The patch uses 100 times less vaccine than an injection to provide the same resistance
In a successful test of a prototype nanotech vaccine patch, Australian researchers at the University of Queensland used a patch smaller than a postage stamp to deliver vaccine through the skin without needles, and with 100 times less vaccine required to evoke a similar protective immune response, according to Pharmacy News.
We noted previously that the nanopatch efficiency could help limited stocks of vaccine go a long…

In the late 1960s, Don Helmrich, his brother Ed and their father Henry took note of the rise of the fiberglass-bodied dune buggy and decided to try their own hand at building a fiberglass body to fit on a Volkswagen tub. But instead of designing yet another Meyers knockoff, they went in a different direction.
“My dad, he wanted to do either a boattail speedster or a Cord,” Don said. “And unfortunately, he chose the Cord.”
Thus began a project that dragged out for more than a deca…

Talk about unfortunate timing: Just as the scrapping incentives all around the world are running out, a Japanese company found a way to turn old cars into fuel.
According to The Nikkei [sub], Japan’s JFE Engineering Corp. is set to open an automobile recycling center that turns the increasing amounts of plastics [...]

If you’ve been anywhere near a television or Web enabled device in the last week (and you must have been), you know that a volcanic eruption in Iceland has grounded airline flights across Europe and even halted a few flights into the northeastern-most areas of Canada. What you probably don’t know is how to pronounce the name of the volcano (Eyjafjallajökull) or why an eruption in Iceland is grounding flights in London, Madrid and Berlin.

Times have, apparently, changed. When Richard Langworth went looking for photos of the 1960s Cadillac V-12 to prove its existence for the story he wrote on that episode of Cadillac history in Special Interest Autos, he came up empty-handed. But after a few well-placed e-mails, GM’s Heritage Center (which now has one of the engines on display) sent along these three photos of what it called the V-Future V-12.
The mention that it’s at the Heritage Center sent me back to look over the photos I t…

Robin Hartford of Izmir, Turkey, recently sent us this photo taken from his days sailing the Mediterranean aboard the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga CV-60. He notes the photo was take in Izmir, Turkey, in 1974 or 1975, and he describes the scene:
At the time, downtown Izmir’s vehicles appeared to be right off the streets of Havana, Cuba, a combination of two decade old American cars and Russian-made trucks.
So what are the two American vehicles pictured?
I figure they are:
1956 Ford Customline 4-do…

In the 236 years since oxygen was identified as a life-giving necessity, no scientist anywhere has discovered a multicellular animal capable of living without the stuff. Until now. Researchers from Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, have discovered three new species that live their entire life in an anoxic pit beneath the Mediterranean Sea. This discovery drastically revises science’s understand of where animals can thrive.
Prior to this discovery, the only organisms capable of…

Honey, I shrunk the superconductors
Scientists have created the world’s smallest superconductor, from a sheet of four molecule-pairs less than a nanometer wide. That’s far smaller than the head of a pin — which stretches across a million nanometers — and more on the order of a DNA molecule, which is about 2 nanometers wide.
Superconductivity has been considered a large-scale phenomenon ever since its discovery in 1911. But the new study by Ohio University scientists suggests that nanoscale superconduct…

Magellan will launch the eXplorist GC handheld-hiking GPS device next month, targeting the increasingly popular geocaching community. The eXplorist GC will be priced aggressively at $200. A form of electronic treasure hunting, geocaching involves people hiding containers (often Tupperware) filled with trinkets, then logging its GPS coordinates at geocaching.com. Users can log in, seek caches in their area, and download coordinates and often clues to their handheld-hiking GPS. A fun activity t…

There’s not much doubt that this is the rarest find Curbside Classics, at least so far. And there it was, right under my nose, on Main Street. In fact, it’s so rare that I didn’t really recognize it at first. I’d caught a glimpse of it once before, in the back of a typical used [...]
