Management Tips Researchers Making Better Use of the Social Network Scientists remain skeptical about the value of using social media platforms to communicate aspects of their research AAAS, which bills itself as “the world’s largest general scientific society,” has emerged as social media’s establishment champion, lending its considerable weight to the proposition that the consummate connectivity of nascent social technologies must be served. Read More Feature Article Researchers Show How to Amplify or Stifle Signals for Immune Responses Researchers aim to harness immune system to control disease T cells, the managers of our immune systems, spend their days shaking hands with another type of cell that presents small pieces of protein from pathogens or cancerous cells to the T cell. Read More White Papers and Application Notes Using FT-IR Microspectroscopy for Contaminant Identification in Engineered Plastics Engineered plastic components are ubiquitous in modern society. Plastics have the advantage of lowering cost, reducing parts count and weight, and providing ultimate industrial design flexibility as complicated functional shapes can be easily produced. The analysis of contaminants in engineered plastics is important for aesthetics or functional acceptance.

Read More White Papers and Application Notes Lean Labs—Delivering More with Less Applying lean principles to the clinical laboratory can successfully identify inefficiencies and provide improved operational performance, resulting in faster testing turnaround time, decreasing costs, and improved quality of end results. Continuous improvement principles have become widely popularized in the healthcare industry because of their significant impact in process reorganization and resource allocation. Lean methodology focuses on eliminating waste to deliver quality patient laboratory results at the lowest cost, within the shortest amount of time, and without sacrificing client satisfaction. Download your FREE resource eBook Everything You Need to Know About Gas Generators Laboratory gases serve a variety of purposes, from inert barriers for lab operations and instruments to consumption in analytical processes. On-demand gas generators have become an increasingly popular choice for laboratory gas production, offering many advantages over traditional cylinder gases. In this eBook you'll learn: Questions to ask before buying a gas generator Maintenance tips on gas generators Expert advice on how gas generators can improve your lab Featured products and new offers Download your FREE eBook Feature Article Iron Dissolved by Air Pollution May Increase Ocean Potential to Trap Carbon Iron particles generated by cities and industry are being dissolved by man-made air pollution and washed into the sea—potentially increasing the amount of greenhouse gases that the world’s oceans can absorb Scientists have long believed that acids formed from human-generated pollution and natural emissions dissolve iron in airborne particles—increasing the amount of iron to the ocean—but have lacked direct evidence to prove this theory. Read More Feature Article Study Finds New Mechanism to Control Information Flow in the Brain The team’s findings advance the understanding of how the brain processes touch, smell, hearing, sight, and taste Specialized nerve cells, known as somatostatin-expressing (Sst) interneurons, in the outer part of the mammalian brain, or cerebral cortex, play a key role in controlling how information flows in the brain when it is awake and alert.
