By stimulating cells to reproduce, electricity has already been shown to help heal soft tissue injuries. Now, an electricity-producing implantable material likewise appears to boost the regrowth of cartilage in compromised joints.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Piezoelectric material shown to help regrow knee-joint cartilage
People such as healthcare workers often have to wear face masks for up to 12 continuous hours, during which time they may become seriously exhausted. A new mask-mounted device is designed to help, by monitoring their vital signs and detecting leaks in … Continue reading “Fitbit for the face” monitors workers’ vital signs via their masks
Ice in and of itself isn’t slippery – it becomes slippery when friction causes a thin layer of liquid water to form on top of it. Scientists have now applied that same basic principle to an injectable medication that could be used to treat osteoarthrit… Continue reading Experimental medication could treat osteoarthritis by acting like ice
If someone is serious about weightlifting, they’ll typically buy one or more sets of dumbbells, a barbell, and multiple weight plates for the barbell. The new Dualbell system, however, allows existing dumbbells to take the place of the plates, saving s… Continue reading Dualbell system lets dumbbells double as barbell weights
When studying heart disorders, it’s important to know how electrical signals travel through cardiac tissue, and even through individual heart cells. A new pop-up sensory tool could soon provide that information, in more detail than ever before.Continue… Continue reading Tiny, toothy cardiac sensors “stab” heart cells without hurting them
When you’re working out with dumbbells, stopping to add or remove weights can disrupt the whole flow of things. In order to keep those stops as short as possible, NordicTrack has introduced its voice-controlled iSelect Adjustable Dumbbells.Continue Rea… Continue reading NordicTrack iSelect dumbbells change weight via voice commands
Although underwater drones are capable of performing a variety of tasks, getting them to the “dive site” can still sometimes be challenging. A new system is designed to help, by using an aerial drone to transport and deploy an underwater drone.Continue… Continue reading Amphibious system combines a multicopter with an underwater drone
For people living in coastal regions or along rivers, commuting to certain places by water is always going to be quicker than using land-based transit. The fuel-cell-powered NepShuttle is designed to let them continue to do so, while minimizing their c… Continue reading Fuel-cell NepShuttle could soon carry passengers on French waterways
People with hypertension often have to perform arm-cuff blood pressure readings multiple times per day. Not only is this a hassle, but it may not provide a complete picture of their problem – that’s where the always-on Aktiia wearable is designed to co… Continue reading Aktiia wearable uses light to monitor blood pressure, 24/7
Presently, OLED screens are manufactured by specially trained technicians in large high-tech factories. Now, however, scientists have managed to 3D print a flexible OLED display, paving the way for small businesses and even individuals to one day be ab… Continue reading World-first OLED display is both flexible and fully 3D-printed
