Test tube beef steak

11.11.2022

Scientists have grown a juicy steak from a cow's cage to cook it later

Scientists at Newcastle University subsidiary 3D Bio-Tissues (3DBT) have been working on creating the test tube steak. In the course of the study, scientists were able to grow three small prototype steaks that are in no way inferior to natural ones in appearance and smell, without using vegetable substitutes and without exterminating cows.

According to 3DBT Executive Director Che Connon, he and his team are very pleased with the results - the pieces of the grown fillet not only match the outwardly good juicy steak, but also have the necessary smell and characteristic crust during the preparation of meat.

To create their innovative development, scientists used the cells of living cows - the biomaterial is taken using a painless biopsy. As a result, scientists consider the fact that not a single cow was harmed during the study to be another achievement of theirs.

The cells are then placed in a special bioreactor and the chemical growth agent City-Mix is added to them. In this way, the number of cells can be increased. As soon as the number of cells reaches a certain volume, the prototype begins to resemble a real steak. According to Connon, the result exceeded all scientists' expectations in terms of integrity, aroma, texture and more.

British scientists hope that their test-tube steaks will soon be found on store shelves. They hope to produce the first large fillet prototype only in 6-8 months, and in 2023 they plan to launch the steaks into mass production.

A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

Stable nanographene magnet developed 22.11.2021

Researchers have synthesized for the first time a crystalline nanographene with magnetic properties that were theoretically predicted more than 70 years ago.

Since 2004, when graphene was produced in the lab, scientists have begun to study its impressive characteristics, including the unique magnetic and electronic properties of its zigzag edges. However, earlier, due to the complexity of studying these structures, the study and application of their features was practically impossible.

Now a team from Osaka University has been able to solve this problem with a simplified model system of a crystalline triangulene. To prevent polymerization of the material, Japanese scientists increased the volume of its molecules without losing its basic properties.

The resulting graphene was stable at room temperature, allowing them to study its optical and magnetic properties. As a result, scientists were able to confirm the presence in this form at the zigzag edges of unpaired electrons, which determine the triplet state of the molecules.

Despite the stability of the material, it must be stored in an inert atmosphere, as it is prone to gradual decomposition under the influence of oxygen.

Further, the specialists plan to improve the synthesis technology to start the production of magnetic nanographene. In the future, silicon-based materials may replace silicon in electronic devices.
