Abbey Liebman 10 created a dress using conductive cotton threads capable of charging an iphone.

The study also suggests the broader potential for adapting nanoscale drug-delivery techniques developed for use in environmental remediation. hat we can apply some of the highly sophisticated,

The researchers devised a novel designer ribosome with tethered subunits Ribo-T. hat we were ultimately able to do was show that by creating an engineered ribosome where the RIBOSOMAL RNA is shared between the two subunits and linked by these small tethers,

Eventually, the researchers figured out that a second special property of brain cancer cells that they lack the so-called myelin sheaths that coat healthy brain cells had a greater effect on the OCT readings than did density.

For several weeks, each of the subjects put on an electrode-studded hat capable of analysing their brain signals.

#Wear a 3d printed Onesie That Acts as a Walking Air cleaner Dutch designer Borre Akkersdijk debuts wearable tech suit with stiched-in solutions to pollutionpsfk meets with Borre Akkersdijk,

Founder of the Dutch design company at Northside Festival to learn more about the debut of the BB Suit 3d printed onesie that doubles as an air purifiernd the future of wearable fashion.

The BB Suit concept first took shape when the team was invited to the Beijing Design Festival,

In learning of the daily pollution problem, it became apparent that the suit should double as solution for cleaner air.

If you so choose to wear the onesie in the car for one hour, you will have cleaned successfully the polluted air.

The prototype of the suits are still too extreme to appeal to the mass market but the designer hopes to create a surface that everybody can make use of.

Similar to an iphone, in which each user curates their own apps, the future suits will enable the owner complete control over the functions.

The adoption of the suit will rely on the future evolution of a new industry that bridges technology and textiles,

to connect to your digital wallet and stop you before you overspend. If our clothing serves all of these uses,

would we want to wear anything else? Byborre Northside Festiva d

#Anti-Radiation Glasses Protect Against Computer Eye Strain Zappi glasses are designed to protect the wearer eyes from the harmful light given off by digital devices such as smartphones, tablets and computers.

As many people spend hours using technology and looking at screens, Zappi founder and CEO Andy Jones decided to help guard people eyes against the damage of UV and blue light.

The nonprescription glasses are aimed at people who don normally wear glasses but view digital screens on a regular basis.

The glasses are made from impact-resistant polycarbonate with a scratch-resistant lens that also reduces glare to the eyes.

The computer and gaming glasses are aimed at every member of the family. Currently raising funds on Indiegogo, Zappi perks offer pairs for children (£25) and adults (£30),

so it shouldn come as a surprise that French company Spinali Design has created a smart bikini to help women monitor sun exposure responsibly.

The bikini bottom has a section where a UV sensor clips on to the fabric.

when the bikini wearer needs some help applying sunscreen. The lightweight sensor is removable, waterproof and measures less than two centimeters.

The bikini labels are printed on the inside of the suit and are customizable with a photo or message.

In addition to the bikini, Spinali has created also a connected beach towel that includes a UV sensor. The towel measures 200 x 150 cm

Bikini start at $167 US (149#or £108) with towels available for $111 USD (99#or £72.

eif4e forms a key part of a complex that binds to a cap at the end of each mrna strand

Because this cap-binding function of eif4e has been considered so essential, the researchers thought other known players in translation must somehow be working overtime in the engineered mice to take up the slack for the reduction in eif4e.

Interestingly, the majority of mrnas produced by these genes contain a molecular signature near the cap that the researchers dubbed a ERT motif.
