New ‘smart capsule’ monitors GI tract health from the inside out
Dubbed Pilltrek, the capsule is comprised of inexpensive sensors in a miniature wireless electrochemical workstation that relies on low-power electronics. As such, PillTrek is tiny, measuring 7 mm x 25 mm.
Tiny light-activated robots treat bacterial infections inside sinuses
These micro-robots are just a fraction of the width of a human hair and they have already been inserted into animal sinuses in pre-clinical trials.
Cloud seeding: Can we engineer the rain? Should we?
Despite it not being a solution for droughts, cloud seeding can still represent a cost-effective way to help bolster water supply before and after drought scenarios.
Injectable biomaterial delivers combined treatment to boost nerve regeneration after spinal injury
The multifunctional hydrogel system is designed to tackle the biological environment that tends to prevent regeneration in the central nervous system, resulting in an approach to spinal cord repair that combines several therapeutic agents into one, injectable platform.
