Researchers in South Korea developed a wireless sign language system using seven smart rings on the fingers. It translates ASL and ISL in real time with about 88% accuracy, without gloves, wires, or user calibration. The technology aims to bridge a major communication gap affecting millions worldwide. The World Federation of the Deaf estimates that […]

Engineers have spent years exploring alternatives to the traditional computer mouse, creating designs that are pen-shaped, flat, and even ring-shaped. Just when mouse designs seemed exhausted, UK startup NextAxis Design introduced an egg-shaped mouse called Ovo on Kickstarter. Ovo weighs 98 grams (3.5 oz) and measures 48 × 61 mm (1.9 × 2.4 inches). Designed
This egg-shaped mouse is the newest design aimed at reducing wrist strain Read More »
Paterna Biosciences, a startup based in Utah, says it has developed functional human sperm in a laboratory and used it to create healthy-looking embryos. The company believes the method could one day allow some infertile men to have biological children. The research has not yet been peer-reviewed or independently confirmed, though WIRED was the first

A new method uses controlled electrical discharges to convert a plentiful gas into a much more valuable substance. It operates under relatively mild conditions and could reshape fuel production. Major industrial shifts don’t always come from large-scale machinery; sometimes they start with unconventional ideas. For years, turning certain gases into usable fuels required extreme heat,
The mini lightning experiment could transform the fuel industry Read More »
A team led by Theo Hughes-Riley at Nottingham Trent University has created a vibrating smart pillow sleeve prototype to alert deaf users to fire and burglar alarms. This is not the first alert technology for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. The new device replaces older, bulky technologies that users had to place

Fire is one of the most serious concerns for upcoming crewed space missions. Scientists from NASA Glenn Research Center, Johnson Space Center, and Case Western Reserve University have outlined an experiment to study how materials burn on the Moon, where fire is expected to behave differently than on Earth. On Earth, gravity makes hot gases
