No More Dentists? Gel Regenerates Teeth

Dentist_1209024c
A new peptide, in gel or film form, allows cells inside teeth to regenerate inside the mouth within a month. Dentists will not have to do any more drilling, thanks to this innovative technology.

"It's not like toothpaste," which prevent cavities, said Nadia Benkirane-Jessel, a scientist at the Institut National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale and a co-author of a recent paper. "Here we are really trying to control cavities (after they develop)." The gel or thin film contains a peptide known as MSH, or melanocyte-stimulating hormone.

It could make trips to the dentist much more enjoyable, with less pain and discomfort. It also avoids crowns after a cavity is filled. Pow!

New Energy Source Funded by Google

Geothermaldrill
Geothermal energy is a clean, unlimited energy source that does not require certain weather conditions to work properly. Google has funded the development of a jet engine-inspired drill for geothermal drilling, which produces energy through super-heated water. In August, they will drill a 4-inch hole to 1,000 feet deep. If the procedure goes as planned, the price of geothermal energy will be more inexpensive.

Wyclef Jean's Wife Provides Haiti With Housing

Wyclef-wife-finds-nude-photo-of-manager-on-phone-500x403
More than three months after the January 12th earthquake, over 1 million Haitians still live in tents. With the rainy season approaching, Yele Haiti has taken a big step towards supplying housing for the people of Haiti. Spearheaded by Wyclef Jean's wife, temporary homes are being built to provide tenants with a dry and warm place to live.

The units are made of wood and cement with metal roofs and last several years, or until permanent housing becomes available. The temporary homes can also house up to six people, as they are 12 feet by 12 feet in size. Women and children will be the first ones to live in the facilities.

“They’re getting wet from the hard rains. The temporary houses have been tested and keep out rain, even on days and nights when it rains nonstop," says Claudinette. "“What we take for granted is so important to everyone."

Twestival 2010 Earns Over $450,000 for Worldwide Educational Efforts!

Twestival1

Twestival (Twitter Festival) is the largest global grassroots social media fundraising initiative to date, raising over $1.2 million within 14 months for 137 nonprofits. All of the events are organized by volunteers and 100% of the donations go directly to projects.

This year's earnings were over $450,000 for Concern Worldwide, which is an international NGO that helps fund educational projects all over the world. Founder Amanda Rose said that technology "offers a way for us to work efficiently, openly and encourage ownership of fundraising activities by allocating widgets which people can share and promote on other social media sites. You cannot fundraise on Twitter alone; you need a strong infrastructure behind the scenes which people trust in order to secure donations."

It's inspiring to see how technology can truly benefit the world in a positive way, in today's generation. Tweet on, Tweeters!
