There’s no underselling the role antibiotics has had on our lives; when widespread use of penicillin ushered in the ‘golden age’ of antibiotics after World War II, and discovery of many new antibiotics, the infectious diseases that used to be massive k… Continue reading A gold pill could be our superbug secret weapon
Electroplating is a great way to add strength or shine to a 3D print. However, we don’t see too many people trying it with gold. [HEN3DRIK] isn’t afraid to experiment, …read more Continue reading Making The One Ring By Electroplating Gold On A 3D Print
While anti-fog sprays work to a certain extent, warming a glass surface is a better way of keeping it fog-free. A new coating material is designed to do so, and it utilizes light-absorbing gold nanoparticles instead of electricity.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Gold nano-coating works like an anti-fog heating element for glasses
Brain cancer is one of the most insidious forms of the disease, but researchers at Stanford have now developed a wireless device that could help improve survival times. When implanted between the skin and skull, the remotely activated device heats up g… Continue reading Infrared implant between skin and skull helps kill brain cancer
Discarded electronics can be a gold mine – literally. Researchers have developed an efficient new way to use graphene to recover gold from electronic waste, without needing any other chemicals or energy.Continue ReadingCategory: TechnologyTags: Waste, … Continue reading Graphene efficiently recovers gold from waste electronics
CDs are becoming largely obsolete now, thanks to the speed of the internet and the reliability and low costs of other storage media. To help keep all of this plastic …read more Continue reading Scavenging CDs For Flexible Parts
Drug resistance is an increasing problem in bacterial infections, but a new study may have uncovered a way to reinvigorate old antibiotics. Scientists have wrapped gold nanoparticles in molecules that seek out bacteria and disrupt their cell membranes,… Continue reading Gold nanoclusters make old antibiotics effective against superbugs again
Currently, if you wish to track the electrical activity of someone’s muscles, you have stick electrodes onto their skin. An experimental new technology, however, simply utilizes conductive fabric that’s incorporated into washable pieces of clothing.Con… Continue reading Washable conductive clothing monitors muscle activity
Electronic waste (or e-waste) is not only a major pollutant in landfill, but huge amounts of useful resources are being thrown away. Engineers at Rice University have now shown that precious metals and rare earth minerals can be recovered by flash-heat… Continue reading Flash-heating efficiently recycles precious metals from e-waste
One hurdle standing in the way of a transition to renewable energy is the increased need for mining that these technologies bring. Now, Oxford scientists are investigating a new way to mine valuable metals trapped in hot brines beneath volcanoes – with… Continue reading Volcanic brine mines could be green sources of copper, gold and lithium
