Zainab Mubasher's articles News The Grid Storage Puzzle – Can New Start-Ups Solve It? With the crumbling environment, we just can’t afford to use fossil fuels anymore, so we turn to cleaner alternatives like wind turbines and solar panels. However, if we think about it, there are periods when we won’t have sunshine, and periods when there’s no wind, consequently we’ll have to deal with periods with no electricity […] Written by Zainab Mubasher 2019-11-242021-09-19 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked Life Science News Technology Treating Cornea Damage – A New Use of iPS Discovered in Japan Previously damaging your cornea meant that it was almost impossible to get your vision back, the only treatment being a cornea transplant from a donor who had died. The results of an operation on a Japanese woman by an ophthalmologist Kohji Nishida, however, is hope for many patients with cornea damage.

Once merely a figment of imagination, the pure Carbon-18 ring has now materialized into our lives. Estimated to have semiconductor properties, it offers great scope for technological developments and now opens up “a new field of investigation,” according to Yoshito Tobe, a chemist at Osaka University in Japan. If we trace back carbon-18’s story, it […] Written by Zainab Mubasher 2019-09-072021-09-07 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked Life Science News Technology Neuralink Plans for Human Subjects for a New Experiment Under the supervision of a neuroscientist, a robot carefully implants ultra-fine threads, finer than hair, into the brain of its subject to collect neuron activity and using this data to control machines.
