Unfortunately, this is becoming a reality for way too many Americans. As the middle class has shrunk and the cost of living has increased, a lot of people have decided to quite literally “live on the road”. Whether it is a car, a truck, a van, a bus or an RV, an increasing number of Americans are using their vehicles as their homes.

Researchers developing 'intelligent' microrobots and genetically modified cells for drug delivery <br />https://www.sott.net/article/328927-What-could-go-wrong-Researchers-developing-intelligent-microrobots-and-genetically-modified-cells-for-drug-delivery<br /><br />The questions focus on materials and design: "When designing robots like this, we can't rely on our intuition because, on this small a scale, materials often behave differently than we are used to," explains Nelson. Special 3-D printers have expanded the range of materials used in microrobot design, going beyond semiconductor metals to include polymers. As a result, last year Nelson's team in collaboration with Professor Christofer Hierold's team was able to create a robot from a biocompatible biopolymer that dissolves in the body after completing its task. <br /><br /> In his latest publication, Nelson goes one step further. The microrobots presented there can transform their shape depending on the environmental conditions, which is why Nelson calls them "origami robots". The change in shape can be stimulated by a change in the pH of body fluids, a temperature difference or a light pulse. The robots' plasticity is based on a multilayer structure with different hydrogels. Since the biopolymers expand or contract differently under external stimuli, the robot is able to change shape. <br /><br />Thursday, 22 September 2016 <br />Paul Beckwith vindicated <br /><br />Vindication of My Viral Video: “Unprecedented, Jet Stream Crosses Equator”<br />http://robinwestenra.blogspot.co.nz/2016/09/paul-beckwith-vindicated.html<br /><br />Air pollution has emerged as the fourth leading risk factor for premature deaths worldwide, reports BSS.<br />http://www.thefinancialexpress-bd.com/2016/09/19/46445/%E2%80%98Air-pollution-fourth-leading-factor-for-premature-death%E2%80%99<br /><br />[comment by dtlange at Scribbler's]<br /><br />Tom<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
