The Backpack That Makes Every Step Feel Like Walking on the Moon

Leave a Comment / Applied Science, Robotics /

Researchers at the University of Tokyo’s Rekimoto Lab have developed a backpack that transforms ordinary jumps into moon-like leaps. Known as Lunavity—or Augmented Jump in the research paper—the device mounts a multi-rotor aircraft on the wearer’s back and generates continuous upward thrust. By reducing the user’s effective weight, it enables higher jumps, longer airtime, and […]

Research Suggests Trillions of Non-Human Conscious Beings Surround Us

Leave a Comment / Applied Science, Neuroscience /

Human beings are naturally anthropocentric, often viewing ourselves as the pinnacle of evolution. Yet, in terms of biomass, humans are insignificant compared with plants and other forms of life. Scientists estimate that Earth is home to more than three trillion trees—far more than the number of stars in our galaxy. When the hundreds of thousands

Berkeley Researchers Develop Tiny Device to Prevent Food Poisoning Cases

Leave a Comment / Applied Science, Robotics /

If you end up with an upset stomach after eating questionable food, you may consider yourself one of the lucky ones. Foodborne illnesses are a serious global health threat that can cause far more than temporary digestive discomfort. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 850 million people become sick each year from

Humanoid robots in China assembled over 3,000 tablets during a 10-hour shift

Applied Science, Robotics /

During a trial at Longcheer Technology’s manufacturing facility in Nanchang, China, Agibot’s G2 humanoid robots processed more than 3,000 tablets over nearly 10 hours. The test was broadcast live continuously for six days. Agibot reported that the robots maintained a 99.99% success rate throughout the demonstration. Their tasks included inspecting, positioning, and separating tablets as

Mushrooms causing tiny human hallucinations contain no psychedelics

Applied Science, Neuroscience /

If you ate a wild mushroom and suddenly began seeing tiny people, you might naturally assume it contained a known psychedelic compound. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case with Lanmaoa asiatica—locally called “jian shou qing”—a species sold in markets in Yunnan in southwestern China. Undercooked Consumption and Lilliputian Hallucinations When eaten insufficiently cooked,

Robotic bird sheds light on the mysteries of turbulent flight

Robotics, Tech /

A bio-inspired robotic bird that replicates the key movements of kestrels is helping researchers uncover the secrets behind the birds’ remarkable ability to hover. With climate change expected to intensify atmospheric turbulence, studying how birds naturally navigate and stabilize themselves in rough air could inform the design of small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAVs), making them
