Microwave oven to produce graphene
The strongest material ever tested — graphene — can be produced in an ordinary microwave oven, through a process similar to how snowflakes form. The method might lead to a cheaper, easier way to produce the highly conductive, atom-thick carbon sheets.

Communication brake
Meet the new neuron Neuroscientists have introduced the world to a new kind of neuron, which is believed to exist only in the human brain. Dubbed ‘rosehip’ neurons because of their shape, they seem to act as inhibitory cells. “They can really act as a sort of brake on the system,” says neuroscientist Ed Lein.

Quiosks ?
*Enviado pelo AMICOR Reginaldo Hollanda Albuquerque (Brasília)* Quiosques de saúde têm sido cada vez mais adotados para fornecer serviços de saúde para aqueles com acesso limitado. Os quiosques têm o potencial de atingir pessoas que podem ter condições de saúde não diagnosticadas ou aquelas que não estão sob cuidados médicos regulares. Até o momento, há poucas pesquisas avaliando a utilidade dos quiosques de saúde na comunidade. Este estudo teve como objetivo explorar a aceitabilidade, usabilidade, utilidade e satisfação geral dos quiosques de saúde em ambientes de comunidade majori... mais »
