Researchers have developed a bubble microrobot capable of being guided around the tiny complex blood vessels of the brain using ultrasound. Successfully tested in mice, the ‘microvehicle’ holds potential as a means of precisely delivering drugs to trea… Continue reading Microbubble bots guided through complex brain vessels using ultrasound
Swiss Mile’s ANYmal robot is a remarkable beast, capable of getting around as a wheeled quadruped, or standing up on its hind legs and using its front wheels as hands. Now, it’s learning to do useful tasks – in about the funniest way possible.Continue … Continue reading Humanoid/quadruped transformer throws boxes like a baggage handler
The unique microscopic structure of the feathers of the eastern bluebird, a type of North American thrush, has inspired the creation of a simple-to-produce, scalable and robust novel synthetic material that could be used in batteries and water filters…. Continue reading Feather-inspired material could be used in batteries & water filters
Building a wall by precisely stacking randomly shaped boulders could almost be the definition of hard work – both physically and mentally. It’s the sort of thing we might want robots to do one day, so it should come as no surprise that one has in fact … Continue reading Robotic excavator builds a giant stone wall with no human assistance
Scientists at ETH Zurich have discovered a new type of magnetism. Experiments show that an artificially produced material becomes magnetic through a mechanism that hasn’t been seen before.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTags: Magnetic, Magnet… Continue reading Scientists discover strange new form of magnetism
3D printing single objects out of different materials can be difficult, if those materials cure at different rates. The new Inkbit system addresses that problem, and has been used to print a highly complex functional robotic hand … in just one print jo… Continue reading Inkbit tech 3D-prints complex multi-material items in a single session
Nobody likes getting needles, but unfortunately there are some medications that can only be administered via injection. That could be about to change, however, thanks to the invention of a suction cup that you stick in your mouth.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading A cup in the mouth may replace a needle in the arm for drug delivery
A Swiss student team has absolutely smashed the record for the world’s fastest-accelerating EV. Surreal-looking video shows driver Kate Maggetti rocketing from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in a staggering time just under one second. Here’s how they did it.

There’s no doubt that a lot of people would say, perhaps a little hyperbolically, that rock and roll saved their lives. Now, new research has shown that the music just might be able to serve as a literal life saver for diabetics.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Famous Queen track rocks insulin cells into action
