n ON THE COVER
The 21st annual " Create the Future " Design Contest for
engineers, students, and entrepreneurs worldwide drew
more than 500 innovative product ideas from engineers
and students in from 60 countries from around the world.
A competition among the finalists from all categories took
place November 10, at which the grand prize winner was
selected by a panel of judges. The medical finalist presents
a new treatment approach for spinal cord injury. NeuroPair's
fast and minimally invasive approach generates an injectable
scaffold of aligned magnetic nanoparticles to create
conditions for protecting, healing, and regrowing neurons that were damaged during
spinal cord injury. The scaffold guides the direction of neuronal regrowth and may help
enable recovery. To learn more, read the article on page 22, which introduces the
Medical Category finalist as well as those who received honorable mention.
