Single test for over 50 genetic diseases will cut diagnosis from decades to days
Posted by Gemechu Taye in categories: biotech/medical, genetics
Further research shows that the test is accurate.
When it comes to genetic neurological and neuromuscular diseases, screening early is key to getting the right treatment. A new DNA test developed by researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney may help in this process, as reported by the institution in a press release published on Saturday.
Garvan researchers have shown how new genomic sequencing technology can reduce the ‘diagnostic odyssey’ experienced by people with rare neurological and neuromuscular diseases.

Seldom Has Politics Superseded the Pursuit of Scientific Discovery and Sharing
Posted by Len Rosen in category: space
Even when politicians and countries have sparred, pursuing scientific truths has been a shared experience across academia and political boundaries. But not now with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
In response to the invasion of Ukraine programs of cooperation between Europe, North Americas, and Russia in space and research are ending.

How the Webb Telescope will reveal invisible features of the universe
Posted by Atanas Atanasov in category: space
Joseph DePasquale, the senior data imaging developer at Space Telescope Science Institute, did some minor stretching of the image to bring out more of the detail of the star in the constellation Ursa Major known as HD 84406.
NASA’s James Webb Telescope will capture images in infrared light, providing a new perspective on the cosmos.

Huawei’s competitor to Tesla electric cars is set to hit China’s streets on Saturday
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: business, robotics/AI, transportation
BEIJING — The first electric car with Huawei’s HarmonyOS operating system is set to begin deliveries at a ceremony on Saturday in Shanghai, according to an announcement on social media.
In December, Huawei’s consumer business group CEO Richard Yu spent an hour at a winter product launch event promoting the car, the Aito M5. But the Chinese telecommunications company has emphasized it will not make cars on its own, rather working with auto manufacturers on autonomous driving and other technology.
Seres is the automaker behind the Aito M5. The company is also known as SF Motors and is a Silicon Valley-based subsidiary of automaker Sokon, which is based in Chongqing, China, according to the parent company’s website.

Merritt considering 3D printer to help build homes for evacuees
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: 3D printing, habitats, security
Following November’s catastrophic flooding events, roughly 600 Merritt residents still haven’t returned to their homes, but a 3D printer may speed up the process. Greg Solecki, the Merritt’s recovery manag.
“Our biggest priority is getting people back to Merritt and into homes and this 3D-printed option is looking like the most viable one right now,” Solecki said.

DIY Injection Molder Built From A Cheap Pneumatic Press
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: cybercrime/malcode, materials
[Kurt Schaefer] was watching YouTube videos of people making molds for injection molding purposes using what he considered to be the toy 3,018 CNC machines, and looking at the results, decided he needed a piece of the action. However, once you have molds, the next obvious issue to address is lack of access to an injection molding machine. But these things are expensive. As luck would have it, you can get a nice-looking pneumatic press for less than $350, and with a little more money spent, [Kurt] found he could convert it into a functional injection molding machine (video, embedded below), and get some half-decent results out of it.
After ordering the press on eBay, what eventually arrived was quite a mess, having clearly been inadequately packed for its weight, and had sustained some damage in transit. Despite this, it seemed the functional bits were fine, so [Kurt] decided to press on with the build. The first obvious change is the requirement of a heated chamber to deal with the feedstock material. Using an off-the-shelf injection molding chamber by buster beagle 3D, only a few standoffs and a support bracket needed machining in order to complete the mechanics. A common PID controller available from the usual suppliers, with some heat bands wrapped around the chamber, dealt with the injection temperature requirements, and some 3D printed enclosures wrapped it all up neatly.
