Researchers have created a smart wound dressing that can sense when harmful bacteria are present and respond by releasing antibiotics only when needed. Biomedical engineers at Brown University have created a wound dressing that releases antibiotics only when harmful bacteria are detected. In a new study, the team found that the material may quickly eliminate [...]

Researchers are replacing rigid silicon-based AI hardware with stretchable, neuromorphic electronics that mimic how the brain processes information, opening new possibilities for long-term human-machine integration. Modern artificial intelligence can outperform humans in tasks ranging from image recognition to medical data analysis, but there is one environment where today’s hardware still struggles: the human body. The [...]

A newly developed biomaterial derived from natural and pharmaceutical components is showing promise as a potential treatment for periodontitis. What if a fruit best known for its massive size could help repair the damage caused by one of the world’s most common causes of tooth loss? Researchers in Brazil have developed an experimental biomaterial that [...]
