Don’t dive in, wade through it
DARPA is developing wearable technology that detects infections before symptoms appear—using smart biosensors to keep soldiers and civilians safe.
Scientists have developed a breakthrough chip that uses sound waves to move and trap tiny particles—including DNA—inside fluids. This new tech, called topological acoustofluidics, could lead to futuristic medical tools, like lab-on-a-chip diagnostics and sound-powered molecule tweezers.
A new acoustic tweezers technology can manipulate cells and drugs inside the body without incisions, promising safer, non-invasive surgeries.
From scientific wonders to human triumphs, we spotlight the ideas, innovations, and people making the world cooler, smarter, and better.
