Chemical heat "battery" releases energy in response to light

diminishing the number of charge/discharge cycles that the battery can go through – this reportedly isnt a problem with the gas electrolyte.

 Animal silks offer exceptional mechanical and biological properties and versatile manufacturing possibilities to assist the re-engineering of tissue.It combines material produced by silkworms (Bombyx mori) and silk fibers from golden orb-web spiders (Trichonephila edulis).

the researchers hope to develop the silk nerve guides into an off-the-shelf solution to treat nerve injuries in humans.Natural materialsNatural materials are ideal for use as nerve guides as they degrade over time and produce hardly any immune response in animal models.Newrotex is currently completing final pre-clinical studies of the new material with the aim of bringing a functional device suitable for humans to the market.

Current solutions see nerve injuries with large gaps treated by grafting nerves harvested from other areas of the patients body.This study provides further evidence of the incredible regenerative properties of silk within the nervous system and demonstrates its exciting utility and potential as a material to address the unmet clinical need for an off-the-shelf technology to treat nerve injuries.

Nerve guides made of natural or synthetic materials are often used as surgical tools for nerve repair.

They can only be used to bridge very small distances due to a lack of an appropriate structure along which the regenerating tissue can orient itself and growTheres a melancholy around the grounds.

Dwindling numbers meant that genetic variability -- necessary for sustaining large populations with diverse genes -- had largely diminished.but even after Sudan is buried at the conservancy.

isnt relying upon IVF technology -- which involves fertilizing an egg in a lab and then inserting the small embryo into a female rhino -- to be the savior of any rhino species.now only have to keep watch over two northern white rhinos -- and their much sought-after horns.
