A lot of new things happened in the scientific field this week. Scientists from all countries offer all new and new technologies that may favorably respond in the future. Scientists from the University of North Carolina have solved the trouble that their favorite headphones break by creating flexible wires, replacing traditional copper with an alloy of gallium and indium, which remains in a liquid state at ordinary temperature. Specialists and the National Research Council of Italy declare that rattan can be successfully used as a substitute for bones in people whose skeletal structure has been damaged. Thus, it is possible to make wood as a bone replacement for those people who for one reason or another were left without an arm or leg. Frolian Klein and his colleagues at the Laboratory of Molecular Immunology, Michael Nussenzweiger, found that a combination of five different antibodies — proteins of the human immune system that are used to fight infections — can suppress the replication (reproduction) of the HIV-1 virus and block it for 60 days after passing the test rodent of this therapy. Researchers from the Spanish University of Jean began producing bricks from paper waste. If all these innovations are used, then a bright future is waiting for us.
