Google Patents Tearable Display Technology and Other Future

Today in Future Tech - Google Patents Tearable Display Technology, New Antibodies Make Monkeys HIV-Free for 6 Months

From tearable displays to being HIV-proof for 6 months, we’ve got a lot of future tech lined up for today. Let’s get started.

Google Patents Tearable Display Technology

If you’re ever in a situation when a friend is showing you a video on his tablet and you wanted to watch it as well, wouldn’t it be amazing if you could tear away a part of his tablet and keep on viewing the same video? Google’s new patent might be the answer.

Google has patented a type of technology that allows “methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for presenting content on tearable displays.” Reading from their patent introduction, the company envisions a device with a tearable display in which a user first tears off part of a device and can view content on the portion that is torn off. It works as the device senses a tear through a broken circuit along magnetic fasteners, combined with a strain sensor to detect separation of the tear.

Although the patent is detailed, Google has yet to be awarded the patent application for this type of technology. It is a futuristic technology, nonetheless.

New Antibodies Make Monkeys HIV-Free for 6 Months

Globally, almost 36.9 million people are infected with HIV, yet, try to continue living their lives normally. But, this might change with new medical research surfacing every day. In a remarkable breakthrough, researchers have created antibodies that allows monkeys to be HIV-proof for 6 months.

After lab-purification of 4 different types of antibodies produced naturally by humans, the researchers injected macaque monkeys with the low doses and were surprised by the results. They found that some monkeys remained HIV-proof for as long as 6 months.

“This study is the first one to show that a single administration of these monoclonal antibodies can prevent infection, prevent disease, and might be a viable alternative for a vaccine against HIV. That’s a new finding,” says Malcolm Martin, Researcher at the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and Director of the Viral Pathogenesis and Vaccine Section, who co-authored the study.

EHang’s Flying Drone to be Used for Organ Delivery

EHang, the Chinese company that built the first autonomous flying drone that can carry humans over 16km at a speed of 100kmph, has partnered with Lung Biotechnology PBC to use 1,000 of their UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) to automate the organ transplant delivery system in line with the Manufactured Organ Transport Helicopter (MOTH) system.

“The well-known locations of transplant hospitals and future organ manufacturing facilities makes the EHang technology ideal for Highway-In-The-Sky and Low-Level IFR Route programs. We anticipate delivering hundreds of organs a day, which means that the MOTH system will help save not only tens of thousands of lives, but also many millions of gallons of aviation transport gasoline annually,” says Martine Rothblatt, Chairman and CEO of Lung Biotechnology.
