Credit: NTU Singapore Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a new biomaterial made entirely from discarded bullfrog skin and fish scales that could help in bone repair. The porous biomaterial, which contains the same compounds that are predominant in bones, acts as a scaffold for bone-forming cells to adhere to and multiply, leading to the formation of new bone. Through laboratory experiments, the NTU Singapore team found that human bone-forming cells seeded onto the biomaterial scaffold successfully attached themselves and started multiplyi...

Share Robots and machines are getting smarter with the advancement of artificial intelligence, but they still lack the ability to touch and feel their subtle and complex surroundings like human beings. Now, researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have invented a smart foam that can give machines more than a human touch. Called artificially innervated foam, or AiFoam, the new material – which is soft and feels like a sponge – mimics the human sense of touch, can sense nearby objects without actually touching, and repairs itself when damaged. Compared with other conventi...

Stop the fancy words in battle against Covid 9 9 The small drop in the number of new Covid-19 new cases to under 2,000 yesterday may look like a good sign. But it doesn't mean we -- and our government -- can relax yet. A total of 1,871 new cases and 10 deaths in one day tells us there's still a long battle ahead. While medical staff countrywide have worked hard to curb the third ferocious outbreak, the government is continuing with a failed communication strategy. For over a year, we have watched the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) report shocking daily statistics on t...
