Chitin hydrogel is recognized as a promising material for a variety of biomedical applications. Its biocompatibility and biodegradability make it useful in tissue repair, artificial organs, and wound healing. Yet scientists ...
Due to the unclear distribution characteristics and causes of fluoride in groundwater of Mihe-Weihe River Basin (China), there is a higher risk for the future development and utilization of groundwater. Based on the systematic ...
Prof. Amit Bandyopadhyay's group from Washington State University presents a knowledge-based discussion of the challenges and possible future directions for the fabrication and application of porous metallic implants.
Received wisdom says that staying out in the sun too long can make your skin tougher over time. Think about the "leathery" complexions of farmers, road crews and others who work long hours outdoors, or someone who spends ...
One of the more unusual ways objects can increase longevity is by sacrificing a part of themselves—from dummy burial chambers used to deceive tomb raiders, to a fuse melting in an electrical circuit to safeguard appliances, ...
Engineers from Rice University and the University of Maryland have created full-motion video technology that could potentially be used to make cameras that peer through fog, smoke, driving rain, murky water, skin, bone and ...
Engineering organs to replace damaged hearts or kidneys in the human body may seem like something out of a sci-fi movie, but the building blocks for this technology are already in place. In the burgeoning field of tissue ...
In May and June of 2018, Australia's first near-complete skull of a sauropod—a group of long-tailed, long-necked, small-headed dinosaurs—was found on a sheep station northwest of Winton in Queensland.
Last week, an Australian "cultured meat" company called Vow made headlines with a meatball made from the flesh of a wooly mammoth—or something very much like it. Combining the technologies of lab-based cell culture and ...
A new way of using 3D printing to create infection-fighting materials for use as medical implants has been revealed in a new research paper, published in Advanced Materials Technologies.
