The biomedical research system has historically been supported by two main pillars: fundamental research on the mechanisms of disease, largely funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the pharmaceutical industry, which creates products to treat these conditions. Recent advances in biomedical research and health sciences present an opportunity …
Read More »The field of biomimicry, also known as biomimetics, seeks to emulate nature with technology. Biomimicry or biomimetics examines nature, its models, systems, processes, and elements to emulate or take inspiration from to solve human problems. Humans have always looked to nature for inspiration to solve problems. From a drone …

Photonics is a breakthrough technology as it uses photons (smallest unit of light) as the data carrier instead of electrons (smallest unit of electricity) used in electronic ICs. As light travels very high speeds, photonics is widely used to transfer huge amounts of data at a very high speed. Thus …
