TWIICE One exoskeleton is a step towards independence
The new version of the TWIICE walking-assistance system is not only lighter, more comfortable and more powerful, but patients can also put it on and use it themselves.
Using muscle power for healing
Bioengineers have developed biocompatible generators that create electrical pulses when compressed by body motions.
Touch-sensing glove detects and maps tactile stimuli
Engineers have designed a new touch-sensing glove that can “feel” pressure and other tactile stimuli. The design could help restore motor function after stroke.
Face mask detects Covid-19 infection
Engineers have designed a novel face mask that can diagnose the wearer with Covid-19 within about 90 minutes.
E-textiles made with new cellulose thread
Researchers have developed a thread made of conductive cellulose, which offers practical possibilities for electronic textiles.
Diamond-studded silk wound dressing improves healing
Scientists have developed a next generation wound dressing that can detect infection and improve healing in burns, skin grafts and chronic wounds.
Silk improves bioink for artificial organs
Researchers mechanically reprocess silk into a biologically compatible component of bioinks that improves the structural fidelity of 3D-printed hydrogels containing cells for use in drug development and regrowing lost or damaged body
Smart fabrics with bioactive inks monitor body
Researchers have developed biomaterial-based inks that respond to and quantify chemicals released from the body or in the surrounding environment by changing color.
Swimming 3D printed donuts deliver therapies inside body
Researchers have developed a way to 3D print custom microswimmers that can transport drugs and nanotherapeutic agents, as well as potentially manipulate tissue directly inside the body.
