Mushkin Announces ECO2 Memory
Mushkin has announced the launch of its newest memory line, the ECO2 Series, targeted towards "value-minded gamers and enthusiasts." The memory utilizes a low profile design for its high-grade aluminum silver and black heatsink. The memory runs at DDR3-1600 speeds with CAS Latency of CL9 or CL11 and an operating voltage of 1.35V. It will be available as single sticks of 4GB or 8GB and kits ranging from 8GB to 32GB. Director of Product Development Brian Flood described the new line stating, "The success of our ECO2 SSDs proved to us that users are not just looking for another run-of-the-mill SSD or memory module, which is why we developed something more efficient and cost-effective, and the new ECO2 memory line of modules where born."

New Gel to Stop Bleeding and Promote Healing
If there is one field research will always continue in, it is medicine where new materials and techniques are constantly being developed. This work could eventually lead to new cures and treatments for accelerating healing. One example of this is advanced hydrogels that can promote the healing of tissues, and now researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital have created one with the important property of being able to survive the flow of blood through it.
The hydrogel is a photocrosslinkable elastin-like polypeptide-based hydrogel, and as 'photocrosslinkable' suggests, the material reacts to light, forming strong, molecular bonds, which is important as it does not require any extra chemicals that could be toxic. It will then be digested by the body, and apparently without releasing any toxic chemicals, based on lab tests with living cells. Some other gels that are strong enough will become toxic as they degrade, and some biodegradable gels are too weak to endure blood flowing through them. The researchers also found that the light can be used to tune the hydrogel's strength and how much it swelled. It further was shown to be useable as a scaffold for cells to grow on and could contain silica nanoparticles, which can stop bleeding.
This one material could potentially help many lives, so the researchers are naturally looking forward to when it enters clinical trials, but much testing must be completed before then, to ensure it is safe to use in humans.

Microsoft Expected to Deliver New Windows 10 Build This Week
Just last week, it was reported that Microsoft released build 10159 of Windows 10 to its testing audience, with the company successfully eliminating over 300 bugs from the upcoming operating system. The next day, Microsoft revealed just how the upgrade path for Windows 10 would work and also released build 10162 of Windows 10, showing just how dedicated the technology giant is to perfecting its upcoming product. Now, reports have surfaced that while Microsoft is expected to finish the RTM build of Windows 10 on July 9, a new build is expected to be delivered sometime this week that will provide Windows 10 users with even more features and tweaks. Some of the explicitly noted changes will come in the form of the Xbox Music application now being called Groove and Xbox Video being titled Movies & TV.
It is unknown at this point in time if the new build of Windows 10 that Microsoft is expected to deliver amidst RTM preparation will come before RTM of after it.
