A simple little sticker could soon be saving the lives of patients recovering from gastrointestinal surgery. The clever device is designed to detect the presence of leaking digestive fluids sooner than otherwise possible.Continue ReadingCategory: Medic… Continue reading Potentially life-saving sticker blows the whistle on post-surgical leaks
You can do some wild things with sound waves, such as annoy your neighbours or convince other road users to move out of your way. Or, if you get into …read more Continue reading Sonolithography With The Raspberry Pi Pico
Scientists have boosted the motility of sluggish sperm by up to 266%, by blasting the cells with noninvasive, 40-MHz ultrasound waves to induce movement. Capturing the technique’s impact on individual sperm cells, the study opens the door to new non-in… Continue reading Ultrasound waves spark movement in sleepy sperm by up to 266%
We know what you’re thinking: with so many wireless modules available for just pennies, trying to create a physical data link using ultrasonic transducers like [Damian Bonicatto] did for a …read more Continue reading Skip the Radio with This Software-Defined Ultrasound Data Link
In order to keep surgeries minimally invasive, it would be great if implants could be injected into the body in liquid form, then solidified once in place. Well, a new ultrasound-based 3D printing process may one day make that very thing possible.Conti… Continue reading New ultrasound tech could be used to 3D-print implants inside the body
Researchers have developed a bubble microrobot capable of being guided around the tiny complex blood vessels of the brain using ultrasound. Successfully tested in mice, the ‘microvehicle’ holds potential as a means of precisely delivering drugs to trea… Continue reading Microbubble bots guided through complex brain vessels using ultrasound
Conventional speakers work by moving air around to create sound, but tiny speakers that use ultrasonic frequencies to create pressure and generate sound opens some new doors, especially in terms …read more Continue reading Tiny Speaker Busts Past Sound Limits with Ultrasound
Researchers at MIT have designed a wearable ultrasound patch that can image organs as well as a conventional ultrasound does, without the need for cold gel or an operator. While they used it to measure bladder fullness, the device could also be adapted… Continue reading MIT’s wearable ultrasound patch measures bladder fullness without gel
Earlier this year, we introduced solid-state micro-speaker technology from California’s xMEMS Labs that’s designed to replace coil-based drivers in wearable audio products. Creative was then announced as the first manufacturer to include the technology… Continue reading Solid-state micro-speakers bring the low end to ANC earbuds
Smartwatches that can monitor a wearer’s heart rate use light pulses to detect changes in blood volume. But research from Google proposes using ultrasound from an earphone’s speaker driver to look for tiny deviations in the surface of the ear canal.Con… Continue reading Google looks to ultrasound to monitor heart rate through ANC headphones
