Pill That Takes Snapshots Of Your Intestines

Posted on 12 June 2008

Endoscopy is already known as a nightmare for most people, and it was about time that technology did something about it. German scientists from the Fraunhofer-Institut für Biomedizinische Technik have announced that images of your intestines can now be taken in a more pleasurable manner, and all the patient has to do is to swallow […]

Robotic Hand That Can Sense Objects Before Touching Them

Posted on 12 June 2008

Researchers from Intel have designed a robotic hand which can sense the shape of an object before it interacts with it. The robotic hand is based on electrolocation which means that the tips of the fingers are sending an electrical signal to the objects that will interfere with, and the hand will recognize the object […]

Small Planet To Be Build By A Scientist To Test The Magnetic Field

Posted on 11 June 2008

We all know what a compass is, but ever since it was discovered we don’t know why the magnetic field keeps the needle of the compass to point north. Scientists came up with many ideas, but none of them were satisfying. Now, a geophysicist named Dan Lathrop has build his own planet that will create […]

The Flexible Tactile Display To Be Worn On Finger

Posted on 10 June 2008

Researchers from the Sungkyunkwan University in Korea, along with the University of Nevada, US, have developed a flexible tactile display that could be used as a Braille display, for visually impaired people.
The device wraps around the finger link a band-aid and can make them feel the images that would normally appear on the display. The […]

Silicon Chip Filters Out Cancer Cells

Posted on 09 June 2008

Professors from Princeton worked in collaboration with their friends at the Boston University from Massachusetts to develop a new device that focuses streams of cells in a liquid, and even separate them according to their size.
The discovery can be used to sort out cells from the blood flow that look suspicious, and that could be […]

Depression Could Be Treated With Brain Implants

Posted on 08 June 2008

Depression affects many people around the world and researchers are trying to find out new ways of fighting against. Humans are treating depression with drugs and therapy but this is not satisfying enough. An interesting technique to cure depression is to use brain “pacemakers” which regulate the brain activity.
Brain pacemakers are based on electrodes that […]

Music And Mathematics Are Related

Posted on 21 April 2008

For many centuries many scientists or musicians tried to find connections between music and mathematics, but they didn’t find any precise proof. Now, with the help of a breakthrough that Prof Dmitri Tymoczko from the Princeton University, discovered a couple of years ago, we know that there is a strong link between them.
Alongside Clifton Callender […]
