Not only are colonoscopies invasive and uncomfortable, they may also miss gut-problem-related biomarkers that are only present in the body for a short time. A new “smart pill” is designed to address such shortcomings, utilizing live light-up bacteria.C… Continue reading Smart pill uses luminescing bacteria to diagnose gut problems
While gingivitis can lead to tooth loss, the bacteria responsible for the gum disease can also enter the bloodstream and cause heart disease or other maladies. That’s why early detection is important, which is where a new home testing kit may soon come… Continue reading Home test kit could soon spot gingivitis between visits to the dentist
When it comes to high-end, high-performance bicycles, most people look to materials like carbon fiber and titanium. Thanks to a technique utilized in the building of the Hypocrite gravel bike, however, aluminum can also fit the bill quite nicely.Contin… Continue reading Hypocrite gravel bike features a sand-casted pressure-formed aluminum frame
Although lithium can be found in hard mineral ores, it’s more often extracted from very salty (aka briny) groundwater. The latter task could soon be much quicker and eco-friendlier, thanks to a new string-based extraction technique.Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading Dangling strings slash the time and space needed for lithium harvesting
Although robotic lawnmowers have come a long way, many still require users to lay down perimeter wires and clear the lawn of any obstacles. Such is not the case with the Neomow X, though, as it utilizes LiDAR SLAM technology.Continue ReadingCategory: A… Continue reading Neomow X uses LiDAR SLAM smarts to robo-mow your lawn
It goes without saying that it is very important for airliners’ jet engines to be regularly inspected. Such inspections could soon be easier and more thorough than ever before, thanks to a robot that moves like an inchworm.Continue ReadingCategory: Rob… Continue reading Bio-inspired Sensiworm is made to inch(worm) its way into jet engines
Three years ago, California-based Jump Aero announced its plan to bring first responders to emergency sites via eVTOL aircraft. The company has now unveiled the design and specs of the vehicle, and already has a buyer lined up.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Jump Aero reveals design of ambulance-beating JA1 Pulse eVTOL
In recent years we’ve seen quadruped robots, self-balancing robots, and omnidirectional robots. Should you want one of your own, the UGOT Robotic Kit now allows users to build all of those bots and more.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, TechnologyTag… Continue reading UGOT kit turns you into the maker of seven robots
The aroma of food plays a huge role in its perceived flavor, and unfortunately many plant-based meat alternatives don’t smell much like real meat. That could be about to change, though, thanks to fungus and onions.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags:… Continue reading Onions n’ fungus could make fake meat smell meatier
We often hear of cyanobacteria as being the cause of toxic blue-green algae blooms in lakes and rivers. Soon, however, a 3D-printed material that incorporates the microbes could be used to help purify polluted water – and after the bacteria are finishe… Continue reading Material uses live cyanobacteria to neutralize waterborne pollutants
