A team of researchers from Yahoo Labs have created a new technology called ‘Bodyprint’ that turns your smartphone’s touchscreen display into a biometric scanner.
MIT researchers have developed a technique to “see” the vibrations invisible to the naked eye, combining high-speed video with computer vision techniques.
Earth Day is an annual event to honor the earth, celebrated on April 22 in more than 192 countries each year. Many societies also observe Earth Week or Earth Month, throughout the month of April.
People who want to control a smartphone application while their eyes need to be focused elsewhere, for instance, might be less distracted by a tangible knob or button made possible with Acoustruments than with trying to glance at a touchscreen. Applications that use smartphones as virtual reality displays make it impossible to use the touchscreen controls at all; Acoustruments enable users to make adjustments without disrupting the virtual reality experience.
Sony announced a new flagship smartphone, Xperia Z4, but only in Japan. It is about 6.9 millimeters thick and weighs 144 grams according to the press release.
Researchers at the MIT Media Laboratory are developing a prototype of a new wearable device NailO that turns the user’s thumbnail into a miniature wireless track pad.
The new device, equipped with extremely sensitive sensors, has been tested on patients and operates with a computer or even a mobile phone. It's an innovative tool for the early diagnosis of tumours.
University of Missouri researcher understands how nanotube forests are created, leads to advancements in aerospace, mechanical and biomedical applications
A team of Virginia Tech researchers discovered a way to create hydrogen fuel using a biological method that greatly reduces the time and money it takes to produce the zero-emissions fuel. This method uses abundantly available corn stover – the stalks, cobs, and husks – to produce the hydrogen. Arrival of the hydrogen-powered vehicles in a way that is inexpensive and has extremely low carbon emissions.
This study will facilitate new applications across a broad array of fields such as soft robotics, conformable electronics, wireless communications, micro/nanofluidics, wearable/implantable devices, and energy storage and transport systems.
Researchers from MIT, Penn State University and Carnegie Mellon University is developing a novel way to isolate cancer cells from blood cells using sound waves.
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis were able to see blood flow, blood oxygenation, oxygen metabolism and other functions inside a living mouse brain at faster rates than ever before using a new high-speed, high-resolution imaging method.
