Superhero-like stretching capabilities aren't just for . Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have come up with a new technology that can make any exceptionally flexible. ELAST technology (Entangled Link-Augmented Stretchable Tissue-hydrogel) is a chemical process that makes tissue samples very thin, very stretchy, compressible, and borderline . With it, lab technicians can more quickly and easily conduct fluorescent labeling in cells, proteins, or other genetic materials within organs like the brain or lungs. That, in turn, could enable faster research discoveries. The...…Superhero-like stretching capabilities aren't just for .

Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, have come up with a design for a high-pressure ventilator that can mechanically breathe for patients with the most severe cases of COVID-19 ()—and they did it in just 37 days. "We specialize in spacecraft, not medical device manufacturing. But excellent engineering, rigorous testing and rapid prototyping are some of our specialties," JPL Director Michael Watkins said in a "When people at JPL realized they might have what it takes to support the medical community and the broader community, they felt it was their...…Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, have come up with a design for a high-pressure ventilator that can mechanically breathe for patients with the most severe cases of COVID-19 ()—and they did it in just 37 days.

When it comes to larger-than-life sci-fi sculptures, no country can hang with Japan. It isn't enough to have the world's largest working robot under construction at the Port of Yokohama—that —so now Japan is also undertaking another icon of titan proportions: Godzilla.Related Story➡ You like badass beasts. So do we. The many film adaptions of Godzilla show off the fictitious sea monster at anywhere (164 to 394 feet), while this iteration of Godzilla is a mere 20 meters (65 feet) tall, 25 meters (82 feet) wide, and 55 meters (180 feet) long.While that may not be quite as huge as the real...…When it comes to larger-than-life sci-fi sculptures, no country can hang with Japan.
