Self-Folding Shells: A 3D Recording Device for Single Live Cells
Using residual stress-based self-folding, a multielectrode shell wraps around primary heart cells and functions as an electrical shell-like recording device
Support-Free with “TwoCure”
A cooperation between research and industry successfully improves resin-based 3D printing.
Self-Healing of a Confined Phase Change Memory Device : One Step Closer to Storage Class Memory
Self-healing of a phase change memory device with a metallic surfactant layer opens up new pathways in storage class memory.
Biomanufacturing in Zero-G
Science fact catches up with science fiction: by exploiting magnetic levitation, biomanufacturing – creating living 3D structures – is now possible in zero gravity. Utkan Demirci discusses how this works.
Engineering Functional Cardiac Tissue
Researchers investigated whether a spider silk protein developed in the laboratory could be suitable for engineering cardiac tissue.
Bone Repair: A Breaking Story
Researchers in Barcelona have proposed a new mechanism for bone repair. They hope that the work might pave the way for advances in self-healing prostheses.
Tackling Diabetes: Toward Bifunctional Glucose and Dopamine Sensors with Plasma
A plasma-treated polyethylene is used as as an affordable and easy mediator to produce enzymatic glucose sensors that could be used for diabetic patients.
Structural Insights of Glycogen Metabolism in Exercise and Health
An integrative approach of modeling and hydrogen-deuterium exchange helps to describe the enzyme that regulates glycogen levels in muscles and liver.
