Therapy might prevent kidney injury that often arises following major surgery Ultrasound treatment can help prevent acute kidney injury in animals. Anti-inflammatory effects of the treatment appear to give it its kidney-protective properties. Acute kidney injury is one of the most common and serious complications of hospitalized patients. Ultrasound treatments may prevent acute kidney injury

Could we soon be driving a 3D printed car to our 3D printed house and eating 3D printed food for dinner? Jim Kor, who heads Kor Ecologic, has created a 3D printed car called the Urbee 2. We saw the first design, Urbee, back in 2010. This updated three-wheel, two-seater vehicle is 10 feet long and takes

Kurt Vonnegut depicted a future in which people who had been born superior in some way over “average” people could not use those gifts to take “unfair” advantage.

By some estimates, bacterial strains resistant to antibiotics ­– so-called superbugs – will cause more deaths than cancer by 2050. Colorado State University biomedical and chemistry researchers are using creative tactics to subvert these superbugs and their mechanisms of invasion. In particular, they’re devising new ways to keep harmful bacteria from forming sticky matrices called biofilms

Using a common metal most famously found in self-cleaning ovens, Sossina Haile hopes to change our energy future. The metal is cerium oxide — or ceria — and it is the centerpiece of a promising new technology developed by Haile and her colleagues that concentrates solar energy and uses it to efficiently convert carbon dioxide

Untethered robots suffer from a stamina problem. A possible solution: a circulating liquid – “robot blood” – to store energy and power its applications for sophisticated, long-duration tasks. Humans and other complex organisms manage life through integrated systems. Humans store energy in fat reserves spread across the body, and an intricate circulatory system transports oxygen

A Missouri University of Science and Technology professor has shown that improving wastewater treatment and saving energy are not only essential, but they’re also compatible. Dr. Jianmin Wang, professor of civil, architectural and environmental engineering at Missouri S&T, has developed multiple wastewater treatment technologies that produce freshwater that is not only cleaner than wastewater treated

Have you ever had a Jacques Cousteau fantasy? A yearning to live your own version of 20,000 leagues under the sea? Or maybe, you just want to see the great barrier reef on something other than the Discovery Channel? Either way, unless you are an experienced swimmer with a solid set of diving skills, your
