Newomics – M3 Emitter
(updated Sept. 30, 2021) Researchers seeking to cure disease or address environmental and food safety hazards face a bottleneck in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), which requires biospecimens be loaded and delivered to the machine one at a time. LBNL researchers set out to clear that expensive, time-consuming bottleneck with a multinozzle emitter array. … [Read more...] about Newomics – M3 Emitter

Graphene-Based Material Takes Audio Tech to the Next Level
August 26, 2021 Just as clunky cathode ray tube televisions were displaced in the 1980s by flat panel, vivid displays, today’s audio technology may soon be displaced by graphene-based audio tech. In 2014, principal investigator Alex Zettl and postdoctoral researcher Qin Zhou of Berkeley Lab and the University of California at Berkeley published a seminal paper about … [Read more...] about Graphene-Based Material Takes Audio Tech to the Next Level
