Bioengineered material promises to halt bleeding in patients on blood thinners
To develop a more effective hemostat, the researchers simulated blood flow through pores to gauge which microscopic design would enhance absorption.
Researchers develop a smart wound soldering paste
The smart wound soldering paste, dubbed iSolder, which stands for intelligent solder, has been developed for wound sealing applications where sutures and staples would pose a challenge.
Robotic vehicle conducts medical triage in hazardous environments
The mobile robotic-controlled UGV includes virtual reality VR technology and enables communication with doctors, so that the robot can remotely execute medical triage without risking their lives in hazardous environments.
A dolphin-inspired soft robot could monitor environments
A dolphin-inspired robot has been designed to monitor chemical and viral molecules in hard-to-reach places.
AI tool predicts death, complications following heart surgery
To better determine the possible outcomes, the team created a tool that estimates a patient’s risk score, and, subsequently, their chances of dying or developing complications following a PCI procedure.
New sample preparation solutions simplify and automate respiratory diagnostic testing
These instruments provide laboratories with in vitro diagnostic and in vitro diagnostic regulation approved automated sample preparation solutions for increased confidence in downstream results.
Video: Cobots will automate laboratories in China
Robotic technology is coming to laboratories in China, where ABB Robotics and XtalPi will engineer a range of automated laboratory workstations.
Automated cocktail preparation instrument for flow cytometry
The system simplifies and accelerates laboratory workflow, assures consistent experimental results, saves time and reduces the potential for errors.
Compact gas chromatography unit delivers analytical precision
Small enough that a typical laboratory table can accommodate several units, the system allows simultaneous operation of two analytical lines with standard capillary columns.
Sample preparation solutions simplify and automate respiratory diagnostic testing
These systems provide laboratories with an in vitro diagnostic and in vitro diagnostic regulation approved automated sample preparation solutions for increased confidence in downstream results.
Antibody-enhanced nasal spray may prevent COVID-19
The nasal drops enhanced with antibodies promise to protect high-risk individuals from variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and, potentially, other infections.
Team develops seaweed-derived hydrogel for wound healing
The seaweed-based hydrogel reportedly achieves physical properties that are different from those of conventional hydrogels, which tend to interfere with the wound healing process by stretching and expanding the wound itself thanks to adhesives.
Spider silk inspires polymer for connecting biological tissues with electronic devices
Taking inspiration from spider-silk draglines, which shrink in the presence of high humidity or water, the team created a polymer featuring the crystalline properties like those in the silk draglines.
AI model predicts COVID-19 variant waves
The researchers explained that the patterns revealed by the analysis were used to create the machine-learning powered risk assessment model.
Polymers that kill bacteria developed by Texas A&M
Researchers designed a positively charged molecule that can be stitched repeatedly to create a larger molecule composed of the same repeating charged motif via a catalyst called AquaMet.
Team develops 'electronic tongue' technology
The electronic tongue features sensors and deep-learning technology for accurately measuring saltiness, sourness, bitterness and sweetness simultaneously.
Ingestible, vibrating device promises to prevent overeating
The capsule is designed to vibrate once in the stomach, thereby activating the stretch receptors that sense when the stomach is distended, thus giving the imaginary sense of fullness.
New coating promises to keep bacteria from clinging to toilets
To create the coating, researchers ground poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), which is a silicone oil, in a ball mill for about 60 minutes.
A robotic catheter that promises to make heart surgeries safer
A team of Boston University engineers and physicians has created a robotic catheter capable of shape shifting.
Patch promises to treat congenital heart defects
The team created a tissue-engineered myocardial patch via electrospinning, wherein electricity is applied to fluid solutions to produce nanofibers to form a scaffold, which is eventually injected with living cells that subsequently become the patch.
