A new Destiny 2datamine of the most recent patch has community members speculating about the return of a key piece of technology from the original Destiny. It's a return that many Destiny 2 players are going to be surprised to hear about, because the story was seemingly wrapped up in the Destiny expansion Rise of Iron. The technology is, naturally, SIVA SIVA being the Bray-developed self-replicating nanotechnology initially used by Rasputin against the Iron Lords.

The datamine in question is very interesting to consider. It's a series of file references connected by the term "felwinter." The first such reference is "mission_felwinters_lie_scanning" and the subsequent references are "o_felwinter_coffin," "o_felwinter_resurrect," "o_felwinter_fight," and most importantly "o_felwinter_siva." This is the lone reference to SIVA that dataminers have found, but is nevertheless very intriguing.

RELATED: Destiny 2 Bringing Back OP Weapon from D1?

During Destiny, the Fallen House of Devils rediscovered SIVA after it being buried since the Golden Age. Lord Saladin then formed a new generation of Iron Lords to defeat the resurrected threat and was ultimately successful. The Destiny protagonist and crew defeated the SIVA-empowered Fallen and their SIVA replication chamber. While the Guardians reportedly had everything SIVA placed under quarantine, there have been hints that it wasn't fully contained.

The new datamine indicates something worse than a SIVA outbreak, if that can be believed. Felwinter, for those unfamiliar, was an Iron Lord. More than that, he was an Iron Lord which was particularly brutal toward his enemies. The chain of filenames being coffin, resurrect, SIVA, and then fight indicates that it's possible SIVA will be bringing the Golden Age Iron Lord back, but not as a friend.

As for what form SIVA and Felwinter will be revealed in, it's anyone's best guess. Some are predicting a surprise mission toward the end of the current season, or even an Exotic weapon quest. Others think SIVA and Felwinter have a bigger role to play and will be a part of the main story for next season. The datamine shows what's presumably just a single mission, so anything's possible.

Bungie's always revisiting old story beats and introducing new ideas in Destiny 2. It's both surprising and not that SIVA will be coming back, though the scale of SIVA's return is the biggest question. It could be a brief reminder of Destiny 2's Rise of Iron expansion or it could be building toward a major threat arriving in the near or far future. Add it to the list of exciting possibilities coming to Destiny 2 eventually.

Destiny 2 is available now on Google Stadia, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

A researcher at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) School of Medicine has been granted two awards from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop nanotechnology drug delivery systems for patients with breast cancer and those at risk of serious blood clots.

The R01 awards will be provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Heart Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to Nicole F Steinmetz, PhD, George J. Picha professor in biomaterials, member of the Case Comprehensive cancer Center and director of the Center for Bio-Nanotechnology at CWRU School of Medicine.

Nanoparticle engineering is an evolving field, with enormous potential in molecular imaging and therapeutics, stated Steinmetz. We are thrilled that the NIH is supportive of this new frontier in medicine.

From NCI, Steinmetz will receive a $2.2 million grant for the development of therapeutic nanotechnology specifically aimed at triple negative breast cancer patients. As triple negative breast cancer cells do not have surface receptors (commonly used by drug developers for therapeutic delivery) treatment options for about 15% of patients is limited.

Last year, Steinmetz and colleagues found virus-like particles from a plant virus (cowpea mosaic virus) that can stimulate the immune system to fight tumours and prevent outgrowth of metastasis. With the funding, Steinmetz and colleagues will explore the mechanisms behind the anti-tumour effects and develop dual-pronged therapeutic approaches through drug delivery strategies.

These plant virus-like particles have cancer fighting qualities on their own, but they can also be used as vehicles to encapsulate therapeutics, such as chemo- and immune drugs to synergise and potentiate the cancer immunotherapy, Steinmetz added. With the new grant, we will test whether combining the particles with breast cancer medications can combat breast cancer in mice.

Separately, the NHLBI will award $2.6 million for the development of nanotechnology to identify deep vein thromboses before they become fatal. We are developing a biology-derived plant virus nanotechnology, here using the tobacco mosaic virus, for molecular imaging and drug delivery, Steinmetz continued. The non-invasive MRI approach will allow us to gain molecular information about the thrombus, therefore, aiding prognosis. By integrating imaging and therapeutic capabilities, our approach will help diagnose patients, treat the disease and monitor disease progression over time.

The grants will be awarded this summer and will last for five years. If the projects are successful, they will be eligible for renewal.

Extras Terri Seymour sat down with Vin Diesel to talk about his new superhuman movie, Bloodshot.

Vin plays Marine Ray Garrison, who is reborn after he and his wife are assassinated. Using nanotechnology, a team of scientists turns him into a superhuman, biotech killing machine called Bloodshot.

Diesel described it as a different take on the superhero genre, adding, this was a really dynamic character that both evoked fear and empathy at the same time. Its so emotional at the core and yet it was fulfillment of discovering that you have superhero-like powers.

Its only the second pre-existing character I have played, he said. Groot being the first.

So how does he feel about playing a comic book character? I have been hearing from the hardcore fans; they are so happy.

Terri noted the action in the film, and Vin shared, This film did call for a more rigorous combat training and choreography, to the point there were injuries before we started filming.

The fight coordinator was fresh off working on John Wick, he says, and was trying to design a fight style that incorporated the rage of Bloodshot.

Vin is a tough, healthy guy, so whats his take on the coronavirus? Its a good reminder for everyone to sanitize and be a lot more mindful My first impulse is this is a time the whole world needs to come together.

His also offered his take on Fast 9, calling it incredible.

As for the female version of the franchise, he teased, Everything is coming along.

Bloodshot opens in theaters March 13.

Two University of Southern Queensland (USQ) researchers, whose work is said to have the potential to revolutionise manufacturing, have been awarded a total of $480,000 in Advance Queensland Industry Research Fellowship funding to help drive their research into materials innovations.

Queenslands Innovation Minister Kate Jones awarded nanotechnology researcher Dr Leila Javazmi $180,000 towards her work on nanobers (strings with a diameter of 100 nanometres or less). Because of their size and properties, nanobers can be used in tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, and products such as protective clothing and energy storage.

Javazmi will use graphene nanobers to create low-cost and high-efficient sensors for the multi-billion dollar composites manufacturing industry. The university says her research has the potential to revolutionise manufacturing in Queensland.

The smart sensors will monitor the structural health, including detecting defects, of materials during the production process as well as their service life, Javazmi said.

The sensors will initially be applied in civil infrastructure projects using advanced composite materials, such as roads and bridges.

USQ has the only pultrusion line of Australian universities, as well as the advanced electrospinning apparatus, designed by Javazmi, which draws out minuscule threads from a material using an electric charge.

Javazmi will work with industry organisations Wagners CFT and Graphene Manufacturing Group to further her work.

Civil engineering professor Allan Manalo has been awarded $300,000 towards developing a non-corrosive alternative to steel-reinforced concrete for stronger, more durable jetties and boat ramps. The research builds on earlier work into using glass fiber composite to reinforce concrete beams and planks.

Structures reinforced with composite polymer bars can outperform galvanised steel in marine environments, and it takes less labour to manufacture, Manalo said.

The Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads will use the new technology in boating infrastructure projects. Inconmat Australia will manufacture and supply the new material, and Gympie-based SkillCentred Queensland will install the infrastructure.

NIOSH: Nano- and Microplastics in the Workplace - The National Law Review

Added on January 31, 2020The News Wheelcar protectant , car sealant , ceramic car coating , ceramic coating , ceramic coating car paint , should I get a ceramic coating for my car , wax vs sealant , what is ceramic coating , why does ceramic coating cost so much , why is ceramic coating so expensive

This article is sponsored by Schmicko.

Ceramic coating, also known as nano-ceramic coating, acts as an additional layer of protection for your car. The ultra-fine, thin coating is manually applied over cars by hand and uses nanotechnology to seal the entire surface, making it water-repellant. Not only does it protect your car from water, but it also helps prevent damage from UV rays, chemicals, excessive heat, scratches, dirt, and other kinds of heavy pollutants. Its almost like a glass-like barrier for your vehicle, meaning it can take damage and pressure much better than a non-coated vehicle. Its not new either; it has been used by the military for years thanks to its protective properties and was only recently introduced to the auto industry.

The biggest benefit of ceramic coating is its effective protection against pollutants and dirt that attack your cars paint, which make it look older in a relatively short period (and can be very costly if left unattended). Four other benefits include:

Compared to other types of layers that you add to your cars paint, ceramic coatings last the longest; it remains intact for years. Some brands even offer ceramic coating services with a warranty to support these claims. As a result, you get an all-time shine and gloss over your car for a long period of time, removing the need to wax your car on a regular basis.

A layer of ceramic coating protects your car from a lot of thingsranging from corrosive chemicals to color fading due to extreme heat during summer.You might be surprised to know that wateritself can cause damage to your car. As the paint absorbs moisture from theatmosphere or when water particles remain on the surface, it eventuallyevaporates. Whats left behind are water spots leaving salt, dirt, and mineraldeposits that soon solidify and etch into the paintwork. Beingsuper-hydrophobic, ceramic paint protection significantly assists withrepelling these water spots, which can often appear on both your paint andwindows.

Ceramic coatings also offer protection from chemicals and pollutants produced by gasoline, brake fluid, generic cleaners, etc. With just a layer ceramic coating, your paint doesnt wear off over time. It also acts as a protective barrier against UV rays, which tend to be the most dangerous for your car, as such rays oxidize the paint and causes it to fade. And while things like bird droppings or tree sap might sound harmless, these pollutants actually etch deeper into your cars paint, causing near permanent damage.

Ceramic coatings act as a shell against scratches. However, this does not mean that your car becomes completely immune to them; the probability of it getting scratched simply decreases by a large margin. It saves your car from everyday scratches like from parking lots, bushes, bikes, etc.

The most popular reason for ceramic coatings is its ability to improve the gloss and shine of your cars paint, keeping its appearance looking as good as new. As the coating prevents the build-up of dirt and pollutants, cleaning the car becomes easier to maintain. You will notice a significant difference when it comes to washing the car, as it feels a lot smoother when you glide across from panel to panel to clean.

If you are looking to get the ceramic coating done from the same car dealership you bought your car from, you may want to do some additional research. Most car dealers that offer ceramic coating services do so at higher prices and usually have low-quality products. Using a professional ceramic coating company is advised and highly recommended, as car detailing experts will be highly experienced in applying with great precision and skill.

While there are a number of DIY ceramic coating kits available, itsnot recommended to use them. Since youll likely have no prior experience, itcan be very easy to mess it all up and end up costing more than you originallyplanned to fix it. Once applied, ceramic coating is very difficult to removebecause it becomes semi-permanent. Not to mention, you cant just use a paintbrush to add ceramic coating to your car without any preparation.

Another reason why you should opt for professional services is that DIY products are usually cheaper and of lower quality. Professional grade ceramic coating uses high-quality products and can only be applied by professionals. Many ceramic coatings will react differently to each other, which can be influenced by environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, so if you are not confident about what you are doing, its best to leave it to the experts.

Car wax and paint sealants are often used as alternatives to ceramic coatings. However, they are usually much cheaper and ineffective compared to ceramic coatings. So in reality, they arent true direct alternatives theyre just cheaper and less effective.

While wax offers average durability and sealants offer intermediate durability, ceramic coatings tend to provide excellent durability in comparison to the rest. It keeps your vehicles exterior in its best condition for years. Wax works well for roughly a month or so and sealants are good for about a couple of months. On the other hand, ceramic coatings work perfectly for a few years, depending on their quality.

As ceramic coatings are based on advanced nanotechnology, they have proved to be the most effective protectant compared to wax and sealants. Remember that ceramic paint protection provides an element of hardness (9H Hardness), a property that is virtually non-existent in any wax or sealant. When you apply ceramic coating, it hardens into a glass-like element and provides hard protection unlike no other alternative on market.

You need not worry about maintenance with ceramic coating. By simply wiping the surface of your car now and then, it will stay in great condition. It also saves you the trouble of applying regular hydrophobic coatings, as well as any additional protection that wax and sealants require.

Going through the above discussion must have given you an idea for why ceramic coatings can be costly. To break it down simpler, here are the two main reasons why this investment is well worth the cost:

As ceramic coatings work for longer years compared to its alternatives, it costs more. It requires high-quality products and uses advanced technology; a layer of ceramic coating is worth thousands of dollars.

From its glossy appearance to the protection of paint from water,chemicals, pollutants, UV rays and scratches, ceramic coatings offer a varietyof benefits.

Ceramic coatings are definitely a good choice if you want to keep your car in good condition. It makes your car durable and keeps it protected, and saves you from high maintenance costs in the long term.

LAUTECH VC wants special funding for Nanotechnology research - The Nation Newspaper

Despite recent advances in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(RA) attributed to biologic medications, only a minority of patients achieve andmaintain disease remission without the need for continuous immunosuppressive therapy.1Complicating the treatment of RA further is the development of tolerance over timeor failure of patients to respond to currently available therapies.1Thus, the development of new treatment strategies for RA remains a priority.

Nanotherapies for RA have received increasing attention in the past decade because they offer several potential advantages compared with conventional systemic therapies.2 Nanocarriers are submicron transport particles designed to deliver the drug at the site of inflammation the synovium thereby maximizing its therapeutic effect and avoiding unwanted systemic adverse effects.1 This targeted drug delivery approach also has the potential to minimize the amount of drug required to control joint inflammation3 and increase local bioavailability by protecting it from degradation in the circulation.1

In essence, nanotechnology enables the redesign of alreadyeffective rheumatologic medications into nanoformulations that may confer greaterspecificity, longer therapeutic effect, and more amenable safety profile.4Nanoencapsulated nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs),5 liposomaland polymeric preparations of glucocorticoids,6 and nanosystems thatdirectly inhibit angiogenesis are just several examples of nanotherapies that havebeen tested in experimental models of inflammatory arthritis.7

Despite the promising findings observed in studies to date, further development and subsequent integration of nanotherapies in the management of RA remains hampered by the lack of efficacy and toxicity studies in humans. In an interview with Rheumatology Advisor, Christine Pham, MD, chief of the Division of Rheumatology at the Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis, discussed the advantages and challenges of applying nanotherapies in RA.

RheumatologyAdvisor: How can nanotechnology be applied in the treatment of RA?

ChristinePham, MD: Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary approach aimed at the deliveryof therapeutic agents using submicron nanocarriers. In RA, the vessels at the siteof inflammation are leaky, allowing passage of these nanocarriers from the circulationto specific target sites in the joint environment.

RheumatologyAdvisor: Which RA drugs are suitable forthis approach?

DrPham: Many conventionalantirheumatic drugs such as methotrexate, glucocorticoids, and NSAIDs have beensuccessfully delivered by nanocarriers to mitigate inflammatory arthritis in experimentalmodels.

RheumatologyAdvisor: Whatare the main advantages of using nanotherapy/nanocarriers, as opposed to systemictherapy, in the treatment of RA?

DrPham: The mainadvantages are selective drug delivery to desired sites of action through passiveor active targeting, which can lead to increased local bioavailability and potentiallycan reduce unwanted off-target side effects. In addition, nanocarriers may increasethe solubility of certain drugs and protect therapeutics against degradation inthe circulation.

RheumatologyAdvisor: Howfar has the medical community gotten in developing (and testing) nanotherapies forRA? Which nanotherapies have shown the most promise?

DrPham: A numberof nanotherapeutics have been developed and tested in animal models of RA. Mosthave shown disease mitigation, however, none has so far made it to the clinic.

RheumatologyAdvisor: Whatneeds to happen before nanotherapies can get fully integrated into clinical practiceand treatment of patients with RA?

DrPham: Insufficientdata regarding long-term toxicity and optimal therapeutic efficacy have hamperedtheir integration into clinical practice. Anticytokine biologics have been verysuccessful, so nanotherapeutics need to show clearly that they have higher efficacyand lower toxicity for pharmaceutical companies to invest in their development forthe clinic.

Rheumatology Advisor: Are any other promising treatment strategies for RA currently under investigation?

DrPham: RNA interference(RNAi) has recently emerged as a specific way to silence gene expression. The invivo delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA), however, remains a significant hurdle,given the short half-life of the molecule in the circulation. We have used a self-assemblingpeptide-based nanosystem that protects the siRNA from degradation when injectedintravenously and which has shown to mitigate experimental RA.8,9 siRNAworks by knocking down NFkappaB p65, asubunit of NF-kappa-B transcription complex which plays acentral role in inflammation in general and in RA in particular. This platform promisesto have real translational potential.

The Weill Family Foundation, University of California, Berkeley (Berkeley), University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the University of Washington (UW) launched the Weill Neurohub with a $106 million gift. The Neurohub will be a multi-functional collaboration to improve the development of new treatments for diseases of the brain and nervous system.

The gains in knowledge amassed by neuroscientists over the past few decades can now be brought to the next level with supercomputers, electronic brain-computer interfaces, nanotechnology, robotics, and powerful imaging tools, said Sanford I. Sandy Weill, chairman of the Weill Family Foundation. The Neurohub will seize this opportunity by building bridges between people with diverse talents and training and bringing them together in a common cause: discovering new treatments to help the millions of patients with such conditions as Alzheimers disease and mental illness.

In addition to academic investment, the Neurohub will leverage the expertise and resources of the 17 National Laboratories managed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The DOE and the Weill Family Foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding in August 2019 to create a new public-private partnership.

That partnership is studying the use of the DOEs artificial intelligence (AI) and supercomputing capabilities with the Bay Area universities and the private sector, to further research into traumatic brain injury (TBI) and neurodegenerative diseases.

Secretary of Energy Rick Perry, who is leaving the position by the end of the year, led the creation of an AI and Technology Officer during his tenure at DOE. We are on the cusp of great discoveries that could transform our approach to TBI, Alzheimers disease, and other neurological and psychiatric disorders, Perry said, and easing access to the world-class computational power of our National Laboratories to initiatives like the Weill Neurohub is a win-win for science and the public sectorand, eventually, for patients.

The Neurohub will offer funding for faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students at the UW, Berkeley, and UCSF, including funding for high-risk/high-reward research that is less likely to find funding through conventional sources. However, the majority of the funding will support highly novel cross-institutional projects built on one or more of four scientific pillars that Weill Neurohub leaders have deemed priority areas.

Those four pillars are imaging, engineering, genomics and molecular therapeutics, and computation and data analytics.

The UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences was established in 2016 with a $185 million gift from the Weill Family Foundation and Joan and Sandy Weill. Their funding of neurosciences now exceeds $300 million.

The UCSF Weill Institute set out to break down walls between the clinical disciplines of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry, and also bring these clinical specialties together with the basic neurosciences, said Stephen Hauser, the Robert A. Fishman Distinguished Professor of Neurology and Weill Institute director. Now, with the Weill Neurohub, were going even further: eliminating institutional boundaries between three great public research universities, and also other disciplinary walls between traditional neuroscience and non-traditional approaches to understanding the brain. By embracing engineering, data analysis, and imaging science at this dramatically higher levelareas in which both Berkeley and the UW are among the best in the worldneuroscientists on all three campuses will gain crucial tools and insights that will bring us closer to our shared goal of reducing suffering from brain diseases.

Hauser and Berkeleys Ehud Udi Isacoff, the Evan Rauch Chair of Neuroscience, will be co-director of the new Weill Neurohub. They will be joined on the Weill Neurohubs Leadership Committee by Tom Daniel, the Joan and Richard Komen Endowed Chair and professor of biology at the UW.
