Unlike normal skin, scar tissue doesn’t contain any hair follicles. New research now indicates that when such follicles are transplanted into scar tissue, that tissue changes to become much more like uninjured skin.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, Sc… Continue reading Study suggests hair follicle transplants could eliminate scars

Motion-measuring strain sensors have many uses, such as tracking a person’s physical activity, or reading their blood pressure. A new such device could prove to be particularly useful, as it combines high sensitivity with a wide range of detectable mot… Continue reading Experimental strain sensor uses cuts to combine range and sensitivity
So-called “ab wheels” are widely used to build core strength, with some models offering a limited amount of resistance via spring mechanisms or elastic bands. The ZeroWheel takes things further, however, by incorporating an adjustable-output electric m… Continue reading ZeroWheel adds electric resistance and assistance to the humble ab wheel
Although pushing a baby in a stroller certainly is easier than carrying it, some effort still is required. The Ella stroller is designed to make things easier, with electric-assist motors, a Hands-Free mode, and various other “smart” features.Continue … Continue reading High-tech motorized Ella could be the Tesla of strollers
According to Japanese robotics firm Agrist, there’s a shortage of farm workers in that country, resulting in lower yields than would otherwise be possible. The company is offering a partial solution to the problem, though, in the form of a pepper-picki… Continue reading Pepper-picking robot moves through crops on overhead wires
Although smartphones now shoot amazing video, their form factor still makes them difficult to hold steady while filming. The SmallRig P20 is the latest device designed to address that shortcoming, and it folds into a compact capsule shape when not in u… Continue reading SmallRig P20 steadies smartphone videography, folds into a capsule
We’ve seen fast, nimble, self-balancing wheeled robots, plus we’ve also seen robots that can grasp and carry objects. The evoBOT could prove to be particularly useful, however, as it combines both traits in one clever machine.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading Self-balancing evoBOT grasps and carries cargo
If fruit is going to be grown using herbicides – which is still largely the case – then the fewer of the chemicals that are used, the better. The Herbicide GUSS autonomous robotic spray vehicle was designed with just such concerns in mind.Continue Read… Continue reading Herbicide GUSS autonomously – and judiciously – sprays orchards
Many readers will already be familiar with so-called narco subs, used to smuggle narcotics from South America into Florida and area. Well, according to a new study, the design of such watercraft could actually have some practical – and legal – applicat… Continue reading Study suggests semi-submersible design may make for more efficient ships
