New gel infuses oxygen to treat persistent wounds
The new gel is expected to address what researchers explain is the cause of many chronic wounds: insufficient oxygen delivery to the deepest layers of damaged tissue.
New mouth patch promises to detect inflammation before symptoms appear
To detect biomarkers of inflammation in the mouth, the team created a multi-layer sensor capable of functioning in the wet oral environment and remaining attached while the wearer is talking and eating.
Breakthrough powder could help save antibiotics
The team explained that using metal complexes that, when activated under blue light, produce highly reactive compounds that destroy the proteins.
Direct lithium extraction: Revolutionizing the lithium supply chain
The technology provides a more rapid, environmentally friendly and economically viable alternative to conventional methods for lithium production.

Why too much phosphorus in America’s farmland is polluting the country’s water
With improved testing methods, farmers can measure and manage soil nutrients differently and reduce pollution, save money and protect water resources without sacrificing agricultural productivity.
Fictiv releases 11th Annual State of Manufacturing & Supply Chain Report
Research shows artificial intelligence (AI), digital platforms and regional resilience are reshaping manufacturing and supply chain leadership.
Piercing the plasma sheath during spacecraft re-entry
During re-entry, high temperature plasmas interfere with spacecraft communications. These are the researchers looking to restore communications - and maybe make it a little less terrifying on the way down.
Absorbing centerline and stack-up tolerances with Oval Compression Limiters
Compression Limiters must not only align with the mating components, but also maintain a defined centerline tolerance with each other. This will ensure that the accumulated misalignment remains within acceptable limits so the components maintain their relative positions and can be securely fastened at multiple points within the assembly.
High-moisture extrusion redefines food processing
From a manufacturing perspective, modest changes in process understanding and composition can deliver meaningful improvements in performance and robustness.
How automated identification is transforming materials handling
Modern RFID systems measure signal strength and phase across multiple tags and reader angles, allowing systems to infer orientation, select reliable reads and improve screening confidence without reducing throughput or replacing existing infrastructure.
Company unveils pothole-patching truck that repairs up to 146 potholes a day with heated asphalt spray
The Cimline P5 can patch one pothole in just two minutes with asphalt spray, significantly increasing the average number of potholes covered per day from 20 to 146.
New microneedle tech promises painless glucose tracking
Using this less invasive approach, the team found that the device could accurately detect sugar levels and wirelessly transmit information to a smartphone in real time.
Unibloc Hygienic Technologies expands portfolio with twin screw pumps
