In a world where wearable technology has revolutionized how we monitor our health, one innovative product is challenging the status quo. But this isn’t another shiny or fashionable gadget; it’s something far more personal and essential – a menstrual cup. Read more.
Researchers at McMaster University have developed a transparent test patch for food packaging that detects the presence of potentially deadly bacteria like E. coli, with the aim of telling consumers and the grocery industry whether a product is safe to eat. Read more.
Scientists in McMaster University in Canada have developed a self-cleaning surface that can easily repel all forms of bacteria, which will eventually stop the spreading and transferring of superbugs. Read more.
CNN — Researchers have developed a self-cleaning plastic wrap that repels bacteria – and could be used to prevent the transfer of antibiotic resistant superbugs, and other forms of dangerous bacteria. Read more.
As researchers, the more we know about the way things work on the other side of the street, the more likely it is our innovations will reach the marketplace, where they can serve to improve the way we all live. Read more.
McMaster researchers have created a new packaging tray that can signal when salmonella or other dangerous pathogens are present in packages of raw or cooked food such as chicken. Read more.
Researchers at McMaster University have created a powerful new weapon against bacterial contamination and infection. They have developed a way to coax bacteriophages — harmless viruses that eat bacteria — into linking together and forming microscopic beads. Those beads can safely be applied to food and other materials to rid them of harmful pathogens such as E. coli …
In recent years, DidarLab collaborated with the Thrombosis and Atherosclerosis Research Institute (TaARI) to create a novel and highly promising platform to improve the success of vascular grafts. This revolutionary idea was an engineered non-stick surface combined with biological components that can repel all but a targeted group of cells — those that form the …

The new wrap, designed to protect against contamination on high-touch surfaces such as door handles and railings, is now moving toward scaled-up production through FendX Technologies, Inc., which last year licensed the technology. The product works using a self-cleaning surface design microscopically “tuned” to shed everything that comes into contact with it, down to the …
If you have kept some food for a little while, you may not know whether or not is has gone off. Eating it could risk you getting ill, or throwing it away just adds to the food waste mountain. Researchers have come up with a potential solution. These are smart bio-markers on food packaging which …
