The need for adapting Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) technologies is rooted in the requirement to enable high and faster on-chip data processing needs across all industries. MEMS technology has drastically evolved over the years with a high need for miniature smart sensors with high efficiency. The key factors that are driving the MEMS tech...

Fiber optic sensing solutions utilize the light medium as the physical source to detect variations in temperature, acoustics, strain, and vibrational parameters. Fiber optic sensing uses an optical fiber cable as the sensor device to create a continuous point of sensing along the fiber cable. This method of sensing is known as distributed fiber opt...

Orthopedic implants replace or strengthen a damaged, painful, or deformed bone, cartilage, or joint and restore mobility and flexibility in patients with bone conditions. The demand for orthopedic implants is growing with the increasing number of orthopedic surgeries being performed every year. This is mainly due to the prevalence of musculoskelet...

This research service investigates technologies that propel the development of new targeted immunotherapies, particularly those that deliver therapeutic DNA and proteins. The top 3 growth opportunities focus on enhanced gene delivery systems for greater precision, the support of such systems through novel biotech platforms, and the affordability of...

Radio frequency, electricity transmission, photovoltaics, and display systems are primary applications for dielectric materials, which are insulators with electric dipoles. An electric field can displace the positive and negative charges of the material from an equilibrium position. The material, however, does not conduct electricity and will retur...

The conventional drug discovery and diagnostics technologies are unable to cope up with the current disease management practices. To this end, researchers have explored possibilities beyond life sciences. Specifically, they have figured out that the use of engineering principles to biological systems can revolutionize the drug discovery and diagnos...

Comprehensive wound assessment is vital to understand the nature of wounds and devise evidence-based and cost-effective therapeutic interventions. However, traditionally used methods for wound diagnosis and monitoring cannot accurately measure wound dimensions, require physical contact with the wound, which causes discomfort to the patients, and ca...

Rising healthcare and surgery costs are increasing the burden on healthcare systems, making it difficult for hospitals to offer high-quality care at affordable prices. Time-consuming manual processes that significantly impact surgeon time and workload, hospital cost increases due to delayed surgery, and low patient satisfaction levels due to human ...

Nanophotonics is the science of controlling light generation, manipulation, transport, and detection on ultra-small length scales. It is an emerging technology that involves the interaction of light with structures smaller than approximately 100nm. The technology has a far-reaching application landscape, and photovoltaics and displays are likely...
