Advancing Cardiac Regeneration with Stem Cell-derived Heart Muscle Cells
Regenerative heart therapies involve transplanting cardiac muscle cells into damaged parts of the heart to restore function. However, this surgery is apparently associated with a…
Thermal Mass Flow Meter
Thermal mass flow meters, also known as thermal dispersion or immersible mass flow meters, are a type of device that measures the total mass flow…
Krytron – a cold-cathode gas-filled tube
The krytron is a cold-cathode gas-filled tube used as a very high-speed switch, comparable to the thyratron. It consists of a sealed glass tube with…
Thyristor – a solid-state semiconductor device
A thyristor is a solid-state semiconductor device that functions as a highly robust and switchable diode, allowing current to flow in one direction but not…
Researchers develop Artificial Cells that Function like Biological Cells
In a new paper published in Nature Chemistry, UNC-Chapel Hill researcher Ronit Freeman and her colleagues reveal the methods they took to modify DNA and…
Acid Reflux Medication has been related to an increased Risk of Migraines
According to a study published in the online issue of Neurology®Clinical Practice, an official journal of the American Academy of Neurology, those who take acid-reducing…
Thyratron – a type of gas-filled tube
A thyratron is a gas-filled tube that functions as a high-powered electrical switch and controlled rectifier. It functions similarly to a vacuum tube, but with…
Mercury-arc Valve
A mercury-arc valve, also known as a mercury-vapor rectifier or (in the United Kingdom) mercury-arc rectifier, is a type of electrical rectifier that converts high-voltage…
Trigatron – a type of triggerable spark gap switch
A trigatron is a sort of triggerable spark gap switch designed for high current and voltage (often 10-100 kV and 20-100 kA, however mega-ampere devices…
These Mice, with their Hybrid Brains, Smell like Rats
Mice without an olfactory system had their sense of smell restored using neurons from rats, marking the first time scientists effectively integrated sensory apparatus from…
Novel One-dimensional Superconductor in Condensed Matter Physics
Researchers at The University of Manchester have established robust superconductivity at high magnetic fields using a newly developed one-dimensional (1D) system, marking a significant advancement…
