The symptoms you see in the field are consistent: the editor plays fine in short demos but users report OOM kills during heavy scrubbing, preview stalls when multiple filters are applied, exports that crash mid‑way, and background uploads that never finish. Those failures come from a single design anti-pattern — eagerly materializing full‑resolution frames for many layers and operations instead o…

Charles R. Goulding and Preeti Sulibhavi examine how 3D printed skin grafts are evolving from experimental research into practical tools for treating complex wounds. The post The Technology Behind the Story: 3D Skin Grafts and the World of Scarpetta appeared on Fabbaloo .

The student organization connects students to research and career opportunities and brings STEM education to Central New York children. The post Biomedical Engineering Society Is Shaping the Next Generation of Engineers appeared first on Syracuse University Today .

Nature Communications, Published online: 03 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-72683-3 Osteoporotic fractures often heal poorly due to high oxidative stress. Here, the authors develop an intelligent responsive hydrogel coating for magnesium implants that decelerates implant degradation, alleviates oxidative stress, and promotes bone regeneration.

Nature Communications, Published online: 02 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-72449-x The authors report a centimeter-scale untethered tripodal robot with three radial piezoelectric actuators for omnidirectional locomotion without attitude turning and cross-scale precision, enabling autonomous navigation and micro-macro inspection.

CLASS OF 2026 - When Duke and Wellington Bristow cross the stage this May, they'll be completing something their father started decades ago — a family tradition of engineering that's now four members deep. The post Four Engineers, One Family: The Bristow Brothers Bring It Home at USC appeared first on USC Viterbi | School of Engineering .

An accessible instrument for measuring soft material mechanical properties Unikewicz, BM; Pincot, AM; Cohen, T Soft material research has seen significant growth in recent years, with emerging applications in robotics, electronics, and healthcare diagnostics where understanding the material mechanical response is crucial for precision design. Traditional methods for measuring nonlinear mechanical…

RES.HST-001 MIT Little Devices Lab, Fall 2021 Gomez-Marquez, Jose; Young, Anna The MIT Little Devices Lab collaborates with healthcare professionals in developing countries to create affordable health and medical technologies. A large number of these healthcare professionals are nurses, and have been described as “stealth innovators,” “NurseMakers,” and “MacGyver Nurses.” (Rice, S. "Nurses Devise…

CLASS OF 2026 - The daughter of Turkish immigrant physicians, Maui-raised Alara Berkmen is graduating from USC Viterbi with a bachelor's in Biomedical Engineering on the pre-med track, a business club she built from scratch, and a hard-won clarity about who she wants to be and why. The post From Maui to Medicine, Viterbi Helped Her Chart Her Own Path appeared first on USC Viterbi | School of Engi…

A team of researchers from USC, Caltech and UC Irvine tested a full “bionic suit” with a patient for the first time. Early results are promising. The post Researchers test brain interface with robotic legs that could restore walking, sensation after paralysis appeared first on USC .

University of Maine students are designing a device to help runners determine when their athletic shoes should be replaced to help prevent injuries like stress fractures, shin splints and inflammation. […]

"I grew up as a hard-of-hearing athlete. I played lacrosse and ran track and field, but my hearing aid would get damaged by sweat or rain. It also fell out a lot when I ran into people. I didn't end up wearing it a lot, which meant I was missing things on the field—a teammate calling for a pass or someone coming up behind me. So, I started sketching what a hearing device for athletes could actual…

Electrical stimulation of vagus nerve via implantable stimulators can effectively suppress inflammatory responses, offering a novel strategy for treating autoimmune diseases.

Imagine a health-monitoring device that never needs charging or battery replacement. Scientists are now closer to that reality with a new system that can run using only body heat. This breakthrough could lead to wearable devices that work continuously without maintenance. A research team from Osaka University has developed a wireless brain-monitoring system that operates […] The post Scientists c…
