Vital discovery for the Military-Face Shields as Brain shields

New discovery on Face Shields can protect military men by protecting their brain. New reports show how a face shield can protect your face as well as your brain. It turns out that a roadside bomb can alter an unprotected face and brain by the pressure and "shear waves". Recently, MIT's rocket scientist and a military brain expert teamed up and discovered that a face shield reduces the "blast waves". Reports by simulation and tests indicate that the waves can pass through soft tissued skin and pass directly to the brain. When they simulated a face shield, some of the stress waves that typically hurt the brain were diminished. This could prove helpful to U.S. soldiers by protecting them more than an ordinary helmet. I believe this breakthrough could help protect U.S. soldiers from serious damage to the brain.

The Revolutionary memory chip

Young scientist, Jun Yao, recently found a breakthrough in the nanoelectronic field. When Yao tried to create memory devices based on graphite for school, he realized that he could create "nanocrystalline pathways in silicon oxide", by supplying voltage. Small pulses of about 8 and 3.5 volts would continuosly break and repair the "pathways". This technique became helpful to the development of the "two-terminal resistive memory bit". This discovery may pave the way to a 3-D memory chip. He actually found out that a "strong pulse through a layer of silicon oxide sandwiched between semiconducting silicon would strip off oxygen atoms, creating the nanoscale bit between the terminals" that could be switched on and off by other pulses. This breakthrough has been explored previously, but only now is there resources to make it possible. This could lead scientists to more advanced research on the 3-D chip.
