Bivacor is working toward human trials of their artificial heart after the implant successfully kept a calf alive for 90-days, helping it stay healthy, energetic, and gain weight at a normal rate. It even jogged on a treadmill for 30-minute stretches. Artificial hearts have been discussed among cardiac surgeons and biomedical engineers for more than 50 years, but what makes Bivacor’s…

‘Paint’ and ‘WordPad’ Will Soon Become Optional Features In Windows 10
An anonymous reader quotes Neowin:
Both WordPad and the classic Paint app can now be found in the list of optional features for Windows 10, joining the ranks of other hallmarks of the Windows of yore, such as Windows Media Player and Internet Explorer.

New Electric Motor Design Massively Boosts Power, Torque, and Efficiency
A Texas-based, father/son team raised $4.5 million in seed funding to build “a remarkable electric motor technology,” reports New Atlas. Long-time Slashdot reader Namarrgon writes: Linear Labs’ impressive new circumferential flux motor design (video) uses four rotors [where other motors typically run one or two] and a software-reconfigurable, multi-coil stator, enclosed in a 3D magnetic “torque tunnel” to maximize efficiency even…
Landmark 2.80 Release of Open Source Blender 3D With Improved UI Now Available

Best Milky Way Map Yet Confirms Our Galaxy Is Warped and Twisted
Astronomers from the U.S. and Europe have put together a new 3D model of the galaxy based on the distance between stars and found that our galaxy is warped and twisted. “I’d say that it is shaped like a Pringle,” said study co-author Radek Poleski, an astronomer at Ohio State University in Columbus. CNET reports: The research, published Thursday in the…
Return to the moon? 3D printing with moondust could be the key to future lunar living

If we ever want to build permanent bases on the moon, or perhaps even Mars or beyond, then future astronauts will have to spend many more days, months and maybe even years in space without a constant lifeline to Earth. The question is how would they get hold of…
