New hydrogel can repair tears in human tissue
EPFL scientists have developed an injectable gel that can attach to various kinds of soft internal tissues and repair tears resulting from an accident or trauma. Our soft tissues can be torn…
‘Brain glue’ helps repair circuitry in severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Researchers have developed a hydrogel, or “brain glue,” that can repair tissue following traumatic brain injury. At a cost of $38 billion a year, an estimated 5.3 million people are living with…
New system that uses smartphone or computer cameras to measure pulse, respiration rate could help future personalized telehealth appointments
Telehealth has become a critical way for doctors to still provide health care while minimizing in-person contact during COVID-19. But with phone or Zoom appointments, it’s harder for doctors to get important…
3D-printing perovskites on graphene makes next-gen X-ray detectors
By using 3D aerosol jet-printing to put perovskites on graphene, scientists at EPFL have made X-ray detectors with record sensitivity that can greatly improve the efficiency and reduce the cost and health…
