In many cases, they can’t get access to “adaptive” exercise and sports equipment[1] – meaning machines, weights and other devices that have been modified or engineered for ease of use by people with disabilities.

High costs, steep learning curves and limited...

Bioengineers have harnessed the lotus effect to develop a system for culturing cancer cell clusters that can shed light on hard-to-study tumor properties. The new zinc oxide-based culturing surface mimics the lotus leaf surface structure, providing a highly tunable platform for the high-throughput generation of three-dimensional nanoscale tumor models.
