RMIT MedTech invention goes to market
An ingestible gas-sensing capsule invented at RMIT to provide real-time insights into gut health is now cleared for use in the United States.
New pathway for mRNA drug delivery shows shape of things to come
Scientists have discovered that the internal shape of tiny drug-delivery particles – called lipid nanoparticles – has a big impact on how well our cells absorb them, paving the way to more efficient vaccine and drug delivery.
Insect protein blocks bacterial infection
A protein that gives fleas their bounce has been used to boot out bacteria cells, with lab results demonstrating the material’s potential for preventing medical implant infection.
Smart spongy device captures water from thin air
Engineers from Australia and China have invented a sponge-like device that captures water from thin air and then releases it in a cup using the sun’s energy, even in low humidity where other technologies such as fog harvesting and radiative cooling have struggled.
