Cardiotoxicity is a clinical condition that arises from using pharmaceutical agents such as antibiotics, which result in harmful effects on the heart, ultimately compromising its functional capacity. The left ventricle’s contractile ability is impair
A joint team of researchers from POSTECH and Georgia Institute of Technology successfully created an engineered heart via 3D printing technology that allows for early monitoring of drug-induced cardiotoxicity
We can pick up objects and take steady steps thanks to the tactility in our hands and feet. As such, skin acts as a channel that connects the external world or stimuli with the human body. When these sensory functions do not work properly, it becomes
Thanks to the tactility in the hands and feet, picking up objects and taking steady steps are possible. As such, the skin serves as a channel that links the outer world or stimuli with the human body.

Researchers have developed an electronic skin-like sensory system that can detect both movement and temperature simultaneously, giving it a characteristic similar to human skin.
A joint research team from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in South Korea and Stanford University developed the multimodal ion-electronic skin, which researchers said can measure the temperature and mechanical stimulation at the same time.
The team developed a multifunctional artificial receptor that aims to mimic tactile receptors in the human skin that can detect hot or cold temperatures as well as other tactile sensations such as pinching, twisting, or pushing. It’s contained within multimodal ion-electric skin made from a flexible material that, like human skin, is flexible and can stretch.
