Dangers of ultrafast charging of mobile devices

June 9, 2017

By their design, mobile devices, especially smartphones are always on, and with today’s need for high speed data communication via mobile base stations providing 4G data and voice services, energy consumption is significantly higher than feature phones of the previous mobile telecommunications era. Thus, battery capacity and energy consumption became primary points of consideration in … More Dangers of ultrafast charging of mobile devices

Problems of invasive microtechnologies based drug delivery options for treating glaucoma

November 27, 2016

The field of drug delivery come about due to the inability of current methods for drug provision such as skin patch or oral medication to target specific groups of cells or tissues deep in the body; thereby, resulting in significant side effects on other cell types (most of them healthy). Additionally, given the myriad barriers … More Problems of invasive microtechnologies based drug delivery options for treating glaucoma
