New class of strong biocompatible adhesives made from silk
Silk is usually used to make beautiful yet durable clothes and fabrics. Korean researchers demonstrated that the ancient material can be used as an effective yet comfortable bio-compatible adhesive for epidermal electronics. These skin-attached electronics need an “interface” that connects the sensor and the biological surface. The glue must be strong enough to keep the sensor in place […]

Scientists develop a new biomaterial made from citrate to help hasten bone regeneration
Broken bones take long periods of time to heal because growing new tissue requires a lot of energy. Researchers from Pennsylvania State University have come up with a way to supercharge the regeneration process: a citrate-based biomaterial that provides stem cells with the energy boost they need. Citrate is naturally found in bones and citrus fruit. It […]

Nanotechnology breakthrough helps diabetics track their blood sugar levels
Patients with Type 1 diabetes can thank Oregon-based researchers for developing a wearable medical device that works like an artificial pancreas. 3D printed instead of built, its nano sensors keep a constant eye on blood glucose levels, so that it can deliver insulin and glucagon to the patient whenever necessary. The new device was designed by researchers at the […]

“Jaw-dropping” method scans hormones, medications, and small molecules in as little as 30 minutes
California-based researchers announced that they found a much faster way to scan the 3D structures of certain small molecules. Their improved approach provides incredibly clear images of objects the size of certain hormones within a few hours or even just 30 minutes. They took an existing technique called micro-electron diffraction (MicroED) and adjusted it to work on molecules […]

Smart toilets will scan your poop and tell you if you’re at risk of a disease
Of all the things tech companies could slap an artificial intelligence into, the toilet bowl is the last thing that comes to mind. But these so-called “smart toilets” will reportedly be able to diagnose your state of health and risk of disease by analyzing your bodily waste. To put it simply, a smart toilet can […]

Revolutionary microscopy technique allows scientists to better understand amyloid-based diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s
A new breed of powerful microscopes has enabled British researchers to make huge strides in the study of amyloid diseases. According to a Science Daily article, cryo-electron microscopes have enabled new discoveries about the proteins that cause Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, and Parkinson’s diseases. These powerful instruments use electrons to view the shape of the samples. They can discern […]

Technological advancement makes it possible to mass produce tiny spectrometers using standard chip-making processes
MIT researchers came up with a novel way to produce smaller and cheaper spectrometers – by leveraging existing techniques to manufacture computer chips. A spectrometer is an instrument that can tell the difference between various wavelengths of light. It can find out the chemical composition of an object based on the light it reflects. The […]

LED stool lights up to warn slouches, help prevent back pain
The solution to agonizing back pain might be as simple as a light-emitting diode (LED) on a chair. In an article on The Daily Mail, German researchers unveiled a smart stool that warns its user about incorrect seating posture. A pair of sensors allows the stool to keep track of the user’s posture. This sensor system […]

Medical tests miss most heart attacks – nearly two-thirds are “unrecognized”
A new study on myocardial infarctions (MI; commonly referred to as heart attacks) raised concerns that standard medical tests fail to properly diagnose up to two-thirds of unrecognized MI cases. An unrecognized heart attack is a sub-clinical event. That is to say, its symptoms are too faint to be detected by common medical exams. Their accurate detection requires electrocardiographic (ECG) or […]

REPORT: The U.S. intelligence community wants to use DNA as the next data storage trove
The amount of electronic data we generate every year is quickly outstripping the capacity of the latest storage systems. The U.S. intelligence community wants a new storage material that can accomodate all that data. In an article on Live Science, they are looking into a rather concerning source that is known to store dense amounts of […]
