Engineers at the University of California Los Angeles have developed “meta-bots,” which are fingernail sized robots that can move, sense, and navigate their environment. Strikingly, the robots are essentially ready for use when they emerge from the 3D printer, and consist of piezoelectric actuators that can respond to or generate electricity. The robots consist of an intricate structure of piezoelectric components that allow them to rapidly flex and rotate.

Acute demyelinating disorders are not a common cause of ICU admission. However, these are encountered occasionally (especially acute transverse myelitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, and osmotic demyelination syndrome). Additionally, some of these disorders may be triggered by COVID, so this chapter will help us understand the neurological manifestations of COVID.

Researchers at the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a “polymer brush” system that can capture and release proteins on using electrical stimulation. Protein therapeutics are increasingly in demand, but creating them efficiently is still a challenge. Isolating therapeutic proteins from the liquid surrounding the cells used to produce them in biotechnological processes is difficult and inefficient, but the researchers behind this latest technology hope that the new techniq

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a tiny neural probe that is approximately one fifth of the width of a human hair. The probe is flexible and can be implanted for extended periods without aggravating the immune system, in part because of its small and unobtrusive profile. Its miniature size means that it may also be suitable for implantation in areas where other probes can’t fit, such as between the vertebrae and into the spinal cord.

EDIT: This was written at the time of the leaked draft opinion of the Supreme Court. The official decision was released today. We weren’t supposed to find out. The decision was supposed to be out at the end of the term, and leaks from the Supreme Court are unheard of. But for some reason, someone wanted this to get out, and the fallout has been nothing short of earth-shattering.
