Method measures naturally occurring electron transfers. Bacterial infections have become one of the biggest health problems worldwide, and a recent study shows that COVID-19 patients…
The chip, developed at Imperial College London and known as TriSilix, is a ‘micro laboratory’ which performs a miniature version of the polymerase chain reaction…
Soft, stretchy, slimline and strong electronics could accelerate the arrival of artificial skin. A material that mimics human skin in strength, stretchability and sensitivity could…
Professor of Biomedical Engineering Adam Feinberg and his team have created the first full-size 3D bioprinted human heart model using their Freeform Reversible Embedding of…
An easy way to make millirobots by coating objects with a glue-like magnetic spray was developed in a joint research led by a scientist from City…
Forget glue, screws, heat or other traditional bonding methods. A Cornell-led collaboration has developed a 3D printing technique that creates cellular metallic materials by smashing…
Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder are developing a wearable electronic device that’s “really wearable”—a stretchy and fully-recyclable circuit board that’s inspired by, and…
Scientists are working on the development of a new equipment, more functional and cheaper, that could be deployed in primary healthcare centers. Detecting SARS-CoV-2 virus…
An international team of researchers developed a novel technique to produce precise, high-performing biometric sensors. Wearable sensors are evolving from watches and electrodes to bendable…
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new method of 3D-printing gels and other soft materials. Published in a…
Japanese team aims to detect oxygen concentration in tumors using upgraded medical imaging scan. Experts in Japan have devised a simple way to glean more…
Two active genetics strategies help address concerns about gene-drive releases into the wild. In the past decade, researchers have engineered an array of new tools…
Researchers from UCLA and China have found that catalase, a naturally occurring enzyme, holds potential as a low-cost therapeutic drug to treat COVID-19 symptoms and…
A CRISPR-based test developed at MIT and the Broad Institute can detect nearly as many cases as the standard Covid-19 diagnostic. Since the start of…
Anti-bacterial efficiency close to 100% under 10-min sunlight and promising results in deactivation of coronaviruses. Face masks have become an important tool in fighting against…
Especially in settings where personal protective equipment, or PPE, is in short supply, intubation — inserting a breathing tube down a patient’s throat — poses…
A laboratory breakthrough in cell targeting may improve the safety of cancer-killing CAR T cells. Scientists have demonstrated a new way to precisely target cells…
Three mummified animals from ancient Egypt have been digitally unwrapped and dissected by researchers using high-resolution 3D scans that give unprecedented detail about the animals’…
