    Edible electronics: How a seaweed second skin could transform health and fitness sensor tech - 2 year(s) ago

    Scientists from University of Sussex have developed biodegradable algae-based hydrogels for strain sensing devices – such as those used in health monitors worn by runners and hospital patients to track heart rate – using natural elements like rock salt, water and seaweed, combined with graphene. As well as being more environmentally friendly than polymer-based hydrogels, commonly used in health…

    What crocodile DNA reveals about the Ice Age - 2 year(s) ago

    What drives crocodile evolution? Is climate a major factor or changes in sea levels? Determined to find answers to these questions, researchers from McGill University discovered that while changing temperatures and rainfall had little impact on the crocodiles’ gene flow over the past three million years, changes to sea levels during the Ice Age had a different effect.

    A sea change for plastic pollution: New material biodegrades in ocean water - 3 year(s) ago

    Seeking solutions to counteract a rapid rise in plastic trash, scientists at UC San Diego have developed biodegradable material that is designed to replace conventionally used plastic. In a new study, an interdisciplinary team of researchers has shown that the material biodegrades in seawater.

    Biodegradable, Hygienic, and Compostable Tableware from Hybrid Sugarcane and Bamboo Fibers as Plastic Alternative - 5 year(s) ago

    This work mixed long bamboo fibers with the sugarcane bagasse fibers to enhance the mechanical strength of the resultant plastic alternatives. The obtained tableware has excellent performances required for food packaging, including low heavy metal content, oil stability, excellent hydrophobicity, and high mechanical strength. More importantly, our tableware can be biodegraded under natural…

    Human adipose–derived mesenchymal stem cell–based medical microrobot system for knee cartilage regeneration in vivo - 5 year(s) ago

    Targeted cell delivery by a magnetically actuated microrobot with a porous structure is a promising technique to enhance the low targeting efficiency of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) in tissue regeneration. However, the relevant research performed to date is only in its proof-of-concept stage. To use the microrobot in a clinical stage, biocompatibility and biodegradation materials should be…
