Sarcopenia affects up to 16% of the world’s aging population and is one of the leading factors in the loss of independence. Marked by a loss of both muscle mass and function or strength, it’s behind many age-related falls, poor mobility and functional … Continue reading Novel electrical therapy rebuilds muscles lost through natural aging
Microplastics are everywhere, including being found to enter our bodies through cavities exposed to the outside world. Two new studies have further examined the effect of microplastics on our health, with one finding that they cause brain inflammation … Continue reading Microplastics trigger brain inflammation, found in heart tissue
Microplastics are a growing environmental problem, but now researchers in Korea have developed a new water purification system that can filter out these tiny fragments, as well as other pollutants, very quickly and with high efficiency.Continue Reading… Continue reading High-efficiency water filter removes 99.9% of microplastics in 10 seconds
Researchers in Korea have developed microbots made of stem cells that can be delivered through the nose into the brain. These “Cellbots,” which bypass the blood-brain barrier, could one day be used to treat brain cancers and neurodegenerative diseases…. Continue reading Stem cell microbots travel from nose to brain to treat disease
Scientists in South Korea have made a breakthrough in battery research that could help us bust through a key bottleneck in energy storage. The team’s advance overcomes a technical issue that has held back highly promising lithium-metal battery architec… Continue reading Ultra-thin lithium offers a solid platform for high-capacity batteries
In the not too distant future, tiny robots could be delivering drugs inside our bodies, but there are still a few hurdles to clear before we realize that scenario. Now researchers have developed corkscrew microrobots that drill into cancer and hold fas… Continue reading “Corkscrew” microrobots skewer cancer cells for targeted drug delivery
