Engineers from UCLA and their peers have created a novel design methodology that will allow manufacturers to 3D print robots in a single step, with their creations having movement and jumping abilities. Robots are normally constructed via a series of intricate manufacturing stages that include limbs, electronics, and active components. As a result of the […]

Sufferers from type-1 and type-2 diabetes might soon have an implant that can help control their therapies made from engineered human cells, making patients’ live a whole lot more comfortable. In a recent study published in the journal Science Advances, researchers from the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering, ETH Zurich, Switzerland, revealed that they […]
Regenerative medicine business behind the first 3D printed ear implant, 3DBio Therapeutics, said today in a news release that doctors successfully transplanted a 3D-printed ear derived from human cells onto a woman born with a congenital ear malformation. The transplant was part of the technology’s first clinical study, and its success is a significant step […]
The world has been facing a succession of contagious diseases which left several sectors crumbling from the effects of lengthy lockdowns. While the Earth stood still for several years due to the coronavirus pandemic, the economic and social effects have been resounding with countries trying to come out of a severe recession. COVID-19 is still […]
Pharmaceutical companies including Novartis and Roche have teamed up with global cancer organisations in an alliance aimed at getting more oncology medications to poorer countries. Currently, fewer than 50% of the cancer drugs on the World Health Organization’s (WHO) essential medicines list are available in low and middle income countries, and the disease burden is […]
The United States will share technologies used to make COVID-19 vaccines through the World Health Organization and is working to expand rapid testing and antiviral treatments for hard-to-reach populations, President Joe Biden said on Thursday. Speaking at the second global COVID-19 summit, Biden called on Congress to provide additional funds so that the U.S. may […]
Google’s Alphabet Moonshot factory, you can say it is something out of the ordinary, and the people working there, well, they kind of fit under the same description but with their talent. They think to give us the answers to some of the most critical questions, placing it as one of the few mind factories […]
The internet of things (IoT) is certainly not a new concept in the world of technology and engineering. With the improvement in connectivity, new use cases notably IoT healthcare applications have emerged. The idea of connected physical devices or “things” has existed for a long time with software-enabled sensing devices communicating data among others or […]
Creating a technology that demands the comprehensive analysis of brain signals and then mentally interpreting them into actions commanded through a device’s output to action these commands, would give birth to a direct communication link between brain and machines, referred to as Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). What is Brain Computer Interface? While this might seem like […]
If you are old enough to have watched the series “Bones,” then for sure you have bumped into the “Angelator,” a holographic projector developed for forensics. Based on data and evidence collected from the crime scene, a reconstruction is achieved, allowing inspectors to visualize a 3D representation of the victim or weapons used and study […]
