TGN1412 – the effects of the clinical trial with this humanised “superagonistic” monoclonal antibody can still be felt today. TGN1412 was developed for the…
“We explored a way to at least delay the rise of sea level we can no longer avoid by even the strictest climate-change mitigation strategies. This is estimated…
For several years now, the electronics and other industries have been abuzz about an entirely new spectrum of applications below the familiar field of silicon…

The present invention relates to a plant and a procedure for separating gold or other metal particles from a mixture of particles by applying dielectrophoresis. The physical separation method specifically separates metals, e.g. gold, from a suspension. This is accomplished by a special configuration of electrodes allowing for the creation of an electric field which is selective to metallic particles. The new method replaces environmentally hazardous cyanide leaching almost completely and thus considerably reduces the amounts of the chemicals that need to be applied.
The Marine Environmental Research Center established jointly by KAUST and Saudi Aramco is the first oceanic observatory capable of monitoring the Red Sea.
