A new method that can rapidly determine whether a virus is infectious or non-infectious could revolutionise the response to future pandemics. Called FAIRY (Fluorescence Assay for vIRal IntegritY), the assay can screen viruses against virucidal antivirals in minutes, allowing for the effectiveness of antiviral measures, such as disinfectants that break the chain of infection, to be quickly determined.

Big Metal Additive used its DED capabilities to produce experimental, topology-optimized aircraft structural components for the U.S. Air Force. The aluminum parts were designed to reduce both mass and the number of components needed relative to a more typical aircraft structure, but the result was a hollow form practical to produce only through additive manufacturing on a relatively large-travel deposition-style machine. The machine that produced the components was a hybrid, and testing revealed an important advantage of incorporating machining into the process. Compared to the as-printed versions, the parts that were machined inside and out as the forms were being built had thinner walls due to the machining, but nevertheless performed dramatically better in fatigue life. I learned about this during a visit to the company’s Denver, Colorado, facility.

Implementing and maintaining a competitive advantage is an ever-present challenge in a global economy. For analytical laboratories, this can be accomplished by achieving improvements in both performance and usability through the use of modern High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) instrumentation. Assessment of a new HPLC instrumentation platform to understand the various system configurations is important to achieving successful results. Another key aspect to reduce the variability from one laboratory to another is to understand specific method conditions and other variables that can impact chromatographic reproducibility. To address these challenges, a solid understanding of variables that can impact method performance should be assessed.

(Nanowerk News) Dielectric optical microresonators confine and concentrate light in a tiny circular path due to multiple near total internal reflections at the curved dielectric-air interface, where light interferes constructively for certain wavelengths. These microresonators offer the possibility to achieve control of light confinement and propagation through precise adjustment of their shape, size and refractive index.

Uveal melanoma is a rare cancer type with an incidence of 7.6 per million adults in Australia and represents around 5% of all melanomas. Patients presenting with uveal melanoma have a 50% chance of the disease metastasising or spreading from the eye, commonly to the liver, even after successful treatment of the tumours within the eye.

The majority of rare diseases have a genetic cause. The underlying genetic alteration can be found more and more easily, for example by means of exome sequencing (ES), leading to a molecular genetic diagnosis. ES is an examination of all sections of our genetic material (DNA) that code for proteins. As part of a Germany-wide multicenter study, ES data was collected from 1,577 patients and systematically evaluated. This made it possible to diagnose a total of 499 patients, with 34 patients showing new, previously unknown genetic diseases. The study thus makes a significant contribution to the initial description of new diseases. In addition, software based on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) was used for the first time on a broad scale to support clinical diagnosis. The "GestaltMatcher" AI system can assist in the assessment of facial features with regard to the classification of congenital genetic syndromes. The results of the study, in which 16 universities and university hospitals were involved, including the University of Bonn, have now been published in the renowned journal "Nature Genetics".
