A fence that keeps your cat safe at home
When cats try to jump and scale the fence they will place a paw on a paddle, which then spins so they can't get traction, and they fall safely back to the ground. https://www.oscillot.com.au

Making implanted medical devices safer
Implanted medical devices like stents, catheters, and titanium rods are essential, however sometimes the body rejects them or they cause dangerous blood clots. Engineers and scientists from Colorado State University have developed a superhemophobic surface treatment for titanium that repels liquids including blood, plasma, and water. The result is a surface that completely repels any liquid with which it would come in contact and the body doesn't even recognize that it's there. https://futurism.com/weve-created-a-life-saving-blood-repellant-super-material/
