Scientists from the IPE-Polus company demonstrated their newly-developed precision laser scalpel at one of the company's research laboratories near Moscow, which could revolutionize surgeries. Made of quartz and up to four times cheaper than most analogues, the scalpel can be used to treat medical conditions including gallstones.
Scientists from the Russian city of Obninsk have developed a life-saving new blood substitute called "Krunidon", which has the potential to substitute any blood type, regardless of the rhesus factor. Blood transfusions can be complicated because some people's body reject blood from certain types, and not all blood types are always available on hand to help people in need. Scientists say Krunidon is completely free from infections typically found in human donor blood and can be used as a transfusion for any blood type. The substitute is capable of carrying oxygen to tissues and stimulating blood formation in case of blood loss or reduction of blood supply. The new substitute is going to be used in military medicine and is highly demanded by the Russian Ministry of Defence. The medicine is currently being tested according to the rigorous requirements of the Russian military and may become the standard by the end of 2017. Of course, Krunidon has many potential life-saving civilian applications as well.
Scientists at Stanford University have developed a material that can help the skin stay cooler than conventional fabrics.
San José, Jan 26. (EFE) (CAMERA: María José Brenes) .- Costa Rican scientists develop a saliva test to detect COVID-19.
Scientists have discovered the largest species that has the ability to regrow limbs. According to Business Insider, it's the alligator. Like lizards, young American gators can regrow their tails up to 9 inches. Prof. Kenro Kusumi is a co-senior study author and the director of Arizona State University's School of Life Sciences. Kusumi began studying gator regrowth after receiving a package in the mail that contained a deformed alligator tail in a pickle jar with ethanol. The tail was discolored, forked, and the scales were smaller than normal. Kusumi realized that the tail looked like it had been regrown.
Jaguar Land Rover is taking part in pioneering research trials to test the capability of advanced lightweight metals and composites to be used in future vehicles.As part of a two-year project, the company will use technology developed for the aerospace industry to understand how materials respond to corrosive environments, in global markets and over rigorous terrains.Samples of new metals and composites planned for use in future Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles will be built into aerospace-grade sensors and put through their paces in some of the world’s most extreme physical conditions, tested for over 400,000km across North America.The sensors will continuously measure the performance of the materials and share data with the Jaguar Land Rover’s product development team in the UK. With this information, the engineers can accurately forecast the material’s behaviour in the development of future vehicle programmes to ensure that next-generation lightweight metals meet the company’s stringent standards, delivering a longer-lasting, high quality finish.
