‘Super cot’ uses Formula One technology to keep babies safe


A “super cot” has been created with Formula One-inspired technology to transport babies safely.
The unit, which can withstand a  g-force of 20 in a crash, was made using the same technology, materials and design that protect racing drivers.
Advanced Healthcare Technology worked with Williams Advanced Engineering, part of the Williams Group, which runs a leading Formula One team, to create the Babypod 20.
The Children’s Acute Transport Service, based at Great Ormond Street Hospital, has tested the pod and AHT design director Mark Lait said: “The Babypod provides the security and warmth that a newborn needs, at a fraction of the cost of an incubator.
"We have taken the existing Babypod product and worked with AHT to create a device that is not only more compact and user-friendly but, crucially, can be scaled up in its production so that more hospitals can benefit from this Formula One-inspired technology.”
AHT design director Mark Lait, added: “Using the same technology, materials and design features that protect Formula One racing car drivers from injury during a crash, the revolutionary Babypod provides the security and warmth that a newborn needs, at a fraction of the cost of a standard transport incubator, in a package that is light, easy to handle, and can attach to any transport stretcher currently available.”

Seawater is the secret to long-lasting Roman concrete

Roman piers and other harbour structures built using an ancient cement mix have lasted for millennia. Ancient Romans built concrete sea walls that have withstood pounding ocean waves for more than 2,000 years. Now, an international team has discovered a clue to the concrete’s longevity: a rare mineral forms during chemical reactions between the concrete and seawater that strengthen the material. Structural engineers might be able to use these insights to make stronger,  more-sustainable concrete , says team leader Marie Jackson, a geologist at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. She and her colleagues report their findings on 3 July in  American Mineralogist 1 . In earlier work, Jackson and colleagues reported some of the unusual chemistry of Roman concrete, such as the presence of a rare mineral known as aluminium tobermorite 2 . For the new study, the scientists took samples of Roman harbour concrete to the Advanced Light Source, an X-ray synchrotron ...

5 Dating Tips for Straight Girls From a Gay Guy

Hey girls, let’s talk. For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of playing the role of gay best friend to many intelligent, funny and gorgeous women throughout my career as a practicing homosexual. Gay guys and straight gals have a special bond due to our common interests (e.g. men) and our lack of desire to sleep with one another. On the flip side, gays have a unique relationship with our straight male buddies because we are not in competition with them for you. As a result, straight guys often gab with us about the stuff girls do that cost them a call back. This article may be in violation of bro code, but I’m going to share some intel anyway. Consider yourself warned: gross generalizations will be made. Shut The F**k Up Sometimes Women talk a lot more than men. Science backs it up. According to a University of Maryland  study , women utter more words per day—about 20,000 to men’s 7,000. Listen, it’s not your fault you developed language and reading skills ...
