N95 Like Reusable Silicon Masks Is the Answer To PPE Shortage

A prototype of the iMASC, a new silicone mask that can be safely reused without fear of contamination.

As the pandemic rages, nurses and doctors have gone to creative extremes to reuse the same masks, gloves, and scrubs they need to treat contagious coronavirus patients. But if a prototype mask created by researchers proves widely effective, it may be a safer alternative for health care workers and that’s what researchers at MIT are trying to do so, reports CNN.

[Watch] Corona Alert! Apps To Trace Contacts While Preserving Privacy!

  • New apps from the likes of MIT, Google, and Apple rely on Bluetooth to automate the contact-tracing process, which health care professionals use to notify people who may have come into contact with a COVID-19 patient.
  • The idea is to proactively trace individuals’ movements so that if the person does eventually test positive, there’s a definitive way to track their previous whereabouts–and who else was nearby at the time.
  • While sound in theory, these apps will only work if a broad swath of the...

Oldendorff Signs Agreement With MIT On Ship Design To Achieve IMO 2030/50 Requirements

Fins

In our quest to make our vessels more green and economical, Oldendorff Carriers have signed a research agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA). Oldendorff, together with CBA and its campus collaborators including MIT’s Sea Grant Program, will investigate disruptive improvements in ship design and propulsion to achieve the IMO 2030/50 requirements.

The initial emphasis will be directed at improving hydrodynamic efficiency, which builds on...
