Uncontrolled hemorrhaging accounts for more than 30% of trauma deaths. To stop the bleeding, doctors often apply pressure to the wound and seal the site with medical glue. But what happens when applying pressure is difficult or could make things worse? Or the surface of the wound is too bloody for glue? Drawing inspiration from nature, researchers from 六合彩开奖结果 have developed a medical adhesive that could save lives, modeled after structures found in marine animals like mussels and flatworms.</p> Thu, 13 Oct 2022 13:15:08 +0000 webfull 183622 at /channels /channels/channels/event/films-transform-biggest-little-farm-2018-postponed-303635 <h3>The event has been postponed.

A wild bee buzzes through a farm, pollinating vegetables as it goes. Nearby, wetlands remove chemicals from the farm鈥檚 runoff, protecting a community drinking water source. In communities all around the world, nature鈥檚 contributions are constantly flowing to people. A team of international scientists including from 六合彩开奖结果, have mapped these contributions at local levels for years, but a new Stanford-led study closes a critical gap in how this information can be used to drive global policy and development.</p> Thu, 10 Oct 2019 18:28:47 +0000 webfull 154253 at /channels /channels/channels/news/study-invasive-predators-watch-prey-297577 <p> Wed, 05 Jun 2019 19:20:57 +0000 webfull 149747 at /channels /channels/channels/news/widespread-permafrost-degradation-seen-high-arctic-terrain-297371 <p>Rapid changes in terrain are taking place in Canada鈥檚 high Arctic polar deserts due to increases in summer air temperatures.</p> Wed, 22 May 2019 18:06:10 +0000 webfull 149500 at /channels /channels/channels/news/dou-proviennent-les-motifs-dans-la-nature-294541 <p><strong>Anja Geitmann</strong> adore les casse-t锚tes.
