The U.S. Department of Education has awarded $895,000 to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) through its program, Graduate Assistance in Areas of National Need (GAAN). With the funds, WPI will provide six needs-based fellowships to U.S. […]
A cross-disciplinary research team led by Subhanshu Gupta, assistant professor in Washington State University’s School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, has designed an implantable, biofuel-powered sensor that runs on glucose harvested from body fluids […]
The University of Waterloo’s School of Optometry and Vision Science now features a new virtual reality (VR) training lab funded through an $800,000 CAN investment by FYidoctors. The lab simulates a patient’s eye and provides […]
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Eshelman School of Pharmacy have demonstrated an artificial-intelligence design that can teach itself how to design new drug molecules and has the potential to dramatically […]
Researchers at MIT have developed microscopic chemical sensors that can be sprayed as an aerosol mist. Spray-able sensors could someday be used to detect gas leaks, pollution from power plants, volatile organic compounds, and other […]
Medical professionals from the National Defense Medical College (NDMC) in Japan recently participated in a subject matter expert exchange with their counterparts at the Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD). NDMC is Japan’s six-year university-level […]
Researchers at MIT have developed an ingestible sensor equipped with genetically engineered bacteria, that can diagnose bleeding in the stomach or other gastrointestinal problems. Called a “bacteria-on-a-chip”, the technology combines sensors made from living cells […]
People who suffer tendon, ligament and joint injuries often require surgery followed by a rehabilitation period to restore the repair site to its pre-injury function. Existing implantable sensors – designed to be able to measure […]
Researchers from the University of California San Diego are set to launch a pilot clinical trial of a noninvasive, low-cost, single-use tattoo-like wearable that measures the user’s glucose levels. The sensor is flexible and ultra-thin, […]
UCLA Health Sciences received a $20 million commitment from Los Angeles commercial real estate developers, Eugene and Maxine Rosenfeld, to expand and revitalize its learning resource center, which currently houses the UCLA Simulation Center. The […]
