Scientists at Queen Mary University of London have developed an artificial muscle that can change from soft to hard in response to a voltage change. The technology aims to mimic human muscles in both its movements and in its ability to sense forces and deformation. The muscle is made using carbon nanotubes that have been coated with silicone to form a cathode that can also sense forces, and an anode made from a soft metal mesh, forming an actuation layer between the anode and cathode.

Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a cardiac monitoring device that is intended for use in patients who have suffered a cardiac event. The soft and flexible patch can be affixed to the outside of the heart during a routine procedure, but does not require a second procedure to remove the device later, as it is fully biodegradable. The patch is transparent, and so should allow clinicians to image the heart as normal, while the microelectrode array within it helps to monitor hear

Researchers at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation in California have developed an implantable sponge that can monitor for signs of a hemorrhage, and then help to control bleeding once it has occurred. The researchers used silk fibroin, a protein produced by the Bombyx mori silkworm, to create the sponge, and took advantage of its biodegradation and anti-inflammatory properties to create a porous and highly absorbent shape-memory sponge.

What is Complex Regional Pain Syndrome? Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic neuropathic pain condition characterized by spontaneous and evoked regional pain disproportionate in magnitude or duration to the typical course of pain after similar tissue trauma. The multifactorial pathophysiology involves pain dysregulation in the sympathetic and central nervous systems, with likely genetic, inflammatory, and psychological contributions.
