Nanomedicine is revolutionising cancer care. By harnessing particles smaller than 100 nanometers, scientists can now target cancer cells with precision while sparing healthy tissue. These nano-scale delivery vehicles—like liposomes and dendrimers—boast a high surface area and customizable chemistry

The humanoid robotics development company technology provides a modular humanoid robotic system designed for use in manufacturing, research, education, healthcare, hospitality, security and surveillance. The modular design makes the humanoid robot easily upgradeable and customisable for various

The DarkLight™ Catalyst is an advanced, biosynthesised titanium dioxide (TiO₂) photocatalyst that functions efficiently without the need for visible or ultraviolet light. Developed through a green synthesis process using natural extracts from Hibiscus sabdariffa, the material features an oxygen

The technology relates to an innovative process for converting waste cooking oils to biosurfactants that are applicable to various industries. The process utilises a special yeast strain to convert waste into biosurfactant at competitive concentrations. The downstream process includes a bioreactor

The product “Clock‑out” leverages the indigenous South African plant Sceletium tortuosum, known for its significant neurochemical benefits. This plant has been scientifically validated to increase the levels of neurohormones such as noradrenaline and serotonin, which are crucial for mood regulation

The Stellenbosch Endometriosis Quality of Life measure is a questionnaire that has 25 questions and covers 8 different dimensions. Comprehensive Assessment: The 8 critical dimensions assessed by SEQOL, include psychological well-being, vitality, and sexual and reproductive functioning. Patient

The technology promises to be a new treatment for breast or oesophageal cancer. This drug candidate shows great promise in vitro at inducing cytotoxicity in cancer cell lines with similar activities to very potent clinical chemotherapeutics currently on the market. In addition, there are no similar

The device is a user-guided robot which holds and maneuvers a laparoscope, to assist surgeons in minimal access surgery. It can maneuver the laparoscope with five degrees of freedom, namely pitch, yaw, translation, image rotation, and roll of the telescope.

The increasing interest in traditional medicine (TM) herbs for chronic disease treatment has led to significant research into plant-based therapeutics with antioxidant properties. One plant of particular interest is Leonotis leonurus, a South African TM plant, of which leaves have been extensively

The technology described provides an efficient method for separating a polyphenolic compound (such as resveratrol) from biomass, the method comprising feeding the biomass into an aqueous two-phase system with a polymer phase and a salt phase and separating the polymer phase, which includes the

The therapeutic toxicity and resistance to currently available treatment options are major clinical challenges for the management of lung cancer. As a novel strategy, researchers synthesized analogues of a known flavonol, fisetin, which has shown anti-tumorigenic potential against cancer in cell

The PureLite Reactor™ provides a highly efficient and customisable platform for various applications. Its energy-efficient LED light sources, advanced control systems, and versatile design give researchers precise control over photochemical reactions, making it a vital tool in environmental science
