New e-skin feels heat, textures and more

I choose this article because it talks about a field I want to work in the future, the cyborg, where this technology can improve the capacity of people and provide new limbs to people that have lost some.

This article talks about how Hyunhyub Ko and his team have created a new electronic skin that can feel different textures, heat and more. It is made with a rubbery plastic and carbon films.

In the future this e-skin can be upgraded until it feels the same as natural skin, and can be used to help people and improve their lives.

Stephen Hawking says his group has solved a black hole puzzle

 

 

1.  Why you have chosen this article?

I have chosen this article because among all theme and tittles, it caught my attention. That is a really interesting research.

2. Summary

Since the black holes have never been known completely by us, including physicists, Stephen Hawking and his team have done a study about what happens with matter inside of his holes. They mention the Hawking Radiation, a process of evaporation black holes’ matter. Also, the information paradox (the matter never is lost, always transformed). Moreover, this research explains how each particle inside black holes produces a perturbation in a hologram (layer of light slides along event horizon, a boundary where the information is stored).

3. How this discovery/information has an impact in the world

This study can impact because, in the world of physics, it is a puzzle without solution; that is, there have been many researches trying to discover the truth about the black holes making suppositions and experiments. However, nobody has never found the correct explanation, or simply, nobody knows if their answer is the correct. Therefore, each investigation helps to solve it.

Nearsighted? Eye drops slow worsening vision

Why I have shosen this article

I have choosen this article because, I think that it is very interesting also because this drops could help to people to cure their myopia. On the other hand, I have choosen because I have myopia and I wanted to inform for I know if is true. In general, I hope that the people find this article fantastic.

Summary

Worldwide to increased the myopia from the people. Myopia mean that the people see the objects fuzzy in long distances . The article says that the scientists form Singapore have discovered a sustance to protect the eyesight of severely myopic children. They have done this by using an ancient drug in a new way.

The drug is a poison made by many plants in the nightshade family, such as mandrake and belladonna, and the its name is atropine. Also, the atropine can have side effects: vision and sensitivity to light, therefore it has only been used to treat the as lazy eye.

The scientists from Singapore tried small doses of atropine in children from 6 to 12 years old that they had myopia. The scientists saw that the children who took eye drops with this concentration of atropine were the least nearsighted after five years, with few side effects.Donald Tan is an ophthalmologist and he led the study.
