Spermbot, a new hopes for infertile couples

Millions of couples struggling to have children, and a common cause of infertility mostly afflict women; for example egg quality is not good, uterine disorders, and age. However, approximately 20 percent of documented cases is 'sole male factor,' such as sperm in low numbers, abnormal shaped, or sluggish.

This is the 'Spermbot,' a magnetically controlled tiny motor like a corkscrew threaded to help propel lethargic sperms toward the target. Spermbot circling at the sperm tails, then pushed toward-and ideally into the eggs. (This happens in the privacy of medical clinics, instead of bedrooms.) 

In the future, this tiny motor developed by the German scientists team can play an important role in artificial insemination. So far, the spermbot only tested on sperm and egg cells of cattle (as in the picture) and have not managed to achieve fertilization. 

"The concept is interesting. But I admit I still skeptical," said Robin Fogle, an reproductive endocrinology expert and researcher at the Atlanta Center for Reproductive Medicine.

Head of research as well as the spermbot technician Oliver Schmidt admitted that the motor is not efficient and there are still many things to do before it's ready for human testing. However, with further improvement, he said, spermbot could give hope the pregnancy for infertile diagnosed couples. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES |SCIENCEMAG]

Another Kott's Falcon Blue 550

If we observed carefully the color of motorcycle below is similar with an 1964 Ford Falcon, whether the bike makes you fall in love at first sight? This beautiful classic café racer styled motorcycle is the creations of Kott Motorcycles based on the Honda CB550 engine.

The builder said that every build starts with a multitude of features and focal points, and sometimes to build the bike as a whole or just one of the features highlighted including the machine.

And this café racer styled custom motorcycle was built after the color theme resolved first, then mounted the front drum brake and the Italian slip on mufler. During the planning process design,the builder could find itself anything that will be installed with a special features until forming a good machine as expected.

As with all bikes built by Kott, the motorcycle was immediately disassembled for an overhaul. Then the next process include the fabrication of new fuel tank similar to the CB750SS tank.

The seat was made neatly, clean and tuck the downsized battery, and redesigned the wiring as well as charging system beneath it.

Installation of exhaust is also a challenge in the development process of a motorcycle to establish an aggressive angularity. The custom rearsets repositioned to match the angle of the new muffler.

Headlights are still using the original headlight bucket and adjusted its position with the custom headlight bracket. Its front drum brake was taken from the CB350, fork brace is arranged so that handling the bike more comfortable and accurate.

As the last touches, by using a mix of classic mid sixties color scheme silver/blue on the tank and tail combined with the color of leather seats red/brown. And this Kott custom motorcycle was later named as the Falcon Blue.

Is this the oldest observatory in the World?

An ancient site of the Australian Aborigines in a secret locations in the state of Victoria, Australia, is perhaps the oldest astronomical observatory in the world.

From a study revealed that the age of the site longer than the composition of the rocks of Stonehenge in England and the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. The scientists studying the composition of rocks named 'Wurdi Youang' explained that the age of the site can be more than 11,000 years and give a clue to the origins of agriculture.

Duane Hamacher, a natives leading expert in astronomy, conducted a research in cooperation with Aboriginal elders in these locations in order to reconstruct their knowledge of the stars and planets.

"Some academics refer to the composition of the rocks here as Australia's version of Stonehenge," said Dr. Hamacher.

"I think the question we might ask: whether the Stonehenge in Britain are the Wurdi Youang version? Because it could be much older age," he said.

These rocks are thought to have once marked the Sun's journey throughout the year. (Picture from: http://adf.ly/1evTQh)

If that site is older than seven thousand years, it will change the historical record as well as further afield would dispute the notion that the first Australian all hunters and gatherers were nomadic. The scientists also believe the composition of the rocks was able to map the movement of the sun throughout the year.

An Aboriginal elders, Reg Abrahams, said that the area around the observatory was apparently had a semi-permanent settlements with evidence the fishing and farming activities.

"If you make the arrangement of rocks that could mark the seasons of the year based on the solstice and equinox (phenomenon due to the false movement of the Sun crossed the equator), would make sense if in a year you spend more time in a particular location to do it," he said.

"If so, surely it makes sense if you are in the permanent sources of food and water," said Abrahams. He says there is an area that shows the location of trapping eels there is even a sign-dike embankment used for farming.

"You can find the practice of agriculture and aquaculture, so that evidence of agricultural activity is possible age for decades, predating what anthropologists call an early farming 11 thousand years ago in Mesopotamia," he explained.

Dr. Hamacher added, the first Australian in the early days has a complex knowledge systems. "They understand well the movement of the sun, moon, planets and stars throughout the year for a long period of time," he explained.

"Australians white people generally do not know that colonialism has erased all that. What we do now is to help people collect the information through cooperation with the public," he said.

An Aboriginal named Judy Dalton-Walsh said that the research on this site and Aboriginal astronomy intended that such knowledge can be inherited.

"In school we learn the European names for the stars and the Milky Way. Glad also because we know that traditionally even have a name for it. Our gods is up there in the stars," she said.. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ABC NEWS | SCIENCE ALERT]

Perhaps you need it at home

Technology innovation today is constantly creating new things that often make us wonder. Imagine how once we still have to bother to send a letter to the Post Office and also wash manually until our hands felt rough and irritation. Now? The communication becomes easier, as well as the clothes washing matters.

Yes, a washing machine can help us wash easily has long existed. But that's not going to be good news today. Because soon, not just to wash affairs that successfully handled by the technology, but also the ironing and folding clothes matters.

An American company has now launched a robot laundry folding machine with a height of approximately one meter which can help us to ironing and folding clothes are already dry after washing called 'FoldiMate'.

How it works is very simple. First, the robot will 'swallow' the various types of creases clothings into the machine. Within a few moments, the machine will 'pull out' those clothes with the state already folded, smooth and fragrant.

In doing so, this robot has a series of trays, each of which can clamp the clothes that are outside the machine. After pulling the clothes into the machine, the robot will detect the entered clothing type. Then a series of robot arms will start to fold the clothes. Not only in the folding course, FoldiMate also clever in smoothed the wrinkles by giving the steam when the clothes are processed out of the machine.

According to the company, it only takes approximately ten seconds to fold the clothes and can save between 15-20 pieces of clothing at the same time. As the final part, the clothes are processed to be pulled out from the machine within a neat pile.

In performing its duties, nothing is perfect so the FoldiMate. One of the drawbacks of this moment, the machine can not be folded several specific types of clothing, such as underwear and large-sized fabrics such as linen.

Basically the FoldiMate itself have a simple concept, and developed by a researchers team of robot experts who already have experience over the years. In 2014 ago, the commercial version of this engine was already there, but pre-orders for the household version will be released next year.

According to the company site, this machine will be sold at a price range of US. $700 to $850 or equivalent Rp.9.3 million to Rp.11.3 million. Although it will be released next year, there are now more than 15,000 people who lined up in the pre-order list. WOW!!

How about you? Are you interested to have this machine, too? Please get in the queue..! *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | FOLDIMATE]
