Disposable e-Readers
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati may soon come up with low-cost and even disposable e-readers. The study by professor Andrew Steckl involves advances in display technology that achieves electrowetting on paper as opposed to glass. Electrowetting invloves applying an electric field to colored droplets within a display in order to reveal content such as text, photographs and video. Paper could be used as a flexible host material for an electrowetting device.
New spinal implant to help people excercise paralysed Limbs
People with paraplegia would now be able to excercise their paralysed leg muscles with the help of a new type of microchip muscle stimulator plant.  This device is small enough to be implanted into the spinal canal and incorporates the electrodes and muscle stimulator in one unit. The implant is the size of a child's fingernail. The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council(EPSRC) project is being led by Andreas Demosthenous from University College London. It includes engineers from Freiburg University and the Tyndall Institute.
