When it comes to detecting biomarker chemicals in a person’s body, sweat-analyzing sensors offer a less painful alternative to blood sampling. A new wearable sensor takes a unique approach to collecting that sweat, by mimicking cactus needles.Continue … Continue reading Sweat-analyzing sensor copies the cactus to gather more liquid
Despite being related to the humble freshwater perch, the Atlantic goliath grouper grows to be huge – up to 8 feet long (2.4 m) and 800 lb (363 kg). Scientists have recently learned more about its behaviour, using a new multifunctional high-tech tag.Co… Continue reading Sensor-packed tag gathers more data than ever on giant grouper fish
The burning of coal may be falling out of favor as a means of generating heat and electricity, but that doesn’t mean the material no longer has any valuable uses. According to a new study, it could be utilized in the desalination of seawater.Continue R… Continue reading Coal could find new use in eco-friendly desalination tech
Although the deep ocean floor may seem isolated from life on the rest of the planet, it actually plays a vital role in the global carbon cycle. Scientists are now gaining a better understanding of that role, thanks to a tracked robotic underwater rover… Continue reading Tracked bottom-crawling robot gathers valuable deep-sea data
If a patient is infected with antibiotic-resistant bacteria, it’s crucial that doctors are aware of the fact as soon as possible. There’s where a recently-developed test is intended to come in, as it can detect such microbes in under 90 minutes.Continu… Continue reading Fast electronic test determines if bacteria are antibiotic-resistant
It goes without saying that a lot of people are receiving the COVID-19 vaccine these days, and will continue to do so for some time. A new robot is designed to help streamline the process, by autonomously – and needle-lessly – vaccinating human patient… Continue reading Cobi robot autonomously performs needle-less vaccinations
Although carbon fiber can be repaired and recycled to a certain extent, it’s typically just discarded once it’s damaged. According to a recent study, however, a new type of the material can be easily fixed or reused through the simple application of he… Continue reading Heat-healing carbon fiber could be easily repaired and recycled
Having a little place out in the country might be nice, but the structure would be subject to some pretty harsh natural elements. Well, the Zome was invented with such concerns in mind, as it’s designed to last up to a whopping 500 years – which isn’t … Continue reading Zome home is designed to last, while staying eco-friendly
While quadcopter drones certainly are useful, mounting sensors or other payloads on them can be difficult, plus they’re often awkward to carry. That’s where the Spirit drone is designed to come in, with its innovative cylindrical, modular body.Continue… Continue reading Spirit cylindrical drone features a plug-and-play modular design
There are an increasing number of rigs available to smartphone videographers, such as selfie sticks, jibs and stabilizers. The Morphi is intended to replace all of those tools, by combining them in one modular device.Continue ReadingCategory: Photograp… Continue reading Morphi morphs into multiple smartphone videography devices
