Solo Cinebot system designed for tele-operated video production

Although the showbiz industry still is centralized in places like Hollywood, it’s becoming less and less so as technology advances. That’s where Solo Cinebot comes in, as it’s a robotic camera system that can be operated over the internet.Continue Read… Continue reading Solo Cinebot system designed for tele-operated video production→

Electrified scaffolding could one day heal broken bones

We’ve already heard about implantable materials with a scaffolding-like microstructure, that help heal broken bones by giving bone cells a place to migrate into. A new one could work even better, though, by also providing electrical stimulation.Continu… Continue reading Electrified scaffolding could one day heal broken bones→

Carbon fiber Tyr aims to be the superyacht of sit-on-top kayaks

The Tyr kayak measures 12'10

While sit-on-top kayaks have become very popular with anglers, most of the boats are fairly tubby, heavy, plastic-bodied things. Apex Watercraft’s Tyr is different, though, in that it’s sleek, lightweight, and made of carbon fiber.

Polymer heart valve is said to combine best features of other types

When it comes to replacing faulty heart valves, there are two options – a metallic artificial valve, or a biological one obtained from a pig or cow. There could soon be a third and perhaps better choice, though, in the form of a polymer replacement hea… Continue reading Polymer heart valve is said to combine best features of other types→

Graphene-based sensor detects spoiled fish and meat

Graphene, the electrically-conductive “wonder material” made up of a one-atom-thick sheet of linked carbon atoms, already has many uses. It now has another, however, as the active ingredient in a sensor that detects food spoilage.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Graphene-based sensor detects spoiled fish and meat→

Forest fire detector is powered by the movement of trees

When it comes to putting out forest fires, the sooner that they’re detected, the better. That’s where a new forest-deployed sensor could come in, as it’s powered by swaying tree branches.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Michigan State University,… Continue reading Forest fire detector is powered by the movement of trees→
