Eggshell Nanospikes May Enhance Ligament Repair

Medicine, Science / Jorge Paka

Scientists have investigated the formation of the hard outer shell of a chicken egg, which is firmly attached to a soft inner membrane. They believe that the findings from this study could enhance reconstructive surgeries, such as ligament repair, where surgeons need to integrate both soft and hard materials. Bird eggshells are remarkable structures, with

OpenAI´s Humanoids doing Great

Robotics, Science, Tech / Eduardo Paulo

Norwegian humanoid robot manufacturer 1X states that the video is devoid of teleoperation, computer-generated imagery, editing, speed alterations, or pre-planned movements. Instead, it is entirely guided by neural networks, operating autonomously at normal speed. This is the company that OpenAI supported with its chips last year by investing $25 million in a Series A funding
