Developed by 4WEB Medical, the Truss Cage (TC) is a 3D-printed Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy spinal implant designed to enhance bone growth and fusion after surgery. The need for spinal surgery typically arises from degeneration of intervertebral disks, often resulting from age-related spondylosis and spinal deformations like scoliosis. Continue reading 4WEB’s Truss Cage: an “Active” Spinal Implant
Interplanetary travel has always been theorized by many creative scientists and engineers, as well as in art and media. Sci-Fi movies have long portrayed future spacecrafts as ones that utilize unique sources of energy, such as nuclear fusion. But as we progress further and further from the Apollo missions and the Saturn V rocket, we are now seeing one of those futuristic models beginning to realize–the Solar Sail. Continue reading The Future Of Solar Sailing May Be Closer Than It Seems
The brain is one of the most convoluted structures to ever exist—a fascinating enigma. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology were one step closer to understanding the complex structure of the brain. YongTae Kim and Allan I. Levey MacDonald were able to engineer a model of the Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) utilizing computer chips. What is the Blood Brain Barrier? According to the researchers … Continue reading Utilizing 3D Chip Models to Revolutionize our Understanding of the Brain
Sea spray aerosol (SSA) is the aerosol produced by breaking ocean waves. Aerosol is a general term for the liquid or particles suspended in gas. Under this umbrella term, sea spray aerosol (SSA) is the aerosol produced by breaking ocean waves. Among many other aerosols such as fog and dust, SSA is a main target of current atmospheric chemistry research because it is a major … Continue reading Aerosol 101: The Introduction of Aerosol and Its Measurements
