Researchers have found a surprisingly simple way to build cryogenic coolers that reach near-absolute zero up to 3.5 times faster, or using about 71% less energy, than current gear. That's big news for anything requiring seriously low temperatures.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: NIST, Cryogenics, Cooling
Downing a freshly brewed cup of coffee in the morning can be vital for facing the day ahead, but what if you had to wait up to a day to get your caffeine hit? That's on the menu if you like your Joe brewed cold, but researchers have now managed to cold brew in minutes thanks to ultrasound.Continue ReadingCategory: Around The Home, LifestyleTags: University of Queensland, University of New South W
Using a cold plasma jet to activate hydrogel, researchers have created a dressing with antibacterial and wound-healing properties. The technology could be used as an alternative to current treatments that rely on antibiotics to treat chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Hydrogels, Plasma, Dressings, Wound, University of South Australia

It’s a basic fact that temperatures drop at night, and that can damage crops, equipment and infrastructure. A team of scientists has created a new film that selectively absorbs and reflects different wavelengths of infrared light to efficiently keep objects warm.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: Warming, Temperature, Thin Film, Heating, Chinese Academy of Sciences
stone island’s thermal-reactive poly strata ice jacket switches color as pigments micro-encapsulated in the double layer of polyurethane get triggered. The post stone island’s thermal-reactive ice jacket slowly changes its color from hot pink to cold white appeared first on designboom | architecture & design magazine.
when ice-cold beer cans are placed in the pockets of the TIGER summer puffer jacket, they chill the network of tubes with water which lowers the body temperature. The post what heatwave? TIGER summer puffer jacket uses cold beer to cool down body temperature appeared first on designboom | architecture & design magazine.
Adding weight to the large body of scientific evidence showing that phenylephrine is as useless as a placebo for nasal congestion, a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel has unanimously declared common oral medications ineffective. It paves the way for these products to be taken off shelves and reformulated.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: FDA, Influenza, Drugs, Tra
