It’s an unfortunate fact that people with severe respiratory illnesses are often confined to hospitals, where they must breathe through ventilators. A new portable device that harvests oxygen from the air, however, may someday allow them to stay at hom… Continue reading Ventibag home-use “smart” ventilator harvests oxygen from the air
If there are two things that are essential to human life, they’re water and oxygen – neither of which are easily available on the moon. Thanks to a new technique, though, astronauts may someday be able to harvest those elements from lunar soil.Continue… Continue reading Future astronauts may be able to pull water and oxygen from lunar soil
We are delighted to introduce the latest major update of our flagship product, Oxygen Forensic® Detective! Version 14.0 offers numerous innovations and enhancements that will make your job easier, cut backlogs, and allow access to previously unavailabl… Continue reading Oxygen Forensic Detective 14.0 Gives Investigators Access To More Data With The Latest Update
Diabetic skin ulcers often take a long time to heal, sometimes even leading to complications that result in amputation. A new hydrogel is designed to help keep that from happening, by delivering oxygen directly to such wounds.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading Hydrogel produces oxygen to help heal chronic wounds
A lot of projects we feature on these pages are of the “one and done” variety — tactical builds that serve a specific purpose with little need for further development. …read more Continue reading Design Improvements Make DIY Oxygen Concentrator Even Better
Most of us have at some point in our busy lives wished there were more hours in the day. That wish actually came true billions of years ago as the Earth’s rotation slowed down – and now a new study hypothesizes that this is why we have so much oxygen n… Continue reading How the Moon, microbes and longer days may have given us more oxygen
New research published in the journal PLOS Biology is describing the discovery of a link between cognitive decline and a protein in red blood cells. The research found mice depleted of this protein suffered from rapid cognitive decline, and a potential… Continue reading Age-related cognitive decline may be linked to key blood cell protein
Some of the most devastating health effects of a stroke or heart attack are caused by oxygen deprivation in the brain. Now, researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) have identified an enzyme that may naturally protect the brain from oxygen d… Continue reading New potential drug target may protect brain against low oxygen damage
Scientists have made the surprising discovery that some mammals can absorb oxygen through their intestines. The team experimented by administering oxygen enemas in a gas or liquid form to mice, rats and pigs, and found that they could survive much long… Continue reading Emergency oxygen enemas could help us “breathe” through our intestines
Back at the start of the pandemic, a variety of hacker designs for life-saving machinery may have pushed the boundaries of patient safety. There are good reasons that a ventilator …read more Continue reading Building An Oxygen Concentrator: It Isn’t Rocket Science
