or country rarely comes without its share of art museums and exhibitions. Unique work of arts are indeed an integral part of
what makes culture and history so fascinating and their trade weighs quite heavily in today's economies.
In 2013 the global art market generated some EUR 47.42 billion according to the European Fine art Foundation.
We could compare preservation of cultural heritage to medicine where the works of art play the role of the patients:
but must then be complemented by the development of medicines (advanced restoration materials) to cure the patient (restore the work of art).
In order to address this challenge we have created a unique partnership that groups research institutions and materials science experts together with high-profile museums conservation centres and experienced professionals in the field of modern art preservation.

"The researchers developed a novel, metal, pillar-bowtie nanoantenna (p-BNA) array template on 500-nanometer tall glass pillars (or posts.
The team believes that the relatively high aspect ratio (pillar height-to-thickness) of 4. 2 for the p-BNAS,
along with a significant thermal contribution, permit sufficient compliance of the pillars to be actuated by electron-beam-induced gradient forces.
The experiments were conducted with cell cultures. It is known not yet if the nanoparticles can actually travel through the bloodstream.

and dopes graphene with nitrogen is pumped through a flexible narrow reinforced tube called a capillary column and heated in an oven for six hours.
But the materials are packed tightly in the capillary column and remain so as they're pumped out resulting in the high volumetric energy density.
The process using multiple capillary columns will enable the engineers to make fibers continuously and maintain consistent quality Chen said.

On the same date as Premera, Anthem discovered a breach that affected nearly 80 million customers
Anthem announced its breach on February 13, more than a month before Premera announcement today. Unlike in the Premera breach, medical data and banking information were believed not to have been exposed in the Anthem breach.
