New 3D printing technique: A game changer for medical testing devices
Researchers have developed a 3D printing technique to fabricate microfluidic devices for biomedical applications at a microscale not previously possible.
Nanotechnology research: Faster, cheaper COVID tests
A nanotechnology research group entered the race to develop a rapid test for COVID-19 in August 2020, running experiments on a new sensor for …
Blood vessels are guides for stimulating implants
A wireless neurostimulator a little bigger than a grain of rice can be put in place alongside blood vessels to treat neurological diseases and …
Head-mounted microscope reaches deeper into mouse brains
Researchers have developed a miniature microscope that is designed for high-resolution 3D images inside the brains of living mice. The new, lightweight design could …
Engineers develop a ‘magnetic tentacle robot’ to pass into the narrow tubes of the lung
Engineers and scientists have developed proof of concept for a robot that can reach some of the smallest bronchial tubes in the lungs - …
Energy-harvesting wearable device made from recycled waste
Wearable devices could soon be entirely made of recycled waste materials -- and powered by human movement, thanks to a new energy-harvesting device.
