Robotic hands do show a lot of promise for various applications, but their mechanical complexity still limits their possible uses. A new air-powered hand is much simpler, but still dextrous enough to be utilized to play a video game.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Air-powered soft robotic hand used to play Super Mario Bros
Although an airliner’s engines may be quite loud on takeoff, its wings also create a lot of wind noise when it’s landing. According to a new study, the latter problem could be addressed with the addition of a shape-memory alloy filler within the wing.C… Continue reading Shape-memory alloy component could make for quieter aircraft landings
Since smartphones have pretty much replaced point-and-shoot cameras, we’re now seeing an increasing number of devices that make phones more camera-like to operate. A new one, the Fjorden, stands out by being slim enough to fit in a pocket.Continue Read… Continue reading Fjorden takes a slimmer approach to turning your iPhone into a camera

For many people with arthritic knees, a surgical procedure known as a high-tibial osteotomy (HTO) often brings relief. Thanks to 3D printing technology, however, it could soon be even more effective – and also safer to perform.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading 3D-printed plate could make for better, quicker arthritic knee surgery

After someone has suffered a heart attack, non-beating scar tissue grows back in place of the damaged cardiac tissue, leaving the heart permanently weakened. A newly developed spray-on medication, however, may someday help change that.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Exosome spray may be better able to heal damaged hearts

Camping with your dog can be fun, but it does also pose a few challenges. The two-person Kings Peak Tent was designed with that in mind, as it has a separate section – complete with its own separate door – specifically for Fido.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading Kings Peak Tent features a separate section for dogs
Along with their batteries, many electric cars now utilize supercapacitors for tasks such as quickly delivering power while accelerating. Thanks to new research, a key component of such devices could soon be made from waste tamarind shells.Continue Rea… Continue reading Scientists convert tamarind waste into energy storage material for EVs
