A new robotic sensor technology has the capability to diagnose women’s reproductive health problems in real-time

Researchers have developed new robotic sensor technology that has the capability to diagnose women’s reproductive health problems in real-time. The technology, developed by researchers at Imperial College London and The University of Hong Kong, can be used to measure hormones that affect fertility, sexual development and menstruation more quickly and cheaply than current methods. The work,

New actuating material could replace traditional bulky motors and pneumatic actuators in robots with ones similar to mammalian skeletal muscles in the future

To develop micro- and biomimetic-robots, artificial muscles and medical devices, actuating materials that can reversibly change their volume under various stimuli are researched in the past thirty years to replace traditional bulky and heavy actuators including motors and pneumatic actuators. A mechanical engineering team led by Professor Alfonso Ngan Hing-wan, Chair Professor in Materials Science

Breakthrough in liquid-repellent surfaces makes them much better and 1000 times cheaper

The dream of research and development on liquid-repellents is a structure that has robust liquid repellency, strong mechanical stability, and is inexpensive to produce on a commercial scale. On liquid-repellent surfaces, liquid droplets bounce away instead of being stuck. These surfaces are important in many fields, such as water-repellent clothes and anti-fouling kitchenware. Used as

Cells from the eye are inkjet printed for the first time

A group of researchers from the UK have used inkjet printing technology to successfully print cells taken from the eye for the very first time. The breakthrough, which has been detailed in a paper published today, 18 December, in IOP Publishing’s journal Biofabrication, could lead to the production of artificial tissue grafts made from the

Magnetic Spinal Rods Grow With Scoliosis Patients Reducing Need For Surgery

Additionally, this new growing rod system has potentially widespread applications in other disorders   Scoliosis, a progressive condition that causes the spine to grow in a twisted or curved ‘C’ or ‘S’ shape, affects nearly 5 out of every 1,000 children. Although the condition can be present at birth, most cases are diagnosed in children
