#Laser device may soon non-invasively monitor diabetics'glucose levels In order to monitor their blood glucose levels, diabetics typically have to perform painful and inconvenient finger-prick blood tests in some cases, several times a day.
patients simply place the pad of their finger against a small glass window on the device.
A low-powered laser beam is projected then through that window, and into their finger. Some of that light is absorbed by glucose in the bloodstream,
and some is reflected back down onto the window. Ions on the window glass surface subsequently fluorescence in infrared

#Mussel-inspired surgical glue shuts down bleeding wounds in 60 seconds The ability of mussels to stubbornly bind themselves to underwater surfaces has intrigued scientists for years.
#Scissoring origami-inspired bridge could help out in disasters Whether they're floods, earthquakes or landslides,
natural disasters have a nasty habit of cutting survivors off from aid by destroying bridges. While traditional portable bridges can already be set up in such situations,
researchers from Hiroshima University recently demonstrated a new model that is said to be"the world fastest, largest, strongest,
and lightest expanding temporary bridge.""Developed by a team led by Dr. Ichiro Ario, the Mobile Bridge Version 4. 0 (MB4. 0) was inspired by the Japanese folded-paper art of origami.
When not in use, the MB4. 0 is contracted like an accordion and can be towed on a trailer.
Once it gets to the site of a destroyed bridge, however, it employs a scissor-like action to fold out,
An MB4. 0 prototype was demonstrated at a symposium of the Japan Society of Civil engineers on June 23rd,
and have suggested that it could also be used to extend the lifespan of older bridges that are need in of structural support o
#New"smart window"material selectively blocks light and/or heat In an effort to improve the energy efficiency of building,
researchers have sought to develop windows that change transparency to let more light and therefore heat through
Unfortunately, these methods tend to impede the passage of visible light, some by tinting panes and others by complete obscuration.
But a team at the Cockrell School of engineering at The University of Texas at Austin has developed a"smart window"technology that allows the passage of light
The team's advancements on their previous research have led to the creation of electrochromic materials that can selectively permit the passage of light,
Illustration of different possible modes for this latest"smart window"technology"These two advancements show that sophisticated dynamic control of sunlight is said possible,
and cost targets needed to progress toward commercialization of smart windows. d

#New Invention Bears the Brunt of Earthquakes By Using Good Vibrations Older buildings may get a new lease on life thanks to a new invention that lets them shake off the effects of an earthquake.
Much of the worst quake damage and injuries in recent years result from older buildings collapsinghat because modern buildings in earthquake zones are designed with devices called dampers or isolation units,
which allow the buildings to sway on springs or slide on skids during earthquakes. It impossible to retrofit old buildings with much of that technology,
but a new form of protection may be on the way. Girls from Nepal Group Home Jump into Action Providing Earthquake Relief Researchers at the University of Brighton in the UK have come up with a ibrating barrier (Viba) that absorbs the energy from an earthquake
and protects older buildings. The device is a solid weight balanced on a series of springs.
The Viba isn attached directly to a building walls or skeleton, but buried in the ground
When the ground motion from a quake hits the building, the energy passes through the foundation to the Viba instead of into the structure itself.
which was destroyed mostly by a major quake more than a hundred years ago. always worked in the field of Earthquake engineering hoping one day such disasters will never happen again,
