Engineers have developed an ingestible jelly-like smart pill that could stay in the stomach for up to 30 days. The pill, which quickly expands into a ping pong-sized ball, could monitor ulcers, cancers, and other conditions in the gastrointestinal tract.
Researchers have designed the first fully flexible, battery-free “rectenna” — a device that converts energy from Wi-Fi signals into electricity — that could be used to power flexible and wearable electronics, medical devices, and sensors for the “internet of things.”

Researchers have reported fabricating atom-thin processors, a discovery that could have far-reaching impacts on nanoscale chip production. They have shown that lithography using a probe heated above 100o C outperformed standard methods for fabricating metal electrodes on 2D semiconductors such as molybdenum disulfide—a material that scientists believe may supplant silicon for atomically small chips.

Researchers have developed a cheap and effective catalyst that can generate hydrogen fuel from water as efficiently as platinum, currently the best — but also most expensive — water-splitting catalyst. The new catalyst, which is composed of nanometer-thin sheets of metal carbide, is manufactured using a self-assembly process that relies on a surprising ingredient: gelatin, the material that gives Jell-O its jiggle.
