“The dangerous world we live in is one where the embedded systems that we build are increasingly a battlefield, a place where anonymous hackers are able to remotely injure and potentially kill people on the other side of the world because dangerous devices are connected to the Internet.” Barr Group CTO Michael...

Researchers have demonstrated steady state lasing with solution-processed nanoparticles called colloidal quantum dots, an important step on the path to improving laser tools for more accurate medical testing technology and other applications.

Using magnetic patterns resembling a spiderweb, researchers have developed a biosensor platform capable of detecting biosensors 20 times faster than existing biosensors. The technology can be used for early diagnosis and recurrence diagnosis of diseases such as cancer.

A team of scientists has adapted a CRISPR protein that targets RNA (rather than DNA) as a rapid, inexpensive, highly sensitive diagnostic tool with the potential for a transformative effect on research and global public health.

Incoming AdvaMed chairman Nadim Yared will continue AdvaMed’s drive to ensure a permanent repeal of the medical device excise tax, calling it his “highest priority” heading into his term as chairman. Yared, who is president and CEO of CVRx, spoke at a press conference in April.

Researchers from Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN) are developing an integrated biosensing platform aimed at detecting and monitoring mosquito-borne diseases faster and cheaper than current methods, to aid in preventing virus outbreaks and their devastating effects.

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a breakthrough therapeutic technique used to treat tumors. The principle of this noninvasive, targeted treatment is much like that of focusing sunlight through a lens, using an ultrasonic transducer like a convex lens to concentrate ultrasound into a...
