Nano-sized robots manipulated using a magnetic field can help kill bacteria deep inside teeth to ensure the success of root canal treatments after the living tissue has been removed, scientists report. Root canal treatments are routinely carried out to treat tooth infections in millions of patients. The procedure involves removing the infected soft tissue inside the tooth, called the pulp, and flushing the tooth with antibiotics or chemicals to kill the bacteria that cause the infection. But many times, the treatment fails to completely remove all the bacteria – especially antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as Enterococcus faecalis – which remain hidden inside microscopic canals in the tooth called dentinal tubules. Now, scientists at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and IISc-incubated startup, Theranautilus, say they are close now to clinical trials of the new technology, which will use nanorobots to clean the dentinal tubules. Shanmukh Srinivas, research associate … [Read more...] about Tiny bots could deep clean teeth, say experts

A crackdown on espionage has been unveiled in the Queen’s Speech , with foreign agents suspected of helping hostile states such as Russia and China to face restrictions on their movements and contacts. A new National Security Bill will give the Home Secretary powers to issue civil orders to restrict spies’ ability to move around the country by placing curbs on where they can live, work, study or visit if there is insufficient evidence to prosecute them. Writing in The Telegraph, Priti Patel also said maximum jail sentences for spies would be increased from 14 years to life, alongside new offences to counter cyber attacks, interference in elections and the theft of trade secrets. Ministers have also rejected calls to give civil servants who leak secrets a public interest defence because of the damage it could cause to national security, even if the leaker believed it was justified. Citing the Salisbury poisoning by Russian agents and Chinese targeting of MPs, Ms Patel … [Read more...] about Foreign spies face life in prison, and all the other key points of the Queen’s Speech

ELLA BATES-HERMANS/STUFF How does the government Budget work and what does that mean for you? As Budget day looms, Kiwis tell us how they are getting by as the cost of living soars – and what they want from the Government on Thursday. Charnae Pyke – the beneficiary Where Pyke could once afford 1kg of mince a week to feed her family of five over several meals, she is now able to afford only half that portion. When a child needs shoes, the solo mum has to use Afterpay , which she pays back in $10 instalments every fortnight. She relies on freebies, second-hand clothes from friends, and budgets to the last cent – but it’s still not enough.

V olodymyr Zelensky said on Monday night Russia's large-scale offensive in the eastern Donbas region has begun. Fighting has intensified in eastern Ukraine after Russia withdrew troops from the region around the capital Kyiv and refocused its efforts on the Donbas region that pro-Moscow separatists have partly controlled since 2014. Ukraine's president said: "We can now confirm that Russian troops have begun the battle for the Donbas, which they have been preparing for a long time. A large part of the Russian army is now dedicated to this offensive. "No matter how many Russian soldiers are brought here, we will fight. We will defend ourselves." Shortly before Mr Zelensky's address, the regional governor of eastern Lugansk Serhiy Haidai also announced the beginning of Russia's much-anticipated attack. "It's hell. The offensive has begun, the one we've been talking about for weeks.

Taylor Swift is no stranger to performing in sold-out stadiums across the world, but on May 18, 2022, the Grammy-winning singer and songwriter was at one of the world's most famous stadiums for an entirely different reason. Swift was at the Yankee Stadium in New York to accept the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Fine Arts. She also delivered an inspiring commencement speech to her fellow graduates in the class of 2022. Also receiving honorary degrees alongside Swift were Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) President Emerita Susan Hockfield, and City University of New York (CUNY) Chancellor Félix V. Matos Rodríguez. Swift opened her speech by poking fun at herself, joking: "Last time I was in a stadium this size, I was dancing in heels and wearing a glittery leotard. This outfit is much more comfortable." Referring to her hit song "22" which was released in 2012, Swift joked: "The main reason I'm here is because I have a song called '22." She then proceeded to thank New … [Read more...] about Taylor Swift’s NYU Speech in Full

A new international study claims that watching nature programmes like Planet Earth II on TV makes you happier and reduces stress. The research, conducted with Professor Dacher Keltner, an expert in the science of emotion at the University of California, Berkeley, confirms that even short engagement with nature shows leads to significant increases in positive emotions including awe, contentedness, joy and amusement. The study also found those watching had substantial decreases in emotions such as nervousness, anxiety and fear. BBC Worldwide’s in-house research team collaborated with Professor Keltner, who oversees on a two-phased study. Over 7,500 participants from the US, UK, Singapore, India, South Africa and Australia were asked to complete a short survey to establish their mood state before being shown clips from the Planet Earth II series which is narrated by Sir David Attenborough .
