The device combines flexible electronics and human stem cells – the body’s ‘reprogrammable’ master cells – to better integrate with the nerve and drive limb function. Credit: University of Cambridge Researchers have developed a new type of neural implant that could restore limb function to amputees and others who have lost the use of their arms or legs. In a study carried out in rats, researchers from the  University of Cambridge  used the device to improve the connection between the brain and paralyzed limbs. The device combines flexible electronics and human stem cells – the body’s ‘reprogrammable’ master cells – to better integrate with the nerve and drive limb function. Previous attempts at using neural implants to restore limb function have mostly failed, as scar tissue tends to f...

  A dusty lunar landscape, as envisioned by NASA’s Advanced Concepts Laboratory. Credit: NASA On a cold winter day, the warmth of the sun is welcome. Yet as humanity emits more and more greenhouse gases, the Earth’satmosphere traps more and more of the sun’s energy and steadily increases the Earth’s temperature. One strategy for reversing this trend is to intercept a fraction of sunlight before it reaches our planet. For decades, scientists have considered using screens, objects, or dust particles to block just enough of the sun’s radiation—between 1 or 2%—to mitigate the effects of global warming. A University of Utah-led study explored the potential of using dust to shield sunlight. They analyzed different properties of dust particles, quantities of dust, and the orbits that would be best suited for shading Earth. The authors found that launching dust from Earth to a way station at the “Lagrange Point” between Earth and the sun (L1) would be most effective but would require astro...

  GSOWIFBBSOWOFI3723958 New research published in the European Heart Journal has debunked the “obesity paradox,” which suggested that overweight or obese heart failure patients had a lower risk of hospitalization or death compared to those with normal weight. The study found that using waist-to-height ratio measurements instead of body mass index (BMI) eliminates the perceived survival advantage for individuals with a BMI of 25kg/m 2  or more. Study shows ‘obesity paradox’ does not exist: waist-to-height ratio is a better indicator of outcomes in patients with heart failure than BMI. New research has debunked the idea that there is an “obesity paradox,” whereby patients with heart failure who are overweight or obese are thought to be less likely to end up in the hospital or die than people of normal weight. The study, which was published in the  European Heart Journal [1]  on March 22, shows that if doctors measure the ratio of waist to height of their patients, rath...

NASA launched its annual images of the planet Saturn taken by the Hubble House Telescope Thursday, giving the residents of earth an replace on what's been occurring over on the photo voltaic system's sixth planet. The picture above consists of some spectacular element within the planet's iconic rings the place there are dozens of seen striations that circle round, in addition to an up to date have a look at the ambiance with its gaseous bands and protracted hexagonal sample on the north pole. The way in which the planet was tilted towards the telescope made for fairly the shot. Together with that picture, NASA launched a few brief movies, together with this one which goes into extra element about what the photographs present us. The video exhibits that there was a big storm seen in 2018's picture of Saturn that has since abated. A second video combines 33 pictures of Saturn taken over an 18-hour interval, which exhibits a handful of the planet's dozens of moons in ...

When Zoe Murray acquired pregnant as a 20-year-old sophomore on the College of California, Santa Barbara, she knew she wished an abortion. So she went to her pupil well being heart, the place she went for nearly each different well being drawback. The nurses there couldn't assist her.

Now, after years of activism by college students like Murray, the California state legislature accepted a invoi...

When Netflix launched a trailer for its new unique movie Tall Woman on the finish of August, Twitter had a field day (because it's wont to do). Customers throughout the location took sides: shut down, vehemently defend, or try and see some semblance of worth within the movie.
