Nanoparticles from Tattoo Ink Travel Inside Body, According to Study
According to researchers, despite finding a variety of particles in the skin, the smaller nanoparticles were the only ones settling in the lymph nodes — potentially causing periodic lymph node enlargement.
Watch: Music Composition Via Brain-Computer Interface
Researchers at the Graz University of Technology in Graz, Austria, have developed a brain-computer interface application that composes music through the power of thought.
UK Slammed By UN Over Air Pollution
According to a recent report from the UN, the UK is failing to address the issue of air pollution.
Using Artificial Intelligence to Identify Sexual Orientation
Using artificial intelligence (AI), we can do just about anything from solving crimes to making predictions about a person’s behavior. Now, researchers from Stanford University believe that by using a computer algorithm, they can determine the sexual orientation of a person based entirely on their facial features.
A New Device to "Sniff" Out Narcotics, Explosives
A team of researchers from the Technical University of Denmark has designed a chip prototype that can detect the presence of narcotics, explosives and money.
Nanogenerator Harvests Power in Blood Vessels
The fiber-shaped fluidic nanogenerator converts the energy of any flowing liquid, including blood in blood vessels, into electricity.
Precision Machining Methods for Surgical Instruments
Ultra-hard metals and thin-walled metallic tubular structures present machining challenges to medical device manufacturers. Traditionally, a vast array of manufacturing techniques were used to achieve surgical precision edges, contours and patterns, including lasers, electric discharge machining (EDM), water-jet machining, chemical machining and grinding. Even when compared to other laser machining methods, fiber lasers have gained wide appeal as recent developments have allowed for advanced capabilities that produce superior edge quality.
3D Printed Biomaterials Degrade on Demand
The materials, fabricated by means of stereolithographic printing, could be useful in designing microfluidic devices.
