- Researchers have invented an advanced brain-computer interface with a flexible and moldable backing and penetrating microneedles (10x thinner than the human hair). This allows the device to more evenly conform to the brain’s complex curved surface and to more uniformly distribute the microneedles https://jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/news/release/3417 3 comments science
- Green method could enable hospitals to produce hydrogen peroxide in house. A team of researchers has developed a portable, more environmentally friendly method to produce hydrogen peroxide. It could enable hospitals to make their own supply of the disinfectant on demand and at lower cost. http://jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/news/news_releases/release.sfe?id=3024 439 comments science
- Researchers at the University of California San Diego developed a wearable technology that can hide its wearer from heat-detecting sensors such as night vision goggles, even when the ambient temperature changes -- a feat that current state of the art technology cannot match http://jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/news/news_releases/release.sfe?id=2980 66 comments science
- Easy to use 3D bioprinting technique creates lifelike tissues from natural materials - As a proof of concept, scientists used their method to create blood vessel networks capable of keeping a breast cancer tumor alive outside the body. They also created a model of a vascularized human gut. http://jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/news/news_releases/release.sfe?id=2673 4 comments science

- Engineers developed tiny ultrasound-powered robots that can swim through blood, removing harmful bacteria along with the toxins they produce. These proof-of-concept nanorobots could one day offer a safe and efficient way to detoxify and decontaminate biological fluids. http://jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/news/news_releases/release.sfe?id=2550 112 comments science
- Nanoengineers at UCSD have developed the first printed battery that is flexible, stretchable and rechargeable. The zinc batteries could be used to power everything from wearable sensors to solar cells and other kinds of electronics. The work appears in the journal Advanced Energy Materials. http://jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/news/news_releases/release.sfe?id=2220 16 comments science
