Amphiphilic macromolecules with novel hydrophobic segments
Invention Summary:
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality in developed countries. Atherosclerosis, defined as the buildup of lipid rich plaques within the vascular intima, is the foremost pathology underlying these conditions. This causes irregular uptake of oxidized low-density lipoproteins (OxLDL) which leads...

Internal Vibration Isolation for A Cryogen-free Cryostat to Operate Scanning Tunneling Microscopes
Invention Summary:
Cryogen-free cryostats have attracted attention due to their significant reduction in cost and labor to cool systems to cryogenic temperatures. With cryogen-free cryostats helium does not need to be refilled, which allows experiments to run indefinitely without interruption. This also means that the costly drawing from the worlds...
