Noninvasive self-powered iontophoresis mask based on a water-driven fiber battery

Research
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A noninvasive self-powered iontophoresis mask based on a water-driven fiber battery has been reported by Mingwei Tian's group at Qingdao University. A zinc-manganese fiber battery (Zn-Mn@FB) was constructed by continuously preparing long-fiber electrodes in a self-built device, and then seamlessly integrated with a nonwoven cellulose-based superabsorbent fibers (SAFs) substrate.

Tiny vibrations have a massive impact: Transmitting clear signals over long distances using nonlinear math

Nagoya University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A research team at Nagoya University in Japan has discovered a surprising phenomenon that could revolutionize how we think about signal amplification. Just two tiny vibrating units can, when connected with a delay, amplify their combined vibrations by 100 million times. Their findings have applications for communication technology, suggesting that small, simple devices could be used to transmit clear signals over long distances.

MRI breakthrough could revolutionize diagnosis of common heart problem aortic stenosis

University of East Anglia
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers have developed cutting-edge MRI technology to diagnose a common heart problem more quickly and accurately than ever before.

Aortic stenosis is a progressive and potentially fatal condition, affecting about five per cent of 65-year-olds in the US - with increasing prevalence in advancing age.

Symptoms include chest pains, a rapid fluttering heartbeat and feeling dizzy, short of breath and fatigued – particularly with activity.

The new study reveals how a four-dimensional flow (4D flow) MRI scan can diagnose aortic stenosis more reliably than current ultrasound techniques.

The superior accuracy of the new test means doctors can better predict when patients will require surgery.
