While it’s very important to track malaria infections in at-risk populations, drawing and analyzing blood samples can be problematic. A new device is designed to help, as it uses light to detect the disease within a matter of seconds.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Smartphone-connected device uses light to detect malaria – in 10 seconds
Even though some devices now use WiFi and Bluetooth, so much of our home entertainment equipment still relies on its own proprietary infrared remote control. By and large (when you …read more Continue reading IR Remote Tester Helps You Crack the Code
Canada’s this.is.Noise – the folks behind the Kickstarter-funded Noise Machine from 2020 – has launched an interesting MIDI controller on Indiegogo called the MIDI Blaster, which brings a new level of gesture control to music creation while also adding… Continue reading MIDI controller lights up music expression with the wave of a hand
The James Webb Space Telescope has already snapped some incredible images in its short career, but this new one is a doozy. The plucky young spacecraft has now taken images of the iconic Pillars of Creation, revealing new details and giving a peek behi… Continue reading James Webb snaps stunningly detailed image of Pillars of Creation
Brain cancer is one of the most insidious forms of the disease, but researchers at Stanford have now developed a wireless device that could help improve survival times. When implanted between the skin and skull, the remotely activated device heats up g… Continue reading Infrared implant between skin and skull helps kill brain cancer
You don’t need the full force of the water for every second that you’re in the shower, but constantly turning it up and down at the taps can be tricky. That’s where the Reva shower head comes in, as it automatically reduces the flow whenever you step b… Continue reading User-detecting shower head lowers the water flow when not needed
Many devices use infrared (IR) as a signalling medium like, for example, RGB LED strip controllers modules and some TV controllers. Often times these signals aren’t meant for secure applications …read more Continue reading Your Own Home IR Cloner
The James Webb Space Telescope has snapped its first direct images of an exoplanet. With its uniquely powerful instruments, Webb captures details that other observatories miss, which will help us understand these distant worlds better and potentially f… Continue reading James Webb snaps its first direct image of an exoplanet
We’re all used to receiving data wirelessly, but transmitting power over the air has been much trickier. Now Korean engineers have demonstrated a new system that uses infrared lasers to beam power as far as 100 ft (30 m), which could eventually lead to… Continue reading Infrared laser charger wirelessly beams power to devices 100 ft away
The idea behind the PixMob wristband is simple — at a concert, organizers hand these out to the concertgoers, and during the show, infrared projectors are used to transmit commands …read more Continue reading PixMob Wristband Protocol Reverse-Engineering Groundwork
