Researchers from Princeton University's Department of Molecular Biology have developed a method that can precisely track the replication of yellow fever virus in individual host immune cells. The technique, which is described in a paper published in the journal Nature Communications, could aid the development of new vaccines against a range of viruses, including Dengue andZika.

BodyCap has obtained the medical CE mark for e-Celsius from the LNE Gmed certifying organisation. The ingestible connected pill enables monitoring of the body’s core temperature. The device is now commercially available in all those countries that recognise the CE mark (European Economic Area, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway). It will be sold directly or through specialised distributors for a unit price of €40-60 ($42-63), depending ...

Engineers from MIT and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) are using light to print three-dimensional structures that “remember” their original shapes. Even after being stretched, twisted, and bent at extreme angles, the structures — from small coils and multimaterial flowers, to an inch-tall replica of the Eiffel tower — sprang back to their original forms within seconds of being heated to a certain tempe...

Sponsor and technology partner, since the beginning, of ABT Schaeffler Audi Sport, Würth Elektronik, congratulates the team of runner-up world champion Lucas Di Grassi and the best German racing driver on the circuit, Daniel Abt. The Formula E championship reached fever pitch at the season’s final weekend in London with the last race, in which Daniel Abt came in second, culminating in an epic duel.

As detailed in the IDTechEx report, Mild Hybrid 48V Vehicles 2016-2031, this option will become a huge business from 2017 as Ford, Hyundai, Bentley, Volkswagen, Audi, Geely and many others adopt them as the most cost-effective way of meeting 2025 and 2030 carbon dioxide emissions regulations while sharply improving economy - even improving performance in some respects. By Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx.

In a paper published in Biomedical Optics Express, from The Optical Society (OSA), Stefan Musolino of the University of Adelaide and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics, Australia, and his colleagues describe an optical fibre-based probe capable of making pinpoint brain temperature measurements in moving lab animals.

With football fever gripping the nation, rivals from across the world are getting ready to lock nuts and bolts at the forthcoming RoboCup 2016 robotic world championship which kicks off in Leipzig, Germany on 30 June. The University of Hertfordshire’s robot football team Bold Hearts –the oldest and most successful in the UK – will be competing against over 500 other teams from 40 countries.

Tanaka has developed the world's first kit able to directly detect the ZIKA virus (ZIKV) in blood. The kit is capable of rapid ZIKV detection in just 10 to 15 minutes. Tanaka Kikinzoku Kogyo plans to supply samples for clinical evaluation with a view to collaboration with domestic and overseas medical manufacturers.

Every day, we are exposed to millions of harmful bacteria that can cause infectious diseases, such as the E. coli bacteria. Now, researchers at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) of A*STAR have developed a new material that can kill the E. coli bacteria within 30 seconds. This finding has been published in the peer-reviewed journal Small.

Powerbox announces the launch of a series of power supplies for automotive applications and on-board IoT. Based on a highly integrated components platform and low-profile planar magnetics, the ENA100 (100W) and ENA200 (200W) devices are packaged in a plastic enclosure, which is IP21 and the boards are conformally coated to withstand high humidity, complying with the challenging environments found in the automotive industry.
