Engineers at Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new technology that will help the body repair traumatic bone injuries more effectively and at lower cost than current methods. The technology involves using a new system to deliver proteins, called growth factors, to the damaged bone.  The new delivery system binds BMP-2 (protein) with micro particles of the drug heparin to tightly bound to it and help controlled bone growth.   For more details visit : https://www.as...

University of Illinois has developed an ultra thin electronic patch with mechanics of skin that can be used for monitoring your health 24/7. The patch may be the size of a small tattoo, the skin part of the body is a great point of integration and it allows devices that are skin-like to intimately integrate very advanced semiconductor technology and sensors with the body. In future, leveraging the near-field coupling technology with the skin monitoring one may be able to use smartphone...

Get vaccinated for diseases like hepatitis B and cholera by simply taking a bite of banana. Researchers have successfully engineered bananas, potatoes, lettuce, carrots and tobacco to produce vaccines, but they say bananas are the ideal production and delivery vehicle. When an altered form of a virus is injected into a banana sapling, the virus’ genetic material quickly becomes a permanent part of the plant’s cells. As the plant grows, its cells produce the virus proteins — but not the in...

British scientists have created a breed of genetically modified hens that produce cancer-fighting medicines in their eggs. The animals have had human genes added to their DNA so that human proteins are secreted into the whites of their eggs, along with complex medicinal proteins similar to drugs used to treat skin cancer and other diseases. What exactly do these disease-fighting eggs contain? The hens lay eggs that have miR24, a molecule with potential for treating malignant melanoma and ...

Scientists at the University of Washington are engineering poplar trees that can clean up contamination sites by absorbing groundwater pollutants through their roots. The plants then break the pollutants down into harmless byproducts that are incorporated into their roots, stems and leaves or released into the air. In laboratory tests, the transgenic plants are able to remove as much as 91 percent of trichloroethylene — the most common groundwater contaminant at U.S. Superfund sites — out...

OLEDs (organic Light Emitting Diodes ) are made up of thin films of organic compounds that generate light when zapped with electricity. Besides consuming less power than light-emitting diodes (LEDs) or liquid crystal displays (LCDs), OLEDs also offer brighter, sharper resolutions, all while measuring 100 to 500 nanometers thick (that’s roughly 200 times thinner than the width of a human hair!) This may sound like a pipe dream, but Sony is already working on an entire line of OLED computer scr...

With the new Bionic contacts, Live data can be streamed directly before your eyes. Developed through a partnership with Aalto University in Finland, the “bionic” contact uses metal circuits only a few nanometers thick, or roughly one-thousandth the width of a human hair. An on-lens antenna draws radio-frequency radiation from an external source before transferring the energy to the integrated circuit for storage. The lens then transmits the information to a transparent sapphire chip that cont...

Harvard stem cell researchers announced that they have made a giant leap forward in the quest to find a truly effective treatment for type 1 diabetes, a condition that affects an estimated 3 million Americans at a cost of about $15 billion annually: With human embryonic stem cells as a starting point, the scientists are for the first time able to produce, in the kind of massive quantities needed for cell transplantation and pharmaceutical purposes, human insulin-producing beta cells equivalen...

For people who suffer from migraines, cluster headaches, and other causes of chronic, excruciating head or facial pain, the "take two aspirins and call me in the morning" method is useless. Doctors have long associated the most severe, chronic forms of headache with the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG), a facial nerve bundle, but haven't yet found a treatment that works on the SPG long-term. A technology under clinical investigation at Autonomic Technologies, Inc., (Redwood City, CA) is a patien...

WiTricity builds a "Source Resonator," a coil of electrical wire that generates a magnetic field when power is attached. If another coil is brought close, an electrical charge can be generated in it. No wires required. "When you bring a device into that magnetic field, it induces a current in the device, and by that you're able to transfer power," Don't worry about getting zapped, the magnetic fields used to transfer energy are "perfectly safe" -- in fact, they are the same kind of fields...

A fridge for the common man that does not require electricity and keeps food fresh too. With this basic parameter in mind 'Mitticool', a fridge made of clay was developed for rural areas.   It works on the principle of evaporation.  Water from the upper chambers drips down the side, and gets evaporated taking away heat from the inside , leaving the chambers cool. The top upper chamber is used to store water. A small lid made from clay is provided on top. A small faucet tap is also...

Researchers from Caltech have developed a solar-powered, self-cleaning toilet able to convert human waste into hydrogen and fertilizer. Caltech’s toilet system uses the sun to power an electrochemical reactor. The reactor breaks down water and human waste into fertilizer and hydrogen, which can be stored in hydrogen fuel cells as energy. The treated water can then be reused to flush the toilet or for irrigation. The system can function off-grid and without any subsurface infrastructure. ...
