Inspired by the chameleon, scientists develop a laser that changes colors
What might be so special about a very small laser that can change the color of the light it emits? Well, Illinois-based researchers based their new nanolaser on the natural ability of the chameleon to alter the coloration of its skin at the nano-scale level, an article on News Wise stated. The chameleon is best […]

Engineers create a type of e-skin that restores the sense of touch for amputees using prosthetics
Amputees may soon be able to find relief from the phantom limb sensation that haunts them, stated an article in Science Daily. American researchers have created an electronic skin for prosthetic hands that can return a sense of touch to the user. Developed by engineers at the Johns Hopkins University (JHU), the e-skin is a layer […]

This new cloaking material renders objects — and people — practically invisible
What do you think of a thin sheet that can trap almost all of the infrared light that hits it? Well, how about draping the sheet on things that need to be hidden from the heat-hunting electronic eyes of aerial drones? Wisconsin-based researchers reported creating a new material that can turn objects and people invisible […]

Computer scientists develop software that can look a few minutes into the future
An article in Alpha Galileo reported a development straight out of the Tom Cruise sci-fi movie Minority Report. German computer experts have created artificial intelligence that can predict what a person is going to do in a few minutes. The software program is trained by watching videos that depict the step-by-step process of an action. […]

Trained bees successfully locate landmines in Croatia
The ongoing effort to detect and disarm forgotten explosives in battlefields around the world has received a new tool. Scottish researchers successfully got honeybees to sniff out old landmines in Croatia, an article on the Daily Express reported. The bees were trained to associate the smell of explosives with food. When they detected a landmine, […]
