ETH researchers from the Functional Materials Laboratory have developed a silicone heart that beats almost like a human heart. The soft artificial heart was created from silicone using a 3D-printing, lost-wax casting technique; it weighs 390 grams and has a volume of 679 cm3. They proved that the soft artificial heart fundamentally works and moves in a similar way to a human heart. However, it still has one problem: it currently lasts for about only 3,000 beats, which corresponds to a lifetime of half to three quarters of an hour. After that, the material can no longer withstand the strain.

Hacking Aging: A Strategy to Use Big Data From Medical Studies to Extend Human Life

“Age is the most important single risk factor for the incidence of chronic diseases and ultimately, death. The mortality rate increases exponentially with age and doubles approximately every eight years, as described by the Gompertz law of mortality. The incidence of specific diseases, such as cancer or stroke, also accelerates after the age of about forty, and doubles at a rate that mirrors the mortality rate doubling time. It is therefore entirely plausible to think that there is a single underlying process, the driving force behind the progressive reduction of the organism’s fitness leading to the increasing susceptibility to diseases and death, that is aging itself. There is, however, no fundamental law of nature requiring exponential morbidity and mortality risk trajectories. The acceleration of mortality is thus the most important characteristics of aging process. It varies dramatically even among closely related mammalian species and hence appears to be a tunable phenotype. Here we follow how big data from large human medical studies, and analytical approaches borrowed from physics of complex dynamic systems can help to reverse engineer the underlying biology behind Gompertz mortality law. With this approach we hope to generate predictive models of aging and for systematic discovery of biomarkers of aging followed by identification of novel therapeutic targets for future anti-aging interventions”.

Imaging tool unravels secrets of child's sock from ancient Egypt

Non-invasive technique devised by British Museum sheds light on dyeing and weaving process

The ancient Egyptians famously gave us paper and the pyramids, but were also early adopters of the stripy sock.

Scientists at the British Museum have developed pioneering imaging to discover how enterprising Egyptians used dyes on a child’s sock, recovered from a rubbish dump in ancient Antinoupolis in Roman Egypt, and dating from 300AD.

New multispectral imaging can establish which dyes were used – madder (red), woad (blue) and weld (yellow) – but also how people of the late antiquity period used double and sequential dying and weaving, and twisting fibres to create myriad colours from their scarce resources.
