Odd-looking glasses track your eyes and facial expressions without cameras

Two new technologies allow a single pair of glasses to track eye movements and read the wearer’s facial expressions, respectively. The systems use sonar instead of cameras, for better battery life and increased user privacy.Continue ReadingCategory: We… Continue reading Odd-looking glasses track your eyes and facial expressions without cameras

Augmented-cotton bandage kills bacteria without using antibiotics

While infected wounds definitely aren’t a good thing, neither is the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria which may occur due to overuse of the drugs. That’s where a new type of cotton bandage comes in, as it kills microbes without resorting … Continue reading Augmented-cotton bandage kills bacteria without using antibiotics

Low- & non-alcoholic beer may be a breeding ground for food-borne bugs

A new study has found that compared to regular-strength beer, low- and non-alcoholic beers may be a breeding ground for food-borne pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella, which can be introduced during manufacturing, storage, or pouring.Continue Reading… Continue reading Low- & non-alcoholic beer may be a breeding ground for food-borne bugs

Under-skin implant reverses type 1 diabetes without anti-rejection drugs

Researchers have developed a technique to implant a thread-like device containing insulin-secreting pancreatic cells in a pocket under the skin. The device reversed type 1 diabetes in mice and didn’t require the administration of anti-rejection drugs. … Continue reading Under-skin implant reverses type 1 diabetes without anti-rejection drugs

Huge explosions 100 billion times the energy of the Sun stump scientists

Space is a place of astronomical violence and volatility, so it’s fitting that the latest puzzle that has stumped the stargazing science world has been dubbed the Tasmanian Devil, a likeminded erratic ball of pent-up energy in marsupial form.Continue R… Continue reading Huge explosions 100 billion times the energy of the Sun stump scientists

VRoxy system pushes telepresence beyond just looking and talking

When it comes right down to it, most telepresence robots are essentially just remote-control tablets that can be steered around a room. The VRoxy system is different in that its robot replicates the user’s movements, plus it auto-pilots itself to diffe… Continue reading VRoxy system pushes telepresence beyond just looking and talking

In a first, memory shown to have two distinct past and future paths

For the first time, scientists have teased apart two parts of our memory that makes the all-important whole

For the first time, scientists have found that the region in our brain that houses memory is made up of not one but two sections: one that deals with past experiences of time and places, and one that is more predictive, and actively constructs future behaviors.
