After the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for more effective oxygen concentrators is likely to be inclined in the upcoming years. A team of engineers at Texas AM University created the computational framework to buildan ideal concentrator for the purification of air and production of improved quality of oxygen as per the patients demand.
Dr.Faruque Hasan, an Associate Professor, stated that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the medical and pharmaceutical sectors were under major stress. The hospit
Oceans are considered to be a mysterious place, as this immersed ecosystem is a residence for several fascinating species that are still unidentifiable. One of the species with intriguing features is adeep-sea sponge that cansecrete an excellent but relatively complex glass-like skeletal structure.These glass structuresseem to be beneficial in creatingdamage-resistantships, planes, and skyscrapers.
Euplectella aspergillum, commonly known as Venus Flower Basket,is comprised of a highlycomplex
Owing to the rising health concerns and the increasing risk of cardiac problems, people across the world have restricted the consumption of oily and fat-loaded foods. A group of researchers has fabricated a degradable polymer layer that can resist the seepage of fatty acids and could lead to new biodegradable, paper-based covering. The researchers employed a traditional yet less renowned free radical polymerization approach for developing the sheet of polymers. The team began an investigation
The crucial enzyme of the innate immune system, APOBEC3A,is responsiblefor protecting cells from numerous types of viral infections. The enzymeinduces mutations that combat the viruses fromreplication. Moreover,the protein targets the tumor-causing cells by attacking their genomes, thereby combating cancer proliferation.
According to Rmi Buisson, who is an assistant professor at the University of California,APOBEC3A-induced DNA alterations are quite common in cancer patients. Indeed, the tea
Lightweight construction has been gaining substantial fame for the past few years. The technology involves alteration in a design in such a manner that the weight poses a negligible impact on the functionality of the structure. One main objective behind launching this construction approach is to raise the loading capacity of a vehicle without adding up its dead weight. Through this technique, the safety, comfort, and assistance system of the vehicle would not be compromised. From a technologic
Have you ever wondered what if you can use a material over and over without deteriorating its original performance? The phase transformation approach has made it possible. This is considered as one of the most crucial and distinctive features as the materials ability to transform into different phases and holding its properties. In the recent theory research, the researchers have accomplished success in developing reversible phase batteries with an additional stretch to their structure. This p
A team of engineers at Purdue University has created a novel technique aimed to upgrade optical digital storage technology. This development would enable the devices to store and read more data in a limited time. The information regarding this development has been published in the bimonthly peer-reviewed journal Laser Photonics Reviews.
Instead of employing conventional approaches, which used dashes and dots, the Purdue researchers encoded the data at an angular position of the small, tilte
Soil health has been considered a crucial factor in determining crop yield. The major concern for many farmers and researchers is that no such commercial and straightforward technique has been available so far. But now, with the assistance of farmersextensive agricultural knowledge, a team of researchers has developed a noveltechnique by deeply understanding the physical and chemical properties of the fertile land.

Nanotechnology has been burgeoning for the past several years, as it plays a crucial role in promoting crop yield and generates huge profits.Technology is being extensively employed in almost every field such as medicine, consumer products, and of course agriculture.The nanoparticles derived through nanotechnology significantly augment the crop yield through accumulation in the soil. Moreover, the antimicrobial characteristics of nanoparticles help to prevent plants from pathogenic microorgani
The U.S. Army Research Laboratory have recently underlined their research with attempts to quantify in larger measure with the integration of additional sensors and enhanced communication tools in order to provide lightweight tools and portable power solutions that have now become more challenging. This new format of research has demonstrated a new approach for turning thermal energy into electric energy using a method that is more compact and effective than its current format of production. T
