California County Hopes Artificial Intelligence Can Mitigate Wildfire Risk At this time of year, periodic rain showers on the north coast of California give way to months of daily sunshine and a wildfire risk that grows in severity until the next fall rains arrive. In Sonoma County, a new set of eyes is watching over the forest. Those eyes will be able to tap into an artificial intelligence program to make sure emergency dispatchers are alerted to actual fires instead of mist rising off the forest floor or steam from the region’s numerous natural geysers. The county has entered into a $300,...

Technion scientists introduce stem-cell tissue regeneration technology to rebuild bone with fewer complications.

By Jon Schiller, ISRAEL21c While modern medicine has made leaps and bounds in the field of tissue and organ reconstruction over the years, it is still limited by one major drawback: Human beings don’t have spare parts. If a car-accident survivor needs a reconstructed jaw, for instance, surgeons must build it from a piece of the patient’s fibula bone and the surrounding soft tissue and blood vessels, in a procedure known as autografting. Autografting takes a heavy toll on the body and can often lead to medical complications. Prof. Shulamit Levenberg’s bioengineering team at the Technion-...

A Big Step Toward Creating the Next Generation of Rechargeable Batteries Written by AZoCleantechMay 7 2021 Researchers have taken a crucial stride toward making next-generation rechargeable batteries, which will substitute present energy storage technology if successful.

'Living' clothes: Soon, you may see apparels made of algae! By using 3D printers and novel bioprinting technique, researchers have printed ‘living’ materials which are tough, resilient and 100 per cent eco-friendly Amsterdam (Netherlands): For the first time, an international team of researchers from the University of Rochester and Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands used 3D printers and a novel bioprinting technique to print algae into living, photosynthetic materials that are tough and resilient. Living materials, which are made by housing biological cells within a n...
