Lithium-ion batteries in personal electronic devices (PEDs) such as laptops, smartphones, powerbanks and electronic cigarettes can pose a serious safety risk in air travel. Damaged or overheated ...

Scientists have developed a fuel cell that uses microbes in soil to produce electricity. The device can power underground sensors for tasks like monitoring moisture or detecting touch, without needing ...

Fibrosis is the body's way of patching up damage—a bit like fixing a pothole. When skin is cut or a muscle is injured, fibroblast cells rush in to make fibronectin and collagen, which are two major ...

Cells are squishy and soft. Tiny nanometer-sized particles such as quantum sensors cannot move freely inside them due to viscous drag, which makes sensing challenging. Researchers at the Indian ...

A team led by La Trobe University has drawn inspiration from nature to develop a breakthrough sensor that can rapidly track tiny molecular changes in blood, paving the way to real-time, personalised ...

Fuel cell sensors are electrochemical devices designed for precise measurement. In measurement applications, they have become the gold standard for breath alcohol concentration detection, valued for ...

The technology, called the Viral-Engineered RNA-based Activation System (VERAS), hijacks the virus's own replication machinery to switch on reporter or therapeutic genes precisely in infected cells.

In industrial automation, sensors are not just accessories, they are critical components that directly affect machine performance, operator safety and production efficiency. A poorly selected sensor ...

BONADUZ, Switzerland, Dec. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hamilton today announced the launch of GlucoSense, a breakthrough in bioprocess analytics that introduces the first reusable, in situ glucose sensor ...

A USA TODAY/Peacock survey reveals that women disproportionately carry the "mental load" of parenting. The survey found 43% of women report feeling burned out or emotionally exhausted from these ...

Diamond nanoparticles containing nitrogen-vacancy centers can now monitor cellular metabolism in real time, targeting specific organelles while tracking particle movement inside living cells.
