A glue that could save lives
Australian and American biomedical engineers have developed a stretchy surgical glue that rapidly heals wounds. It's seen as a breakthrough that has the potential to save lives in emergencies. The injectable glue, MeTro, is based on a naturally occurring protein. It's applied directly to the wound and then activated with UV light to form a complete seal, eliminating the need for staples or stitches. Its elasticity means it's designed to work well on shape-changing internal organs like the lungs and heart. http://www.news.com.au/technology/science/human-body/injectable-stretchy-glue-that-heals-wounds-in-60-seconds-c

A waste facility that blends in with the environment
T Park recently opened to treat HK's sludge which is a by-product of sewage treatment. This wave-like building includes an exhibition hall where you can learn about the process as well as enjoy a spa. Outside you can visit a garden and wildlife sanctuary. The heat energy generated from the waste incineration process is turned into electricity that can support the needs of the entire facility as well as contribute to the public power grid. After incineration sludge is converted into ash and residues a total reduction of 90% of the original sludge volume. You can book a visit at www.tpark.hk
