Portable food safety sensor snags Salmonella with virus-coated polymer
The new technology can quickly capture and visualize foodborne bacterial contaminants in tiny fluid samples.
From yeast to structures: Baked biomaterial enables 3D-printed architecture
The new material is comprised of baker's yeast, cellulose fibers from wood, alginate from algae, glycerol from plants and water. Altogether, these ingredients create a type of hydrogel that can be 3D printed.
Tea leaves and mussels inspire new eco-friendly bio-adhesive
Beyond its robust adhesive qualities, TEAGEL is expected to be sustainable and biocompatible. The tea leaves also reportedly deliver antioxidant and antibacterial properties.
New brain sensor detects infections earlier through continuous monitoring
To improve patient outcomes and potentially cut costs, researchers developed a system for continuously monitoring brain fluid for early signs of infection and reduced flow.
Power parking: The challenges of EV charging infrastructure
Each site will have to prove which vehicles it can move through without wasting land, power or capital.
Next-gen heat pump to keep Amazon cool
The system can cool a commercial facility using 40% less energy relative to conventional HVAC options.
Adhesive and sealant market in North America to reach $30.74 billion by 2030
The U.S. accounts for 80.6% of regional volume, with Canada and Mexico contributing 11.6% and 7.7% respectively.
New lightweight polymer from Waterloo blocks X-rays without heavy metals
The new material offers comparable radiation shielding performance while weighing 90% less than traditional lead-based protective garments.
Living bandage expedites healing for a wide range of wounds
The team developed the patch because conventional delivery approaches tend to be limited by rapid degradation and poor retention at the wound site.
Sand control system boosts complex well productivity
This system reduces rig time, lowers total cost of ownership for operators and safely improves well productivity as complexity increases.
