Type 1 diabetics must constantly control their blood glucose with insulin. It’s a Goldilocks-type situation: administer too much insulin, and they risk low blood glucose (hypoglycemia), while too little can lead to high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). R… Continue reading Self-adjusting insulin proves promising for type 1 diabetics
A team of researchers led by Northwestern University and the University of Texas at Austin (UT) have developed a novel graphene heart implant that’s about the thickness of a strand of hair and monitors and corrects abnormal heart rhythms using light.Co… Continue reading Implantable graphene e-tattoo uses light to monitor, correct arrhythmias
For medication-resistant epileptics, surgery is often the only way to stop seizures. However, for those with frontal lobe epilepsy, sometimes surgery doesn’t ensure the seizures stop. A new study has uncovered connections in the brain that go some way … Continue reading Targeted brain network disconnection may improve epilepsy surgery outcomes

Researchers have developed a new OLED display that can be stretched to more than twice its length while still maintaining light emission and a clear image. The development opens the door to a wide range of wearable electronics.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Super-stretchable OLED opens door for range of wearable electronics
Determining changes in the physical properties of cells is crucial to diagnosing and treating some diseases, such as cancer. But a diagnosis requires the expertise of a pathologist. A team of scientists has developed a quick and simple method of analyz… Continue reading New method of analyzing tumor samples may make pathologists obsolete
