Wearable zaps infections by targeting antibiotic-resistant bacteria
Posted by ArielTechGeek 6 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
As more bacteria that cause diseases become increasingly resistant to antibiotics, we need more ways to fight off infections. That's where this new patch comes in. With just a gentle electric zap, this bioelectronic wearable could prevent bacteria from doing a number on us through our skin.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical Innovations, Body & MindTags: Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, 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 ReadingCategory: Medical Devices, Medical Innovations, Body & MindTags: Chalmers University of Technology, Implant, Antibacterial, Gold

Homes could soon be quickly built by clay-shooting "impact printers"
Posted by ArielTechGeek 47 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
While clay is widely used to build basic structures such as huts, we typically don't see it being utilized in large-scale construction projects. That could soon change, however, thanks to a recently developed process known as impact printing.Continue ReadingCategory: Good Thinking, LifestyleTags: ETH Zurich, Building and Construction, Materials, Sustainable

Ribbontail rays produce their dazzling blue spots without pigments
Posted by ArielTechGeek 125 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
The Disney-esque hues on bluespotted ribbontail rays come from a unique arrangement of nanostructures, say researchers. The findings, along with those gleaned from studying blue sharks, could help lead to new chemical-free color techniques.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Animals, Color, camouflage, Ocean, Rays, Sharks, Nanoparticle, Nanoresearch, City University of Hong Kong
Work starts on first full-scale self-erecting wind turbine system
Posted by ArielTechGeek 125 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
The sheer size of today's wind turbines is mind-boggling – they're among the biggest machines humanity has ever built, and the bigger they get, the more potential value you can get by adding a little extra length to the blades.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Wind Power, Renewable Energy, Clean Energy, Wind turbine, Offshore Wind, Manufacturing Technologies
