| New-generation 'thinking' biomimetic robots developed as ocean engineering solutions Posted: 23 Dec 2014 05:41 AM PST Researchers are closer to creating underwater robotic creatures with a brain of their own -- besides behaving like the real thing. In the near future, it would not be too tall an order for the team to produce a swarm of autonomous tiny robotic sea turtles and fishes for example, to perform hazardous missions such as detecting nuclear wastes underwater or other tasks too dangerous for humans. |
| Posted: 22 Dec 2014 02:03 PM PST To examine internal organs, doctors often use a tube with light and a tiny camera attached to it. The device, called an endoscope, helps detect cancer and other illnesses. It may soon serve another purpose: zapping tumors. The biomedical advancement, which is under development, could make chemotherapy more efficient, reduce its side effects and improve how doctors treat some of the most deadly forms of cancer. |
| Hands on: Crafting ultrathin color coatings Posted: 22 Dec 2014 01:55 PM PST An ultra-thin layer of a metal and a semiconductor could be applied to essentially any rough or flexible material to produce a vividly colored coating, researchers report. The technique, which exploits optical interference effects, could potentially be used on wearable fabrics or stretchable electronics. |
