Researchers have created a slow-release ‘smart’ insulin that responds to blood glucose levels to provide week-long control with virtually no incidents of low blood sugar. Tested in mice and minipigs, the novel insulin opens the door to once-a-week insu… Continue reading Weekly ‘smart’ insulin could replace multiple daily injections
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
Most three-dimensional glass objects are produced via either a molding, blowing or perhaps even 3D-printing process. Chinese scientists, however, have devised a technique of folding such items into shape – and it has some key advantages over other meth… Continue reading Origami-inspired technique used to created folded glass objects
By the time that Parkinson’s disease is causing observable symptoms such as loss of muscle control, it’s often advanced to the stage that it’s difficult to treat. In an effort to detect the disease earlier, scientists have developed an “electronic nose” that sniffs it out.

Radio waves don’t travel well through water, which is why devices such as ROVS (remotely operated vehicles) have to be linked to their operator via a communications cable. According to a new study, however, solar panels may soon allow for practical und… Continue reading Solar cells used to boost wireless underwater communications
It can be frustrating, when the jacket that you initially put on to keep you warm starts making you too hot. Jackets made from an experimental new reversible fabric, however, could both heat and cool their wearer.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, Sc… Continue reading Reversible fabric heats on one side, cools on the other
New research has discovered hard drives can be vulnerable to sonic interference. Continue reading Acoustic attacks can blue-screen computers
