One reason that it’s so difficult to deliver large protein drugs orally is that these drugs can’t pass through the mucus barrier that lines the digestive tract. This means that insulin and most other “biologic drugs” — drugs consisting of proteins or nucleic acids — have to be injected or

Is a new composite-based additive technology set to disrupt current 3D printing manufacturing? 3D printing has taken an evolutionary step forward, enabling manufacturers to produce stronger, lighter and more accurate composite parts, resulting in a broader selection of manufacturing materials and greater design freedom. This whitepaper will explore how composite-based additive manufacturing

The future of neural network computing could be a little soggier than we were expecting. A team of physicists has successfully developed an ionic circuit – a processor based on the movements of charged atoms and molecules in an aqueous solution, rather than electrons in a solid semiconductor. Since this is closer

Augmented Reality (AR) glasses are becoming one of the most sought-after wearables today. Not only are AR glasses the key ingredient to experiencing the metaverse, but the workforce industry also has numerous use cases for it. Today, AR glasses in the workforce enable workers to not only work more efficiently but
