WATCH: Israeli Company Testing Unpiloted Flying Ambulance

The drone ambulance, named AirMule can fly with up to 800 pounds of cargo in search and rescue operations.

By Lily Wilf, The Scroll

 
 
Israeli startup Urban Aeronautics is testing a flying ambulance drone they hope to release before 2020, Business Insider reports. The vehicle, which is called the AirMule, would be used to perform rescues in places like dense urban environments, where helicopter maneuvering is difficult. The AirMule is directed and controlled remotely and it can fly unpiloted with up to 880 pounds of cargo.

Tel Aviv Researcher Discovered Protein That Could Serve as Powerful Antibiotic

Israeli Researcher at Tel Aviv University’s Department of Clinical Microbiology and Immunology, Discovers Protein That Could Replace Conventional Antibiotics & Kill Bacteria.

By By NoCamels Team 

 

 

In the frantic “arms race” between bacteria and modern medicine, bacteria have gained an edge. In recent decades, bacterial resistance to antibiotics has developed faster than the production of new antibiotics, making bacterial infections increasingly difficult to treat. Scientists worry that a particularly virulent and deadly “superbug” could one day join the ranks of existing untreatable bacteria, causing a public health catastrophe comparable with the Black Death.

Switzerland, Canada & Israel are the U.S.’s Top 3 Innovation Partners

 

Of the 16 countries that had strong innovative tech companies, the USISTF found that Switzerland is America’s biggest innovation partner, followed by Canada & then Israel.

Despite the perennial myth of the lone genius, the fact remains that innovation depends on cooperation. And as technology becomes ever more complicated, improving that research requires larger and larger groups working together – including groups working across national borders.

USISTF report – Illustration source: Forbes

In an attempt to quantify that transnational cooperation, the US-Israel Science & Technology Foundation (USISTF) has created a “U.S.-Israel Innovation Index” to measure bilateral research and development between the U.S. Continue Reading »

The message from Israel is it can be done.

“Countries, just like people, are good at different things,” Singer told The Jerusalem Post.

“We’re not good at everything. We have certain strengths. It so happens that the strengths we have tend to match nicely with the weaknesses of other countries, and the strengths of those countries are things that we’re lacking.”
