This novel technology allows for the creation of conductive tracks on fabric, making it a potential solution for a wide range of wearables.

Using short, intense short pulses of xenon light, researchers devised a way to fuse silver nanowires on polyester fabric into a highly conductive patch, yielding heatable material that can keep the wearer warm.

Researchers developed a prototype energy-harvesting transducer for medical implants, such as pacemakers, using normal motion of the heart-related blood vessels to generate critical power.

This Pennsylvania company’s technical expertise gives disabled skiers a safer, swifter ride.

By using an array of red and near-infrared LEDs, a research team developed an optically based, non-invasive system for 2D mapping of the blood oxygen saturation across a patient’s skin.

Biomedical engineers and surgeons did much better than they thought when designing and implanting knee and hip replacements.

The students developed and are marketing a low-cost, reusable breast biopsy instrument.

Tagging tumors with carbon nanotubes that fluoresce under near-infrared light helps improve surgical survival rates.

Researchers developed a self-powered, in-situ, biodegradable sensor of fluid flow in blood vessels that combines a capacitive pressure transducer with an RF antenna.
