If you transport your bike on a car-top rack, there’s a risk that you’ll forget it’s up there, and smash it into a low-hanging garage door or other overhead obstacle. The Veloroof system is designed to greatly reduce that risk.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Veloroof uses ultrasound to save car-top-carried bikes
Engineers at MIT have designed a tiny sticker that can deliver continuous ultrasound images of internal organs for up to 48 hours. The innovation is a step towards a future where stickers could wirelessly track muscle health during workouts or fetal de… Continue reading Tiny ultrasound stickers a breakthrough in continuous real-time imaging
We’ve seen all kinds of interfaces come and go over the years, from keyboards and mice to lightpens and touchscreens. Now, a group of researchers at the University of Tokyo …read more Continue reading Balloons Are The User Interface Of The Future
3D printing typically involves depositing layers of molten plastic, laser-melting powdered metal, or using UV light to harden gelatinous resin. A new technique takes yet another approach, however, by utilizing sound waves.Continue ReadingCategory: 3D P… Continue reading New type of 3D printing uses sound waves to build up objects
Lasers are one of the tools physicians can lean on to tackle plaque buildup on arterial walls, but current approaches carry a risk of complications and can be limited in their effectiveness. By bringing ultrasound into the mix, scientists at the Univer… Continue reading Lasers and ultrasound combine to pulverize arterial plaque
It may be blurry and blotchy, but it’s ours. The first images of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy were revealed this week, and …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: May 15, 2022
Along with providing users with sights and sounds, some VR systems also deliver tactile sensation to the hands. A new ultrasound-based setup, however, lets users feel the virtual world on and in their mouths – without making physical contact.Continue R… Continue reading Ultrasound-based system lets users feel VR worlds in their mouths
The idea of using ultrasound to non-invasively target cancer is an appealing one that is gaining real traction, on the back of studies demonstrating how it can more effectively deliver drugs, selectively take out cancer cells and heat and destroy disea… Continue reading Ultrasound partially destroys tumors, calls in immune cells to finish job
When a pacemaker’s battery gets low, the whole implant typically has to be surgically replaced. Scientists are therefore developing a noninvasive battery recharging system, which utilizes externally applied ultrasound.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical,… Continue reading Implanted generator could use ultrasound to charge pacemaker batteries
Promising new research has raised the possibility of treating type 2 diabetes without drugs. Across three different animal models researchers have demonstrated how short bursts of ultrasound targeted at specific clusters of nerves in the liver can effe… Continue reading Diabetes successfully treated using ultrasound in preclinical study
