New coating helps wipe grease off with water - Innovation- msnbc.com - 0 views

  •  
    A new eco-friendly coating is made by binding a water-loving molecule to a Teflon-like molecule that repels oil. This pairing makes for a surface that prevents oil from sticking to it, while also allowing it to be wet by water.

Leaves whisper their properties through ultrasound - 0 views

  •  
    "The water content of leaves, their thickness, their density and other properties can now be determined without even having to touch them. A team of researchers from the CSIC Institute of Acoustics and the Agri-Food Research and Technology Centre (CITA) of Aragón has just presented an innovative technique that enables plant leaves to be studied using ultrasound in a quick, simple and non-invasive fashion."

Minority rules: Scientists discover tipping point for the spread of ideas - 1 views

  •  
    ScienceDaily (July 26, 2011) - Scientists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have found that when just 10 percent of the population holds an unshakable belief, their belief will always be adopted by the majority of the society. The scientists, who are members of the Social Cognitive Networks Academic Research Center (SCNARC) at Rensselaer, used computational and analytical methods to discover the tipping point where a minority belief becomes the majority opinion. The finding has implications for the study and influence of societal interactions ranging from the spread of innovations to the movement of political ideals.

    "In einer Kammer, kaum mehr als zwei mal drei Meter groß, einer früheren Toilette, findet man Lisa Thalheims Labor. Ein paar Meter weiter schrauben andere an Fahrrädern, Lisa Thalheim ist hier aber einem genetischen Fingerabdruck auf der Spur. Das Stadtbad Wedding ist einer der ersten Orte in Deutschland, an dem Autodidakten wie sie ihrer Liebe zur Gentechnik nachgehen können. "Software des Lebens" "Eine große Zukunft für die Biotechnologie-Industrie", hat der in Amerika als Naturwissenschafts-Papst verehrte Freeman Dyson vor fünf Jahren in der New York Review of Books vorhergesagt. Wenn sie dem Weg der Computerindustrie folge, "wenn sie klein und häuslich wird, statt groß und zentralisiert." Das scheint nun zu geschehen."

Atmung: Implantat aus 3D-Drucker rettet Säugling das Leben - Golem.de - 0 views

  •  
    "Der Mediziner Glenn Green und der Maschinenbauer Scott Hollister erwirkten eine Notfallfreigabe ihrer noch unerprobten Technik bei der US-Aufsichtbehörde und entwickelten ein Implantat, das aus dem Polymer Polycaprolacton gefertigt wurde. Dieser Kunststoff wird vom Körper langsam abgebaut. Die Stützkonstruktion, die den Hauptbronchus auseinanderhält und sich dennoch bewegen und leicht dehnen lässt, soll sich innerhalb von ungefähr drei Jahren auflösen, damit das Wachstum des Kindes nicht behindert wird. Green und Hollister haben den Splint auf Basis einer Computertomographie des Kindes am Rechner konstruiert und dann mit Hilfe eines 3D-Druckers hergestellt. Der Splint, der wie eine längs aufgeschnittene Röhre aussieht, wurde Anfang Februar 2012 am C.S. Mott Children's Hospital mit Einwilligung der Eltern eingesetzt. Das Implantat bietet dem Bronchus eine Skelett-artige Stütze. Drei Wochen nach dem Eingriff konnte die Gerätebeatmung beendet werden. Auch ein Jahr nach dem Eingriff wurde eine normale Entwicklung der Luftröhre diagnostiziert."
