Ingestible sensor could help doctors pinpoint GI difficulties

The sensor sends out its location as it moves through the GI tract, revealing where slowdowns in digestion may occur. Engineers at MIT and Caltech have demonstrated an ingestible sensor…

Creating 3D objects with sound

Scientists from the Micro, Nano and Molecular Systems Lab at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research and the Institute for Molecular Systems Engineering and Advanced Materials at Heidelberg University…

Attacking COVID-19’s moving antibody target

Wyss Institute’s eRapid electrochemical sensor technology enables detection of SARS-CoV-2 antigen-specific antibodies to detect virus and assess vaccine-induced immunity. Not all SARS-CoV-2 infections are created equal. We have learned this…

A new generation of microimplants

They are barely the size of a thumbnail, able to communicate with each other and respond to each other, and designed to make life easier for people with functional limitations….

Smart contact lens that diagnoses and treats glaucoma

Glaucoma is a common ocular disease in which the optic nerve malfunctions due to the increased intraocular pressure (IOP) caused by drainage canal blocking in the eye. This condition narrows…

A neuro-chip to manage brain disorders

EPFL researchers have combined low-power chip design, machine learning algorithms, and soft implantable electrodes to produce a neural interface that can identify and suppress symptoms of various neurological disorders. Mahsa…
