Engineers create a type of e-skin that restores the sense of touch for amputees using prosthetics
Amputees may soon be able to find relief from the phantom limb sensation that haunts them, stated an article in Science Daily. American researchers have created an electronic skin for prosthetic hands that can return a sense of touch to the user. Developed by engineers at the Johns Hopkins University (JHU), the e-skin is a layer […]

Computer scientists develop software that can look a few minutes into the future
An article in Alpha Galileo reported a development straight out of the Tom Cruise sci-fi movie Minority Report. German computer experts have created artificial intelligence that can predict what a person is going to do in a few minutes. The software program is trained by watching videos that depict the step-by-step process of an action. […]

Spider silk is so strong that researchers can use it to improve the performance of piezoelectric nanogenerators
Spider silk is pretty strong stuff. It’s so strong, Indian and South Korean researchers are using it to create nano-scale piezoelectric generators. In an article in Nanowerk, the researchers reported getting spider silk molecules to generate an electric charge when placed under physical pressure. This was the first time a piezoelectric response has been elicited […]
