A wireless sensor small enough to be implanted in the blood vessels of the human brain could help clinicians evaluate the healing of aneurysms — bulges that can cause death or serious injury if they burst. The stretchable sensor, which operates without batteries, would be wrapped around stents or diverters implanted to control blood flow in vessels affected by the aneurysms.

Superior Process Quality With Picosun’s new R&D PEALD Technology
Picosun Group, a supplier of AGILE ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) thin film coating solutions, reports excellent results obtained with its next generation R&D PEALD (plasma-enhanced ALD) technology.
Researchers Develop Process Flow for High-Res 3D Printing of Mini Soft Robotic Actuators
SUTD, SUSTech and ZJU researchers’ proposed process flow guides 3D printing of miniature soft pneumatic actuators. Integrating the prints into a robotic system offers potential applications in jet-engine maintenance and minimally invasive surgery.
Theory Reveals the Nature of Crystals Defects (of Silicon Carbide)
Imperfections of crystal structure, especially edge dislocations of an elongated nature, deeply modify basic properties of the entire material and, in consequence, drastically limit its applications. Using silicon carbide as an example, physicists from Cracow and Warsaw have shown that even such computationally demanding defects can be successfully examined with atomic accuracy by means of a cleverly constructed, small in size, model.
Smarter Experiments For Faster Materials Discovery
Scientists created a new AI algorithm for making measurement decisions; autonomous approach could revolutionize scientific experiments.
