After a landmark lunar flyby that took four astronauts farther from Earth than any humans before, the Artemis II crew has transmitted remarkable images from the Moon’s far side. Earth Over the Lunar Horizon The photos show Earth rising and setting over the Moon, a rare solar eclipse, and detailed views of the far side’s […]

Just when foldables seemed to have hit their limit, one smartphone maker is taking things sky-high—literally. Introducing OPPO’s Find U, the ultimate “smart umbrella.” It takes cues from flagship foldables but goes way beyond. The Find U’s 4K Canopy and Flexion Hinge OPPO says the Find U uses the Find N6’s Flexion Hinge, rated for

Researchers have created a solar thermoelectric generator that delivers 15 times the efficiency of the latest leading devices. Researchers aiming for greater energy independence have investigated solar thermoelectric generators (STEGs) as a way to generate electricity from the sun. Unlike conventional photovoltaic panels, STEGs can harness both direct sunlight and other forms of thermal energy.

Prolonged work in fixed postures often fatigues muscles and causes musculoskeletal disorders because muscles do not handle sustained contractions well, even at low intensity. Gravity exerts maximum torque on the shoulder and elbow when the upper and lower arms extend forward horizontally, as in repetitive tasks like drilling. Exoskeletons for Musculoskeletal Relief Despite increasing automation,

Roughly one in three workers in Singapore report burnout—among the highest rates worldwide. Burnout and chronic fatigue impose significant economic burdens and create serious risks in jobs that require constant alertness. However, current methods for diagnosing fatigue and related mental health issues rely mainly on self-reported questionnaires, which are subjective, sporadic, and not well suited

When you press your fingertip against a hard surface and it turns white, that effect can now be used by scientists to create augmented reality (AR) touch panels on real-world surfaces like walls and desks. To begin with, there are already ways to project touch panels and keyboards so they appear to float in front
Fingertip blanching enabled virtual touch interfaces on walls Read More »
On Tuesday, CERN scientists achieved a groundbreaking milestone by transporting antiprotons via road, successfully testing the world’s first antimatter delivery system, with the goal of eventually supplying research labs across Europe. “The particles came back safely… so it was a success,” CERN physicist Stefan Ulmer said after the large truck completed a 10-kilometre loop around

NASA is opening a new chapter in space exploration with the launch of the Artemis II mission, set for this Wednesday, April 1, at 7:24 PM (Brasília time). The mission will mark the first time in more than 50 years that astronauts journey to the Moon aboard a spacecraft specifically built for that purpose. The

Unlike rigid electronics, living systems are soft and flexible. MIT engineers developed a biocompatible, flexible gel whose light-controlled conductivity could advance human-machine interfaces and soft robotics. Welcome to the emerging field of ionotronics, which transmits information using ions—charged molecules—much like electronics relies on electrons. While electronic systems are established, ionotronics is still emerging—except in living
Engineers developed a light-activated gel that boosts ion conductivity 40o TIMES Read More »
