Engineers are developing a fluorescent microscope that doesn’t use lenses and captures 3D data

Microscopes are essential tools in various fields of science, but much like other forms of technology, scientists have decided that the bulky microscope should have a portable – tiny even – version, to make it possible to use it to image many of the areas deep inside the body. Traditional fluorescent microscopes are important tools […]

New bizarre ChameleonMask device allows you to send someone to an event in your place – wearing your face

When science fiction stories of the past first brought up the idea of being able to “upload” your consciousness into a separate, fully remote body, they usually meant something a little less organic than the human body. However, one Japanese firm has gone ahead with the rather bizarre idea of letting people use other actual […]
