Infrared Imager Maps Out Blood Vessels
This infrared imager can be used to easily locate an individual's
blood vessels while monitoring heart rate at the same time, all
without touching the person's skin. The imager detects shortwave
infrared light (wavelengths from 1000 to 1400 nanometers), which
is right outside of the visible spectrum (400 to 700 nanometers). It
works by shining shortwave infrared light on an object or area of
interest, and then converting the low energy infrared light that's
refl ected back to the device into shorter, higher-energy wavelengths
that the human eye can see.
Tiny, Folding Actuators Spark New Ideas for Medical
Nanorobots
The world's smallest self-folding origami bird demonstrates
micron-sized shape memory actuators that fold themselves into
3D confi gurations and allow atomically thin 2D materials with
just a quick jolt of voltage. The scientifi c advancements from this
eff ort can enable smart material design and interaction with the
molecular biological world.
Origami-Inspired Medical Patch for Minimally Invasive
Surgery
Many surgeries are performed via minimally invasive procedures,
in which and miniature cameras and surgical tools are threaded
through the body through a small incision is made. Surgeons can
face challenges at an important step in the process: the sealing of
internal wounds and tears. Engineers have designed a medical
patch that can be folded around minimally invasive surgical tools
and delivered through airways, intestines, and other narrow spaces,
to patch up internal injuries.
Implant Improves Quality of Life for People with Inner
Ear Disorder
A multichannel vestibular implant helps patients with BVH by
electrically bypassing malfunctioning areas of the inner ear and
restoring most of their ability to walk, move, and turn their head
without dizziness and orient themselves in space. Researchers
modifi ed a cochlear implant to instead activate the nearby
vestibular nerve in response to signals from a motion sensor on
the patient's head.
