The cotton […]

(Natural News) Stroke patients and physicians can get live and accurate readings of the patient’s recovering body thanks to newly-developed stretchable electronic sensors. Science Daily reported the new bio-sensor is small enough to be worn outdoors, rugged enough to function during therapy sessions, and precise enough to be used for advanced medical care. The device is the latest concept […]

(Natural News) It has become quite clear that there are many potential biomedical device applications for 3D printing technology. Now a medical device manufacturer based in Germany has announced that it has just received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to expand their product offerings by producing a 3D-printed cervical device that […]

(Natural News) The process required in order to create the interesting material called graphene is not a secret.
