The tiny device can be inserted with a syringe, then it dissolves after it’s no longer needed.

A èßäÉçÇø team has developed soft wireless body sensors that replace the tangle of wire-based sensors that currently monitor babies in neonatal intensive care units and obstruct parent-baby cuddles.

Professor Samuel Stupp’s lab is leveraging a big discovery to enhance tissue regeneration to reverse paralysis in a preclinical model of acute spinal cord injury.

èßäÉçÇø engineers have developed a tiny implant to house living engineered cells that synthesize and deliver therapy when needed, eliminating the need for injections, pharmacy trips and medication storage.

Chemist Richard Silverman and neurologist P. Hande Ozdinler created an experimental drug to remove protein buildups that inhibit brain function. Originally developed to treat ALS, the drug shows promise in treating Alzheimer’s and other diseases.

On a quest to end the scourge of neurodegenerative disease, researchers led by Tamar Gefen are working to reveal the secrets to understanding memory and aging.

èßäÉçÇø students developed a pen that enables Parkinson’s patients to write again. The SteadyScrib pen’s wide, pliable grip makes it easier to hold and negates the effects of shaking and tremors.

An international team of investigators has made a discovery that challenges the current understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and may inform the development of new targeted therapies that reduce amyloid plaque formation.

This new device uses microbubbles to open the blood-brain barrier and treat glioblastoma in humans.

An unexpected finding could help scientists better understand how cancer grows — and how to fight it.

A newly developed scoring system could enhance risk prediction and guide treatment decisions for colorectal cancer.

èßäÉçÇø researchers have discovered a new way to potentially treat cancer by targeting and removing harmful proteins from cells.

With worker shortages predicted in healthcare and social services, èßäÉçÇø engineers are developing dexterous, intelligent robot hands to assist humans with manufacturing, caregiving and handling precious materials.

Using seawater, electricity and carbon dioxide, èßäÉçÇø scientists have developed a new carbon-negative building material.

èßäÉçÇø mineralogist Steven Jacobsen is exploring new methods for building a lunar outpost using the moon’s own resources.

èßäÉçÇø engineers have developed a new soft, flexible device that makes robots move by expanding and contracting — just like a human muscle.

Professor Julius Lucks and his team have created a device to quickly test water for 17 different contaminants, including lead, antibiotics, cosmetics and cleaning products.

Pulling contaminants from water

Scientist Will Dichtel has developed a low-cost, sustainable water purification method that acts like a magnet to remove pesticides, pharmaceuticals and “forever chemicals.”

èßäÉçÇø researchers have demonstrated that brewing tea naturally adsorbs heavy metals like lead and cadmium, effectively filtering dangerous contaminants out of drinks.

Scientists reimagine the lifecycle for non-renewables like metals and phosphate thanks to a special sponge that slurps pollutants, offering a reusable and cost-effective solution to water contamination.
