Anti-aging drug extends life up to 25%, staves off frailty and disease

For the first time, scientists have shown how a specific protein increases in our organs as we get older and actively promotes the aging process. By blocking this, we could not only live longer but be protected against physical decline and disease.

About Vacuum Jacketed Piping Systems and Accessories

What is a Vacuum Jacketed Piping System? Vacuum jacketed piping, also called VJ piping or vacuum-insulated piping, is used to transfer supercooled gasses in liquid form. Cryogens like liquid helium, liquid oxygen, and liquid nitrogen must be kept cold during the transfer process, or some of the liquid will become gaseous and leak out. Vacuum […]
