Explanation :Researchers in Japan claim that they have developed artificial blood that can be transfused into people irrespective of their blood type and can substantially boost the chances of recovery in critically injured people. The artificial blood has proved highly effective on rabbits and was developed by a team of experts based primarily at the National Defense Medical College.
The artificial blood, when used in humans, works around the issue of identifying blood types in critical situations and helps deal with limits on real blood storage from donors as the artificial blood can be stored at normal temperatures for more than a year. Manabu Kinoshita, an associate professor of immunology at the National Defense Medical College and a member of the team said:
It is difficult to stock a sufficient amount of blood for transfusions in such regions as remote islands. The artificial blood will be able to save the lives of people who otherwise could not be saved.

Explanation :The Kounotori8, which means ‘white stork’, is the world’s biggest transport spaceship according to Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency(JAXA). HTV-8 is the eighth mission of robotic Kounotori8 cargo ship to resupply the International Space Station (ISS). It was meant to lift-off on September 11, 6.33 AM JST from Tanegashima Space Center in Minamitane, Japan. However, the launch was aborted when a fire broke out at 3:05 AM JST.
The launch was then rescheduled to September 24, 1:30 AM JST, but eventually the launch date was postponed again. The launch provider, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, delayed the launch after analysis of the ISS and Soyuz spacecraft as there was a possibility that the second stage of the H-IIB rocket might approach the Soyuz spacecraft after separation.
Finally, on September 25 at 1:05 a.m JST, the H-IIB launch vehicle lifted off from the Tanegashima Space Center. The spaceship will arrive on the ISS on September 28. The resupply mission will deliver about 5.3 tonnes of supplies to the astronauts aboard the ISS, including fresh food, water, batteries and devices required for experiments.
According to NASA, the spaceship is carrying six new lithium-ion batteries and adapter plates that are meant to replace the older nickel-hydrogen batteries powering the station’s far port truss segment. A series of robotics and spacewalks will be required for changing the batteries. Experiments aboard the spaceship are an upgrade to the Cell Biology Experiment Facility (CBEF-L), a small-sized satellite optical communication system (SOLISS), and a payload for testing the effects of gravity on powder and granular material (Hourglass).
