Toilet seat that detects congestive heart failure getting ready to begin commercialization Posted: 20 Mar 2019 11:10 AM PDT A toilet-seat based cardiovascular monitoring system aims to lower the hospital readmission rates of patients with congestive heart failure. |
Posted: 20 Mar 2019 11:10 AM PDT Researchers have demonstrated for the first time a way to make a robot composed of many loosely coupled components, or 'particles.' Unlike swarm or modular robots, each component is simple, and has no individual address or identity. In their system, which the researchers call a 'particle robot,' each particle can perform only uniform volumetric oscillations (slightly expanding and contracting), but cannot move independently. |
The best topological conductor yet: Spiraling crystal is the key to exotic discovery Posted: 20 Mar 2019 11:10 AM PDT A team of researchers has discovered the strongest topological conductor yet, in the form of thin crystal samples that have a spiral-staircase structure. |
Computer scientists create reprogrammable molecular computing system Posted: 20 Mar 2019 11:05 AM PDT Researchers have designed self-assembling DNA molecules with unprecedented reprogrammability. |
Visualizing better cancer treatment Posted: 20 Mar 2019 09:06 AM PDT Researchers have engineered nanoscale protein micelles capable of both delivering chemotherapeutic drugs and of being tracked by MRI. The innovation allows researchers to administer therapy while noninvasively monitoring the therapeutic progress and drastically reducing the need for surgical intervention. They biosynthesized a protein block copolymer containing amino acid building blocks with fluorinated thermoresponsive assembled protein (F-TRAP), which assembles into a nanoscale micelle with the noteworthy abilities. |
Supercomputer simulations shed light on how liquid drops combine Posted: 20 Mar 2019 08:06 AM PDT High performance computing has revealed in detail how liquid droplets combine, in a development with applications such as improving 3D printing technologies or the forecasting of thunderstorms. |
'Chronoprints' identify samples by how they change over space and time Posted: 20 Mar 2019 07:21 AM PDT Modern analytical tools like mass spectrometers can identify many unknown substances, allowing scientists to easily tell whether foods or medicines have been altered. However, the cost, size, power consumption and complexity of these instruments often prevent their use in resource-limited regions. Now, researchers report that they have developed a simple, inexpensive method to identify samples by seeing how they react to a change in their environment. |
What oil leaves behind in 2.5 billion gallons of water every day in US Posted: 20 Mar 2019 07:20 AM PDT Purdue University researchers have developed a process to remove nearly all traces of oil in produced water. |
Cities rethink parking as ride-hailing grows and parking revenue declines Posted: 20 Mar 2019 07:20 AM PDT A new study found that people who use ride-hailing are willing to pay more to avoid driving, including the stress and cost of parking. As a result, cities are seeing a reduction in parking demand, particularly at restaurants and bars, event venues, and airports. That reduction could push cities to reconsider and replace parking infrastructure, leading to more vibrant cities and less dependency on cars. |
New measurement method for radioactive methane Posted: 20 Mar 2019 07:19 AM PDT Researchers have made a first step towards creating a precise measuring device for radioactive methane. |
Want in on nanotechnology? Capitalize on collaborative environments Posted: 20 Mar 2019 07:19 AM PDT Patent law experts demonstrate that private-public partnerships lead to promising innovation output measured in patents. Collaborations between private entities and public institutions have the potential to improve technology transfer in nanotechnology. Nations entering the nano-space can capitalize on collaborative environments, developing frameworks and close institutional networks between entities active in nanotechnology. |
Fish-inspired material changes color using nanocolumns Posted: 20 Mar 2019 07:19 AM PDT Inspired by the flashing colors of the neon tetra fish, researchers have developed a technique for changing the color of a material by manipulating the orientation of nanostructured columns in the material. |
