Caltech researchers have developed a flexible electronic bandage for use on chronic wounds, particularly in diabetic patients. The bandage monitors signs of inflammation, collecting medical data and providing medication as needed.
Researchers developed a high-performance AI semiconductor device using indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), an oxide semiconductor widely used in OLED displays. The new device has proven to be excellent in terms of performance and power efficiency.
Scientists developed a method for converting fruit wastes such as coconut husks, orange peels, and banana peels into a solar absorber made of MXene for efficient water desalination process.
Researchers developed a non-invasive and non-antibiotics technology to effectively reduce MRSA infection in bony tissue. The novel antibacterial nanosheets can release a substantial amount of reactive oxygen species subject to ultrasound stimulation.
Researchers have demonstrated a caterpillar-like soft robot that can move forward, backward and dip under narrow spaces. The caterpillar-bot's movement is driven by a novel pattern of silver nanowires that use heat to control the way the robot bends, allowing users to steer the robot in either direction.
Many properties of the graphene and its cousins are still poorly understood - for the simple reason that the atoms they are made up of are very difficult to observe. Researchers have now found a surprising way to solve this issue.
