Article: The Israeli team, for the first time ever, has won the International Math Competition, held this year in Bulgaria. The students were two Tel Aviv University students and 4 Technion students. Go Israel!
Article: Israeli scientists have created a brand new technology that closes open wounds quickly and temporarily to prevent them from further hurt or contamination until they can get to a hospital. TopClosure 3S Trauma Management System is for mass-casualty situations, like in war or natural disasters (Kids: what are some examples?) How wounds have traditionally been treated is that medics clean the wound and then suture it, applying a skin graft. TopClosure instead stretches the edges of the skin over the wound using adhesive plates on either side. This creates more tension, which is better for the wound. Later, the device can be "zipped" open to further treat the wound. (Kids: who can use TopClosure?) It is being most lauded for its simplicity. Click here for a video.
