Engineers at the University of Notre Dame have pinpointed why exhaled breath tests often produce inconsistent results, solving a problem that has stalled the diagnostic method for decades. The discovery provides the physical basis for a new invention in sample collectors, ensuring that noninvasive breath monitors can reliably detect pulmonary diseases without invasive procedures.
Engineers at Binghamton University have developed a bacteria-powered biobattery that produces over eight times more electricity per unit volume than conventional flat designs. The biological invention copies the shape, material, and mechanics of the villi that line the human small intestine to keep electricity-generating microbes alive and active.
