Through a combination of 3D printing techniques and sprayable electronic technology, researchers have come up with a new kind of touchscreen display that can be adapted to almost any shape. They’re calling it ProtoSpray.Continue ReadingCategory: Wearab… Continue reading Spray-on touchscreen tech can adapt to almost any shape
When it comes to replacing faulty heart valves, there are two options – a metallic artificial valve, or a biological one obtained from a pig or cow. There could soon be a third and perhaps better choice, though, in the form of a polymer replacement hea… Continue reading Polymer heart valve is said to combine best features of other types
Likely measuring more than 5 meters (16 ft) in length, Titanichthys was a giant armored fish that swam the oceans 380 million years ago. It may sound intimidating, but new research suggests that it fed in a manner much like that of today’s harmless bas… Continue reading Giant armored prehistoric fish may have fed on plankton
Imagine touching the armrest of your sofa to change the channel on your television, or pressing against a lightbulb stencil on the wall to turn on your smart light – these functions and many more like them are now possible thanks to research from a tea… Continue reading Sprayable sensors make any surface interactive
While many insects that would otherwise become bat food rely on the sounds created by the nocturnal creatures to dodge their advances, deaf species of moth have no such luxury. These critters do have another trick up their sleeve, it turns out, with re… Continue reading Deaf moths use commercial-grade noise-cancelling to dodge hungry bats
Spraying crops with weed-killer is not only harmful to the environment, but it’s also costly for farmers. With those problems in mind, scientists have conducted a study which suggests that less herbicide could be used for the same results, if applied at the right time of day.

A team of mathematicians, physicists, philosophers and psychologists argue that the decline of democracies is poorly understood, but concepts from complex systems theory may offer a solution. Continue reading Complex Systems Theorists Explain Why Democracy Is Dying
Scientists think tractor beams could be used in medicine in the near future. Continue reading Doctors Could Someday Use Tractor Beams to Get Those Tiny Floaters Out of Your Eyes
