Researchers have combined a longstanding printing method with materials science to produce a new way to develop wearable technology and other smart garments. Researchers at Oregon State University have developed a printable ink based on binary metal iodide salts that can thermally transform into a perovskite, one of a broad class of crystalline materials that is better known for its use in photovoltaics. This transformation paves the way for electronic components, like circuits, to be directly ...

Clothes In The Future Could Be Made Of Algae Advertisement I did not think that I would be writing about Algae and clothes at the same time but apparently, a research team in the Netherlands has developed a bioprinting technique that prints algae into living, photosynthetic materials that are both tough and resilient. This material can be woven into clothes. The group published their research in the journal Advanced Functional Materials. It surely is a new way to make clothes and may reduce the...

For the first time, researchers at the University of Rochester and Delft University of Technology have used 3D printers and a novel bioprinting technique to print algae into living, photosynthetic materials that are tough and resilient.

Enhancing Effectiveness of drugs Against Prostate Cancer by Angela Mohan on  April 21, 2021 at 5:04 PM Advanced Functional Materials. Researchers also investigated whether this system helps more drugs across the vessel wall and deeply into the tumor tissue. Although nucleotide drugs offer advantages in treating tumors and other diseases, they often suffer from a poor efficiency of crossing the blood vessels and entering the tumor tissue, where their targets reside. This probl...

VIDEO: Scientists led by NTU Singapore have developed an eco-friendly pollen sponge to tackle water contaminants, making it a promising alternative to tackle marine oil spills. view more  Credit: NTU Singapore A team of scientists led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has created a reusable, biodegradable sponge that can readily soak up oil and other organic solvents from contaminated water sources, making it a promising alternative for tackl...

NTU Singapore Last year, we heard how scientists had created eco-friendly soft gel particles from hard grains of pollen. Now, theyve used those particles to create sponges that could soak up oil spills, then biodegrade once used up. Developed by a team from Singapores Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and South Koreas Sungkyunkwan University, the gel-making process is described as being similar to the production of soap. The scientists started with pollen grains from sunflowers, which were...

 E-Mail Imagine using stem cells from your bone marrow to grow a piece of bone tissue in the lab, after which medical doctors explore which drugs have the desired effect on your bones. In this way, a tailor-made treatment plan would be made for everyone, with the best approach being clear in advance. Personalized medicine at its best. That vision of the future is no longer science fiction now that researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology and Radboud university medical center have a...
