Nanoneedle patch provides painless, noninvasive alternative to traditional cancer biopsies
According to its developers, the patch offers a painless and less invasive solution for patients undergoing biopsies to detect and monitor diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's.
Melatonin-infused microneedles help keep produce fresher longer
This approach, which includes melatonin-infused patches of silk microneedles, might offer an alternative or complement to traditional methods like refrigeration for keeping crops fresh.
At-home AI foot scanner may help prevent hospitalizations from heart failure
The artificial intelligence (AI) foot recognition device developed by researchers from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and a Cambridge-based start-up company called Heartfelt Technologies can potentially signal when heart failure becomes severe and life-threatening.
Shark skin-inspired tech creates bacteria-resistant food surfaces
By adding texture to such surfaces, the researchers sought to mimic the antimicrobial properties of shark skin with the aim of dramatically reducing bacterial contamination without the need for chemical treatments.
Sound technology helps locate seafloor munitions
Because the objects begin to lose resemblance to their original form and instead blend into their environment over time, these changes can alter how acoustic signals scatter from the objects, and those changes can become more intense over time as corrosion or organic growth increase.
Updated DOE model captures biofuel production feedstocks
The tool now accounts for new feedstocks and methods of production, including ethanol from corn wet-milling and natural gas from coal-mine methane.
Smart detection: AI flags contaminated wood used in construction
The team developed what it suggests is the first real-world image dataset of contaminated wood waste, which promises to potentially lead to smarter recycling and sustainable construction.
Power-dense pancake motors in compact packages
Discover why lightweight axial flux -- or pancake -- motors are well-suited for medical and aerospace applications.
Ultrasound toothbrush offers painless detection of hidden gum issues
As an alternative to periodontal probing, wherein a dentist probes a patient's gums with a thin metal tool to identify signs of gum disease, the researchers have developed its toothbrush-like device to detect gum disease less invasively
Milk protein and plant cellulose combination creates edible, biodegradable nanofibers
Beyond food packaging, this material can also reportedly enhance food textures and nutritional values, and be incorporated into the making of glues, paints, paper coatings, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
Stay hydrated with a touch: Screen tech that tracks your water levels
The team used a basic capacitive sensor — like those found in smartphone screens — that is capable of detecting subtle changes in skin moisture.
Closing the loop: Conveyor-based error reduction in high-volume fulfillment
As demand for faster, high-volume order processing grows, traditional methods of material handling struggle to keep pace, often leading to mispicks, shipment errors and costly returns. Conveyor technology plays a role in mitigating these challenges by integrating automation, precision control and real-time tracking.
pH in plant-based proteins: Key ingredient in ensuring quality
Let’s explore how pH measurement can enhance the quality of plant-based proteins, making them safe and satisfying for consumers everywhere.
Small modular reactors to debut in the US
Holtec has launched its Mission 2030 program to install its SMR-300 technology in Covert Township, Michigan, with a target of 2030 for first commercial operation.

Drive solutions for packaging processes are modular and can be configured to meet specific application requirements.
From clean to clever: How advanced hygienic pumps are powering the future of food and beverage processing
Like many other industries undergoing transformation due to emerging technologies — particularly ‘smart’ systems such as precision-engineered pump designs and advanced digital monitoring systems — this evolution is redefining the food and beverage sector.
This compact and rugged binary gas analyzer is a non-negotiable tool for monitoring process gases
The analyzer is now available for measuring binary gas mixtures in concentrations from 0.1% to 100%.
Sugar-based technology offers fast and cheap way to detect snake bites
Because the time following a snake bite is critical, identifying the snake venom making its way through a person’s system is vital to saving lives and offering the best course of treatment.
Circularity – Preserving value in manufacturing
Seco focuses on designing products that are durable, easy to repair, refurbish and recondition while prioritizing recycled and recyclable materials at the early design stage.
