Scientists Replicate Real Blood Vessels To Unlock New Treatments for Vascular Disease
Blood vessels are less like straight pipes and more like a crowded city road map, with turns, forks, and sudden choke points that can change how traffic moves. For a long time, many lab built vessel models skipped that complexity and relied on simple, straight channels, even though real vessels rarely behave that neatly. Researchers are trying to close that gap with a customizable vessel-chip method
A new flexible AI chip for smart wearables is thinner than a human hair
The promise of smart wearables is often talked up, and while there have been some impressive innovations, we are still not seeing their full potential. Among the things holding them back is that the chips that operate them are stiff, brittle, and power-hungry.
