I always wondered why antibiotics are just dumped into the body with the hope for it to reach the target location. It seems like with the research mentioned below we could see targeted antibiotics in the future, which could lead to improvements in the efficiency of treatments if you know exactly where the bacteria is located.
"Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine...identified a novel strategy that can eliminate bacteria in a specific location before they cause an infection. The strategy uses a phage, a virus that infects and destroys bacteria, that can specifically locate in the same place the bacteria live in the gastrointestinal tract. The proximity between phage and bacteria facilitates the phage’s attack and subsequent elimination of the bacteria."
According to one of the researchers, Dr. Anthony Maresso: “We foresee the possibility that positional targeting will be the way smart drugs work in the future. Drugs won’t be just distributed all through the body in the hopes that some of it will end in the right spot. The drugs of the future will go only precisely where they are supposed to work. Our work with phages is the first case in which this has been achieved.”
Researchers at University Grenoble Alpes in France, have developed a single-quantum-dot heat valve. A device that can help to control the flow of heat in single-quantum-dot junctions.

"New Mercedes Screen Will Span Nearly Entire Width of Car, Regulates With AI" by Interesting Engineering
This episode is a snippet from episode 39 of the That's Cool News podcast.
Daimler's Mercedes-Benz has debuted an impressive new feature for its forthcoming electric luxury sedan: a large, curved screen spanning almost the full width of the car, called the MBUX Hyperscreen. It features an AI algorithm that will better suggest what the user would want at a specific time.
Do you think this will become a normal feature in all cars? Or will it be just for the Luxury EVs?

Water Desalination utilizing a membrane is the most efficient way to create clean drinking water from salt water. Researchers were able to make that process even more efficient with their discovery.
What do you think of this discover? Why isn't desalination more of a thing? Especially with areas that are in a drought or struggling to get clean water.
