Entering passcodes on smartphones can be difficult for the blind, as they can’t see the screen, nor can they tell if someone else is peeking at it. The OneButtonPIN app is designed to help, by utilizing vibrations instead of visuals.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading OneButtonPIN app buzzes fingers to help blind users unlock their phone
There are currently quite a few stand-alone solar power systems designed for use by campers. US portable energy company Jackery has taken a more consolidated approach, however, as its LightTent-AIR tent comes with such a system already built in.Continu… Continue reading Jackery’s inflatable LightTent-AIR features its own solar power system
Self-driving cars typically use radar or LiDAR technology to avoid collisions with other vehicles. Scientists have now created a much simpler insect-inspired system that could serve the same purpose more efficiently – at night, that is.Continue Reading… Continue reading Simple automotive collision-avoidance sensor inspired by insect brains
While we’ve heard about a number of “electronic noses,” the devices are rarely as sensitive as their natural counterparts. That’s why Israeli scientists have taken a new approach, by incorporating a locust antenna into an odor-identifying robot.Continu… Continue reading Wheeled robot uses a locust antenna to identify odors
Apple has announced the latest version of the MacBook Pro, powered by a choice of the new M2 Pro or M2 Max chip. As compared to existing Intel- and M1-powered models, both versions offer a considerable boost in performance and battery life.Continue Rea… Continue reading M2 Pro and Max MacBook Pros boast 22-hour battery and faster performance
Admit it – when you walk on one of those “moving sidewalks” at an airport, you like to pretend that you’re easily able to stroll at superhuman speeds. Well, Rollkers are designed to give you that same sensation, as you walk down city streets.Continue R… Continue reading Rollkers put a motorized moving sidewalk under your feet
When most people think of a grain crop, they picture a field full of one type of plant. A new study, however, indicates that crops made up of mixed grains are both more resilient and higher-yielding than their conventional counterparts.Continue Reading… Continue reading Study shows how mixed-grain crops can thrive where others falter
When someone suffers a heart attack, their heart is left permanently scarred and thus less capable of pumping blood. According to a new study, however, a protein injection could help undo such damage.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Univ… Continue reading Protein injection gets heart scar tissue working again
As is the case with so many other things, the sooner that Alzheimer’s disease is detected, the more that can be done to slow its progress. An experimental implantable lens could help, by changing in appearance at the early stages of the illness.

Once a mine has been exhausted of its ore, there’s really no use for it anymore – it just becomes an abandoned hole in the ground. According to a new study, however, the shafts of such mines could serve in energy-storing gravity batteries.Continue Read… Continue reading Scientists propose turning abandoned mines into gravity batteries
