and labels His-tagged proteins in complex environments, such as living cells, while offering high sensitivity, speed, and cost-effectiveness. Fluorescent biosensing has become a valuable tool in analytical research, while at the same time the poly-histidine tag (His-tag) has become the most commonly used tag for protein labeling. However, commercial products for labeling and detecting conformational changes in His-labeled proteins suffer from three main limitations: First is their inability to identify specific changes in the protein conformation. Second, even if such changes are detected, labeling of His-tag proteins is usually very laborious. Third, commercial probes tend to be large and consequently can interfere with the proteins function. Therefore, there is a need for a small, direct, and non-interfering fluorescent probe for detection of conformational changes. Prof. Margulies and his team have developed a first of its kind fluorescent molecule that provides detection of changes to the surface of His-labeled proteins. Subsequently, labeling proteins only if they are in a specific conformation. The biosensor exhibits high affinity, excellent signal-to-noise ratio and can be easily applied with no fixation or tedious protocols. Using the technology, many proteins and specific conformations can now be labeled and studied for the first time (proteins that were already successfully labeled using the biosensor: Calmodulin, B-cell lymphoma 2, G-protein).

Highly Sensitive Nanoscale Scanning Magnetic and Thermal SensorA new technology developed by a group of researchers from the Weizmann Institute is a nanoscale sensor-on-tip for local magnetic signals and thermal dissipation with state-of-the-art sensitivity and spatial resolution. Detecting a signal as low as the magnetic moment of a single electron is of key technological importance for applications ranging from electronics (e.g., hard discs, magnetic RAM and spin valves) to biotechnology applications, including enhanced tissue and organ imaging and MRI. Furthermore, investigation of energy dissipation on the nanoscale is of major interest in quantum systems in which the dissipation mechanism is related to preservation of quantum information, which is of particular importance in the field of quantum computing. To date, there are several local magnetic imaging methods, such as scanning superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID), magnetic force microscopy and Lorentz microscopy. Scanning SQUID microscopy is a promising technology, having the highest field sensitivity (1 micro-Gauss), however, it has a rather poor spatial resolution (of several microns). Energy dissipation is another important imaging parameter, which is not readily measurable on the nanometer scale and existing thermal imaging methods are not sensitive enough for studying quantum systems and are unsuitable for low temperature operation. Here, we propose a novel sensor device comprising a nanoscale SQUID-based probe. The fabrication method, enables the miniaturization of the sensor to an effective diameter of 1 ?B/Hz1/2) and micro-Kelvin thermal resolution, whereas commercially available thermal scanning systems are limited to an order of 10 milli-Kelvin.

Highly useful lactate carrier molecules in cancer treatmentA group of researchers from the University of Burgos, in collaboration with the University of Barcelona and IDIBELL, has patented a family of molecules that have the ability to transport lactate in living cells. The ability of these molecules to alter the lactate concentration in cells can have a significant impact on cancer therapy, as it has been observed that high levels of lactate in the tumor microenvironment are associated with progression and treatment resistance in some cancer cases. This technology represents a new advancement in the search for therapeutic strategies against cancer.

Holographic sensor for detection of adulterants in essential oilsThe research group of Holography and Optical Processing of the University of Alicante has developed a holographic technique for the detection of adulterants in essential oils. This technique is able to detect different types of adulterants qualitatively. In addition, a quantitative measurement of the degree of adulteration of an essential oil can also be performed by means of pre-calibration of the sensor for a particular adulterant. The sensor could be miniaturized and manufactured at a low cost compared to traditional methods of analysis such as gas chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. The sensor can be used by unqualified personnel.

Homogeneous Dispersion of CNT Composites for Improved Conductivity, Bucky PapersBattery and capacitor electrode technologies available in the industry today, are struggling to keep up with rapidly advancing applications that require high power and energy density such as electric vehicles, solar cells and telecommunications systems. One of the leading solutions to this problem are CNT-based films, exhibiting excellent conductivity with potentially moderate costs, yet current methods for their formation are both complicated and expensive or hamper the qualities of the material, causing conductivity reduction. A new technology developed by a group of researchers from the Weizmann Institute of Science is simple and potentially cost-effective, preserves the high electrical qualities of the original CNTs and can be easily used to form large surfaces. This technology involves a simple assembly method of organic nanocrystal combined with carbon nanotubes (ONC)/(CNT) to form self-supporting hybrid films with conductivities as high as 5.78 S/m, and excellent thermal stability (of up to ~300 °C). The characteristics of the films enable their use as porous electrodes, with easily adjustable pore sizes. These films can then be straightforwardly incorporated into existing platforms such as solar cells, batteries and super capacitors, improving their energy and power density capabilities. Successful incorporation of electrodes into perovskite solar cells has already been demonstrated to improve its efficiency and photo-stability and promising preliminary results were recently demonstrated for the utilization of ONC porous electrodes as separators in supercapacitors.

How to Distinguish Bacteria and Fungi: From Morphology to SequencingWhen classifying bacteria and fungi, morphological features are v¬ery relevant. Colony morphology is a useful tool widely used to classify and define them by researchers. Carefully studied and used during these experiments are the colony properties of individual bacterial and fungal colonies. Compared to fungi, bacteria easily thrive on nutrient-rich culture media. Phenotypically distinct-looking colonies are formed by various species of bacteria and fungi. The size, shape, texture, color, margins of the colonies vary.

Hybrid photocatalysts based on nanoclays for water purification (environment-friendly method of water purification)Water contamination becomes a problem, which may limit civilization progress. The development of a universal and inexpensive method of water purification is very difficult, because it may contain pollutants of different nature, e.g. heavy metals, organic compounds (pesticides, chlorinated aromatic compounds, antibiotics and surfactants) as well as bacteria. The water purification methods currently in use are based on osmosis, ion-exchange, adsorption, ultrafiltration, distillation and photooxidation. Although multifarious, they have limitations, mainly connected with their high power consumption and low efficiency. - UNIVERSIDAD DE BURGOSUNIVERSIDAD DE BURGOS
