Spider's silk could be used to repair human nerve damage in 'exciting' new treatment. Silk from spiders is made into tiny tubes that bridge gaps between damaged nerves. The treatment was created by Oxford-based Newrotex, founded by trauma surgeon Dr Alex Woods. He says the time for nerve repair surgery can be dramatically reduced. While research trials are in early stages, it is hoped the treatment will be offered for NHS patients in 2025. This could mean, men having prostate cancer surgery need no longer worry about erectile dysfunction and incontinence. Breast sensitivity could be restored after a mastectomy. https://www.inkl.com/a/EZqVrauXBl
On construction sites, big power loads are needed for big equipment. Often much of this power comes from diesel generators. Diesel is a highly polluting fossil fuel, spills can occur, and diesel generators can be very noisy. AMPD Energy has designed a continuously operating battery storage system that is safe for the rough and tumble of construction sites, 30% less noisy and of course produces no diesel particulates and 85% less CO2. Most importantly they are able to deliver the high-power loads needed, for example, to run massive equipment like cranes.https://www.ampd.energy/
