A breakthrough in microneedle patches

Rethinking how drugs are administered: Scientists develop promising fabrication process for microneedle arrays capable of administering protein-based drugs subcutaneously without damaging the skin. The painful feeling of receiving an injection…

‘Pop-up’ electronic sensors could detect when individual heart cells misbehave

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a powerful new tool that monitors the electrical activity inside heart cells, using tiny “pop-up” sensors that poke into cells…

MRI scans for early detection of Alzheimer’s disease

At Fraunhofer MEVIS, a new device update accelerates development of control software. Reliable and feasible early detection of Alzheimer’s disease is the goal of DEBBIE, an international joint project under…

Invisible virus protection for indoor spaces

Room divider based on UV-C light inactivates SARS-CoV-2 aerosols. Despite myriad precautionary measures, virus-contaminated aerosols still pose a serious problem indoors. An invisible protective wall of UV-C light developed by…

Picture perfect X-ray capture

A nanocomposite that absorbs X-rays and then, with nearly perfect efficiency, re-emits the captured energy as light, could help to improve high-resolution medical imaging and security screening. The material’s near-100…

A new spin on MRI

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba place a radio-frequency repeater inside an MRI machine that allows it to detect sodium ions, which may lead to enhanced clinical imaging and monitoring…
