Tiny sensor could guide needles through the body, monitor health from afar
...A new device, the size of a grain of sand, that can transmit a wireless signal up to 25 centimeters away. The work could also have implications for measuring blood pressure and tracking how medications metabolize inside the body, researchers say...external page"The device is “really exciting,” says Nako Nakatsuka, a chemist who develops miniature biosensors to measure brain compounds at ETH Zürich and who was not involved with the study. The ability to maneuver inside the body with minimal disruption, she says, “is very cool.”call_made

JWST Will Hunt for Dead Solar Systems—And Much More—In Its Second Year of Science
Rohan Naidu (MIT) will also be scouring the distant universe, but not for those highest-redshift galaxies. Instead, his program, which he external pageco-leads with Jorryt Matthee of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich), will be using a giant cluster of galaxies called Abell 2744 to gravitationally magnify the light of some smaller objects up to 750 million years after the big bang.call_made
