  There are indications that BCG revaccination might protect against Covid-19. The latest results come from a   Greek study   p ublished as an as yet un-peer reviewed preprint on   medRxiv. BCG – Bacillus Calmette–Guérin – celebrates its 100th anniversary this summer and remains the only approved vaccine against tuberculosis. Developed by French bacteriologists Albert Calmette and Camille Guérin from a bovine relative of  Mycobacterium tuberculosis,  it was   first given to an infant in a Parisian hospital in July 1921. It was recognized early on that BCG vaccination appeared to reduce death from diseases beyond just tuberculosis. Immunologists have long suspected that this live vaccine primes the immune system to better fight infection. Last year, it was hypothesized that BCG vaccination may  protect against Covid-19 . The Greek preprint – yet to be peer-reviewed – reported that BCG revaccination resulted in a 68% risk reduction for Covid-19 infection, clinically or virologically co

  📢It's time for our segment Endless Possibilities!📢 Carbon fiber knives are awesome! As a wise man once said: ''Carrying a CARBON FIBER KNIFE makes you 100% more self-sufficient.'' These knives are perfect for everybody, from the businessman to someone who lives in the jungle. They allow you to always finish the job WITH STYLE. After all, we know that there is nothing more beautiful than a carbon fiber look, right? But be careful when buying one... Just because it looks like carbon, doesn't mean that it is actually carbon fiber! Would you have one? Do you believe that they can have the same performance as other luxury knives? Let us know in the comments!

Today we will dive deeper into the fiberglass world! 🧐 As in a common soda-lime glass, the principal ingredient in all fiberglasses is silica (SiO2). Other oxides, such as B2O3 and Al2O3, are added to modify the network structure of SiO2 as well as to improve its workability. The internal structure of fiberglasses is a three-dimensional, long network of silicon, oxygen, and other atoms arranged randomly. But how is fiberglass manufactured? It all starts once raw materials are mixed and placed on a glass batch, which has a screw feeder that connects it to the tank, which is heated to melt the glass (>1370°C). The molten glass is fed into electrically heated bushings, which are generally made of platinum or metal alloy, with up to 3,000 very fine orifices. The molten glass passes through the orifices and comes out as fine filaments. Special binders are added and the strands are caught up on a high-speed winder. The basic continuous commercial fiberglass is a strand. The strands can b

Modifying chloroplasts with aggregation-induced emission luminogens, known as AIEgens, makes them better at splitting water, separating electrons and generating adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The AIEgens, which were attached using click chemistry, enhance the chloroplasts by harvesting light that is normally inaccessible to regular photosynthetic pigments. Chloroplasts are the light-driven metabolic factories of higher plant cells that produce carbohydrates and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water during photosynthesis. Chlorophyll A and Chlorophyll B are the main photosynthetic pigments within the chloroplasts. However, the adsorption spectrums of those pigments do not cover the whole solar radiation spectrum and means chloroplasts cannot harness all the solar energy available to them. Chloroplasts mainly adsorb blue and red light and are unable to harness light in the non-visible ultraviolet region, which can damage DNA and protein. Now, a team led by Zhiyang Liu, Ryan Kwok and Ben Zh

Titanium dioxide, which is used as a colorant in many common household items such as toothpaste, sunscreen, paint, and food coloring, ‘can no longer be considered as safe when used as a food additive’, according to an updated safety assessment by the European Food Safety Authority (Efsa). The Efsa expert panel concluded that the absorption of titanium dioxide particles is low after oral ingestion, but they can accumulate in the body, and genotoxicity concerns cannot be excluded. This new evaluation revises Efsa’s previous assessment from 2016, which found that titanium dioxide was safe for food applications but that further research was needed to fill in the gaps. The agency said its new determination is based on a review of many thousands of studies that have become available recently, including new scientific evidence and data on nanoparticles. The Titanium Dioxide Manufacturers Association, which represents the major producers of titanium dioxide, says it is currently ‘carefully eva

Research conducted by Graphical Research showed that the European automotive composites market share was USD 1,475.4 million in 2019 and will grow at a CAGR of 6.6% up to 2026.  The European automotive composites market is expected to gain substantial growth owing to the presence of major car manufacturers. Europe is home to numerous car manufacturing companies with production facilities.  The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically impacted automobile production due to a significant decline in sales of cars and other light commercial vehicles. The low demand has critically affected the region owing to stringent country-wide lockdowns to control the spread of coronavirus. However, this situation is expected to gain normalcy through continuous government measures and the automotive composites industry is expected to rebound after the upliftment of lockdown and transportation restrictions.  This is the type of news we LOVE to see! We will do our best to help to make this growth possible!  Refe
