Researchers have identified key factors that influence the flavour of chocolate during the cocoa bean fermentation process, a discovery that could offer chocolate producers a powerful tool to craft consistently high-quality, flavour-rich chocolate.
Researchers have developed a self-powered microneedle patch to monitor a range of health biomarkers without drawing blood or relying on batteries or external devices. In proof-of-concept testing with synthetic skin, the researchers demonstrated that the patches could collect biomarker samples over periods ranging from 15 minutes to 24 hours.
Farmers in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi, pay four to six times more for crop insurance than their counterparts in the upper Midwest, and Hunter Biram wanted to know why. The result of his research with colleagues in Kansas was published in late July in the American Journal of Agricultural Economics.
Inspired by the serrated stinger of a honeybee, a new microneedle platform was developed in International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing (IF: 21.3) to combine drug delivery, electrical stimulation, and continuous monitoring in a single, wearable system. This platform tackles one of the toughest problems in modern medicine: diabetic wound healing.
