How Cell Phone Batteries Can Help Save Lives
There are places where thousands of children won’t live to the age of five. There are places where thousands of cell phone batteries are thrown away every day. And there are scientists who, by asking the right questions, found a life-saving [...]link between the two. Reusing discarded cell phone batteries, we created affordable and effective solar-powered pulse oximeters for early detection of pneumonia. It’s looking at challenges in new ways like this that has made Boston University one of today’s leading centers of knowledge. And why thinking differently about our world begins with BU.

Team Future
As biologists continue the decades-long race to map the genomes of living things, a dynamic group of BU engineers is asking the kind of questions that engineers can’t help but ask: what if we built a different genome? Known as synthetic [...]biologists, they believe that with some skillful genomic tweaks, living organisms, such as enzymes, cells, and microbes, can be put to work doing things that are too dangerous or not even possible for higher life forms like ourselves.
