A new analysis of classical Greek and Roman medical texts suggests that severe memory loss—occurring at epidemic levels today—was extremely rare 2,000 to 2,500 years ago, in the time of Aristotle, Galen and Pliny the Elder. Engineers have developed an ultra-sensitive sensor made with graphene that can detect extraordinarily low concentrations of lead ions in water. This technique allows for gene editing on specific subsets of cells while they are still in the body, which is a major step toward a programmable delivery method that would eliminate the need for destroying a patients’ bone marrow and immune system. Six weeks of intravenous ketamine treatment provided symptom relief for veterans with treatment-resistant depression. Have you ever been frustrated by a paper straw becoming soggy and unusable before you could finish your drink? Researchers discovered that graphene derived from metallurgical coke can serve as a reinforcing additive in cement and a replacement for sand in concrete—providing an alternative to less sustainable sand mining. |
