flying labs. bicycles made up would. innovative ideas stretch our minds and break with routine many new ideas are sustainable like clothing made of move five is. we present another green invention and the man behind it. shopping online may be convenient but it's not good for the environment just look at all the cardboard packaging that gets thrown away many of the boxes are made from recycled paper but most also contain new wood material that hoover dunoon is company near bonn has come up with an alternative his boxes are made of. hay. there are various advantages fields of grass grow faster than forests plus extracting the plant fibers requires far less water energy and chemicals. in the shop floor and outside i started looking at the issue some time ago and wondered how you can make paper production more sustainable with fewer c o two emissions the idea was trees need a lot of natural adhesive inside them to grow so high that it he's if he's called ligny it has to be chemically removed so i looked at plants that grow c

in the lab. would you eat meat grown in the lab another twitter survey fifty six percent of respondents said yes. forty four percent rejected the idea of cultured meat. simply our stuff facebook friends how they feel about meat from the bara tree. plenty no more says it's amazing. but for some reason she suddenly lost half its height. there's now bennett says she wouldn't hesitate to meet. the teen a campus that would be interested in trying it and thinks it might be better than beacon meat substitutes made from soy that she says it's probably still too expensive. brought in daycare also calls left grannies amazing but asks if it can be produced on a large scale. our course has moved. on what looks like an innocuous snack could turn out to be the most revolutionary ticket in human history. the summer of twenty thirteen saw the global debut of the laboratory grown hamburger in london. the official tasting was broadcast live on television produced without killing without factory farming without har

consumers will think of meat cultivated in the lab. and the test students and staff of master at university were asked to taste to hamburgers they were told one was grown in the lab while the other was produced using conventional methods with the test subjects even eat the lab grown meat patty with a tasty difference. you know i think it tasted just like an old one hundred i couldn't tell any difference between the two the consistency was i suppose you'd say slightly dutch we all you know in holland after all the meat was very finely ground first i thought that was because it was fake but the normal hamburger afterwards was exactly the same. in reality. the test subjects were given two conventional hamburgers to try it would have been too expensive to use lap grown meat but the real aim of the test was to find out if there was any prejudice against it the test indicated that many would be open to the idea of lab grown meat because they consider it better for animal welfare the environment and human health but it'll be some time before

so here you see one of the make here in the lab the spawn just. grown so poor this is where we'll see it then start to. create mathematics and we'll start to form the tissue. but it's not only about producing a good imitation of real meat there's also the question as to whether consumers would be willing to buy. get. back to my strict. not only roland meter are part of mark post's research group they're working on lab grown hamburgers they want to know what consumers will think of meat cultivated in the lab. and the test students and staff of mastic university were asked to taste two hamburgers they were told one was grown in the lab while the other was produced using conventional methods with the test subjects even eat the lab grown meat patty when they tasted a difference. you know i think it tasted just like an old one hundred i couldn't tell any difference between the two the consistency was i suppose you'd say slightly dutch we are in holland after all the meat was very finely ground a first i thought that was because it was fake but the norm

medicine and obviously down in jefferson lab in nor folk they are, the particle lab, said the science that has gone on that has the ability to really improve the scientific side of the health community in using a nuclear medicine they are. it is one thing that i would invite you to do, senator, better yet, let me send them to you and i would love to have my active program that we were just now standing up, that is focused on veterans mental health. and it's not just veterans. it's also our first responders. the nfl is going to be intrigued with this as well our olympic athletes for that matter of a mother who's got a daughter who plays soccer. any place where concussions can come into place. we are using our massive computing capacity at the national labs, typically in your district for that purpose and i would love for them to come up and brief you so you have a really good handle on this because i know your love for servicemen and women in veterans as well as the science on this can change some people's worlds in a really positive way. >> thank you. i do appreciate the increases in

bell labs, let's see, what do they invent the fax machine, they coinvented the laser, touchtone dialing, long-distance phone calls, they won six nobel prizes during the century while doing it and they also home to people like claude shannon. one of the exciting things about cell is that they published a full academic journal for most of the 20th century. all of us probably are familiar with companies who have blogs and websites and newsletters but they published a full academic journal for most of the 20th century and it's in this journal into parts in the fall of 1948 that claude shannon publishes what then called mathematical theory application. a year later once a theory has become physically accepted the theory it was related to the theory of mathematical negation. is a two-part paper totaling 77 pages anywhere, largely in private course of ten years which is why when it published one of the things his colleagues remarked was it came like a bomb and it was completely unexpected and it lands and people know that it's done something era defining and they recognize the rigor in their w

so bell lab, you know, let's see, what did they invent? they invented the fax machine, co-invented the laser, touch tone dialing, long distance phone calls, and they won six nobel prizes during the 20th century while doing it. oh, and they also were home to people like claude shannon. one of the extraordinary things about bell is that they actually publish a full academic journal for most of the 20th century. all of us are probably familiar with companies who have blogs and web sites and newsletters, but they actually publish a full academic journal for most of the 20th century. and it's in this journal in two parts in the fall of 1948 that claude shannon publishes what is then called a mathematical theory of communication. a year later, once that theory has become basically accepted as the theory, the title is rename to the theory of mathematical communication. and it was a two-part paper totaling 77 personal injuries. he work -- pages. he worked on in private which is why one famous remark from his colleagues is it came like a bomb. it w

peter: does dell labs still exist? jimmy: bell labs still does exist and they were generous and opening up their archives, letting us poker around the place to learn some things about his time there. there is still extraordinary work being done there. they all, i think they recognize their place in history and claude shannon is only one part of that history. they are one of the six sites around the country where there is a claude shannon statute. they see him as a towering figure who they were grateful to have within their ranks. they also, bell labs also contributed to claude shannon's life. it exposed him to people and ideas he might not have gotten country.in thecontributed peter: in your book you write that it is not the internet that is unnatural, nor are feats of information, but the refusal to consider whether origins are, how and why they are here, where they sit and the flow of history. is this a reference to the fact that claude shannon is not a well-known name? jimmy: it is. it is really what motivated the b

the lab at the sanatorium is able to determine if a strain is resistant to the antibiotic we found this and it's one of the most effective anti tuberculosis drugs on the markers. she is in the computer controlled tests can produce results within a few hours but in order to know if it's resistant to other drugs they have to take bacterial cultures that take several weeks. using genetic testing it's possible to decode the pathogens genome in a matter of days but that's expensive and to date there are only four devices in all of ukraine that can do this the lab here is still waiting to get one. of the questions remain as to why this multi resistant strain is so prevalent in ukraine. besides the problem with people not sticking to the full course of treatment experts point to the country's overstretched health care system. patients like these here employer car are too often housed in cramped quarters. this has drawn widespread criticism. we still have people sharing rooms with your patients aren't isolated and have too much contact with each other. in this environment you can imagine how ea
