In International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, researchers have created a new class of ultrathin hydrogel electrodes that could finally make long-term wearable health monitoring practical, bringing the promise of 24/7 and high-fidelity health monitoring closer to reality.

A research team led by Dr. Shin Hur at the Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM, President Seog-Hyeon Ryu), including Syed Turab Haider Zaidi, a student researcher from the UST–KIMM School at KIMM, in collaboration with Dr. Byung-Chul Lee’s team at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), has developed the world’s first skin-attachable, noninvasive blood pressure sensor using PMN-PT single-crystal piezoelectric composites integrated through a low-temperature soldering process.

A Leicester study has shed light on why people of South Asian (SA) origin may face a higher risk of cardiometabolic disorders and respond differently to physical activity compared to White European people (WE).

Australia’s beloved dolphin populations face growing pressures from environmental changes and human activity, increasing the need for reliable, accessible and non-invasive tools to monitor their health and support conservation and management. 

In a new study published in the Journal of Thermal Biology, marine mammal experts from Flinders University analysed more than 40,000 drone-based thermal images to test how accurately drones fitted with thermal cameras can measure dolphin surface temperature and respiration rates without the need for capture or invasive probes.
