Move over, colonoscopies! Newly developed miniature “pills” can sense gastrointestinal bleeding. The tiny microspheres are packed with blood-sensing bacteria and magnetic particles that make it easy to collect the microspheres from stool. [1/2]

Postmenopausal osteoporosis weakens bones, making them prone to fracture. Tests of a new double-layered estradiol drug delivery system showed that treated mice improved their bone density without uterine side effects. The system and study are detailed in ACS’ Nano Letters. Read more:
Bone-targeted estrogen delivery reverses postmenopausal osteoporosis in mice - American Chemical Society
Researchers developed a two-layer shell to encapsulate the estradiol hormone so it bypasses the uterus and releases only within an osteoporotic bone.

The magenta film (right square) is a new type of digital display technology that shares messages and cools the person’s arm underneath. When compared to commercial wrap film with a similar hue (left square), the magenta flexible display cools the arm better.

Whether you like your food plain, mild or eye-wateringly spicy, its appearance doesn’t usually give away its heat level. Researchers solved the problem the same way many treat a fiery mouth: with milk. Read more about this artificial tongue published in ACS Sensors: buff.ly/UKDPVr1 🌶️🔥
