Urine doesn't belong on the floor, and it definitely doesn't belong on our clothes. An experimental new urinal design could help keep it from getting to those locations, by virtually eliminating the evils of "splashback."Continue ReadingCategory: Good Thinking, LifestyleTags: Urinals, Hygiene, Bathroom, University of Waterloo

"Killer paint" eradicates harmful bacteria on contact
Posted by ArielTechGeek 8 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
It's never a good thing when harmful bacteria are present on surfaces in hospitals, as they can cause life-threatening infections in already immunocompromised patients. A new paint could help keep that from happening, by quickly killing any microbes that land on it.Continue ReadingCategory: Infectious Diseases, Illnesses and conditions, Body & MindTags: University of Nottingham, Antibacterial
How do you build an AI translator to understand dolphinspeak?
Posted by ArielTechGeek 16 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Now this is the sort of application of AI that really intrigues me. Researchers have developed DolphinGemma, the first large language model (LLM) for understanding dolphin language. It could help us translate what these incredible creatures are saying, potentially much faster than we ever could with manual approaches used over several decades.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Google
Bacteria could fill cracks in bricks made from lunar soil on the Moon
Posted by ArielTechGeek 25 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
We're going to be on the Moon a lot more often soon, and that means we'll need places to rest, conduct research, and work there. Building habitats and maintaining them will be tough, but bacteria could come to the rescue by helping repair cracked bricks made from lunar soil.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: Bacteria, Moon, Lunar
New plastic dissolves in the ocean overnight, leaving no microplastics
Posted by ArielTechGeek 33 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Plastics are durable and strong, which is great while they’re being used but frustrating when they end up in the environment. Scientists at RIKEN in Japan have developed a new type of plastic that’s just as stable in everyday use but dissolves quickly in saltwater, leaving behind safe compounds.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: Plastic, Plastics, Ocean plastics, Plastic waste, Mic
