Among all the most unusual creatures on planet Earth, many scientists are very interested in such a creature as a gecko – mainly due to its unique ability to cling to almost any surface and material with the help of its highly adhesive limbs having a special chemical composition. Thus, geckos can actually climb the […]
Found in large quantities inside shells of various crustaceans, chitin is a rather promising polymer compound that can be used in the widest field of human activity – for example, early studies have indicated that chitin can be used as the basis for self-healing automotive paint, medical new type patches and biodegradable food wrappers. However, […]
Amazon is actively helping the global community develop and release new protective masks and screens designed to protect against a new type of coronavirus. And today it became known that the responsible Amazon team, which is engaged in the development of such protective equipment, has released a new type of protective front screens with a […]
Standard medical treatment for one disease can often lead to the possibility of a cure for another, as many scientists have repeatedly been convinced of earlier. And today, a team of specialists from the National Institute of Aging in the USA presented a new stage in testing a rather popular medicine for excessive alcohol consumption […]
The use of 3D printers has long been not limited to various experimental laboratory projects – they are becoming more and more closely involved in tandem with modern methods of construction, decoration and many other areas. Nevertheless, most of these printers can print only relatively small figures and products, which implies the need to focus […]
The need to develop and test more and more new and effective diagnostic tests for a new type of coronavirus is higher than ever – especially for the US population, which continues to experience a fairly large increase in the number of infected people. Some time ago, microbiologists from the private Rutgers laboratory in the […]
Despite the fact that while scientists still find it difficult to answer the question of what exactly triggers the neurodegenerative process in the case of diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease, still the presence of a large number of so-called amyloid dies in the brain of patients is considered something like the main marker […]
Today, a joint team of researchers in the field of material engineering from the University of Tokyo and Carnegie Mellon University presented a very unusual development devoted to the possibility of creating a special polymer material with self-healing properties. It is worth noting that earlier other teams conducted similar studies with certain positive results, however, […]
Fitbit, very famous and popular for its portable wrist-based health tracking devices and trackers, today released quite encouraging news that it intends to soon release its own version of the artificial respiration apparatus, which will be used mainly in large medical centers in the United States and the rest of the world , and which […]
Exoskeletons show great promise, both to increase the abilities and capabilities of the able-bodied user, and for the rehabilitation of disabled people. However, they also tend to be stiff fixtures that are not particularly comfortable (or lightweight) to wear. Researchers at the Wiss Institute at Harvard University recently demonstrated what they hope is a more […]
