UK team to treat mouth lesions with adhesive patch
The goal, according to the researchers, is to develop a patch that will stay in the mouth and deliver medications to the affected areas within the wearer’s mouth.
Johns Hopkins creates nanoscale tattoos for tracking the health of individual cells
This new technology will enable the placement of electronics on live cells via tattoo-like arrays that cling to the cells’ wet and fluid outer structure — even as the cells move — for roughly 16 hours.
These robot medics to go where doctors cannot
Using medical telexistence (MediTel) technology, the robot features two robotic arms and virtual reality (VR) systems that can remotely operate medical tools for assessing the condition of a casualty within 20 minutes.
Robot designed to clean solar panels without water
The cleaning bot is reportedly ideal for dry, arid regions where water is scarce and dust accumulation is high.
Arizona State introduces its sweaty bot
The humanoid robot, dubbed the Advanced Newton Dynamic Instrument, is an outdoor thermal mannequin that can be used to measure how much heat it receives from the environment, and thus how a person might respond to such conditions.
Flow batteries for grid-scale energy storage
The development of flow batteries for large-scale, long-duration energy storage has been hindered by the complexity of the system design. In response to this challenge, scientists from MIT have developed a modeling framework that can be used to speed up the development process.
Sourcing steam from a hybrid solar-sand storage system
Use of both a photovoltaic system coupled to sand-based thermal storage and solar thermal energy separately can economically provide steam to industrial facilities.
This hybrid battery can multitask
A rechargeable biomass battery integrates electricity storage/generation and electrosynthesis of useful chemicals from furfural in one system.
Converting air velocity measurements to volumetric flow rates
Understand the various formulas and technical definitions involved to accurately convert an air velocity measurement to a volumetric flow rate.
New sustainable barrier coating designed to increase food packaging recyclability
The MelOx NGen has been selected as a finalist in the Sustainability Awards 2023, in the sustainability in packaging category organized by Packaging Europe.
New hydrogen tech promises to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from food and beverage industry
The WVU team has developed its prototype flexible fuel furnace that burns pure hydrogen to produce hot water and steam for product processing.
Orangewood Labs launches RoboGPT
The San Francisco-based company has developed a remotely-operated robotic arm capable of performing furniture manufacturing tasks via a platform dubbed RoboGPT.
Introducing Pibot: An LLM-powered smart robotic pilot
