Man who fought off Belfast knifeman with hurling stick named

Maitiu Mag Tighearnan said he was there by chance and managed to ‘protect a young lad’

A man who used a hurling stick to fight off a knifeman in north Belfast has been named as Maitiu Mag Tighearnan.

Tighearnan, from Northern Ireland, was filmed hitting the assailant five times on the head with the wooden hurley as other people kicked and punched him on Kinnaird Avenue on Monday night.

‘This is it’: mauled US hiker recalls moment grizzly locked eyes with him

Daniel Crago says he feels ‘extremely lucky’ after encounter with bear at Glacier national park last month

As the large roaring grizzly bear charged down at him from across a snow field in Montana and mauled him, hiker Daniel Crago had just enough time to put his arm up and think: “This is it.”

But two weeks after that perilous, exceedingly rare encounter in Glacier national park, Crago, 32, is still alive, recovering after three surgeries and feeling “extremely lucky”, he said on Monday in an interview with ABC News.

UK and allies impose sanctions on firms enabling West Bank settler violence

Labour backbenchers disappointed as new trade guidance over illegal settlements stops short of outright ban

The UK in alliance with a group of other western powers including France and Norway has announced it is imposing sanctions on six firms and one individual involved in enabling and financing the recent upsurge in settler violence in the West Bank.

However, the foreign secretary, Yvette Cooper, disappointed many of her own backbenchers by stopping short of banning trade, saying instead the government was only issuing updated advice to British firms not to become involved in any economic activity with the illegal settlements.

MIT boffins take electrospray nozzles out of the cleanroom, into the 3D printer

The process for producing triple-layer drug-delivery particles and materials for tissue regeneration could get easier, thanks to a new advance in creating the electrospray nozzles used to make them. A team of MIT researchers has now used a 3D resin printer to output tiny electrospray nozzles without the expensive cleanrooms they normally require. A team led by MIT principal research scientist Dr. Luis Fernando Velásquez-García detailed its work developing tiny arrays of triaxial electrospray emitters in a recent paper. Before jumping into what they actually did, it might be worth explaining exactly what we’re talking about and why it’s such a potential breakthrough. Electrospraying is a process that relies on tiny nozzles - we’re talking fractions of a millimeter, here - that are subjected to an electric field to atomize liquids into droplets smaller than what can be achieved through purely physical methods. Electrospraying can be done with lots of different liquid materials, and has a variety of uses, from ionizing liquids for mass spectrometry, to space propulsion. Such cutting-edge applications traditionally require expensive equipment, and electrospray nozzles have classically been no different. “Despite electrospray’s versatility, its applicability has been limited by scalability issues caused by challenges in fabricating with high precision and at a low cost arrays of miniaturised emitters that operate uniformly in parallel,” the paper explains. Fabrication of such miniaturized, high-precision emitter arrays is done in semiconductor-level cleanrooms, which Velásquez-García told The Register can take months to make at quite a high cost. Velásquez-García’s team isn’t just working on any old electrospray nozzle array, though: They’re working on triaxial electrospray emitters that are specifically designed to create three-layered microdroplets made of a trio of liquids that don’t mix. “There are no coaxial electrospray arrays or triaxial electrospray emitters made in the semiconductor cleanroom—they just don't exist because of the huge complexity of their design,” Velásquez-García told us in response to questions. Getting the level of precision and complexity that Velásquez-García and his team needed required an advanced 3D resin printer from Asiga with a 27 µm pixel size. It’s no wonder such precise printing was needed when you look at the design of the final product and all the intricate channels necessary to spray three different materials into such tiny droplets. Tiny design, big potential Velásquez-García and his colleagues produced a working version of their emitter array that contained 16 nozzles in a space that’s just one square centimeter, but there’s no reason to stop there. “The design is modular, so you can tile it and produce very large arrays,” Velásquez-García told us. Were one to tile his design to a square foot in size, it would have around 15,000 emitters, for example. “The key issue is that we demonstrated that we attained emitter densities of 16 emitters per square centimeter,” the MIT researcher added. “It cannot be denser because the bottleneck is the resolution of the 3D printers.” Once that engineering limit is overcome, however, the things could be incredibly dense, provided their intricate network of microchannels can be maintained. As it stands now, Velásquez-García said his team’s innovation could be readily commercialized, as the researchers believe they’ve cracked a key problem in cleanroom-free electrospray array construction. “The ‘secret sauce’ is the designs of the tube network and the support structures,” Velásquez-García explained. So, what can one do with triaxial electrospray arrays? Lots of things that’d benefit from cheaper, quickly-produced equipment to make manufacturing them less costly. There are three-layer drug-delivery particles, for instance, that could dispense medicines to specific parts of the digestive tract, self-healing materials, and even artificial cells designed to aid tissue regeneration. “The outer layer can be a protection layer that dissolves, the middle layer can contain a medicine that promotes tissue growth and regeneration, and the core layer can contain an antibiotic to protect the new tissue,” Velásquez-García told us of the potential application. “There is great flexibility on the materials that you use to create the three layers and tailor their application.” Velásquez-García said that the practicality of commercializing his design comes down to material choices, as the resin feedstock used to create the nozzles may vary significantly based on the chemical composition of the material an interested partner would want to use. MIT employees aren't allowed to form their own startups to commercialize university research, but can advise those who license it, which Velásquez-García said he’s ready to do when asked. “If anybody wants to commercialize it, they should contact us and we will work with them,” the MIT researcher told us. ®

Sportautomerk Spyker maakt jaren na faillissement doorstart

LIJNDEN (ANP) - Het failliete Nederlandse sportwagenmerk Spyker maakt een doorstart met de Oekraïense ondernemer Volodymyr Nosov. Hij heeft een "aanzienlijk" belang genomen in het merk en wordt daarmee mede-eigenaar.

Spyker wordt onderdeel van Nosovs fintechbedrijf W Group. Hij noemt de stap in een verklaring op de website van Spyker "zowel een persoonlijke als strategische investering. Al jarenlang investeer ik in zeldzame auto's en ik heb altijd grote bewondering gehad voor Spykers unieke designtaal en buitengewone erfgoed."

Hoeveel geld met de transactie is gemoeid, is niet bekendgemaakt. Een ingewijde zegt tegen de Britse zakenkrant FT dat het belang van Nosov enkele honderden miljoenen euro's waard is.

Nieuwe auto

Ook kondigt Spyker dinsdag een nieuwe auto aan. De Spyker C8 Preliator XXV moet in augustus worden onthuld. Daarnaast willen het bedrijf en W Group een nieuw technologiebedrijf oprichten dat zich onder andere richt op het ontwikkelen van digitale infrastructuur voor de luxe-autosector. Dat bedrijf, Spyker Digital, moet onderzoeken hoe opkomende technologieën de klantervaring, het autobezit en de merkbeleving kunnen verbeteren.

Het oorspronkelijke Spyker werd in 1880 opgericht door de broers Hendrik Jan en Jacobus Spijker en behoort tot de oudste luxe-automerken ter wereld. In 1925 staakte het bedrijf zijn activiteiten en bleef het zo'n 75 jaar inactief. De huidige topman Victor Muller blies Spyker in 2000 nieuw leven in. Een succes werd het nooit en het bedrijf produceerde nooit meer dan een handvol sportwagens per jaar.

Na een rampzalig verlopen overname van het Zweedse Saab werd Spyker in 2014 failliet verklaard. Een rechter draaide dat bankroet later weer terug, maar het automerk ging in 2021 alsnog failliet.
