Mice Reproduce With 3-D Printed Bioprosthetic “Ovaries”
In a new paper in the journal Nature Communications, researchers have discovered a new technique to grow 3D printed “ovaries” in mice.
A T-Shirt That Monitors Breathing Rate
The T-shirt works without attaching wires, electrodes and sensors to the body, explains Younes Messaddeq, the professor who led the team that developed the technology.
Solar Cells Could Transform Energy-Starved Communities
With an estimated 1.2 billion people living without electricity worldwide, researchers at Penn State University began investigating ways to provide them with what many of us take for granted.
Micro-Coaxial Cable for Medical Applications
Hitachi Metals Group Ltd. has released a newly developed 48 AWG coaxial cable for medical applications.
Low-profile Triple or Dual Output Power Supplies
TDK-Lambda America offers 35 or 75 watts of power from their CUT35 and CUT75 series low-profile dual or triple output power supplies. The 1.06 inch footprint is convection cooled and the open frame unit can be supplied with optional cover and terminal types.

The first synchrotron light source in the Middle East is now open for scientific research.
Dams Affect Environment More Than Previously Thought
Dams, water reservoirs created by damming a river, may have more impact on the environment than previously thought.
Higher Mass Transit Use Linked to Lower Obesity Rates
According to a study by researchers from the University of Illinois, there is a relationship between increased mass transit use and lower obesity rates in counties throughout the United States.
Bathroom Scales That Tell You More Than Just Your Weight
Wish your scale would tell you something other than your weight? A team of researchers at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) Institute of Biomedical Engineering is developing a device to do just that: a scale that can monitor your health and alert you to potentially life-threatening conditions, such as arteriosclerosis or cardiac arrhythmia.
More Diesel Pollution Than Tests Detect
Thanks to testing inefficiencies and maintenance failures, vehicles worldwide are emitting dangerous nitrogen oxide (NOx)—4.6 million tons more than standards allow, contributing to 38,000 premature deaths a year worldwide.

Producing Fertilizer...From Air
A reactor, which converts nitrogen from the atmosphere into NOx (raw material for fertilizer), is thought to make the process of producing the raw materials five times more efficient than existing processes, with current methods of production resulting in about two percent of global CO2 emissions.
Coatings for Nuclear Fuel Preventing Explosions in Reactors
In an effort to reduce hydrogenation of containers where nuclear fuel is stored and to protect reactors from a Fukushima-like radiation disaster, physicists from Tomsk Polytechnic University are developing protective titanium nitride-based coatings for shells of fuel elements (fuel rods) of nuclear reactors.
Applying Data Science to Better Predict Effect of Weather and Other Conditions on Solar Panels
In an effort to extend the life of solar panels, researchers from Case Western Reserve University and Gebze Technical University (GTU) in Turkey are employing data science to understand what effect weather exposure and other conditions have on the materials that create solar panels.
