Farmers have had long-running battles trying to keep birds of many varieties from eating their sweetcorn. They’ve used propane cannons, visual deterrents and even shotguns, but none succeed for very long. Now a University of Rhode Island researcher has created what she calls a laser scarecrow and tested it at numerous farm fields around the state. She found that the technology is highly successful at scaring birds from cornfields. “Birds, especially starlings and red-winged blackbirds, ar...

According to the WHO, 15 million babies are born prematurely each year, of which 1 million die due to complications. The need to reduce neonatal mortality has culminated in the development of artificial amnion and placenta technology, commonly known as the ‘Artificial Womb’, which provides an environment for the ectogestation of the foetus. Ever since 1958, when Westin et al. developed the first artificial womb by cannulation of umbilical vessels, this technology has shown remarkable potential ...

Wood is made of two basic ingredients: cellulose, which are tiny fibres, and lignin, which bonds those fibres together to give it strength. Tear a paper towel in half and look closely along the edge. You will see the little cellulose fibres sticking up. Lignin is a glue-like material that bonds the fibres together, a little like the plastic resin in fibreglass or carbon fibre. The lignin also contains molecules called chromophores, which give the wood its brown colour and prevent light from ...
