Arges glasses are designed to help, by relocating the unseen images.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Arges glasses move missing images for visually impaired users

Metal/polymer composite makes for stronger 3D-printed nanostructures

3D printing technology is used not only to build things as large as houses, but also as small as snowflakes. A new material allows the latter to be much stronger than ever before, and to be printed considerably faster.Continue ReadingCategory: 3D Print… Continue reading Metal/polymer composite makes for stronger 3D-printed nanostructures

While islet cell transplants allow some diabetics to forgo daily insulin injections, those people have to take immunosuppressive drugs in order to keep the cells from being rejected. A new implant, however, could administer the drugs for them – in much… Continue reading Subdermal implant could boost islet cell therapy for diabetics

Wearable tech found to boost real-world treatment of PTSD

When someone is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), psychiatrists will sometimes have them actually place themselves in stress-triggering environments. An experimental wearable system has now been shown to make such treatment much mor… Continue reading Wearable tech found to boost real-world treatment of PTSD
