Scientists have designed a nature-inspired carbon tube aerogel thermal insulating material based upon the microstructure of polar bear hair. This lightweight, highly-elastic and more efficient heat insulator opens up new avenues for energy-efficient building insulation Polar bear hair helps the...
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...
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 from Stanford University have developed a prototype of auto-focusing eyeglasses which automatically focus on where the wearer is looking. It can help correct presbyopia, a gradual age-related loss of near vision faced by people of 45+ age group. Autofocals provide...
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...
Engineers have invented a semiconductor made by a thin flexible hybrid material which can be used for displays on electronic devices in the near future. Engineers at large corporations have been eyeing to design a foldable and flexible display screen...
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...
Scientists have successfully integrated latest AI tools (e.g. GPT-4) with automation to develop ‘systems’ capable of autonomously designing, planning and performing complex chemical experiments. ‘Coscientist’ and ‘ChemCrow’ are two such AI-based systems developed recently that display emergent capabilities. Driven...
The first temperature-sensitive textile has been created which can regulate our body’s heat exchange with the environment Our body absorbs or loses heat in the form of infrared radiation. At room temperature around 40 percent of heart transfer occurs in...
China has successfully tested a hypersonic jet plane which could cut down the travel time by almost one-seventh. China has designed and tested an ultra-fast aircraft which can achieve hypersonic speeds in the range of Mach 5 to Mach 7,...
The discovery of a new type of malleable, self-healing and completely recyclable "electronic skin” has wide applications in health monitoring, robotics, prosthetics and improved biomedical devices. A study published in Science Advances showcases a new electronic skin (or simply e-skin) that has...
In a major advancement in3D bioprinting technique, cells and tissues have been created to behavelike in their natural environment so as to construct ‘real’ biological structures 3D printing is a procedure in which a material is added together and thus...
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...
This short articles explains what is biocatalysis, its mportance and how it can be used for the benefit of mankind and the environment. The objective of this brief article is to make the reader aware of the importance of biocatalysis...
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...
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...
Studies show how existing smartphone technology can be used to predict and control infectious and non-infectious diseases The demand and popularity of smartphones is on the rise worldwide as it is an excellent way to connect. Smartphones are being used...
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...
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...
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,...
Scientists have developed a 3D bioprinting platform that assembles functional human neural tissues. The progenitor cells in the printed tissues grow to form neural circuits and make functional connections with other neurons thus mimicking natural brain tissues. This is...
