Tiny implantable sensors are helping University of Oregon researchers optimize the process of recovery from severe bone injuries.

Scientists at the UO’s Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact have developed miniature implantable sensors that transmit real-time data about what’s happening at an injury site. In a new study, they use the technology to show that a resistance-training rehabilitation program can significantly improve femur injuries in rats in just eight weeks.

The sensors provide a window into the mechanical properties of the bone, giving scientists detailed ongoing data about the process of healing. If someday applied in humans, these sensors could allow doctors to better tailor a rehabilitation program to an individual patient, monitoring their progress and adjusting the exercises along the way.

‘Altermagnetism’ discovery could deliver ‘thousand-fold increase’ in memory and speed of computing components.

SACRAMENTO — A magnitude 5.5 earthquake that struck in a remote area of Nevada on Monday afternoon sent shaking throughout Central California, including the Sacramento area.

In Sacramento, one person saw ornaments on a Christmas tree sway, as did some blinds for less than a minute. Water sloshed in a swimming pool, another person said. In Davis, a computer swayed for just a few seconds and a desk chair was jolted, while a young man reported feeling his bed sway and an unnerved poodle sought comfort.

In Reno, about 50 miles northwest of the quake’s epicenter, someone at KTVN-TV captured a video of the star on the newsroom’s Christmas tree still quivering — barely — as staffers scrambled to cover the earthquake. One person could be heard saying they hadn’t felt anything.

In a Mn3Sn/W epitaxial bilayer, spin–orbit torque induces the coherent rotation of spins, which can couple to microwave currents. Unlike in ferromagnets, the resulting conversion of AC current to DC voltage remains robust at higher frequencies, which may facilitate the development of high-speed electronic devices.

The demonstration of the first fully functioning mechanical qubit offers a new platform for quantum information processing and could lead to ultraprecise gravity sensors.

Advanced Navigation and MBDA are creating a GPS-free drone navigation system using NILEQ’s neuromorphic sensors for terrain positioning.

Critics doubt that Emotiv’s earphone-style sensors can reliably track things like stress and attention—and some worry the technology will become yet another form of workplace surveillance.
