3D printing just keeps getting bigger and better. The latest prototype creates a cast by combining 3D printing and ultrasound pulses. This does not only make the cast comfortable to wear with plenty of space for air but it also looks cool. Most important of all, the cast catalyzes the process of healing! What gives the cast the ultra-speed recovering properties is the incorporation of Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound (LIPUS) that is known to speed up regrowth of bones. Designer of the latest prototype, Deniz Karasahin is positive about the prospects of his new design and believes it will go a long way.

Rodrigo García González has been working on the Ooho water bottle for the past few years. The bottle is made out of edible materials, looks like a jellyfish, and has the potential to put an end to the bottled water industry.
Inspired by the juice-filled pearls added to bubble tea and the mad-cuisine creations of chef Ferran Adriá, who uses a technique known as sheperification (encasing liquid into edible membranes), García is on his way to revolutionising the bottled water industry.

Losing a loved one to something as virulent as cancer is devastating. A number of methods have been employed to combat this deadly disease in the past. Researchers at Karolinska Institute of Stockholm in Sweden now present a fresh method that leads to the explosion of cancer cells altogether. This was made possible by a new molecule that brings about this explosion. The outcome of this experiment has been so encouraging that it was published in a science journal, Cell.

Technology seems to be making life a whole lot easier for the likes of doctors and scientists, alike. Now surgeons can benefit from 3D images showing the insides of human arteries and veins from more than one direction. All thanks to a 1.5mm snapper that can boast up to 60 frames each second. The man behind this piece of technology, Professor F. Levent Degertekin, designed this with the purpose of putting a bigger picture of the internals of blood vessels on view for doctors. For this reason, he attached a tiny 20MHz ultrasonic transducer at the end of a piece of wire.

3D printing has hit the home run with yet another medical breakthrough. This time around scientists have discovered a way to keep the heart up and running perpetually. A 3D printed electronic membrane performs the magic for this to accomplish. As an alternative to most pacemakers out there, the 3D printed electronic glove is fit over the heart in order to get the job done. Let us shed some light on how this revolutionary idea was translated into reality.

What happens when you are clueless about how to answer science questions given to you as part of your homework? You would normally seek your mom’s or dad’s help, right? Well, those are methods of the past now. Lucas Whiteley, a 4 year old from England, tried a different route and derived great satisfaction from the outcome. Why seek mom’s or dad’s help when NASA can prove generous dollying out help on its own?

The days when solid, liquid and gas were the only three states of matter were over when newer states such as plasma and superficial fluid were discovered. It seems like science students will be updating their course notes in the near future, thanks to the discovery of a yet another state of matter. Say hello to Dropleton which comes across as a new sort of puny particle that may possess the postulates of the liquid state of matter.

If you thought primary thyroid cancer was deadlier than secondary thyroid cancer, think again. It might sound like it, but the latest study shows that the latter can prove much more lethal especially in case of adolescents. Published in a journal by the name CANCER, the study reports that adolescents and young adults with secondary thyroid cancer have 6 times more chances of death than those who suffer from primary thyroid cancer. What makes this even remotely possible and what measures must be taken to avoid such occurrences?

The foremost way of treating a gunshot wound on a battlefield has been to pack it with gauze. Understandably, soldiers on the battlefield realize the importance of this more than anyone else. However, the process requires urgency since there needs to enough pressure exerted on the gunshot wound to stop the bleeding. Otherwise, excessive bleeding can cause hemorrhage and death, as a result. In a crucial moment such as this, packing the wound with gauze can not only take time but cause more pain. RevMedx has come up with just the right remedy in ‘XStat’ that replaces the old-time gauze.

3D printers have shown enormous potential in the recent past and they continue to impress. While these machines have proved to be a combination of art and building tools for home-owners, they have also largely benefited people in the commercial sector. Yet another exciting prospect of 3D printers has just been exploited and Honda seems to be backing the concept. That’s right, folks. Honda has offered 3D printing material for a total of five concept cars. Acura NSX is part of the package, ofcourse.

There is no denying that most functions performed in the modern day readily employ the use of machines. This has reduced inefficiency, waste and the overdependence on labour. However, construction is something that remains labour-intensive and hazardous all the same. Naturally, the entire society suffers as a consequence of these costs. However, Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis and researchers at University of Southern California claim to have come up with a viable alternate to conventional construction methods. Benefitting largely from advanced technology, now a new giant 3D printer can build a house in 24 hours! Let us dive into the details.

We have all known cancer to be a seriously deadly disease. However, what makes cancer deadlier is the spread of the primary tumour. Primary tumours can be treated using radiation or surgery but they make life a lot tougher if they remain untreated and migrate to a healthy tissue. Finding them is rather improbable, let alone killing them. It seems like this trend is about to change, though. Provided that the research by Micheal King and others at Cornell University lives up to its expectations, there would be every reason to believe Nanoparticles cause cancer cells to die and stop spreading.

Open-source NT-clone ReactOS is being spun off into a commercial project, pending the success of a new Kickstarter campaign. Thorium Core is pitched as a way to operate a Windows-compatible cloud desktop without the added cost of the "Windows tax," provide revenue to the ReactOS project for development, and feed the base project with improvements from the commercial side.

Are you are one of those folks who could kill for a cup of tea (not literally, ofcourse)? Does the idea of having your hot cup of tea ready for a sip sound as soothing as the aromatic beverage itself? If so, you may well be intrigued by the fact that advancements in science, courtesy of efforts by German researchers from the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) Center for Free-Electron Laser Science, have now made it possible to boil water in less than 1/1000000000 of a second. For those of you who would prefer prefixes, that is even lesser than trillionth of a second!
