Sustainability is a crucial concern in business and industry these days. Many firms acknowledge the demand to find the very best possible climate-neutral options for producing their products and decreasing contaminants. This indicates they are searching for manufacturing alternatives that do not call for using fossil resources. Great potential in this regard is seen...
The new patch creates harvestable static electricity when exposed to an air currentRMIT Styrofoam’s Potential for Generating Static Electricity If you’ve ever had packing peanuts stick to your clothes while unboxing a delivery, you already know that Styrofoam generates a lot of static electricity. A new invention is now using this property to create a sustainable...
Unlike some other experimental suction-based adhesive patches, the octopus-inspired AMOS patch should be relatively easy to produce on a commercial scaleKAUST Sensors like electrocardiogram (EEG) electrodes can be lifesaving, but the adhesive patches used to attach them can sometimes damage the skin. A new experimental medical patch tackles this problem by using octopus-inspired suckers. Unlike traditional...
A Synchron trial participant controlling Alexa just by thinking about which interface buttons to pressSynchron Neurotech company Synchron has recently achieved significant progress. It has announced that a trial participant used its brain-computer interface (BCI) to control his home by turning on lights, checking who was at the door, and selecting TV content—all without using...
Carbon fiber structural battery developed at Chalmers University of Technology, SwedenChalmers University of Technology | Henrik Sandsjö Researchers have developed and tested a "structural battery" that integrates energy storage into the chassis of a device or EV, significantly reducing weight. This innovation could enable smartphones as thin as credit cards, cut laptop weight in half,...
Researchers have created a stress detector that could be used at homeDepositphotos Researchers have developed a sensor using nanoparticles that can specifically detect cortisol levels, a key stress biomarker, with greater reliability than current methods. This affordable and easily replicable device moves us closer to being able to test stress levels at home. Stress is a...
“This is the first time in three years I’ve felt like myself. It feels like my brain has been woken up,” said one patient treated with the Diadem deviceUniversity of Utah A head-mounted ultrasound device has recently undergone two human trials, demonstrating its potential to alleviate pain and depression effectively. The device, named the Diadem,...
A new portable, injectable pacemaker could last long enough to get arrhythmia patients to hospital for more permanent treatment. Credit: Pixabay A new injectable, temporary pacemaker could address heart arrhythmias in emergencies. This nanoparticle gel can regulate the heart's electrical signals for up to five days before safely dissolving in the body. Arrhythmias occur when the...
Credit: Pixabay Neuroscientists believe they have pinpointed the extensive neural network that fuels the brain's creativity. Unlike specific movements or sensory responses, creative thinking is not limited to a single area of the brain's outer cortex. However, researchers from Baylor College of Medicine have identified the brain circuits crucial to certain types of creative thought. When...
