Nanosensors that work without batteries or wires could pave the way for more comfortable, less obtrusive sleep and healthcare monitoring at home, according to scientists at the University of Surrey.

Various tissues and organs in the human body, such as nerves, heart, bones, and skin, rely on bioelectrical signals to maintain function and support regeneration. Although conventional electrical ...

This review innovatively proposes the use of electrospinning to fabricate electroactive fibrous scaffolds, which mimic the structure of the extracellular matrix while providing electrical activity, ...

Electrospinning is a process in which polymer solutions are sprayed and stretched using a static electric field to create nanoscale fibers. The fibers typically have diameters ranging from ...

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, 3M announced it would boost global production of N95 face masks to more than 1 billion per year. Mask facilities in China also ramped up, increasing their capacity ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Ceramics boast impressive strength and durability, but their inherent rigidity and brittleness have long hindered applications demanding flexibility, such as filters, sensors, ...

When you think about additive manufacturing, thoughts naturally turn to that hot-glue squirting CNC machine sitting on your bench and squeezing whatever plastic doodad you need. But 3D printing isn’t ...

A new technique for electrospinning sponges has allowed scientists from the University of Surrey to directly produce 3D scaffolds - on which skin grafts could be grown from the patient's own skin.

Professor Hu Jinlian from the City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) highlights the importance of integrating electrospinning and electrospraying, as published in Matter, to advance nanomaterial ...

The electrospinning and electrospraying synergism (ESS) can positively impact diverse sectors, from bioengineering and textile technology to medical treatment, defence technology, intelligent ...

Combining these two twins-tech, electrospinning and electrospraying, to fabricate novel nanomaterials is an urgent area of research for materials scientists and biomedical engineers, according to a ...
