New smart bandage monitors as it heals
If the wound isn’t healing or an infection is detected by the bandage, sensors alert a central processing unit, which responds by applying increased electrical stimulation across the wound, thereby accelerating tissue closure and reducing infection.
New technique for printing circuits on curved surfaces
The new technique doesn’t require binding agents and can print on curvilinear surfaces.
US says hello to HALEU
A new project will demonstrate the ability to produce high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) in the U.S. to support advanced reactor deployment.
A sticky solution to producing power with double-sided tape
A small-scale energy harvester is fabricated with conventional double-sided tape and a metalized polyester film.
Satellite signals inform water level sensor
The sensor sports an antenna connected to a Raspberry Pi microcomputer and continuously receives GPS and Global Navigation Satellite System signals to measure river water levels.
Components Express receives UL listing for new line of standard M12 cable assemblies
The new UL-listed M12 cable assemblies come in standard lengths up to 15 m, with a variety of male-female and flying lead connector combinations on either end.
Wind turbine materials branch out
