Dead batteries could soon find a second lease on life thanks to a new chemical injection. One of the problems with lithium-ion batteries is that, over time, they slowly lose their charging efficacy, eventually becoming useless. However, a new battery revival injection could help reduce waste and make replacing batteries as often a thing of the past.This particular accomplishment would be especially useful in the electric vehicle industry, where lithium-ion-powered batteries are the main power source of the…

To get the new genetic material into cells, they engineered harmless viruses to carry it. Doctors carefully injected a tiny amount of liquid containing the viruses into a part of the children’s inner ears called the cochlea, a spiral-shaped chamber that contains hair cells. The first patient in the trial received the gene therapy in December 2022. Researchers followed the participants, who ranged in age from 1 to 6 years old, for 23 weeks after treatment.While the gene therapy did not give the children a “normal” level of…

A study by Indiana University suggests that scattering sunlight-reflecting particles in the atmosphere could slow down the melting of Antarctic ice. This approach, known as stratospheric aerosol injection, aims to mitigate the risks of rising sea levels due to climate change. Credit: SciTechDaily.comClimate Engineering Could Slow Antarctic Ice LossScattering sunlight-reflecting particles in the atmosphere could slow rapid melting in West Antarctica and reduce the risk of catastrophic sea-level rise, according to a study…

Research published this week describes a promising start to using stem cell therapy for multiple sclerosis. In a small Phase I trial, patients who had stem cells directly injected into their brain appeared to tolerate it well and experienced no serious adverse effects. The treatment may have also stopped or slowed the progression of their symptoms, the scientists say, but larger studies will be needed to confirm its effectiveness.“Even AI Rappers are Harassed by Police” | AI UnlockedMultiple sclerosis is an autoimmune…

Unravelling Complexity: A Novel Approach to Manifold Learning Using Noise InjectionIn the world of data science, high-dimensional data presents both a challenge and opportunity. Whilst it provides a treasure trove of relationships and patterns that can be moulded and transformed, without careful cleaning and selection it can become overwhelming to analyse and draw conclusions from: “The curse of dimensionality”. Whilst instinctively you may lean to Principal Component Analysis to embed the data to a smaller subspace, you…

A raft of policy measures to unify exchange rates in Nigeria have been welcomed by the investor community – but without a cash injection from the central bank, the naira could continue to freefall. International investors will continue to wait in the wings for a capital injection from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to fund foreign exchange demand of around $1.5 billion. Until then, the naira could devalue to as low as N1,000 to the US dollar, says Charity Orji, chief executive officer of Angala Fintech Ltd., a…

A single injection of an experimental gene therapy treatment may be all that is required to permanently stop a female cat from reproducing, according to a small, proof-of-concept study.Of the more than 600 million-some domestic felines that wander our planet, an astounding 80 percent are believed to be strays, void of owners or homes.This potential new sterilization method could help control stray cat populations more safely and efficiently than surgically removing a cat's ovaries or uterus, which requires trapping,…

<!----> Vietnam’s largest private conglomerate VinGroup and its chairman Pham Nhat Vuong plan to inject US$1.5bn into their automaker VinFast over the next year to help the company achieve its global expansion targets, according to local reports. Pham Nhat Vuong was reported to have…

Learn to interact with databases in a safe way in PythonImage by mohamed_hassan on PixabaySQL Injection is one of the most common and also most dangerous web security vulnerabilities which allows hackers to inject malicious SQL code into unvalidated and unsanitized plain SQL queries. It is also a common issue that new developers overlook.The cause and solution for SQL Injection are actually pretty simple. In this post, we will explore SQL Injection with some simple queries and will pretend to be an attacker to exploit our…
