Article 1

Pain free Injections - Fabrication of Micro needles

Trypanophobia is fear of injection needles and this fear is quite real and prevalent. According to Wikipedia, over 10% of American adults suffer from fear of needles and I am sure this situation may be same in other parts of the world as well, if not worse than this. Research and innovations in medical field have led to many new methods of drug delivery that are transdermal (i.e. application of medicine through skin) and offer a good alternate to conventional injection needle method of drug delivery which is hypodermic (i.e. beneath the skin)...

Article 2

Conversion of Waste Heat into Electrical Power

Heat is a by-product of electrical power, any process that require energy or power produces heat. Conversion of energy or power in to heat is quite natural and is in accordance with the law of thermodynamics but doing the reverse process i.e. conversion of heat in to power is a bit complicated task. A new innovative silicon-based tiny device has been developed by a team at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) that can convert waste heat in to dc power. A simple illustration is shown in Figure 1. According to Dr. Paul Davids, the principal investigator at SNL for this study, electrical power can be generated from a moderate temperature thermal source by direct conversion of infrared radiation. This infrared power source could replace the radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) that are used for powering sensors in space applications...
