Skin surface nanochip for healing injuries or organ regrowth.
A new device that reprograms skin cells could represent a breakthrough in repairing injured or ageing tissue. The new technique, called tissue nanotransfection, is based on a tiny device that sits on the surface of living skin. An intense, focused electric field is applied to the device, allowing it to deliver genes to the skin cells beneath it, turning them into different types of cells. This is an exciting opportunity when it comes to repairing damaged tissue - turning a patient's own tissue into a bioreactor to produce cells to either repair nearby tissues, or for use at another site. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/aug/07/nanochip-could-heal-injuries-or-regrow-organs-with-one-touch-

A smart machine to make your favourite beer
A?one-stop-shop where craft beer enthusiasts can simply brew beers without having to be a master brewer. While most beer brewing machines have their body, kegs, and some variable components that require a steep learning curve to be mastered, it combines both the "Brewing Tank" and the "Fermentation Tank" into one machine. Through the LCD screen, tank window, and the app, you can program, monitor, and create a brewing experience in your own kitchen. http://www.igulu.com/

A drug that helps stop the spread of cancer
Scientists working with Cancer Research UK have discovered that a drug developed to treat organ fibrosis can block an enzyme that assists in the spread of cancer cells. In tests conducted on mice, it was able to reduce the size of tumors by up to 50 percent. https://futurism.com/researchers-have-found-a-drug-that-can-help-slow-down-the-spread-of-multiple-cancers/
