Two key brain functions which allow us to attend to new information

Posted on by Haptic

It’s long been believed that advancing age leads to broad declines in our mental abilities. Now new research from Georgetown University Medical Center offers surprisingly good news by countering this view. The findings, published August 19, 2021, in Nature Human Behaviour, show that two key brain functions, which allow us to attend to new information and Read more about Two key brain functions which allow us to attend to new information[…]

Construction of nanotubes from protein crystals

Posted on by Haptic

Researchers at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) have succeeded in constructing protein nanotubes from tiny scaffolds made by cross-linking of engineered protein crystals. The achievement could accelerate the development of artificial enzymes, nano-sized carriers and delivery systems for a host of biomedical and biotechnological applications. An innovative way for assembly of proteins into well-ordered Read more about Construction of nanotubes from protein crystals[…]

Printed tattoo electrodes for long-term diagnostics

Posted on by Haptic

Electrodes for longterm monitoring of electrical impulses of heart or muscles in the form of temporary tattoos produced using an ink-jet printer. An international research group involving TU Graz presents this novel method in Advanced Science. In the case of diagnostic methods such as electrocardiogram (ECG) and electromyography (EMG), gel electrodes are the preferred method Read more about Printed tattoo electrodes for long-term diagnostics[…]
