I’m delighted to share a post from one of my favourite Substack writers, Jordan Taylor, otherwise known as Incautious Optimism. Jordan covers a wide range of engineering topics from Hypersonic Flight to Nuclear Power and much more, with a unique blend of insight and humour. I highly recommend that you check out Jordan’s writing. Today’s post from Jordan’s archive is on a topic that I’m sure will …

The acid-tolerant yeast Issatchenkia orientalis is a promising platform for the sustainable production of organic acids. However, the inefficient conversion of lignocellulosic biomass-derived sugars, primarily due to carbon catabolite repression (CCR), reduces overall production efficiency and limits its industrial application. In this study, we established a targeted genetic framework for effici…

The Berthiaume Institute for Precision Health (BIPH) at the University of Notre Dame (USA) and the Dublin City University (Ireland) Life Sciences Institute (LSI) have announced the recipients of the second annual Notre Dame-DCU Exchange Grant in Precision Biomedical Technologies. The competitive funding program is designed to support high-impact, collaborative research between faculty at the Univ…

A single cough, deep breath, or shift in posture can turn life-saving medical microcatheters into hazardous two-way streets.

Nature, Published online: 08 September 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02838-1 The deaths of two children in separate gene-therapy trials could have a profound effect on China’s biomedical industry, say researchers. Plus, an AI system has formalized Fermat’s last theorem and the impact of Nancy Grace Roman.

Peripheral nerve recordings are a powerful research technique commonly performed using commercially available elastomeric cuff electrodes. However, emerging conformable thin-film technologies which offer advantages in device flexibility, feature miniaturisation, and electrode layout may represent an important alternative tool. In this study, we compare these two device classes as acute recording …

Your molars could soon be a renewable power source, turning the force of everyday chewing into electricity for devices you wear.

MIT researchers have engineered bacteria to behave like transistors, making it possible to build living “circuit boards” that can be printed onto growth material in a Petri dish. In conventional electronics, transistors act as switches that control whether electrical current flows. In the biological system developed at MIT, engineered bacteria perform a similar role by [...]

Is there a relationship between Ir-radiance of an LED and the forward current supplied to it? I am designing a photo-therapy device for neonatal jaundice treatment. The required quantity is Ir-radiance. However, I'm unable to measure it in our college because of non-availability of a radiometer. So I was wondering if there is a relationship between these two. Then I can supply the required curren…

Erectile dysfunction affects over 40% of men over 40, yet our understanding of the condition remains limited. Research on this issue has mostly relied on real organs, making it difficult to study the detailed interaction between blood flow and tissue during an erection. In a recent study published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, a team of […]

3D-printed models of the penis can facilitate the study of penile physiology and the repair of penile defects, as shown via a reconstructed and implanted corpus cavernosum that restored erectile function and mating capacity in rabbits and pigs.
