‘Self-aware’ and self-powered metamaterial implants
Jun 03, 2022 (Nanowerk Spotlight) Medical research is moving quickly towards a future where smart medical implants can continuously monitor their condition inside the body and autonomously respond to changes such as for instance infection by releasing anti-inflammatory agents. Some examples that researchers have already demonstrated are sensors that can...
Avatar against food waste
Jun 03, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Around one third of all food worldwide ends up in the trash bin instead of on our plate. One reason is unfavorable storage conditions along production and supply chains, including suboptimal storage at home. With the help of digital twins, researchers at Empa and Stellenbosch...
