For the first time nanorobots have been designed which can deliver drugs directly into the eyes without causing damage. Nanorobot technology is a recent technique at the centre of focus of scientists for treating multiple diseases. Nanorobots (also called nanobots)...
A wearable electronic device has been discovered which can attach to one’s body and act as a speaker and microphone Discovery and design of wearable electronic devices which can be worn by customers on their body is on the rise...
Medical scientists from University of Pennsylvania have found that medical conditions could be predicted from contents of social media posts Social media is now an integral part of our lives. In 2019, at least 2.7 billion people regularly use online...
Wearable devices have become prevalent and are increasingly gaining ground. These devices usually interface biomaterials with electronics. Some wearable electro-magnetic devices act as mechanical energy harvesters to supply energy. Currently, no “direct electro-genetic interface” is available. Hence, wearable devices...
Recent studies have developed new wound dressings which accelerate healing and improve tissue regeneration in wounds. Scientists discovered a very important aspect of wound healing in the late 1970s when the understanding of this process was at a very early...
The scientists have developed a suitable material for use in thermo-electric generators based on ‘anomalous Nernst effect (ANE)’ that increases the voltage generating efficiency manifold. These devices can be comfortably worn in flexible shapes and sizes to power small...
Study had shown a scalable and affordable solution of directly capturing carbon dioxide from air and tackling carbon footprint Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major greenhouse gas and a significant driver of climate change. A greenhouse gas in the atmosphere...
Study has discovered a way to make batteries that we use every day to be more resilient, powerful and safe. The year is 2018 and our everyday livesare now fuelled by different gadgets which either run on electricity or on...
Lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) face safety and stability issues due to overheating of separators, short circuits and reduced efficiency. With an aim to mitigate these shortcomings, researchers used a graft polymerization technique and developed innovative silica nanoparticles...
Scientists from MIT have sensitized existing silicon solar cells by singlet exciton fission method. This can increase efficiency of solar cells from 18 percent to as high as 35 percent thus doubling energy output thereby reducing costs of solar...
Recent studies have shown the capability of artificial intelligence systems in medically diagnosing important diseases Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems have been around for quite some time and are now getting smarter and better with time. AI has applications is multitude...
Researchers have adapted living cells and created novel living machines. Called xenobot, these are not a new species of animals but pure artefacts, designed to serve human needs in future. If biotechnology and genetic engineering were disciplines promising immense potential...
Scientists have for the very first time bioengineered a human cornea using 3D printing technique which can be a boost for corneal transplants. Cornea is the transparent dome-shaped outermost layer of the eye. The cornea is the first lens through...
The first website in the world was/is http://info.cern.ch/  This was conceived and developed at European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva by Timothy Berners-Lee, (better known as Tim Berners-Lee) for automated information-sharing between scientists and research institutions around the world....
Scientists have fabricated artificial wood from synthetic resins which while mimicking natural wood exhibits improved properties for multifunctional use Wood is an organic fibrous tissue found in trees, bushes and shrubs. Wood can be called as the most useful and...
Engineers have designed a wireless ‘brain pacemaker’ which can detect and prevent tremors or seizures in patients suffering from neurological disorders According to World Health Organization (WHO) neurological disorders affect more than one billion people worldwide and it causes more...
In a major advancement in robotics, robot with ‘soft’ human-like muscles have been successfully designed for the first time. Such soft robots can be a boon to design human friendly robots in the future. Robots are programmable machines that are...
Researchers have developed an artificial sensory nerve system which can process information similar to the human body and it could effectively give sense of touch to prosthetic limbs Our skin, body’s largest organ, is also the most important as it...
Scientists have for the first time created an injectable hydrogel which beforehand incorporates tissue-specific bioactive molecules via novel crosslinkers. The hydrogel described has strong potential for usage in tissue engineering Tissue engineering is the development of tissue and organ substitutes...
Scientists have shown a new technology in which bioengineered bacteria can make cost-effective chemicals/polymers from renewable plant sources Lignin is a material which is a constituent of cell wall of all dry land plants. It is the second most abundant...
Neuralink is an implantable device that has shown significant improvement over others in that it supports flexible cellophane-like conductive wires inserted into the tissue using a “sewing machine” surgical robot. This technology can help alleviate diseases of the brain (depression, Alzheimer’s,...
A novel vital signs measurement device is ideal for low resource settings for timely intervention of illnesses during pregnancy The main driving force behind developing a unique device called Cradle Vital Sign Alert (VSA)1 was the observation made ofdifferent clinical outcomes...
Series of breakthroughs in quantum computing An ordinary computer, which is now referred to as a classical or traditional computer works on the basic concept of 0s and 1s (zeroes and ones). When we ask the computer to do a...
A breakthrough study takes significant step forward in the quest to develop a DNA-based storage system for digital data. Digital data is growing at an exponential rate today because of our dependency on gadgets and it requires robust long-term storage....
The brain ‘pacemaker’ for Alzheimer's disease is helping patients to perform daily tasks and take care of themselves more independently than before. A novel study has for the first time attempted to use deep-brain simulation to counter brain activity related...
