NASA’s X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology aircraft, or QueSST, is designed to fly faster than the speed of sound without producing a loud, disruptive sonic boom, which is typically heard on the ground below aircraft flying…
A novel 7 × 25 mm capsule, PillTrek, wirelessly profiles gut chemistry—pH, temperature, metabolites, and neurotransmitters—offering a minimally invasive window into the gut’s vital role in health. Credit: Stock PillTrek is a mini capsule that…
Enlargement of the silicon nitride membrane. The colors represent the measured motion of the membrane in the out of plane direction. Red means that part of the membrane moves upward, and blue means that part…
