Researchers Design New Device That Uses Body as a Battery

CU Boulder researchers have designed a low-cost wearable device that uses the human body as a biological battery. The device is made of a stretchy material that allows an individual to wear it as a bracelet, ring or other accessory. The device harnesses an individual’s natural heat and uses thermoelectric generators to turn the internal temperature of an individual’s body into electricity. The paper was published in the “Science Advances” journal. Associate professor at the Paul M.

Hydrogel Injection Could Change Cardiac Tissue Healing After Heart Attacks

Researchers at Spain’s University of Valladolid, BIOFORGE Labs, the SFI Research Center and CÚRAM have created a hydrogel injectable that may prevent additional damage and assist in repairing heart muscles following a heart attack. Heart disease, or myocardial infarction, is the most common cause of death owing to irreversible damage of cardiac tissue after a heart attack. As tissue regeneration is minimal, any damage to heart muscle can’t be self-repaired. Present-day treatments lack an efficacious way to improve heart muscle repair and prevent death after a heart attack. The project’s lead, Professor Abhay Pandit, scientific director of CÚRAM, explained that…

Researchers Find That Lower Temperatures Boost Coronavirus Transmission

The coronavirus pandemic has affected many industries and economies worldwide, in addition to causing the deaths of more than 500,000 people in America and 2.3-plus million people globally. Understanding how seasonal temperature changes affect virus transmission is crucial in decreasing the spread of the virus in the future. The virus that causes the coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, is part of a larger coronavirus family, which aren’t spread as easily in warmer parts and during humid times in the year. Instead, the spread of these viruses increases in less humid times in cooler places. With this information in mind, researchers from the Joint…
