Monday May 3, 2021 LNG bunker supplier
Titan Krios, that will increase the firm s supply capacity in the
Port of Zeebrugge and in the
English Channel ports. Krios is envisaged to as a compact seagoing LNG bunker vessel with
4,200 cbm of capacity and will operate with multiple tanks to segregate streams of LNG and carbon neutral bio-LNG. The vessel is expected to be operational in 2023. “As demand for LNG, and increasingly bio-LNG, accelerates, ensuring the right infrastructure and supply is in place for our customers is essential, said
Michael Schaap, Titan LNG’s Commercial Director Marine.
Building dedicated in honour of UOW’s fourth Vice-Chancellor, Professor Paul Wellings
The University of Wollongong’s ground-breaking new Molecular Horizons building was officially opened on Friday 30 April 2021 by the Governor-General, His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Retd).
The formal ceremony dedicated the Molecular Horizons building to retiring UOW Vice-Chancellor Professor Paul Wellings CBE, to recognise his outstanding contribution to the University, naming it the Paul Wellings Building.
The building was designed to house a suite of revolutionary technology – including the three-metre tall, one-tonne FEI/Thermo Fisher Titan Krios cryogenic electron microscope – that will deliver high-impact research that changes the way we understand disease processes.

Scientists uncover for the first time how the body s energy makers are made using Cryo-Electron Microscopy (cryo-EM) at eBIC within Diamond which is based in Oxfordshire.
A new paper published in
Science today (19 February 2021) by an international team of researchers reports an insight into the molecular mechanism of membrane-tethered protein synthesis in mitochondria. This is a fundamental new understanding of how the human mitoribosome functions and could explain how it is affected by mutations and deregulation that lead to disorders such as deafness and diseases including cancer development.

How NeCEN helped develop Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine
The Phase 3 clinical trial results of the promising Covid-19 vaccine of Johnson & Johnson are expected this month. The Dutch electron microscopy facility NeCEN helped develop the company’s vaccine, and they have now published their scientific findings in Nature Communications.
Freezing microscopes
Already in January 2020, Johnson & Johnson started working on a coronavirus vaccine. The lion’s share of the work has been done by Janssen Pharmaceutica, a Belgium-based division of Johnson & Johnson, which also has a branch at the Leiden Bio Science Park in the Netherlands. At the same site, you can find the Dutch facility NeCEN, which is part of Leiden University. NeCEN is a national and international research facility for cryo-electron microscopy, an imaging technique that takes place at dazzling temperatures of around minus 196 degrees Celsius.
