Tweet Identifying the kind of bacteria is the main target for the physicians to be able to identify which type of antibiotic is suitable for treating the patient. A biomedical engineering professor, Niren Murthy at Georgia Tech, lead a group that reached a new challenging in developing a new agent that can target microbes, that [...]
Tweet U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory researchers have noticed that joining magnetic and electric properties can coexist in a special class of metals. Those materials “multiferroics” could be used as basis for next generation of memory, and sensing technology that are faster and more energy efficient. The researchers, who worked with colleagues at [...]
Tweet Barnacles which are related to crabs and lobsters, tend to live in shallow water. They attach themselves to any hard surface; Among those surfaces they attach themselves to the hulls of any boat. The barnacles that are attached to the boats damage them, and cause another problem that the biofouling used in those boats [...]
Tweet Every time I can’t find my garage door opener, I revisit the idea of taking the bus to work instead. If the buses in my hometown were more like London’s new eco-friendly hybrid buses, I think I would really get on board with taking the bus! London’s red buses, which have long been their [...]
Tweet Northwestern University researcher Douglas Losordo has reached after searching for more than 10 years, for a new way to help the patients which suffer from chronic chest pains. Losordo has been trying to reach a cure for those patients using a particular stem cell called CD34+ from the same patient. Losordo has been targeting [...]
Tweet Armchair quantum wire (AQW) is a weaved metallic carbon nanotubes that seems like a perfect solution for saving the wasted electricity in the usual electricity cables used nowadays. The AQW can transfer electricity with nearly no waste at all. Till now the manufacture of those nanotubes has exposed to some difficulties. But the new [...]
Tweet Dr. Eric Matheson of the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston and colleagues, have found out that people drinking hot tea or coffee have less possibilities to carry the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in their noses. The study, led by Eric Matheson from the University of South Carolina, looked at 5,500 Americans and [...]
Tweet Instead of turning the sun heat to electricity, it can be stored in chemical form and kept in a heavily insulated container and used when needed. Saving the chemical materials are of course capable to be stored for long periods without losing its stored energy. That is not a new approach but the elements that [...]
Tweet All kinds of industries pollute the air around it and also cause the pollution of the soil surrounding by several contaminants that we can’t see as the soil that is full of contaminants looks like the usual dirt. Before using the area surrounding the industries it has to be checked about toxic. It takes up [...]
Tweet University of Southampton researchers led by the Physics lecturer Dr. Antonios Kanara have developed smart nanomaterials. Dr. Antonios Kanara and his colleagues proved that a small dose of gold nanoparticles could be used to control the genes that are responsible for the supply of nutrients and oxygen to different types of cancer cells. The team also found out that [...]
