Thanks, @EricTopol for featuring our paper! In this newly published @PNASNews paper, we proved that segmental bioimpedance changes from the upper arm strongly correlates with whole body impedance change and percent body weight loss, making arm impedance a reliable surrogate
Given the increasing frequency of extreme heat and important health risks of dehydration, this wearable whole-body hydration sensor seems worthy of pursuit pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
Glad to see. Thanks for sharing @rao_yifan’s progress, @ghpaulino!
Dr Yifan Rao is delivering a visionary lecture on Optimal Energy Embedding for Modular Origami-Inspired Soft Robots, distinguished postdoc Fellowship, Andlinger Center at Princeton Univ @Princeton @EPrinceton @UTAustin @AndlingerCenter
AI Agent for research is a game changer. It’ll worth your time.
Webinar: Building autonomous AI agents for spatial transcriptomics! Join us July 17 as we present STAgent, our AI tool that speeds up transcriptomics analysis from weeks to minutes.
Already ordered the 360 camera after @CTLimLab’s powerful demo.
For the last day of my trip, I’m back in Singapore for the ICMAT meeting (the 12th Annual International Conference on Materials for Advanced Technologies, organized by the Materials Research Society of Singapore) for a partial day of activities, before my flight back to Chicago…
Congratulations to @ganoopyliujia, Hao, and the team! Great pleasure working together.
Our latest work is on the cover of @Nature (June 26, 2025)! Even more special: the stunning illustration was hand-drawn by first author Hao Sheng — a true scientist-artist.
I’m giving one tutorial and two talks at #s25mrs. @ProfJohnARogers will give two SB02 tutorial talks tomorrow. It’ll be exciting!
Thanks @ScienceNews. The on scalp printing only works on bald head or buzz cut hairs right now. Any ideas to cope with long or curly hairs are welcome.
Spray-on electrodes go on wet. Once dry, they can detect brain activity about as well as standard electrodes used in a common medical test, researchers find. sciencenews.org/article/electr…
I'm going to talk about this newly published paper on @CellBiomat tomorrow as an MRS SB02 Distinguished Invited Speaker: cell.com/cell-biomateri…. Two big surprises await. Come to check them out.
Congratulations to @ProfZhaoMIT and the team on inventing this groundbreaking solution to effectively prevent foreign body reaction through bio-adhesives! Potentially benefiting millions of patients with implants.
In @Nature today, we reported that adhesive implant-tissue interfaces can prevent the formation of observable fibrous capsules on various organs, including the abdominal wall, colon, stomach, lung and heart, in diverse animal models, including rats, mice, humanized mice and pigs.…
#BSN2024 will be a nice blend of academia and industry. Submit a paper by 6/1!
We are excited to announce the 21st annual IEEE Body Sensor Networks will be in Chicago! Join us Oct 15-17 to share research on the theme "Next-Gen Health: Sensor Innovation, AI, and Social Responsibility." Submit by June 1! Learn more at bsn.embs.org #BSN2024
So proud to show my PhD advisor Prof. @zhigangsuo and Suo family our lab in EER @CockrellSchool today!
Can wearable electronics wick sweat strategically? Check out @CityUHongKong Prof. Xinge Yu’s latest Nature paper “A three-dimensional liquid diode for soft, integrated permeable electronics”: nature.com/articles/s4158…
