Artificial Skin Made from Household Materials Could Transform Medicine, Robotics, and Education

When Muhammad Mustafa Hussain visited Bangladesh years ago, he noticed that many of the children he met were very talented and eager to learn about electronics, despite having very limited resources. He visited the local school and showed the students how they could use inexpensive household materials to make their own basic electronics. He says that seeing the “joy of discovery” on their faces inspired his current research project: a multi-sensor artificial skin made using only items found in a typical household.

Transistors Hunt Cancer Cells to Reduce Surgeries for Cancer Patients

Tiny transistors can detect whether tumors have spread to other parts of the body, which could eliminate unnecessary surgeries for up to 40 percent of breast cancer patients. Typically, when surgeons operate to remove tumors, they take samples to see how far the cancer has spread. This analysis can take up to a week, and often requires follow up surgery. Now, tiny sensors can get the same results in less than an hour.
