Researchers raise concerns about the possible social, moral, and legal repercussions of technology’s close relationship with the human brain. However, it may sound like a cyborg future where people can communicate with and control other people’s external technological gadgets by using their minds. Yet, this possibility may be closer than we believe. Brain-computer interface In […]

A sweat-proof electronic skin has been created by MIT researchers in South Korea. It is a conformable, sticky patch with embedded sensors that can track a person’s health without breaking down or coming off even when the wearer is perspiring. The patch is made of synthetic sweat ducts that the researchers engraved through the material’s
Even while working out, sweat-proof electronic “Smart Skin” Accurately Measures Vitals Read More »
Prosthetics enable a wide range of everyday tasks, including shaking hands, stroking cats, and zipping up bags. Over 5 million people worldwide have had their upper limbs amputated, and prostheses have advanced significantly. A growing number of commercial neuroprosthetics, which are highly articulated bionic appendages designed to pick up a person’s residual muscle signals and

According to recent research in live mice and human cells in culture, the peptide MOTS-c has shown promise in preventing type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases may be treated as a consequence of the peptide’s apparent control over the body’s immune system. When an individual’s immune system assaults the insulin-producing beta
