Man Survives 100 Days with Artificial Titanium Heart in Successful Trial

Medicine, Surgerical Tech /

An Australian man survived 100 days with an artificial titanium heart—the longest anyone has lived with the device—while waiting for a donor transplant. The patient, a man in his 40s who chose to remain anonymous, received the implant at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney last November. First Patient to Leave Hospital with Artificial Heart Survives […]

Technology that Allows Robots to Grasp Human Intentions could Improve Their Safety and Intelligence

Robotics, Tech /

Robots are increasingly present in daily life, from medical settings to helping at home. However, for people to fully trust and work with them, robots must do more than perform tasks—they must understand humans. This challenge is central to new research led by Dr. Mehdi Hellou through PRIMI, a project focused on helping robots develop

AI Glasses Help the Visually Impaired Navigate Safely

Artificial Intelligence, Tech /

The .Lumen glasses work like a VR headset, using AI and sensors to guide users with forehead vibrations and directional audio instead of visuals. The device can direct you to a chosen destination, describe nearby objects, and assist you while moving through public spaces. Its AI processes sensor data over 100 times per second to

Biodegradable Electronics Can Break Down into Potentially Harmful Microplastics

Electrical & Electronics, Engineering /

Researchers at Northeastern University found that materials used in transient electronics—devices meant to biodegrade after use—can degrade into microplastics, raising concerns about how fully these devices actually dissolve over time. According to Ravinder Dahiya, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Northeastern University and a lead author of the study, a widely used polymer

Researchers Determine How Much Faster Time Moves on Mars

Planetary Science, Space & Environment /

A study by two physicists at the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) found that, on average, clocks on Mars run about 477 microseconds faster per day than those on Earth. Although this time difference remains extremely small, it can significantly impact efforts to synchronize clocks precisely between Earth, the Moon, and Mars.

Japan Makes Fabric that Acts As a Speaker

Computer & Electronics, Tech /

The breakthrough comes from the startup Sensia Technology, which introduced a portable speaker crafted from electronic fabric. Without cones, magnets, or rigid components, the fabric itself produces sound. This design challenges our conventional notion of what a speaker is. The key breakthrough of this Japanese technology is in how it projects sound. Unlike traditional speakers,
