The emerging field of “spintronics” uncovers an unexpected phenomenon in how electrons “spin” which could help develop more efficient computing devices
The accidental discovery of the zero field switching (ZFS) effect is a major leap forward in the field of spintronics. It could pave the way towards memory and computing devices that are both smaller and draw less power, according to an article in NanoWerk. The University of Maryland (UMD) defined spintronics as the role of nuclear and […]

Researchers create 3D printer that works directly on human skin, could be used to print temporary sensors
Who needs wearable electronics when you can print them on your skin directly? That is the thinking that drove Minnesota-based researchers to customize a 3D printer so that it can put sensors and other temporary electronics on human skin, an article on Phys.org stated. Using the skin of anything alive as a printing surface is difficult […]

Radiologists can now use interactive VR to gain a 360-degree view of internal anatomy, improving understanding and treatment of complex conditions
Interventional radiologists can take a quantum technological leap forward when it comes to preparing for complicated procedures involving splenic artery aneurysms (SAA). The use of augmented virtual reality (VR) to reveal the internal anatomy of a patient better than standard volume-rendering (SR) software will enable safer and more precise surgeries, according to a ScienceDaily article. […]

Silk hybrid material can attack bacteria when illuminated by a green light
Indiana and Korean researchers have found a way to fuse a far-red fluorescent protein into silk. When exposed to green light, the resulting material will release molecules that kill bacteria and other dangerous pathogens, according to a NanoWerk article. Touted to be all-natural by its creators, the new biomaterial offers an alternative way to sterilize pathogens. […]

Chinese AI able to diagnose and identify cancerous prostate samples as well as human doctors
A Chinese research team has come up with an artificial intelligence (AI) to help them diagnose prostate biopsies and identify possible cancers. According to an article on SciMex.org, the AI is as good as a human pathologist. The learning software is said to be able to grade the malignancy of the cancer with significant accuracy. […]

We now live in a society where prosthetic arms can be controlled by our thoughts
Prosthetics have come a long way from the clunky hunks of metal and plastic. According to an article that appeared in Newswise, amputees can now be fitted with robotic limbs that they can control with their thoughts, like a real, living arm. In the U.S., the required surgical procedure can only be performed at a few facilities. One […]

Old iPhones seeing new life as medical devices used to assist brain surgeries in Brazil
Brain surgeons in Brazil cannot put down their iPhones in the operating room. But that’s because the old smartphones are a vital and effective medical tool during surgeries, according to a LiveScience article. The doctors have ditched the costly and cumbersome monitors and video cameras seen in most hospitals. Instead, they attach outdated iPhone models onto their […]

New portable treatment technique could save wounded combat soldiers from amputations
Thanks to a new portable medical kit devised by Scottish researchers, U.K. soldiers with badly injured limbs will have a much better chance at avoiding amputations, reported The National. The pioneering system traces its roots to a study conducted by Strathclyde University (Strathclyde) into injuries sustained by U.K. armed forces personnel from improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Armed with that […]
