WORLDKINGS - Daily Highlights - June 22, 2018 - EV street charger pops up when needed, sinks down when not
(Worldkings.org) With most major car manufacturers now invested in EV development, it looks like everyone but diehard petrol-heads will be quietly getting from A to B in electric cars in the near future.

(Worldkings.org) A team of researchers from the U.S. and Ireland have developed a device that can be used to deliver drugs directly to a damaged region of the heart. The capability has the potential to provide a direct therapeutic option to guide how the heart recovers following a heart attack, leading to improved cardiac function. As Ellen Roche, one of the authors of the paper appearing in Nature Biomedical Engineering, explains, “After a heart attack we could use this device to deliver therapy to prevent a patient from getting heart failure. If the patient already has some degree of heart failure, we can use the device to attenuate the progression.”
