Trypanophobia (i.e, the fear of needles), is a formal medical condition affecting approximately 10% of the world population, according to the report by Pharmaceutical Technology.  On their web page , they stated that the newly developed microneedle (as called) was done by researchers at the University of British Columbia.  "University of British Columbia researchers have developed new 'microneedle arrays' that could reduce the discomfort of injections by eliminating the need for deep tissue injections. This is the technology that will impact greatly with time when it becomes widely use." For now, the hypodermic needle using the transcutaneous or transdermal injections and intravenous injections are still widely used methods of drug delivery despite the pain inherent in it.

To test the device, CNN invited Zimmer to cast an expert eye over the British invention, and give a frank assessment of how it works. "The Seaboard is really interesting," Zimmer says, "because you're forever trying to figure out how to make music more expressive. I've always been involved in music and technology and this is quite a relationship we're developing here ... we're trying to figure out how to get beyond the boundaries of technology that was invented 600 years ago or so." Developed in the UK, the Seaboard is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist inventor Roland Lamb. While studying at the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London, Lamb decided to create a new keyboard that he hoped would be more expressive than the piano. "The piano was the first object I truly loved," Lamb says. "I playe...
