Pentagon is Funding Ultrasound Devices That Prevent Tissue Death After Spinal Cord Injuries
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
This is an impressive project. Understand that during surgery, it is completely common to cut nerves that then fail to ever heal. Sugeons do their best to avoid this happening but it certainly happens. Thus a device that supports such an injury in such a way that healing becomes possible is to be hoped for. Military applications are obvious of course. what i am saying is that problem goes far beyond the obvious. We have been promised the Med Bed, but this work does tackle one of the BIG problems. *Pentagon is Funding Ultrasound Devices That Prevent Tissue Death After Spinal...

Food Shortages Hit China: There Is “not…enough fresh food to go around”
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
Food reserves are much greater than understood. with a price premium, those reserves are flowing into the market. Yet this is because we have a major shortfall developing in China. Otherwise we have a full harvest in Canada. This holds true most everywhere. We do need the farm workers to be fully back in play as well. This allows a full harvest for vegetables et all. Yet the short fall there is limited and easily recovered. At most stored processed foods have also been depleted. At this point the damage is complete. Cleanup and recovery is underway.. *Food Shortages H...
Scientists Create Transparent Wood Nearly As Clear as Glass To Make Stronger, Better Insulating Windows
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
The binder PVA happens to be excellent to work with as well. This strongly suggests that costs can also be driven down easily. Glass suffers from the fact that it must become molten. This costs a lot of energy. The density will be at least half that of glass and the strength will be also much greater. This should revolutionize the whole window business in particular. We will have an issue with ultraviole radiation, but that can be worked with. It is plausible to frame a single pane glass window while adding an additional insert pane to provide insulattion and easy replacibil...
