Researchers at Georgia Tech have developed a prosthetic hand inspired by the bionic one given to Star Wars' Luke Skywalker. What sets this one apart from other prosthetics is the amount of dexterity it offers, allowing users to move individual finger...
Know any first-time parents who made an Instagram account just for their newborn baby?! Well, don’t be surprised if you start seeing fetus accounts next! The Smart Baby Camera lets impatient parents get a sneak peak as their baby grows and record photo and video to save and share.
From the comfort of home, this portable echograph system is intuitive and safe to use safely without professional assistance. It pairs wirelessly with the user’s smartphone to feed live images and audio. As for ergonomics, it is held in such a way that mimics the natural open palm position mothers use when touching their tummy. Just slab some jelly on the belly and ultrasound away! It uses 4D ultrasonic technology to get a complete perspective of the baby’s size, shape and distinct features. This way, you’ll get the right Insta-angle and pose each time!
Minimally invasive surgeries are appealing because they typically mean less scar tissue, shorter recovery times and a lower risk of infection. But they have their downsides as well. Getting a good look at the tissue being targeted during a minimally...
There have been rumours of Apple exploring under-display fingerprint scanning technology, but you probably didn't expect the first of such demos to come from China. At MWC Shanghai, Qualcomm announced its latest ultrasonic fingerprint solution, with...
If you ever wanted to whisper across a crowded room, a new experimental device might let you deliver sneaky instructions -- if the awkward speaker and electrodes don't tip everyone off. Researchers at the University of Bristol built a wearable that t...
New research has helped scientists develop a new technique to use sound to see deep inside the live cells. The technique can help a lot in diagnosing cancer according to researchers from The...
We're getting better at predicting when a patient might come out of a coma, but helping them recover is another matter. Even after a patient wakes up, the effects of being in a persistent unconscious state can result in severe brain injury. Recovery...
Scientists have long dreamed of using acoustic levitation to float objects, but there has been one big catch: you couldn't lift an object larger than the wavelength without being picky about what you're lifting. However, it might not be a problem go...
Turtle Beach's HyperSound Glass is one of the most impressive tech demos I've seen in years.
The broad pitch used to sell the concept is pretty easy to grasp. With traditional speakers, sound travels out like light from a lamp: It's directed, for su...
Current medical implants use radio waves to talk to receivers outside the human body at a paltry 50Kb per second. Fortunately, there's a faster way! And we already use it to check on babies (and pumping hearts) in real-time: ultrasound. Researchers a...
