We’ve already seen wirelessly powered implants that stimulate muscles or neurons when activated by an external transmitter. Taking things a step further, scientists are now able to activate multiple implants sequentially, still using just one transmitt… Continue reading Wireless system lets one device sequentially trigger multiple implants
Following a recipe may seem foolproof enough, but the problem is … most recipes can’t tell if you’re doing something wrong. That’s where the Cooksy system comes in, as it actually watches the user’s stovetop as they cook.Continue ReadingCategory: Aroun… Continue reading Cooksy tech “watches over you” as you cook, and tells you what to do
It’s no secret that the more we use antibiotics, the greater the chances that bacteria will develop a resistance to them. A new antibacterial wound dressing is designed to get around that problem, by using proteins instead of conventional antibiotics.C… Continue reading Hydrogel wound dressing uses immune system proteins to kill bacteria
Microneedle patches already show a great deal of promise as a painless alternative to hypodermic needles. A new one, however, could find use as a more effective means of treating serious bacterial infections of the skin.Continue ReadingCategory: Medica… Continue reading Microneedle patch designed to sock it to skin infections
There are now a number of materials designed to give robots or prostheses a sense of touch. And while most of them are thin and skin-like, a new alternative takes the form of a spongey foam – and it combines several desirable qualities.Continue Reading… Continue reading Touch-sensitive, self-healing AiFoam may find use in robotics and more
Ever since the 1890s, cricket bat blades have been made of willow wood. According to a new study, however, bamboo bats should offer better performance and a lower environmental footprint, plus they could make the sport more accessible to people living … Continue reading Study suggests bamboo cricket bats could outperform wood
While many people may buy a separate daypack, waist pack and shoulder bag, the Operator System offers an alternative. It’s a modular setup that incorporates multiple types of zippered bags, which can be worn all together or one at a time, as needed.Con… Continue reading Modular system lets users wear up to five bags at once
Combining attributes of both road and mountain bikes, gravel bikes are becoming an increasingly common sight. So, what if you want one that still manages to look a bit … different? Well, the new Urwahn Acros might be a good choice.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Urwahn Acros gravel bike definitely makes a statement
Over the years, archeologists have unearthed the remains of members of the infamous Franklin expedition, although it hasn’t been possible to confirm the individuals’ identities. Thanks to DNA analysis, however, scientists have now done so for the first… Continue reading DNA provides first-ever confirmed ID of Franklin expedition sailor
In order to keep drivers from passing too close, some cyclists use bike-mounted foam “noodles” that extend out horizontally toward the traffic. The L-Bow takes that concept a step further, by applying it to a tail light.Continue ReadingCategory: Bicycl… Continue reading Bendable bike light made to give cyclists some space
