(Natural News) The use of electroencephalogram (EEG) technology has long been in use in most hospitals and clinics all over the world and, historically, its use has been mostly limited to that environment. Until now, that is. At the recently wrapped up Consumer Electronics Show expo in Las Vegas, Nevada, a Belgian technology center called Imec […]

(Natural News) The amount of electronic data we generate every year is quickly outstripping the capacity of the latest storage systems. The U.S. intelligence community wants a new storage material that can accomodate all that data. In an article on Live Science, they are looking into a rather concerning source that is known to store dense […]

(Natural News) America’s infrastructure has seen better days. The American Society of Civil Engineers scored the country a near-failing D+ in its 2017 Infrastructure Report Card. D’s and C’s were given across the board, with the railway system being the only category to have scored a B. Those grades could be changing for the better […]

(Natural News) If cities are forced to recycle water, they’ll need to find a way to filter out pharmaceuticals – such as the widely used anxiety drug Diazepam – from wastewater. So, South African researchers have developed titanium dioxide nanofibers that can remove drugs from water, reported ScienceDaily. The fibers are the brainchild of a […]

(Natural News) In the near future, contact lens might become self-powered wearable tools that can diagnose your health based on your tears. That is because U.K. researchers have found a way to print nanostructure “holograms” on their surface that turns the lenses into “smart” electronics, an article from Nano Werks states. Human tears contain biomarkers that […]

(Natural News) American and Korean researchers have given robots yet another sense once restricted to living organisms: the sense of touch. An article in Science Daily stated that the researchers developed artificial sensory nerves that work like the real thing. When attached to a cockroach’s leg, the artificial nerves can trigger the twitch reflex. The […]

(Natural News) A European study revealed that mobile health apps were sending health-related data to third-party companies, harming the privacy of its users. This study was conducted by a team of researchers from the University of Pireus in Greece and Rovira I Virgili University in Spain. The research team analyzed 20 well-known, free mobile health […]

(Natural News) What makes a muscle able to carry over 12,000 times its own weight? Carbon fiber and silicone, according to research published in the journal Smart Materials and Structures. The artificial muscle, the creation of researchers from the University of Illinois, is made from siloxane rubber reinforced with carbon fiber. It is capable of […]

(Natural News) If the thought of sifting through tons of online messages makes your skin crawl, Facebook’s latest project, once it launches, will soon turn that feeling into reality – literally. The social media giant calls it the transcutaneous language communication (TLC) system, which works by transmitting either spoken or written language to a user’s arm. The […]

(Natural News) American researchers presented the very first swimming robots that do not need motors, servos, or a supply of power for propulsion. In a Science Daily article, the soft robots are made of responsive materials that change their shape whenever the temperature shifts. The regular deforming and reforming of their materials allow the robots […]
