Nanomachines can destroy cancer cells in less than three minutes

-


According to a study published in the journal Nature, chemists from three American and British universities have created Nanomachines capable of destroying cancer cells.
These machines are so small that fifty thousand of them, glued together, would be about the width of a human hair. Each motorized Nanomachine is sensitive to a particular protein (ten different specimens have been created). When activated by light beams, they turn on themselves three million times per second, allowing them to pierce a cell.
At Durham University, researchers tested their machines on prostate cancer cells and in less than three minutes one of these Nanomachines was able to destroy the cell.

Researchers are experimenting with these machines with microorganisms and small fish to see if this is effective in a living organism.
They are already experimenting with microorganisms and small fish and hope to be able to breed in rodents soon, before human clinical trials if animal testing is successful.
One of the current limitations is that the activation of ultraviolet rays can only treat cells on the surface of tissues, where light can be directed via an optical fiber.

Leonardo Da Vinci was not wrong: New theory of energy production!

Leonardo Da Vinci was not wrong Leonardo Da Vinci was not mistaken when he designed a gravitational turbine which produces mechanical energy by exploiting the gravitational force and his idea has no relation to the term “perpetual motion”. I proved by precise calculations that it is a technical solution thanks to which gravity can become a source of renewable energy without violating any of the laws of thermodynamics. I think the term “perpetual motion” was coined to obscure a certain aspect of physics in order to protect the oil industry in the last century and prevent the teaching and the research in this branch of physics. If the turbine designed by Leonardo da Vinci falls under the term perpetual motion, what do you think of the spontaneous flow of water from a closed barrel connected to the sea on one side and open on the other, is it also perpetual motion? Of course not, because perpetual motion cannot exist in reality, and if there is motion, it means that the laws of thermodyna

The perception of colors depends on the language!

Scientists from the University of Berlin have conducted a scientific study involving speakers of Greek, German and Russian. Their results showed that the human perception of color is related to the spoken language. According to the journal Psychological Science, scientists have relied on the well-known hypothesis of linguistic relativity that mental representations depend on linguistic categories, ie that the way in which the world is perceived depends on language, because linguists believe that learning a new language changes consciousness. The scientists chose  (47)  Russian ,  (29)  German and  (28)  Greek speakers for the study, with distinct words: blue and light blue (blue, turquoise, light blue). In German, one word expresses this color, the rest is called light blue. Scientists showed 13 triangles of different colors on a colored background, light blue on a blue background and light green on a dark green background. In five cases, the researchers left a blan

How to choose the perfect Domain Name for Your Future Business!

When creating a brand, one of the first decisions to make is to select a domain name. This is an essential step to put a website online, to trade, to create e-mail addresses. It represents your first identity on the internet without which we can not find you and condition your presence on several search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo...  Your domain name should not be chosen by chance as it will be the first thing that will be typed by those who are looking for you on the web. It is important to reserve your domain name as soon as possible. The first come will be the first served even if the anteriority of your mark can allow you to recover sometimes this one. The choice of the domain name depends on the activity and geographical reach of your business and the purchase of a "Web identity" is not as simple as it seems. This choice will have an impact on the future success of your website, in terms of natural referencing including but also from a point of v
