If you thought the Hypershell was a weird one-and-done style of product, it’s time for a rethink. There are more AI-driven outdoor exoskeletons on the way, designed to help amateur adventurers go farther faster with less effort.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading All-terrain exoskeleton turns your body into a superhuman e-hiker
Soldering is easy, as long as you have one hand to hold the iron, one to hold the solder, and another to hold the workpiece. For those of us not …read more Continue reading Let Your Finger Do the Soldering With Solder Sustainer v2
Regular 2D sewing of anything is inherently wasteful. You can align the pattern pieces however you want, but there’s going to be wasted everything — thread, fabric, and interfacing — …read more Continue reading 4D Knit Dress Skirts Waste
Photoacoustic imaging systems provide a high-resolution glimpse into the body, but they’re bulky. Now, researchers have developed a miniaturized version that fits into a watch, with hardware contained in a backpack that’s the same weight as the average… Continue reading Blood flow-imaging watch lets you see inside your body on-the-go
We’ll be honest with you: we’re not sure if the use of “LED stud” in [mitxela]’s new project refers to the incomprehensibly tiny LED matrix earrings he made, or to …read more Continue reading LED Matrix Earrings Show Off SMD Skills
Researchers have developed contact lenses with embedded sensors that measure the pressure inside the eye and send the information to an ophthalmologist for evaluation. It’s hoped that the lens will lead to the early diagnosis of glaucoma, which can lea… Continue reading New contact lenses monitor changes in eye pressure to diagnose glaucoma
Just like dry-land athletes, swimmers can benefit from monitoring their performance and vital signs while training. The iSwimWeaR device is designed to let them do so – plus it may even help keep them from drowning.Continue ReadingCategory: Sports, Lif… Continue reading iSwimWeaR tracks swimmers’ performance, and watches for trouble
Researchers have developed an ultrathin electronic tattoo capable of reproducing the localized sensation of touch in its wearer. The device has the potential to be used to manufacture lightweight, portable haptic displays and devices for healthcare and… Continue reading Ultrathin electronic tattoo puts haptic feedback at users fingertips
Researchers at MIT have designed a wearable ultrasound patch that can image organs as well as a conventional ultrasound does, without the need for cold gel or an operator. While they used it to measure bladder fullness, the device could also be adapted… Continue reading MIT’s wearable ultrasound patch measures bladder fullness without gel
Inspired by bats’ use of echolocation, researchers have developed smart glasses that transform visual information into unique sound representations that enhance the ability of blind and vision-impaired people to navigate their surroundings. The technol… Continue reading Bat-inspired glasses help the blind & vision-impaired ‘see’ using sound
