Lighter, softer gaming glove features liquid metal sensors

Video game-controlling gloves may be nothing new, but the things do still tend to be relatively heavy and rigid. That could soon change, however, when and if the lightweight, flexible InfinityGlove reaches the market.Continue ReadingCategory: Wearables… Continue reading Lighter, softer gaming glove features liquid metal sensors

“Supergiant” new species of isopod discovered in the deep ocean

All kinds of fascinating discoveries are likely lying in wait for us in the deep sea. Now scientists have pulled a new monster out of the waters off the coast of Indonesia. The creature is a new species of “supergiant” isopod, a huge marine relative of… Continue reading “Supergiant” new species of isopod discovered in the deep ocean

Quantum entanglement demonstrated on tiny CubeSat in orbit

Researchers have managed to demonstrate quantum entanglement on a small satellite orbiting Earth. The team developed a miniaturized device that can produce pairs of photons that are inextricably linked, which could help launch a fast and secure quantum… Continue reading Quantum entanglement demonstrated on tiny CubeSat in orbit

Stretchable material emits light and heals itself

Although some tantalizing research is currently underway, we’re still waiting to see stretchable electronic displays actually reach production. Well, scientists have now created one that can not only be stretched, but that also self-heals when damaged…. Continue reading Stretchable material emits light and heals itself

SEG tech generates electricity using shadows and light

When it comes to regular photovoltaic panels, the fewer shadows that are cast upon them, the better. An experimental new device, however, actually generates electricity via the contrast between shadows and light on its surface.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading SEG tech generates electricity using shadows and light

Unsold bread used to make gut-boosting probiotic beverage

It was just a couple of years ago that we heard how scientists had used soybean waste to produce a healthy (and supposedly tasty) probiotic drink. Now, they’ve done the same thing with unsold bread that would otherwise be discarded.Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading Unsold bread used to make gut-boosting probiotic beverage

Scientists engineer soft, micro-gel particles from ultra-hard pollen

Scientists in Singapore have come up with a new type of soft, pliable particle they say can be used as a building blocks for a new generation of green and biocompatible materials, all by using pollen as a starting point. These incredibly hard natural g… Continue reading Scientists engineer soft, micro-gel particles from ultra-hard pollen

Scrapped car tires recycled into multi-use aerogel

According to the National University of Singapore (NUS), only 40 percent of discarded tires are recycled – the rest are either burned to generate power, or thrown in landfills. Now, however, the university has developed a method of converting old tire … Continue reading Scrapped car tires recycled into multi-use aerogel
