Huge fuel spill inside Arctic Circle
Huge fuel spill inside Arctic Circle 150 150 EvoSmart

Vladimir Putin has ordered a state of emergency after 20,000 tonnes of diesel fuel spilled into a river inside the Arctic Circle.

The spill occurred when a fuel reservoir at a power plant near the city of Norilsk collapsed on Friday.

The plant is operated by a division of Nornickel, whose factories in the area have made the city one of the most heavily polluted places on Earth.

During a video conference on Wednesday that was broadcasted on television, Putin lambasted the head of the Nornickel subsidiary that owns the power plant, NTEK, after officials said the company failed to report the incident.

Carbon air-filter design could capture and destroy Covid-19 particles
Carbon air-filter design could capture and destroy Covid-19 particles 150 150 EvoSmart

Researchers have developed a new carbon-based material that captures and destroys an animal c犀利士 oronavirus, a close relative of the SARS-CoV-2 virus strain that causes Covid-19.

Created by scientists and engineers from Cambridge in the UK and Ma’alot-Tarshiha in Israel, the ‘active virus filter’ – in the form of a thin carbon nanotube mat (‘TorStran’) – has the filtration and air permeability properties that allow it to capture free virus molecules and those contained in airborne aerosolised droplets.

According to its developers, both filtration and virus disruption take place at the same time, allowing the filter to reduce the risk of infection by removing contamination from the air. The team envisage it being particularly useful in confined situations such as emergency vehicles, hospitals, transportation, waiting areas and wards.

Cancer lab on chip to enable widespread screening, personalized treatment
Cancer lab on chip to enable widespread screening, personalized treatment 604 648 EvoSmart

 A new generation of pathology labs mounted on chips is set to revolutionize the detection and treatment of cancer by using devices as thin as a human hair to analyze bodily fluids.

The technology, known as microfluidics, promises portable, cheap devices that could not only enable widespread screening for early signs of cancer but also help to develop personalized treatments for patients, said Ciprian Iliescu, a co-author of a review of microfluidic methods for cancer analysis published in the journal Biomicrofluidics, from AIP Publishing.

“If you isolate some cells and expose them to drug candidates, you can predict the response of the patient in advance,” said Iliescu, a researcher at IMT-Bucharest in Romania. “Then you can track how the tumor is evolving in response to treatment.”

The devices scan blood, saliva or urine for certain cells, proteins or tissue that are produced by tumors and then spread throughout the body.

The use of fluids as a liquid biopsy, instead of a conventional solid biopsy from a tumor, has many advantages. It is less invasive, reducing patient discomfort, and also provides information about hard-to-access tumors, such as in unborn children.

Because the biological clues, or biomarkers, of cancer end up in the bloodstream, a liquid biopsy can give insights to genomic state of all cancer in the body, including at its primary 犀利士 site and if it has spread. The authors call these insights understanding the “global molecular status of the patient.”

The biggest challenge is the diversity of cancer. Each of the more than 100 known cancers have their own biomarkers, which the authors classify into four categories: cellular aggregates (circulating tumor microemboli); free cells (circulating tumor cells, circulating endothelial progenitor cells and cancer stem cells); platelets and cellular vesicles (exosomes) and macro- and nanomolecules (nucleic acids and proteins).
