Genetic Changes in Rat Brains Found with Persistent Exposure to Air Pollution
Featured

A Cedars-Sinai study has found the presence of cancer-related genes and inflammation triggered in the brains of rats due to extended exposure to air pollution particles in the Los Angeles Basin. The medical center’s Nanomedicine Research Center director, Julia Ljubimova, MD, PhD pointed out the role of nickel or certain other coarse air pollution materials in genetic changes associated with disease development. The study actually found markers that indicated their

Why Additive Manufacturing can be Dangerous

While we are now familiar with the use of additive manufacturing in the medical sector where they’re used extensively for prosthetic arms and others, the latest is the use of 3D printing or additive manufacturing in manufacturing weapons. One of the research paper has said that additive manufacturing can be used by violent extremists, military groceries, and street criminals who are producing their own weapons for sale and for use.

Blockchain, which is behind the success of virtual currencies such as Bitcoin has the potential to disrupt the global finance sector, as per expose. While banks may try to reduce their cost, it is a customer who will benefit from cheaper and quicker services. Every new technology results in a situation where some stand to lose and others stand to win and blockchain is no different. Blockchain technology can result

Research Shows How to Build Better Beta Peptides Creating New Biomaterials
Featured

0

Researchers have brought to light probably for the first time the possibility of attaching self-assembling beta peptides onto dissimilar organic molecules. Posing challenges to bioengineers earlier, some molecules could now be put to use to create new varieties of materials. This research has been put out in the journal APL Bioengineering. Including a scaffold that could bear the growth of nerve cells, a range of beta-foldamers was aimed to prepare

Boon for Big Data: Researchers Develop HyperTools to Visualize Dataset
Featured

Come to think of it visually, every collection of data represents a fundamental shape or geometry. However, those structures can be radically complicated. To simplify this requirement to understand a dataset better, researchers at the Dartmouth College have developed an open-source software program called HyperTools. Leveraging mathematical technologies to formulate intuitions regarding the dimensions of a dataset, HyperTools has shown the capability to create geometric structures that they are reflecting.

MIT Researchers Develop MapLite, Enabling Self-driving Cars to Drive on Roads Untravelled

The recent car fatality by self-driving uber has underlined the fact that this technology is not hit up to the mark and feasible for widespread adoption. One of the reasons is there are not many places where self-driving cars can actually drive. Google and other companies have only tested their self-driving cars in major cities where they have spent tedious time ensuring that every lane, off-ramp, curbs, and stop signs

Thin Smart Patch, Similar to Marine Skin Can Now Track and Monitor Behaviour of Marine Animals

In order to study the behaviour of marine animals, a smart patch called marine skin can be used. This thing Marine skin can be turned on a wide range of sea creatures in order to study the behaviour and is based on stretchable silicone elastomers which can be subjected to sharing, stretching, and twisting without getting affected. The Marine skin does not get affected even when exposed to high pressures

Time Crystals Found by Physicists at Yale

Physicists at Yale have discovered time crystals, which is a form of matter that takes when it is exposed to the pulses of electromagnetic waves. The discovery has led to several questions which need to be answered such as How are time crystals formed in the first place? Time crystals atoms spin periodically in One Direction and then in another due to a pulsating force which flips them and this

Researchers Build Metamaterial that is Tuned Dynamically by Light

The researchers at Duke University have found out a way that can improve security scanners by new types of visual displays, and they have achieved so by building the first-ever then metal-free , dynamically tunable metamaterial which is metal free for controlling electromagnetic waves. A metamaterial is nothing but an artificial material which manipulates electromagnetic waves such as sound or light true properties of its structure and not chemistry. The

Lipid Accumulation in Brain Could Hint Parkinson’s Disease

Researchers at the McLean Hospital, and Oxford University have found that early sign of Parkinson’s disease can be detected through elevated levels of lipids in the brain. This finding is extremely important for those people who might be at the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease and can allow for early treatment of the disease and might even prevent the person from getting Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease is characterized by the
