Insects turned into “soft robots” as they have artificial devices embedded on their backs
As if actual robots were not eerie enough, Singapore-based researchers reported their recent success at transforming beetles into “soft robots.” A Soft Robotics article detailed their method of planting artificial feedback devices on the backs of the insects, allowing them to assume direct control over the animals’ flight. Theirs is the first study to report […]

Researchers use graphene to make new and improved concrete
British researchers have succeeded in modernizing concrete with graphene. In a New Atlas article, they reported that the improved concrete is stronger, better at keeping water out, and reduces carbon dioxide pollution by cutting back on cement. Graphene is a sheet of interconnected carbon atoms with the thickness of a single atom. So far, it is the strongest […]

Engineers study self-assembling block polymer membranes as an alternative option for water treatment
As water scarcity spreads across the face of the Earth, researchers are scrambling for ways to convert non-traditional sources into potable water. In a Nano Werk article, engineering researchers from two universities reported that self-assembling block polymer membranes could be used as alternative materials in water filtration. The United Nations warned that about 1.9 billion […]

Researchers create 3D printer that works directly on human skin, could be used to print temporary sensors
Who needs wearable electronics when you can print them on your skin directly? That is the thinking that drove Minnesota-based researchers to customize a 3D printer so that it can put sensors and other temporary electronics on human skin, an article on Phys.org stated. Using the skin of anything alive as a printing surface is difficult […]

A solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicle that can fly to remote areas to be used by the military by 2019
The U.K. military is working on a new drone that is completely powered by solar energy. A Daily Star article reported that the new electric aircraft recharges its batteries during the day so it can keep flying at night, allowing it to fly nonstop for an entire year before finally landing for maintenance. The PHASA-35 unmanned aerial […]

New ear-cleaning device suctions the wax out
Ear cleaning is about to get a long-deserved equipment upgrade. Seattle-based start-up SafKhan has come up with the OtoSet, an ear-cleaning device that can suction out impacted earwax in less than one minute, according to a report from GeekWire. The OtoSet resembles an ordinary pair of comfortable headphones. But it is an automated ear-cleaning device that will […]

New self-tinting “smart window” technology could conserve energy
Canadian researchers announced a new technique for building smart windows. If their discovery turns out to be convenient and cost-effective enough, perhaps the energy-saving technology can finally be deployed on a wide scale, according to a ScienceDaily article. Smart windows are capable of switching from clear to tinted and back again, depending on the needs […]

Radiologists can now use interactive VR to gain a 360-degree view of internal anatomy, improving understanding and treatment of complex conditions
Interventional radiologists can take a quantum technological leap forward when it comes to preparing for complicated procedures involving splenic artery aneurysms (SAA). The use of augmented virtual reality (VR) to reveal the internal anatomy of a patient better than standard volume-rendering (SR) software will enable safer and more precise surgeries, according to a ScienceDaily article. […]

Star Wars hologram tech set to be 3D alternative to video conference calls
A Canadian university has turned a beloved concept in science fiction – 3D holographic communication – into real technology. A CBC article details how researchers demonstrated a videoconferencing system that can create life-sized, three-dimensional holograms of people in distant locations as if they were in the same room. The technology is straight out of Star Wars, […]

The plan to bring rock samples from Mars to Earth may be our best way to learn about ancient alien life
Technology has come a long way since the original International Mars Sample Return Conference in 2008, where experts talked about the possibility of collecting rock samples from Mars and returning them to Earth for analysis. In an article from The Conversation, this dream may soon come true, which could finally provide researchers with conclusive evidence […]
