This sensor can pick up your voice using just skin vibrations – for spying, perhaps?

A new sensor has been invented that can pick up your voice using just skin vibrations. Professor Kilwon Cho of Chemical Engineering and Professor Yoonyoung Chung of Electronic and Electric Engineering from POSTECH have created an advanced sensor that can detect a voice by picking up on your skin vibrations. The ultra thin sensor is […]

What could go wrong? These lab-grown “mini-brains” can’t think, but scientists say “cerebral organoids” can be used to study human brain function

Researchers from Kyoto University in Japan have developed functioning cerebral organoids. These mini-brains were artificially-grown from stem cells. These 3D tissue cultures are the first of their kind to contain functional neural networks. These cerebral organoids do not have sensory input and cannot “think” on their own; however, according to Japanese researchers, these artificial brains […]

World’s first hybrid expedition cruise ship sets sail for the Arctic: The Roald Amundsen is powered by marine gas oil and BATTERIES

Anyone who has ever operated a vehicle in the cold winter months of the North has had to deal with a dead battery. Who wouldn’t want to hop aboard a cruise ship, partially dependent on batteries, and set sail for the Arctic? The world’s first hybrid expedition cruise ship is scheduled to sail the Northwest […]

What could go wrong? NASA funds research on an all-electric airliner in a virtue-signaling move to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

The world’s very first electric-powered airliner is currently in development. The futuristic jet would emit zero greenhouse gas emissions directly. Instead of burning up fuel, the jet would convert the chemical energy stored inside liquid hydrogen cells into electric power. The electric power generated by the liquid hydrogen would be depended upon to keep the […]

French researcher develops TCAPS-based shooter location tech to help soldiers identify enemy snipers in less than a second

A French researcher has developed new audio tech that could effectively deter enemy snipers operating stealthily on the battlefield. Dr Sébastien Hengy at the French-German Research Institute of Saint-Louis developed shooter location tech that can be incorporated into the helmets of soldiers. The tech is incorporated into the microphone and earmuffs of a soldier’s Tactical […]

Automated unloaders can work “as fast as people” – are robots now poised to take over the workforce?

Competition drives innovation, but monopolies manifest the need for robotic automation, leaving people and their jobs behind. Taking advantage of the eCommerce boom, Amazon.com has become a monopolistic force, exerting the greatest leverage over the shipping sector of the U.S. economy. Now shipping 48 percent of its own packages in 2019, Amazon is saving billions […]

Stunning new material invented in Turkey: “Metallic wood” is 5 times stronger than titanium, but lighter

Turkish inventors have created a new building material that is five times stronger than titanium and has the density of wood planks. Most remarkably, this new “Metallic wood” is lighter than titanium and still has the chemical stability of metal for use in manufacturing applications. The new material is made out of nickel-based cellular materials […]

“Expert” recommends AUTOMATED FASCISM: Says humans should relinquish control to robots

Simon Watson, a lecturer in Robotic Systems at the University of Manchester makes a compelling case for humans to give up their inhibitions, relinquish their “illusions” of control, and trust robots with what they are designed to do. He says people are already under the “illusion” that they are in control, and although he may be right to […]

U.S. Military will deploy self-driving vehicles ahead of general public

The Pentagon has plans to get autonomous machines on the battlefield, long before the self driving vehicles take over America’s roadways. In a statement to lawmakers on Capitol Hill, the undersecretary of defense for research and engineering, Michael Griffin said, “We’re going to have self-driving vehicles in theater for the Army before we’ll have self-driving […]

New giant drones are strong enough to perform jobs such as cleaning wind turbines, fighting fires and even carrying people to safety

Some of the dirtiest, most dangerous jobs are being taken over by artificial intelligence, robots, and drones. Machines are slowly becoming man’s best friend, helping us do tough, risky, or menial tasks. Future drones will do more than just peruse the skies, surveying and filming. New innovations in drone technology show their potential to take on much larger tasks that […]
