Bandage with a voice alerts nursing staff

Sensors incorporated into the base material glow with a different intensity if the wound's pH level changes. This way even chronic wounds could be monitored at home.

Killing bacteria with a silver-cotton nanocomposite material

Researchers have developed an inexpensive, effective and environmentally friendly method to kill bacteria by creating silver nanoparticles inside cotton fibers.

Discovery of nanosheets with the highest ever hydroxyl ion conductivity

Technology may contribute to the realization of highly efficient solid alkaline fuel cells.

Wireless energy harvester for implants

Researchers demonstrate the self-powered wireless data transmission enabled by harvesting in vivo biomechanical energy with a high-performance piezoelectric energy harvester in a large animal model.

Molecular insights into water desalination with graphene oxide membranes

Scientists performed a pressure-driven flow simulation of ionic aqueous solutions across bilayer graphene oxide membranes to investigate the effects of staggered nanoslits on desalination properties using classical molecular dynamics simulation.
