A new form of laboratory meat has been developed

14.03.2024

McMaster University scientists have introduced a new form of lab-grown meat using an innovative method designed to provide an alternative to traditional animal products with a high degree of similarity in texture and taste.

Ravi Selvaganapathy and Alireza Shaheen-Shamsabadi from the university's School of Bioengineering have developed a method for creating meat by forming thin leaves of cultured muscle and fat cells grown in a laboratory setting.

These leaves of living cells, comparable in thickness to regular paper, are first grown in test tubes and then concentrated onto growth plates, peeled off and stacked. The process of cell fusion occurs before they die.

Thanks to this technology, the harvesting of leaves allows the meat to be formed into pieces of varying thicknesses and filled with fat in the required proportions, which distinguishes this method from other alternatives.

Scientists were able to create a sample of meat from available mouse cell lines, and also prepare it for tasting. They claim that in appearance and taste this meat is no different from ordinary meat.

A McMaster University study breaks new ground in food production by offering a promising approach to creating lab-grown meat that could be an effective alternative to traditional protein sources.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Electronic helmet for truck drivers 14.04.2024

Road safety, especially for drivers of heavy construction equipment, is a top priority for engineers and scientists. In light of this, the German Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Strength and System Reliability has introduced a new product - an electronic helmet, which is designed to protect drivers from serious injury when driving construction vehicles. A new electronic helmet developed by a team of engineers from the Fraunhofer Institute opens up new perspectives for the safety of truck and construction equipment drivers. The device is capable of monitoring the level of shaking in the car cabin and warning the driver of possible danger. The basis of the helmet's operation is a built-in piezoelectric sensor, which generates electricity during physical deformation. This mechanism allows the device to respond to intense vibrations typical of construction equipment. When the level of deformation exceeds safe values, an alarm system is activated on the helmet, ... >>

Antivitamins instead of antibiotics 13.04.2024

The problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is becoming increasingly serious, posing a threat to the effective treatment of infections. In light of this, researchers are looking for new ways to combat superbugs. One of the promising directions is the use of antivitamins that can have an antibacterial effect. Antivitamins, although known as the opposite of vitamins, have proven to be a promising tool in the fight against bacterial antibiotic resistance. A study conducted by scientists from the University of Göttingen in Germany confirmed their potential in creating new drugs to combat dangerous infections. With the rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs, there is a need to find alternative treatments. Antivitamins are molecules similar to vitamins, but capable of inhibiting bacterial activity without harm to the human body. At the moment, science knows only three antivitamins: rose ... >>

FAST radio telescope will search for exoplanets with a magnetic field 17.07.2019

China's FAST telescope, the world's largest filled aperture radio telescope, will look for exoplanets up to XNUMX light-years from the Sun that have magnetic fields.

The FAST (Five hundred meter Aperture Spherical Telescope) telescope is located in the Chinese province of Guangzhou; it is the world's largest filled aperture radio telescope. FAST was launched in 2016, and in 2017 managed to discover two new pulsars.

Recently, experts have described a new task for FAST - the search for exoplanets in the radio range at frequencies above 70 megahertz. According to the researchers, a 500-meter radio telescope will look for planets that are up to a hundred light-years away from the Sun and have a magnetic field. Due to its high sensitivity, FAST is expected to be able to detect radiation produced by charged particles in the planet's magnetosphere and ionosphere or as part of the interaction of the latter with a satellite or star. As indicated, if the planet is Earth-like, the presence of a magnetic field can support the assumption of its possible habitability. The researchers note that if they succeed - using FAST - to register the radio emission of an exoplanet and confirm the presence of a magnetic field in it, this will be a very important discovery.

Most known exoplanets were discovered by the Kepler space telescope, which completed work last year. However, to replace it, NASA launched the TESS telescope, which has been searching for planets outside the solar system for a year now.
