In the commercial production of apple juice and cider, large quantities of fibrous waste – known as pomace – is generated as a byproduct. And while that material is currently just discarded, new research suggests that it could be used to boost the heal… Continue reading Apple waste may find use in health-boosting chicken feed
While time-lapse videos can be quite striking, creating them usually involves leaving the camera in one place for the duration of the shoot. A new app allows such videos to be recorded on a smartphone, which can be moved and used for other things betwe… Continue reading App lets iPhones shoot time-lapse, without having to stay in one place
Wearable technology is capable of tracking various measures of human health and is getting better all the time. New research shows how this could come to mean real-time feedback on posture and body mechanics. A research team at Cornell University has d… Continue reading BodyTrak wrist camera constructs 3D models of the body in real time
A new paper published in the journal Oceanography speculates future global food production problems could be solved by growing protein-dense microalgae in coastal aquaculture farms. The modeling boldly projects 100% of global protein demands could be p… Continue reading Coastal algae farms proposed as solution to future food crisis
Engineers at Cornell University have developed a new wearable device that can monitor a person’s facial expressions through sonar and recreate them on a digital avatar. Removing cameras from the equation could alleviate privacy concerns.Continue Readin… Continue reading Wearable sonar tracks facial expressions using sound instead of cameras
When cartilage in joints such as the knees gets damaged, it is very slow to heal – if it ever does at all. An experimental new biohybrid material could one day replace it, however, and may even promote the growth of new natural cartilage.Continue Readi… Continue reading Biohybrid material could replace and regrow damaged cartilage
New research led by a team from Cornell University and the University of British Columbia has demonstrated a novel nasal spray can prevent infection from SARS-CoV-2. The experimental treatment was found to be effective in preliminary animal studies wit… Continue reading Experimental nasal spray prevents COVID-19 in mouse models
If you were in a business meeting or a quiet library, it wouldn’t really be appropriate if you suddenly blurted out “Siri, check email.” That’s where the Speechin necklace is designed to come in, as it recognizes silent speech.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Speechin necklace recognizes its wearer’s silently spoken words
We generally don’t think of fish as being a vocal bunch – after all, anglers don’t typically use “fish calls” to lure them in. According to a new study, however, approximately two-thirds of all fish species probably use sound to communicate.Continue Re… Continue reading Study suggests that most fishes communicate with sound
Although many scientists have been working on microscopic “robots” that could deliver drugs to specific locations within the body, one challenge remains – powering the things without the use of bulky onboard batteries. A new approach utilizes ultrasoun… Continue reading Bubble-powered drug-delivery microbots are steered by ultrasound
