Mankind grasps more and more surfaces of the ground as roads, the airports, etc.
But we can return these areas to plants vertically.
For this purpose it is necessary to build walls with special building blocks.
Wound healing facilitated by electrical activity
This technology is a device that uses electrical activity to facilitate the wound healing process while protecting the wound.
NASA's Langley Research Center offers a novel lifting and precision positioning device with hybrid functional characteristics of both crane-type lifting devices and robotic manipulators. The design of the Lunar Surface Manipulation System (LSMS) allows for fine positioning with complete control over both translation and rotation of the payload.
NASA Langley Research Center has developed a family of imide materials that exhibit glass transition temperatures from 240C to 340C. Two resins from this family, designated as PETI-RTM and PETI-RI, were originally developed to meet the demanding requirements for future high-speed aircraft.
A new patented NASA technology has the potential to utilize recent advances in Radio Frequency Identification Devices (RFIDs) combined with smart software to create an electronic firefighter evacuation trail and fire safety information location system. The trail, with associated capabilities specified by the invention,
NASA's Langley Research Center developed a deployable and stowable mechanical design for filling the cavity behind the leading-edge slat (i.e., slat cove), when it is extended upon landing an aircraft. Aerodynamic flow over an unfilled cavity typically exhibits strongly unsteady behavior that is a source of aeroacoustic noise.
Impressive Putty is the easiest, safest, and most affordable mold making material in the world. Take almost any shape, made from clay, or printed on a 3-D printer. Press the Putty mold making materials over it, and you are ready to duplicate your part into plastic, concrete, soap,
This vehicle is unique in it's approach to be an individual mobility concept,
Although India is the world’s second largest fruit and vegetable producer, it is estimated 18-30% is wasted. 20% of this happens in the marketplace due to heat, pests and sun spoilage. Only 10% of fruit and vegetables are refrigerated any time before sale.
