Ultrasonic monitoring is essential for ecological studies of bats and other animals, yet high-performance field devices remain prohibitively expensive and inaccessible–particularly in biodiversity-rich regions with limited research infrastructure. Existing low-cost options often lack real-time listening and recording…

The development of increasingly complex implantable neuromodulation devices requires extensive benchtop validation and testing prior to in vivo implementation. Our goal is to enable this in vitro testing by creating a benchtop system that is accessible, easy-to-use, and functions reliably across academic and industry…

The texture of meat is one of the most important features to mimic when developing meat analogs. Both protein source and processing method impact the texture of the final product. We can distinguish three types of mechanical tests to quantify the textural differences between meat and meat analogs: puncture-type…

To evaluate the image quality of intraocular lenses (IOLs) using field-tracing optical simulation and then compare it with the image quality using conventional ray-tracing simulation. We simulated aspheric IOLs with a decenter, tilt, and no misalignment using an aspheric corneal eye model with a positive spherical…

Micromagnetic stimulation (μMS) is a promising branch of neurostimulation technologies. Microcoil (μcoil) based magnetic stimulation uses micrometer sized coils that generate a time-varying magnetic field which as per Faraday’s Laws of Electromagnetic Induction induces an electric field on a conductive surface. This…

Efficient and accurate plasmonic biosensing in the field remains a significant challenge. Despite its potential to revolutionize point-of-care (PoC) diagnostics through its unparalleled sensitivity and precise molecular fingerprinting capabilities, adoption of traditional surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) in…

Rapid detection of pathogens at the point-of-need is crucial for preventing the spread of human, animal and plant diseases which can have devastating consequences both on the lives and livelihood of billions of people. Colorimetric, lateral flow assays consisting of a nitrocellulose membrane, are the preferred format…

Force plate testing is commonly used to assess athlete performance, however there is no research into the effect the surface underneath the force plate has on derived variables. The aim of this study was to investigate whether different surfaces underneath a force plate would elicit differences in derived force plate…

The clinical importance of iboga alkaloids lies in their efficacy in reversing drug addiction and modulating drug tolerance. However, due to safety concerns, their use is restricted to appropriate medical supervision. These alkaloids often cause severe hallucinogenic effects due to differential binding to various brain…
