Micro-windmills energise cellphones, business interest
1.8mm wind turbines could be used to power cellphones, microelectronics, and have attracted the interested of WindMEMS.
Vibrational molecular pathology
IR and Raman spectral imaging can distinguish between tissue types, disease types and stages, and even identify the primary tumors from spectral patterns observed in metastatic cells.
Better conducting gel for better EEG readings
Researchers suggest using conducting polymers as a new type of dry (gel-free) electrode for EEG.
