“From this work it appears that cisplatin is a promising lead compound for the rational design of ALS treatments,” A long-used anti-cancer drug could be a starting point to develop new treatments for the incurable nerve disease known as Lou Gehrig’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), scientists are reporting. Their research showing how the

DGIST announced on Tuesday, July 16 that Senior Researcher Dae-gun Oh’s team in the Collaborative Robots Research Center developed a radar system that can detect subminiature drones that are 3km away. This research is expected to make huge contributions to strengthening domestic industries and defense capabilities by securing a world-class radar sensing technology. As a

The sensor could monitor and wirelessly transmit data regarding load, strain, motion, temperature, and pressure In order to determine how a patient is recovering from orthopedic surgery, doctors must presently rely on technologies such as X-rays or MRIs. Before too long, however, they may instead simply be able to read the output from tiny sensors,

Asier Marzo has worked with the professor at the University of Bristol Bruce Drinkwater on this technology that could be used for surgical operations without incisions Asier Marzo-Pérez, researcher at the Public University of Navarre (NUP/UPNA), and Bruce Drinkwater, lecturer at the University of Bristol (United Kingdom), have for the first time achieved the acoustic

Compared to today’s electric vehicle chargers, they have managed to shorten the charging time from eight to two hours, and to reduce the cost by around $2,000 Researchers at Chalmers have developed a unique integrated motor drive and battery charger for electric vehicles. Compared to today’s electric vehicle chargers, they have managed to shorten the

Right now, cloning is not a viable conservation strategy. But some researchers remain optimistic that it will help threatened species in the future In 2009 the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corp. (Embrapa) and the Brasilia Zoological Garden began scavenging and freezing blood, sperm and umbilical cord cells from roadkill and other wild animals that had died, mostly in

Tübingen researchers ask: do herbicides alter ecosystems around the world? Scant research makes it hard to prove. The number of humans on the planet has almost doubled in the past 50 years ? and so has global food production. As a result, the use of pesticides and their effect on humans, animals and plants have

Wichita State University‘s Li Yao is taking a special approach to the study of spinal cord injuries through research that uses an electrical signal to repair tissue damage. When a person suffers neurological damage to their spinal cord, the tissues surrounding the injury site can die. But one of the body’s defense mechanisms is the

Invention gives amputee more control and creativity Professor Gil Weinberg has already built a band of robotic musicians in his Georgia Tech lab. Now he’s created a robot that can be attached to amputees, allowing its technology to be embedded into humans. The robotic drumming prosthesis has motors that power two drumsticks. The first stick is controlled
