Lung-Mesh: An Inhalable, X-ray–Triggered Hydrogel to Contain Lung Tumors

Lung-Mesh: An Inhalable, X-ray–Triggered Hydrogel to Contain Lung Tumors

by Marcus Hermansson | Sep 16, 2025 | "Science", Engineering & Materials, Medicine, Oncology

TL;DR We propose an inhalable nanoparticle system that biases toward lung-tumor regions (via pH-sensitive retention) and, when exposed to clinical X-rays, polymerizes in situ into a thin hydrogel “mesh.” The intended role is adjunctive: help limit cell shedding at...
Finessing Einstein: Measuring the One‑Way Speed of Light Without Using Light

Finessing Einstein: Measuring the One‑Way Speed of Light Without Using Light

by Marcus Hermansson | Sep 14, 2025 | "Science", Engineering & Materials, Physics & Cosmology

TL;DR The classic problem: you can’t time a one‑way light trip unless your two clocks agree first. Most ways to make them agree secretly use light. Our rule: no light to set the clocks. Our move: build a home‑made time standard from sound sent through three very...
Exploring Galinstan’s Thermal-Expansion Hack for Hydraulic Actuation

Exploring Galinstan’s Thermal-Expansion Hack for Hydraulic Actuation

by Marcus Hermansson | Sep 14, 2025 | "Science", Engineering & Materials

TL;DR — Galinstan (Ga-In-Sn) is a room-temperature liquid metal with a big coefficient of thermal expansion and excellent thermal conductivity. Heat it and it expands—hard—which you can convert into precise hydraulic force. That unlocks actuators and flow control that...
