Making medicines and chemicals on demand

Technology Inceptions

A new method to produce medicines, chemicals and to be preserved in hydrogels have been developed by a team of US researchers. Hal Alper, Professor of Chemical Engineering who lead the team and Alshakim Nelson, Assistant Professor at University of Washington said that the new developments will lead to technologies for on-demand production of small-molecule and peptide products in the future. Hydrogel can be 3D printed or manually extruded. The approach could help people in remote villages or on military missions, where the absence of pharmacies, doctor’s offices or even basic refrigeration makes it hard to access critical medicines and other small-molecule compounds.

Researchers at the University of Lancaster have developed Anima, a tablet device for users to colour mandala shapes to improve mindfulness. Mandalas are centuries-old geometric configurations of shapes that have their origins in Buddhist traditions. The colouring of mandala shapes is increasingly popular as a way for people to attempt 'mindfulness', a way of being present in the moment, and which has been associated with helping people to improve their mental health and well-...

In the current technology of solar cells, the researchers try to develop ever-better materials for solar cells by adjusting the possible variables to improve performance, including material type, thickness, and geometric arrangement. Developing new solar cells has generally been a hard process of making small changes to one of these parameters at a time. While computational simulators have made it possible to evaluate such changes without having to actually build each new var...
