Students develop wireless-video-enabled laryngoscope to simplify intubation

May 16, 2022 by Geordie Torr

A team of bioengineering students at Rice University in Houston, Texas, have designed a simplified yet high-tech device that makes intubating patients for scheduled or emergency procedures much easier. The Gateway to Airway team developed the sleek laryngoscope with Kenneth Hiller, an anaesthesiologist in private practice who was keen to create a device that would allow … [Read more...] about Students develop wireless-video-enabled laryngoscope to simplify intubation

New ultra-thin fuel cell could use the body’s own glucose to power implants

May 13, 2022 by Geordie Torr

A team of engineers from MIT and the Technical University of Munich have designed an ultra-thin glucose fuel cell that converts the sugar directly into electricity. Just 400 nanometres thick, the device generates about 43 microwatts per square centimetre, the highest power density of any glucose fuel cell to date under ambient conditions. The new device is also resilient, … [Read more...] about New ultra-thin fuel cell could use the body’s own glucose to power implants

First UK launch rocket unveiled

May 12, 2022 by Geordie Torr

UK-based spaceflight company Orbex has unveiled the first full-scale prototype of its Prime orbital space rocket on its dedicated launch pad at a new test facility in Kinloss, a few kilometres from the company’s headquarters at Forres in Moray, Scotland. The first ‘micro-launcher’ developed in Europe to reach this stage of technical readiness, Prime will now undergo a period … [Read more...] about First UK launch rocket unveiled

University professor helps to preserve historic tanks

May 11, 2022 by Geordie Torr

A Bournemouth University researcher is using technological and engineering research to help the Tank Museum in Bovington, Dorset, to find sustainable ways to preserve the 300 tanks and other military vehicles in its collection. Zulfiqar Khan, professor of design engineering and computing at BU, is helping the museum to develop new conservation facilities, install live … [Read more...] about University professor helps to preserve historic tanks

Engineers take cues from nature to create new self-sensing materials

May 11, 2022 by Geordie Torr

An international team of engineers has developed a new lightweight, 3D-printed smart architected material inspired by the cellular forms of natural porous materials such as beehives, sponge and bone, which are lightweight but robust. The team, led by engineers from the University of Glasgow, mixed a common form of industrial plastic with carbon nanotubes to create a material … [Read more...] about Engineers take cues from nature to create new self-sensing materials
