Sutures and staples are established tools for reconnecting tissues during surgery or to treat wounds where necessary, but they are inherently invasive and can encourage subsequent infections or ...

A programmable photonic circuit has been developed that can execute various quantum algorithms and is potentially highly scalable. This device could pave the way for large-scale quantum computers ...

Researchers from Empa and ETH Zurich have introduced a new technique for wound closure in a recent study published in the journal Small Methods. Utilizing a novel laser soldering approach, the team ...

Sometime more than 5,000 years ago, man came up with the idea of suturing a wound with a needle and thread. Since then, this surgical principle has not changed much: Depending on the fingertip feeling ...

(Nanowerk News) Not every wound can be closed with needle and thread. Empa researchers have now developed a soldering process with nanoparticles that gently fuses tissue. The soldering technique is ...
