Aqueous droplet formation by liquid-liquid phase separation (or coacervation) in macromolecules is a hot topic in life sciences research.

Wearable hyperthermia device developed for tumor treatment-

Smart tattoos glow to give you medical insight about your body.

Many electronic devices need lithium-ion batteries as a power source. However, lithium presents serious sustainability challenges. This article looks at the sustainable alternatives to lithium for battery applications.

A new silk-based material under skin changes color in response to oxygen in the blood. It could be adapted to track glucose and other blood components.

When treating patients for certain conditions, it's important to monitor their blood oxygen levels. A new sub-dermal photosensitive sensor provides a new means of doing so, plus it could one day be used to measure other blood-borne substances.

Research reports a scalable platform developed by a combination of microtomy and vapor-liquid-solid growth of III/V nanowires (NWs).

Scientists from Utrecht University have built a new kind of sensor with an unparalleled capability to find very small amounts of molecules.

Engineering researchers at the University of California - San Diego have invented an advanced brain-computer interface (BCI) consisting of a flexible and moldable backing, as well as penetrating microneedles. The flexible backing enables the BCI to more evenly conform to the brain’s complex curved s

Russian researchers and their international collaborators have developed a full-function bioelectronic photocell using one molecule of a fluorescent protein attached to a carbon nanotube.
