Smart toilets will scan your poop and tell you if you’re at risk of a disease
Of all the things tech companies could slap an artificial intelligence into, the toilet bowl is the last thing that comes to mind. But these so-called “smart toilets” will reportedly be able to diagnose your state of health and risk of disease by analyzing your bodily waste. To put it simply, a smart toilet can […]

Engineers are developing a new class of nanofibers that mimic polar bear fur, lotus leaves, and gecko feet
A newly-engineered class of nanofibers will be able to copy the unique properties found in natural materials. Coatings made from these nanomaterials can match the warmth of the white fur of polar bears, repel water like the lotus plant, and stick to surfaces like the sure-footed geckos. The nanofibers are the creation of researchers from the University of […]

Innovative method allows researchers to control magnetism, leading to better low-power technologies
American researchers announced a breakthrough in the manipulation of the magnetic properties of a microchip. Their new approach could solve long-standing physical problems that are preventing much-needed advances in computing, memory, and sensor technology. In the joint study between MIT and Brookhaven National Laboratory (Brookhaven), researchers demonstrated how they can alter the magnetic properties of a very thin material with just a little […]

New way of storing data: Powder?
Belgian researchers developed an oligomer powder that can store electronic data. They believe that data storage devices derived from their new material could one day replace conventional storage systems like USB drives and magnetic drives. Like polymers, oligomers are a type of chemical compound that are comprised of more than one molecule. But whereas a […]

Japanese researchers create a more expressive android child face
In Japan, the newest iteration of a social robot has become much better at controlling the features of its robotic face. This upgraded android child can make facial expressions that are subtler and more human-like. The developers improved the expressiveness of the android’s face to make it easier for people to approach and communicate with. They are capitalizing on the Japanese fascination with robots […]

Researchers create a more energy efficient organic LED
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are going to be much more energy efficient from now on. Korean researchers say they have found a way to improve the external quantum efficiency of an OLED unit. As their name implies, OLEDs are light-emitting diodes that use organic materials to generate light. This makes them more eco-friendly while retaining most […]

Scientists create a “bionic mushroom” that produces electricity
What do you get when you combine an edible mushroom, photosynthetic bacteria, 3D printing, and nanotechnology in one package? A solar-powered bionic fungus, stated a Phys.org article, which can produce usable electricity. This Frankenstein’s Monster is the brainchild of researchers from the Stevens Institute of Technology (Stevens). They used a 3D printer to create cyanobacteria clusters and graphene-based nanoribbons, which […]

High-temperature superconductors may help researchers develop better technologies for fusion energy
Researchers are banking on a newly-developed material to realize the long-standing dream of practical nuclear fusion. They believe high-temperature superconductors (HTS) can raise the efficiency of a fusion power plant to a level that is commercially viable. As their name implies, superconductors are extremely efficient conductors of electricity. They are used in the manufacture of […]

Future smart devices will not use batteries or require charging
Canadian researchers claimed that they are close to freeing smart devices from the limitations of expensive batteries that need regular recharging sessions by eliminating the need for energy storage systems from internet of things (IoT) gadgets. An IoT device is a type of smart device that has its own IP address. It uses this connectivity to […]

Next-gen social robots now have a human-like face that can tilt and maintain eye contact
The world comes another step closer to the eerie mirror universe of Westworld, where robots cannot be distinguished from the humans they mimic. A New Atlas article reported on the recently-unveiled Furhat, a social robot that tilts its head and holds the gaze of its conversation partner. The flagship product of a Swedish robotics company, the machine resembles the head of a […]
