    The biodegradable patches are folded at the end of the tools and unfold when pressed into place at the target site.

  • Study: Porous surfaces better at evaporating COVID-19 droplets than hard surfaces

    Coronavirus droplets live longer on stainless steel and glass than on cloth and paper.

  • Scientists develop 3D-printed stents that can be reabsorbed by the body

    Light-sensitive resin stents would eliminate the need for additional surgeries.

  • Sensor could simultaneously analyze biofluids, administer medications

    Placed around the mouth or eyes, the sensor could monitor, treat mouth and eye diseases.

  • AI predicts COVID-19 survivability with 90% accuracy

    AI can predict whether an uninfected person will survive COVID-19 once infected.

  • The case for FFKM sealing in life science applications

    FFKM material grades are fast becoming a mainstream choice when sealing in life science applications due to their outstanding chemical resistance and temperature range.

  • Magnetic particles in in-vitro diagnostics (IVD)

    In-vitro diagnostics and life science applications are increasing their use of magnetic particles; therefore, the improvement of magnetic separation continues to develop.

    The "COVID Hunter" seeks out, detects coronavirus in people and objects.

  • Carbon fiber in the biomedical industry

    Carbon fiber has applications across various technological fields, based on its unique physical, chemical and biological properties.

  • Fundamentals of glucose monitoring sensors

    Minimally invasive continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensors are becoming an increasingly adopted technology, especially for diabetic individuals needing insulin administrations.

  • Researchers to treat PPE with compound used to disinfect pools

    The chemical compound also disinfects swimming pools.

  • Team can 3D print bone tissue using ceramic-based ink, live cells

    Bone can be 3D printed directly onto bone using this technique.

  • Watch: Artificial cornea restores patient’s vision

    The implant consists of an optical component attached to a biocompatible material that resembles the human extracellular matrix.

  • Video: Large bore CT system cleared for radiation therapy planning

    The computed tomography (CT) scanner features a 90 cm bore opening, 90 cm edge-to-edge field of view and 4 cm detector coverage.

  • Watch: Imaging the internal structure of mini-brains

    Visualizing details of the internal structure of brain spheroids could accelerate drug studies and offer alternatives to some animal testing.

  • Digital passport may be issued to those vaccinated against COVID-19

    Digital passport to "clear a path" for those vaccinated against COVID-19.

  • The Olympus OLS5100 smart experiment manager simplifies data acquisition and analysis

    A semi-automated experiment manager for quick and efficient surface metrology experiment workflows

  • Watch: Specimen collection tube decapping now automated

    The pre-analytical function of decapping a specimen collection tube can now be automated.

  • Video: Bombarding cancer cells with microbubbles

    Microbubbles can target tumor sites with cancer drugs and avoid detrimental effects to healthy tissues.

  • Watch: Fever sensor cleared for inclusion in injectable cardiac monitor

    The injectable device designed to help cardiologists detect and diagnose cardiac arrhythmias remotely now has an additional role in monitoring for signs of fever.
