If you want to gather climate-change data from the deep ocean, why not just hitch a ride with an organism that’s going down there anyways? That’s the thinking which led to the creation of “biohybrid jellyfish” which pack not one but two speed-boosting … Continue reading Speedy biohybrid jellyfish are part-gelatinous, part-machine
So, maybe right now isn’t the best time to get into the high-altitude ballooning hobby? At least in the US, which with the downing of another — whatever? — over …read more Continue reading Hackaday Links: February 12, 2023
Manipulating microbes to work for us has been a staple of human civilization for millennia, since we learned how to use yeast to make bread and booze. In a modern breakthrough, scientists have now created semi-living “cyborg cells” that can survive in … Continue reading Semi-living “cyborg cells” can survive where normal bacteria can’t
Feeling confined by the “traditional” cyberdeck form factor, [adam] decided to build something a little bigger with his Cyberpack VR. If you’ve ever dreamed of being a WiFi-equipped porcupine, then …read more Continue reading 2022 Cyberdeck Challenge: Cyberpack VR
Why design robots from scratch when nature has already done a lot of the hard work for us? That’s the reasoning behind cyborg insects, and now scientists have found a way to make remote-controlled cyborg cockroaches more advanced, by powering them usin… Continue reading Remote-controlled cyborg cockroaches are now solar-powered

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have managed to create a kind of cyborg, by integrating the ear of a locust into a robot. The robot was then able to respond to noises that the biological sensor picked up, which could pave the way for more sensitive … Continue reading Biohybrid robot wired to “hear” using locust’s ear
Six years ago, we first heard about tiny two-legged “bio-bots” that used spinal muscle tissue to walk. Well, they’ve now received a big upgrade, in the form of spinal cord tissue that essentially makes them self-powered.Continue ReadingCategory: Scienc… Continue reading Tiny walking bio-bots get a spinal-cord pep in their step
Sleep schedules are an early casualty in the fight to be productive. Getting good sleep is an uphill battle, so anything that can help us is a welcome ally. We all know about the phone and computer settings that turn down the infamous blue hues at sunset, but what about …read more
A malicious spam campaign that informs victims it contains a “critical Windows update” instead leads to the installation of Cyborg ransomware, researchers have found. Further, they were able to access its builder, which can be used to creat… Continue reading ‘Windows Update’ Installs Cyborg Ransomware
