Sniffing out bad bacteria: Researchers have developed an “electronic nose” device that can detect infection-causing bacteria

A study published in the European Surgical Research revealed that a proof-of-concept portable device known as the electronic nose (eNose) showed efficacy in detecting harmful bacteria that lead to soft tissue infections even without prior preparation of tissue samples. The research team from the University of Tampere, Pirkanmaa Hospital District, Tampere University of Technology and Fimlab in Finland also […]

Pop-up, origami-style skyscrapers may be the buildings of the future

Immediate help and relief actions are needed whenever natural disasters happen. However, due to infrastructure damages, sending aid to affected areas can be challenging. This particular issue was addressed by this year’s eVolo Skyscraper competition winner for a future buildings concept – an origami-style pop-up skyscraper which can be transported easily from place to place. Called the […]

MIT researchers unveil better approach to rechargeable batteries that could lead to inexpensive power storage

Battery technology is continuously being improved every day, but most of the innovation that you end up seeing pretty much daily are related to mobile devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones. However, those aren’t the only things that require batteries. Sometimes, batteries are used in places where the overall cost of materials matters much […]

New sensor helps prevent skin cancer by changing color when you’ve had too much sun, fits on a thumbnail

Heliophiles are in for a treat. UV Sense, a recently launched sensor, can alert users when they’ve had too much exposure. UV Sense is a battery-free device that can fit on a thumbnail, and it was designed to detect radiation from the sun. The sensor can change color to indicate the radiation levels of the user. […]

3D printers can now create objects in all the colors of the rainbow

One of the most energy-efficient 3D printing techniques has received a long-needed upgrade. Spanish researchers have come up with a new photosensitizer that allows selective laser sintering (SLS) printers to directly print vivid colors onto their products. 3D printing technology has come a long way since it was invented in the 1980s. It is now […]

New elastic “skin-tech” wearable display may revolutionize home healthcare

Home healthcare is a booming industry – thanks, in part, to the elderly population’s steadily growing numbers. And to keep up, new technologies are being developed to make self-care more accessible and easier to understand. For those who want to take care of themselves in the comfort of their own home in the years to […]

LED stool lights up to warn slouches, help prevent back pain

The solution to agonizing back pain might be as simple as a light-emitting diode (LED) on a chair. In an article on The Daily Mail, German researchers unveiled a smart stool that warns its user about incorrect seating posture. A pair of sensors allows the stool to keep track of the user’s posture. This sensor system […]

Physicists demonstrate a way to conduct electricity between transistors without energy loss

Chinese researchers have created a new superconductor, a material that can transport electrical energy between transistors with such efficiency that there is no energy lost during the transfer. In an article in Science Daily, their discovery can lead to the development of electronics that can run on very little power and quantum computers whose speeds […]

Innovative technology will allow dementia patients to live independently in their own homes

U.K. researchers have developed artificial intelligence (AI) technology that will reportedly allow patients with dementia to move out of their residential care facilities and back to their own homes. The AI will keep an all-seeing electronic eye on the well-being of the patient using the Internet of Things, an article on Science Daily stated. The […]

Scientists develop an extremely small and sensitive chip that can detect you by your smell

Following a disaster such as an earthquake, search-and-rescue (SAR) dogs are often brought in to locate people trapped beneath the rubble. Their life-saving efforts may soon be supported by a new detection device that can sniff out the scent of humans just as keenly as dogs can, an article in Science Daily states. Developed by […]
