Northwestern researchers have invented an implantable device that can track inflammation in the body in real time, akin to a continuous glucose monitor. Inspired by fruit being shaken from tree branches, the device comprises DNA strands that stick to cytokine proteins, shake them off and then grab more proteins, providing real-time data on inflammation levels.
Members of the Northwestern community share the technological advancements — from tissue engineering and stem cell therapies to machine learning and more — that could affect life as we know it.
A centimeter-sized robot could be the future of medicine, manufacturing and environmental cleanup. The tiny robot can walk at human speed, pick up and transport cargo to a new location, climb up and down hills and then perform a spinning break dance to release the cargo. Resembling a four-legged octopus, the robot functions inside a water-filled tank, making it ideal for use in aquatic environments.
