Yale University Breakthrough Research Source:  Yale School of Medicine - Pig Brain Cells Before (Left) and After (Right) May Lead to New Therapies for Brain Injuries and Stroke Experts in neuroscience are calling this research at Yale School of Medicine "mind blowing".  Results that put into question the fundamentals of neuroscience.  Yale neuroscientists have restored basic cellular activity in the brains of pigs 4 hours after they died.  Furthermore, the cells were able to maintain function for six hours.  Their hope is this research will lead to new therapies in treating human brain injuries and stroke that cause cells in the brain to die. BrainEX It took the scientists six years to create a system to do what was considered the impossible - bringing dead brain cells back to life.  They call it BrainEx.  They successfully used it on 300 dead pigs they acquired from a nearby pork processing plant.  The scientists say no animals were sa...

Yale Smart Security Source:  Yale  New System - All-in One Camera Security Yale is an old line lock manufacturer.  They just came up with some very interesting, new innovation in securing your home and pets.  They've introduced a home security, high definition camera.  They call it the "All in One Camera". This system is particularly designed for the front door where most break-ins occur.  But it also works indoors, for instance to monitor your pets. All in real-time through their system and apps to instantly watch and communicate with your home and pets when you are not there. Technology There's a lot of tech embedded in this new security system.  The camera has motion activated spotlights, night vision mode and audio capabilities.  The camera's motion detection system triggers an alert to a companion app.  It enables the homeowner to see who is at the door and talk to them via the system's embedded mike remotely. There is a siren ...

Yale's New Drone with Talons for Perching & Resting Source:  Yale University Greater Energy Efficiency The new drone developed by researchers at Yale University was inspired by birds.  They've equipped it with robotic talons that allow the drone to perch on ledges and even hang upside down.  The purpose is to conserve battery power.  It also provides the drone more access and enables it to perform more tasks.  For a great news blog, go to Important Innovations Collection: New Drone Perches Like Birds : Greater Energy Efficiency Yale's Drone with Landing Gear Nature Inspired UAV Researchers at Yale University have developed a UAV ...
