*New Fabrication Technique Prints Silicon on Paper *
Using a single laser pulse, a group of researchers at Delft University
of Technology in The Netherlands has devised a method that allows
silicon, in the polycrystalline form used in circuitry, to be produced
directly on a substrate from liquid silicon ink. The process can be
expanded to create biomedical sensors and stretchable electronics.

*Smooth Moves from Accuride*
If you've discovered the versatility of Accuride's 115RC Linear Track in
medical cabinets, room partitions, and more, then you'll love the new
Easy-Close add-on. Ideal for lighter loads, the device smoothly stops
movement at either end of the track.

*Portable Breath Test Detects Cancers *
A portable device, developed in part by researchers at the Ecole
Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland, monitors
one's breath for hundreds of volatile organic compounds to quickly
detect the presence of head and neck cancer. The technology, equipped
with extremely sensitive sensors, has been tested on patients and
operates with a computer or even a mobile phone.

*NIST Team Identifies 3D-Printing Intricacies*
Manufacturing researchers at the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) have identified important challenges for powder bed
fusion, the chief method for "printing" metal parts. By identifying the
factors that influence the manufacturing process, professionals will
improve the creation of 3D-printed parts like medical implants.

*Torus*
Torus is filled with complexities: bayonets, text on ribs, gears,
bump-offs, clip cams and more. We created the free design aid to
illustrate that just because we manufacture parts really fast, it
doesn't mean you're limited to certain features in the geometry of your
part. Torus has a trio of interconnected sections, each highlighting
features that serve various purposes in part design.

*Video: Acoustic Device Rapidly Isolates Rare Cancer Cells*
Cancer cells often break free from their original locations and
circulate through the bloodstream, allowing them to form new tumors
elsewhere in the body. Detecting these cells could give doctors a new
way to predict whether patients' tumors will metastasize, or monitor how
they are responding to treatment, but finding these rare cells has
proven challenging. A team of engineers from MIT, Penn State University,
and Carnegie Mellon University is developing a novel way to isolate
these cells: using sound waves to separate them from blood cells.

This Month in MDB
*Everything's Connected: Strategies for Testing New Medical Devices *
Imagine you are recovering from an operation and are fitted with
wireless body sensors that allow you to move in the hospital bed or
around the room in comfort. Once past the critical recovery stage, you
may leave early if you take the sensors with you so that healthcare
providers can monitor your vital statistics transmitted via a wireless
hub connected to your home network. Due to advancements in connectivity,
such a scenario may become the norm for post-operative care. But how do
we get there? And how do medical device companies ensure we get there
safely and securely?

*Precision X-ray Microscope for Nanoscale Imaging*
The need to image nanostructures and chemical reactions down to
nanometer resolution requires a new class of x-ray microscope that can
perform precision microscopy experiments using ultra-bright x-rays. The
National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) at Brookhaven National
Laboratory, has designed such an instrument, which can deliver a suite
of unprecedented x-ray imaging capabilities.
