Clover: A Long-lasting and Hemocompatible Heart Valve

Clover: A Long-lasting and Hemocompatible Heart Valve

The ideal or “desirable”, long-lasting and hemocompatible cardiac valve has been developed by a team of researchers and scientists from diverse disciplines. The valves currently used present problems which go from the need to replace them in a certain time, up to the generation of blood clots. The development is overcoming, as it decreases the possibility of clots formation and it is made of a new hemocompatible material.

Babies’ Stimulation through Sounds

Babies’ Stimulation through Sounds

Specialists hold that this technique is relegated to maternal kindergartens, but that it is the key to stimulate the children’s senses up to three years old. The psychopedagogical theories have shown that musical education has to start towards the sixth gestation month, whereas the beneficial effect of music in a child’s life since birth is proved.

Microcapsules to Control Fertility in Cows

Microcapsules to Control Fertility in Cows

The device designed by researchers of the UNL and the Conicet permits to control and synchronize the cows’ hormonal cycles. It is a more efficient way of cattle production, as it might achieve genetic improvement and minimize the cost, apart from increasing the production of meat. The project was awarded by the Bolsa de Comercio of Santa Fe in the contest “A bet to the Tricentenary”.

Nanotechnology: Smaller and Greater Capacity Technological Devices

Nanotechnology: Smaller and Greater Capacity Technological Devices

A new ordering for ferroelectrical materials in the nanoscale was discovered by researchers from the Institute of Physics of Rosario. The finding results important in the field of nanoelectronics, as the difficulty of these materials to be used in the development of devices with nanometric components was overcame. The possibility that they generate electric energy is analyzed, which will permit for example to charge the cell phone battery while we run or dance.

New Possibilities for Graphene, the Material of the Future

New Possibilities for Graphene, the Material of the Future

Researchers calculated the electric answer of graphene, the thinnest material in the world, faced with the incidence of an infra-red laser light. They concluded that the light beam interrupts the electric conductivity of the material, an effect which the scientific community has searched for for a long time. If this is proved, the discovery would have a great technological impact, as it would open new perspectives for optoelectronic devices, such as plasma screens.

Safer Pavements with Regional Stones

Safer Pavements with Regional Stones

Differently from cement and common asphalt, draining pavement contributes with more safety to the circulation of vehicles because it permits to drain water. Besides, it decreases sound contamination and permits to increase visibility, among other benefits. Researchers from the school of Engineering study the viability of using stone from quarries in Corrientes, Chaco and Misiones to elaborate this kind of pavement.

The Genealogical Tree of Crocodiles’ and Birds’ Most Antique Ancestors

The Genealogical Tree of Crocodiles’ and Birds’ Most Antique Ancestors

Proterochampsa were reptiles which lived in Argentina and Brazil more than 220 million years ago, during the Triassic period. They are the remotest ancestors of crocodiles and modern birds whose relationships were unknown. A research carried out in San Luis permitted to establish that the endemic specie lived in the area and their ancestors came from South Africa and their descendents were North American.

Meta-materials: Imperceptible and with Unknown Optical Properties

Researchers work in the design of “meta-materials”, that is, natural materials whose structure is modified at minute, imperceptible scales with the aim of permitting them to interact with light in a different way than conventional objects. The control of that interaction with light permits advanced technological applications.

Bolsas de basura y contaminación

Bolsas de basura y contaminación

Según la ley 13.868, en la provincia de Buenos Aires las bolsas de polietileno tienen fecha de vencimiento, aunque los especialistas sostienen que mientras éstas sólo contaminan en forma visual, las que se usarán en su reemplazo contienen metales pesados que quedan en la tierra y el agua. El problema real que trae aparejado el uso indiscriminado de las bolsas de polietileno se vincula con la ausencia de costumbres que organicen su disposición final. Es por esto que consideran que el factor verdaderamente clave es el cambio de hábito humano.

Bibliografía digitalizada para universitarios ciegos

Bibliografía digitalizada para universitarios ciegos

La Escuela de Ciencias de la Información de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba habilitó un servicio de digitalización de textos para personas ciegas o con baja visión. Los apuntes y libros son escaneados, corregidos por voluntarios y luego pueden ser consultados en una computadora a través de un software lector de pantalla. También son grabados como archivos de audio y publicados en una biblioteca virtual. La iniciativa apunta a reducir los elevados índices de deserción del sistema educativo de los jóvenes con discapacidad visual.

Desarrollan un módulo que reemplaza la actividad del hígado

A partir de la aplicación de bioprocesos, investigadores de la UNQ trabajan en el diseño de un mini reactor que ayudaría al hígado en casos de trasplantes y serviría como un órgano artificial extracorpóreo. El módulo permite entrar y salir sangre, y habilita el ingreso y egreso de aire por determinadas fibras a través de dos circuitos independientes, diseñados para evitar la muerte celular por falta de oxígeno. El cartucho no sustituye al órgano, sino que haría el trabajo del hígado en pacientes que están a la espera de un trasplante.
