Bio-nano Science: Better Metrics Would Accelerate Progress

Which method of teaching would be better cooperative or lecture?

Introduction: Most of the knowledge acquired through lecturing is forgotten rapidly. As dentistry is becoming a more complicated field of study and as new techniques are introduced, the use of modern educational approaches to promote lifelong learning becomes necessary. This study is to compare cooperative teaching method and lecture method in terms of their impact on students' learning and the...

Genomics in aquaculture to better understand species biology and accelerate genetic progress

Citation: Yáñez JM, Newman S and Houston RD (2015) Genomics in aquaculture to better understand species biology and accelerate genetic progress. The production of fish and shellfish through aquaculture is an increasingly important source of high-quality animal protein, with a worldwide production of 66.6 million tons in 2012 (FAO, 2014). Considering the continuously growing global human populat...

Nano Micro Robotics and its Application to Bio Science and Technology

The cloning is one of the most promising biotechnologies today. The project aims to automate every process required in the cloning, i.e. supplying, cutting, removing, filtering, assembling and fusing, on the basis of micro robotics technology. The processes are performed on a micro chip consisting of micro channels and chambers in which oocytes and membranes flow and are manipulated. A whole sy...

Nano-Bio-Genesis: tracing the rise of nanotechnology and nanobiotechnology as 'big science'

Nanotechnology research has lately been of intense interest because of its perceived potential for many diverse fields of science. Nanotechnology's tools have found application in diverse fields, from biology to device physics. By the 1990s, there was a concerted effort in the United States to develop a national initiative to promote such research. The success of this effort led to a significan...
