The biomedical use of a food additive a material widely used in the food industry for its gelling thickening and stabilizing properties as a medium for a drug-delivery system is a novel idea

The new method spins the drug into silklike fibers that quickly dissolve when in contact with moisture, releasing higher doses of the drug than possible with other topical materials such as gels or creams

showing that the fiber materials can hold 10 times the concentration of medicine as anti-HIV gels currently under development.

Ball says. e have achieved higher drug loading in our material such that you wouldn need to insert a large amount of these fibers to deliver enough of the drug to be helpful.

SPINNING THE FABRIC The team created the soft fibers using a process called electrospinning. They first dissolved a polymer

so the researchers looked at different ingredients for the fiber that would allow for the highest concentration of drug with the fastest-possible release in the body.

Because the electrically spun fibers have a large surface area, researchers were able to create samples in

By adjusting the ingredients in the fibers, researchers were able to dissolve the drug in about six minutes,

no matter how much drug mass was in the fiber. The research team says the soft, dissolving fibers could be rolled into a cardboard tampon applicator for insertion or built into the shape of a vaginal ring,

similar to those used for contraception. The material can accommodate different anti-HIV drugs and the team is testing several others for effectiveness.

#How to make carbon thread without clumps Made into fibers single-walled carbon nanotubesâ line up like a fistful of raw spaghetti noodles thanks to a new process.

The tricky bit according to Rice university chemist Angel Martã is keeping the densely packed nanotubes apart before they re drawn together into a fiber.

Earlier research at Rice by chemist and chemical engineer Matteo Pasquali a coauthor of the new paper used an acid dissolution process to keep the nanotubes separated until they could be spun into fibers.

The tubes are forced ultimately together into fibers when they are extruded through the tip of a needle.

#FTC Proposes Stricter Guidelines on Food Ads for Children The Federal trade commission has proposed sweeping new guidelines that could push the food industry to overhaul how it advertises cereal, soda pop, snacks, restaurant meals and other foods to children.

a trade group that represents marketers like Kraft foods and Campbell soup. By explicitly tying advertising to childhood obesity,

food companies spent nearly $2. 3 billion to advertise to children. The food industry immediately criticized the proposal,

saying that it had taken already significant steps to improve recipes and change the way it advertises to children.

Kellogg, the company that makes Froot Loops said in a statement that it would review the proposal

And we need to incorporate zero waste and low energy technologies into the task of food production. What can achieve the intensification of food supply we require,

but in a way that is also sustainable and less harmful to the environment? There is an urgent need to develop new methods for sustainable food production.

This includes a greater emphasis on urban agriculture such as vertical farming which, properly designed and planned, could provide the sustainable means to improve food supply we need.

Ideally, urban agriculture fits neatly alongside or within existing buildings in a self-contained and sustainable manner without competing for resources.

The twisted fiber creates an artificial muscle that can drive a heavy rotor at a speed of more than 10000 revolutions per minute.

when they twisted the fiber even more it produced coiling as happens when you over-twist a rubber band.

The fiber muscles could be used to power the muscles in androids or exoskeletons the researchers said.

In the case of robotic muscles electrical energy not temperature change would drive the contraction of fibers.

The coiled fibers would simply expand when the air temperature warms to let the clothing breathe.

By contrast the fiber muscles are inexpensive to make and easy to commercialize Baughman said.

#MIT's multifunctional fiber implant could revolutionize neural prosthetics Today cutting edge neural implants can passively read brain activity,

so what new tricks do these fibers bring to the table? Flexible: these fiber based neural implants are much more flexible than the current industry standard, multielectrode arrays and hooked eedlestyle stimulators.

The brain itself is composed of some of the softest tissue in the body, so harder implants that don bend with their surrounding biological environment can easily shift

or chemical, they are so small that several fibers can be bundled together in a customized cable designed for the area it is designed to interface with.

The most exciting thing about these new fibers is undoubtedly the ability to bundle together different functionalities in the same implant,

Scientists at MIT Bioelectronics group not as interested in creating applications for these new multifunctional fibers as they are in perfecting the technology,

The material is produced commonly in reels of very thin straight fiber. To transform the fiber into coils Holschuh borrowed a technique from another MIT group that previously used coiled nickel-titanium to engineer a heat-activated robotic worm.

Shape-memory alloys like nickel-titanium can essentially be trained to return to an original shape in response to a certain temperature.

To train the material Holschuh first wound raw SMA fiber into extremely tight millimeter-diameter coils then heated the coils to 450 degrees Celsius to set them into an original or trained shape.

However at a certain trigger temperature (in this case as low as 60 C) the fiber will begin to spring back to its trained tightly coiled state.

Today the startup is attracting some big-name clients including Kellogg and Unilever. Backed by more than $20 million in funding the startup

To break down those emulsions crews use de-emulsifiers which can themselves be environmentally damaging. In the 2010 Deepwater horizon oil spill in the Gulf of mexico for example large amounts of dispersants and de-emulsifiers were dumped into the sea.

After a while the oil just disappeared Varanasi says but people know it s hidden in the water in these fine emulsions.

because it naturally produces biofilms that contain so-called curli fibers amyloid proteins that help E coli attach to surfaces.

Each curli fiber is made from a repeating chain of identical protein subunits called Csga which can be modified by adding protein fragments called peptides.

By programming cells to produce different types of curli fibers under certain conditions the researchers were able to control the biofilms properties

This puts control of curli fiber production in the hands of the researchers who can adjust the amount of AHL in the cells environment.

which forms curli fibers that coalesce into a biofilm coating the surface where the bacteria are growing.

If both are present the film will contain a mix of tagged and untagged fibers.

To add quantum dots to the curli fibers the researchers engineered cells that produce curli fibers

along with the bacteria that produce histidine-tagged fibers resulting in a material that contains both quantum dots and gold nanoparticles.

According to Tim Lu, an assistant professor of electrical engineering and biological engineering at MIT, it boils down to the inefficient bacteria-detection assays used in the food industry.

along with costly recalls for food producers. But the assay simplicity should also promote better sanitation practices

and obviously not ideal for the food industry. All these improvements contribute to the assay speed,

where biofilms build up in pipelines before seeing firsthand that the food industry as in desperate need of new detection technologies.

Most food manufacturers were still using traditional assays, Lu says, with some still using pen and paper or spreadsheets to track contamination hich makes it nearly impossible to gather large amounts of data,

In an incubator at the University of Massachusetts at Boston, the renamed Sample6 tailored the product for the food industry before relocating to its current headquarters in Boston Seaport District,

#New fibers can deliver many simultaneous stimuli The human brain complexity makes it extremely challenging to study not only because of its sheer size,

By producing complex multimodal fibers that could be less than the width of a hair, they have created a system that could deliver optical signals and drugs directly into the brain,

In addition to transmitting different kinds of signals, the new fibers are made of polymers that closely resemble the characteristics of neural tissues,

To do that, her team made use of novel fiber-fabrication technology pioneered by MIT professor of materials science

Flexible fiber-based probes The result, Anikeeva explains, is the fabrication of polymer fibers hat are soft and flexible

and look more like natural nerves. Devices currently used for neural recording and stimulation, she says,

called a preform, of the desired arrangement of channels within the fiber: optical waveguides to carry light, hollow tubes to carry drugs,

and drawn into a thin fiber, while retaining the exact arrangement of features within them.

A single draw of the fiber reduces the cross-section of the material 200-fold, and the process can be repeated,

making the fibers thinner each time and approaching nanometer scale. During this process, Anikeeva says, eatures that used to be inches across are now microns.

Combining the different channels in a single fiber she adds, could enable precision mapping of neural activity,

While a single preform a few inches long can produce hundreds of feet of fiber, the materials must be selected carefully so they all soften at the same temperature.

The fibers could ultimately be used for precision mapping of the responses of different regions of the brain or spinal cord,

diverse collection of multifunctional fibers, tailored for insertion into the brain where they can stimulate
