Understand Discrete Nanoscale Transport

June
2008
On The Horizon
Anh-Tuan Dinh, Chinmay Pangarkar, Samir Mitragotri
Unlike mass, energy and momentum transfer, which are described by continuum equations, the movements and interactions of the nanoscale entitites within a cell constitute the transport phenomenon known as discrete nanoscale transport (DNT).

Consider Using Fluoropolymers in Biological Applications

December
2004
Materials
Lauri Jenkins, Sharon Libert, Victor Lusvardi
Even with the use of costly corrosion-resistant alloys, metal contamination continues to occur in the biologics industry, thus reducing product yield and activity. Fluoropolymers are emerging as a viable solution to this problem.
