Article Synopsis
- Delivering heat could improve various biomedical technologies, such as drug delivery systems and cancer treatments, but current methods are often too power-hungry for wider use.
- Researchers created a new heating method using an exothermic reaction between liquid-metal-activated aluminum and water, allowing for consistent heat generation.
- They demonstrated this method by activating a gastric device made from Nitinol, and discussed potential future applications for this innovative heat generation technique.
Article Synopsis
- Actively triggerable materials can provide better control over the lifespan of biomedical technologies but often lack durability; traditional choices like polymers have limitations compared to stronger metals.
- Metals, specifically using a method called liquid metal embrittlement, can be engineered to break down under certain conditions; this involves liquid metals weakening solid metals at their grain boundaries.
- The study showcases eutectic gallium indium (EGaIn), a biocompatible metal alloy that effectively triggers the breakdown of aluminum in relevant biological settings, and discusses three potential applications for these actively triggerable metals in biomedical devices.
The main goal of our study was to compare the quality of resulting facials scar 12 weeks after single and combined laser therapy. Forty-one children from age 1.5 to 5 years with facial scars after injury participated in the study.

Objective: Hemangioma is a mesenchymal benign tumor formed by blood vessels. Anomalies affect up to 10% of children and they are more common in females than in males. The aim of this study was to evaluate hemangioma treatment using four different types of lasers, namely, alexandrite, Er:YAG, CO(2), and pulsed dye laser (PDL).
