One of the primary ways a clinician will monitor fetal health is by analyzing fetal heart rate (fHR) against the background of uterine activity and fetal movements. However, even when fHR is detected, there will usually be periods of signal loss, thus making this method insufficient for long-term monitoring of fetal health.

An engineering company that was spun off from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has announced a partnership that could significantly improve safety for e-scooters and civic e-mobility schemes.
Scientists in the US have used liquid metal to develop stretchable tactile sensors for use in prosthetic hands. The innovation has the potential to give a sense of touch back to amputees, something that has yet to be achieved by modern prosthetics.

Student Arne Quellmalz is working on technologies that could replace the typically bulky, expensive, and high-energy-consuming gas sensors available today. Using graphene and innovative integration techniques, Quellmatz’s research could lead to the manufacture of gas sensors that are small and cheap enough to be fitted into smartphones.
