Monitoring cardiovascular signals and multiple biochemical levels together on one tiny wearable patch has always been a far-fetched dream in the nanotech world. Scientists across the globe are still trying to figure it out however, researchers at the University of California San Diego have done something extraordinary in soft, stretchy skin patch.

Origami Inspired Bags for Rocket Fuel: Cryogenic Hydrogen
Storage and pumping fuel to rocket engines are the main challenges for travel beyond Earth and between celestial bodies. Researchers at Washington State University (WSU) have come up with an interesting idea of paper folding technique to bring about the desired architecture.

We as humans have a huge legacy of evolution yet we always fall short in front of nature. Nature has its own rate of progression and it never fails.
Read MoreTidal Disruption causes Dark Matter to Evaporate: Intra Galactic Interactions
Dark matter is one of the key ingredients in the understanding of evolution and in the formation of galaxies. Majority of scientists are of the view that dark matter consists of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMP). It is because of their weak interactions with matter that we see around, it becomes extremely difficult to detect.

Until now, astronomers had classified nuclear fusion that is taking place within the core of the Sun is due to Proton Proton Cycle. However, an international scientific collaboration at the INFN Gran Sasso Laboratories, Italy were able to detect neutrinos in the Sun by the CNO cycle.

Ocean-Monitoring Satellite Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich launched at 9:17 a.m. PST on Nov. 21, 2020, from Space Launch Complex-4 at Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) in California.

Data from the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys’ Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) has hinted at the presence of possible “fossil galaxy” within the core of our Milky Way.
Read MoreTactile Sensation For Soft Robotics: Stretchable Sensor
Sensors that could stretch will pave way towards new intelligent soft systems. Working on the same line of thought Cornell researchers have combined fiber-optic sensor with no so expensive LEDs (light-emitting diode) and dyes. The outcome is a form of a stretchable “skin” that is able to spot topographical distortions like pressure, bending and strain.

People who suffer from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have an extremely tough time as they age. Cure for ALS is not known as of now. And it can last for a lifelong.
Read MoreOctopus Inspired Device For Transferring Delicate Implants: Biomimicry
Researchers at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and collaborators have come with up an innovative way to surgical grip the fragile tissue grafts. Generally, during the ultra-thin tissue grafts, the grip leads to the collapse of structural integrity and functionality of soft tissues transplants. It has always been a challenge to preserve them during grafting and transferring process.

In an interesting finding, scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Boston Children’s Hospital have discovered that physically pressing microscopic intra-cellular structures together can trigger cells to grow faster. This phenomenon at microscopic level resembles the spread of things like ideas, interests and even infections within a close proximity of people.
Read MoreBiodegradable Electronic Blood Vessels: Tissue Interactions
In a joint effort, researchers at China and Switzerland have developed electronic blood vessels that mimics their natural counterparts. Most of the times, some foreign agent when implanted within the human body display uncertain behaviour. Incompatibility is a critical issue and at times, it often leads to tissue trauma.
Read MoreMemory Consolidation via Excitatory And Inhibitory Networks: Neuronal Circuits
Until now, neuroscientists believed that during memory consolidation only “one” excitatory process occurs and that also in the Hippocampus region of the brain. Lately, McGill-led multi-institutional research team has discovered that there is not one but two different processes that are simultaneously taking place in different neural network within brain.

Rescue missions under natural disasters or man-made catastrophes are not only threatening for the safety of people but also quiet complex and dangerous for a rescue team. In order to increase the efficiency, robots are used in search and rescue (SAR) missions.
Read MorePETase with MHETase Speed Up The Breakdown Of Plastic: Enzyme Innovation
We live in a plastic era. Ubiquitously, the substance is found in our household and communities across the globe. Not only we have filled up our land but also oceans with plastic. Worldwide waste management market size is expected to reach $484.9 billion by 2025 from $303.6 billion in 2017.
