Infected bone defects arise in conditions such as osteomyelitis and post-traumatic bone infections, where microbial persistence and immune imbalance prevent effective healing. Standard treatments rely ...
In a development poised to shift the paradigm in cardiovascular medicine, researchers are designing fully polymeric heart valves to replace traditional metallic implants. These valves, crafted from ...
The eyes may reveal how experiences are recalled, according to new Baycrest research that suggests that shifts in eye movements play a critical role in memory retrieval. The findings offer new insight ...
This atomistic model showing the coexistence of two solid phases of NiTi: austenite (blue), stable at higher temperatures, and martensite (brown), stable at lower temperatures. The martensite region ...
Materials can carry memory. They do more than finish a space; they can anchor it, shape atmosphere, and connect interiors to broader cultural and material narratives. Some architects and designers ...

New research suggests that thermal switching in smart polymer solutions may depend less on polymer conformation than previously assumed, and more on their nanoscopic environment. (Nanowerk News) A ...
Embolization Inc. recently received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for a coil device using biocompatible shape memory polymers. The Nitinol Enhanced Device (NED) is intended for arterial and venous ...
What if a complex material could reshape itself in response to a simple chemical signal? A team of physicists from the University of Vienna and the University of Edinburgh has shown that even small ...
