Little golden rods may prevent implant infections by cooking bacteria

When someone receives an implant such as an artificial hip, there’s a real risk of an infection occurring at the implant site. According to a new study, however, a covering of bacteria-frying gold nanorods could keep that from happening.Continue Readin… Continue reading Little golden rods may prevent implant infections by cooking bacteria

Plant oils should replace butter, and this comprehensive study confirms it

While there has been a general consensus that olive oil and other plant-based fats are healthier than butter, scientists have now comprehensively put it beyond doubt, combining a number of diet-intervention studies and previous cohort research that all… Continue reading Plant oils should replace butter, and this comprehensive study confirms it

Video: Huge, lightweight truck bumpers reduce crash deaths by up to 60%

A new Swedish-designed front end for transport trucks could help reduce driver deaths in collisions with passenger cars. The structure is designed to both spread and absorb the force of impact between the two vehicles.Continue ReadingCategory: Automoti… Continue reading Video: Huge, lightweight truck bumpers reduce crash deaths by up to 60%

Electrical stimulation heals diabetic wounds three times faster

In diabetics, wounds tend to progress quickly and heal slowly. Researchers have developed a method that uses electricity to heal diabetic wounds three times faster and offers great potential for treating those with diseases that lead to reduced wound h… Continue reading Electrical stimulation heals diabetic wounds three times faster

Wood-derived powder could remove dye from textile industry wastewater

In countries such as India, a great deal of toxic dye waste from the textile industry is released directly into waterways, potentially harming people and the environment. A new filtration media could remove much of that dye from wastewater streams – an… Continue reading Wood-derived powder could remove dye from textile industry wastewater

Peptide spray kills bacteria in wounds without using antibiotics

It’s always good if the use of antibiotics can be avoided, to keep harmful bacteria from developing a resistance to them. A new wound-treatment spray could help, as it kills bacteria using peptides that occur naturally in our bodies – no antibiotics re… Continue reading Peptide spray kills bacteria in wounds without using antibiotics

Record-breaking chip can transmit entire internet’s traffic per second

A new photonic chip design has achieved a world record data transmission speed of 1.84 petabits per second

The speed record for data transmission using a single light source and optical chip has been shattered once again. Engineers have transmitted data at a blistering rate of 1.84 petabits per second (Pbit/s), almost twice the global internet traffic per second.
