Adhesive remains tough and resilient when wet
A team of researchers from the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) has created a super-strong 'tough adhesive' that is biocompatible and binds to tissues with a strength comparable to the body’s own resilient cartilage, even when they’re wet.

The whole idea was ridiculous. Gas powered engines seemed like they would be the dominant force into the foreseeable future. By John Hawthrone.
Sensors and AI: the dream team
You don’t have to attach sensors to everything. With machine learning, a new suite of only nine different sensors can recognise dozens of various phenomena. Ubiquitous sensors seem almost synonymous with the Internet of Things (IoT), but some Carnegie Mellon University researchers say ubiquitous sensing - with a single, general purpose sensor for each room - may be better.

Considering the chronological order of connections within networks
Ingo Scholtes from the Chair of Systems Design has developed an analytical method that takes account of the chronological order of connections within networks. This not only makes it possible to more accurately identify links between topics on the internet, but also makes it easier to predict the spread of epidemics, for example.
