When treating severely broken bones, doctors want new bone tissue to grow back as fast as possible, and they also want to keep the wound site from becoming infected. Scientists have developed an implantable composite material that reportedly delivers o… Continue reading Implantable composite designed to fill and heal broken bones
While there are now a number of handheld systems for checking if a medication is the genuine article or a counterfeit, most require users to access an online database. The SmartID system, on the other hand, works entirely offline.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading SmartID tech works offline to detect counterfeit meds
Early humanoid robots probably won’t be able to do much that Fraunhofer’s self-balancing evoBOT can’t do much faster, and its new autonomous, omnidirectional O³dyn pallet jack looks like another slam dunk for logistics and warehousing.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Fraunhofer’s high-speed logistics robots may steal humanoids’ thunder
Is your scarf really made from cashmere? Is that necktie truly silk? Such questions may soon have an easy answer via a pass with your cell phone’s camera thanks to a tiny near-infrared spectroscopy system developed by researchers in Germany.Continue Re… Continue reading Is it really 100% cotton? Smartphone-sized device can analyze fabrics
Currently, almost all powered prosthetic hands utilize electrodes that detect the user’s muscle impulses and convert them into hand movements. A new system which is in development, however, should reportedly work better by utilizing ultrasound.Continue… Continue reading SOMA system will control prosthetic hand via ultrasound, not electrodes
Technology never sits still, so while 5G communications feels pretty new and flashy, the industry is already making preparations for the next generation. LG Electronics and the Fraunhofer Heinrich-Hertz Institute have now conducted a test that set a ne… Continue reading LG sets new real-world-ready distance record for 6G data transmission
On frequently travelled waterways, it’s essential for vessel operators and local authorities to have maps of both bottom and shoreline features. A newly adapted autonomous watercraft could soon make the creation of such maps easier than ever before.Con… Continue reading High-tech watercraft autonomously 3D-maps seabeds and shorelines
There may be new hope for people who suffer from involuntary muscle tremors. Scientists are developing a partially implanted system that stimulates muscles in order to stop their problematic activity – with a little help from the nervous system.Continu… Continue reading Experimental system may stop unwanted tremors by subtly zapping muscles
While short-range radio remote control may be fine for consumer drones, long-distance delivery drones often use cellular networks to communicate with their operators. A new mobile network system could make the latter method much more reliable.Continue … Continue reading SUCOM tech makes for better cellular comms with delivery drones
Solar panels can’t operate efficiently if they’re caked in dirt, but cleaning them regularly can become a time-consuming process. Engineers in Germany have now developed an ultra-thin coating that can make solar panels and other surfaces self-cleaning…. Continue reading Ultra-thin coating makes for self-cleaning solar panels
