Proteins and Transport

Lumera Corporation (NASDAQ:LMRA) and The Institute for Systems Biology (ISB) will be collaborating in the development of a high-throughput, label-free detection platform designed to revolutionize proteomics research. Proteomics as far as I can tell, is basically anything to do with Proteins. High density micro arrays are read in real time without the use of molecular labels. In short it means the researches get through more work quicker.

Ener1 Nanotech are really making a difference by producing high discharge rate lithium-ion battery electrodes for hybrid electric vehicles. The electrodes give higher output and are charged faster. The company's new electrode production system also allows for the use of low cost raw materials and eliminates the need for undesirable additives such as binders and solvents that can slow a battery's rate of power output. This could in fact revolutionise not just the automobile industry, (i wish) but basically anything from fuel cells, to superconductors and even electric wires.

I won't hold my breath but I feel a change comming. Maybe all the oil wars will stop and carbon ones will start.
