Center for BrainHealth and The University of Texas at Dallas are pioneering a new approach to sleep research with the launch of the Sleep Innovation Laboratories, a visionary research initiative uniting science, technology and human performance to unlock the transformative power of sleep on brain health. Spearheading this initiative is internationally acclaimed neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker, PhD, who joins January 1, 2026, as the laboratories’ inaugural director and professor of neuroscience and biomedical engineering at UT Dallas’ School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences and Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science.
For the first time, scientists fabricate multi-layer, reconfigurable batteries that can bend, adapt, and tune their own voltage — offering a potential power source for future wearable devices, sensors, and soft robotics.
In International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing (IJEM), a research team in China reports the first fabrication of multi-layer flexible batteries using a combination of liquid metal microfluidic perfusion and plasma-based reversible bonding techniques.
A project at Lund University in Sweden has trained an AI model to identify breast cancer patients who could be spared from axillary surgery. The model analyses previously unutilised information in mammograms and pinpoints with high accuracy the individual risk of metastasis in the armpit. A newly completed study shows that the model indicates that just over 40 per cent of today’s axillary surgery procedures could be avoided.
