Low-cost, pollution-free solution to infrastructure problem: New self-healing concrete has fungi that “heals” cracks in crumbling structures

America’s infrastructure has seen better days. The American Society of Civil Engineers scored the country a near-failing D+ in its 2017 Infrastructure Report Card. D’s and C’s were given across the board, with the railway system being the only category to have scored a B. Those grades could be changing for the better in the […]

The rise of Terminator-like machines: Biohybrid robot made with muscles grown from hydrogel sheets

What did Japanese researchers do when they found a new way to grow biological muscles out of hydrogel sheets? Why, make cyborgs, of course. An article in Science Daily detailed how they created a robot with living tissue over a metal endoskeleton using their newly developed technique. This prototype is the latest Frankensteinian creation of […]

Engineers are developing a fluorescent microscope that doesn’t use lenses and captures 3D data

Microscopes are essential tools in various fields of science, but much like other forms of technology, scientists have decided that the bulky microscope should have a portable – tiny even – version, to make it possible to use it to image many of the areas deep inside the body. Traditional fluorescent microscopes are important tools […]

Titanium biomedical implants being coated with diamonds to improve wear and resistance

Has the technology behind biomedical implants already reached its peak? Judging by the fact that there are still many instances in which people’s bodies reject their implants once they get them, it appears there’s still a lot of improvements that can be made. That’s exactly what one group of researchers from Australia’s RMIT (Royal Melbourne […]
