While clay is widely used to build basic structures such as huts, we typically don't see it being utilized in large-scale construction projects. That could soon change, however, thanks to a recently developed process known as impact printing.Continue ReadingCategory: Good Thinking, LifestyleTags: ETH Zurich, Building and Construction, Materials, Sustainable
A new wheeled robot is able to climb metal structures in a very clever and unique way – it uses an extendible tape-measure limb. Descendants of the bot may one day find use inspecting or even repairing things like towers, bridges, power stations and ships.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, TechnologyTags: UCLA, Climbing, Magnetic
A new technique, which involves melting bacterial DNA found in blood samples, could deliver diagnoses of potentially fatal infections faster than ever before. Results may be obtained in a few hours, instead of days.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Bacteria, Blood, Diagnosis, UC San Diego, Infections, DNA, Microfluidic
The Expandy is a single piece of furniture that can be expanded width-wise to serve three purposes. Simply by pulling on it from one end, users are able to convert it from an armchair to a loveseat to a sofa.Continue ReadingCategory: Around The Home, LifestyleTags: Sofas, Chair, Seat, Transformable, Furniture
Stanford and Google DeepMind researchers have presented an open-source housekeeping robot, and trained it relatively quickly to sauté shrimp, rinse out pans, put pots away in a kitchen cabinet, and clean up wine spills – but it has greater ambitions.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, TechnologyTags: Stanford University, Google, Google DeepMind, Robotics, Robots, Cleaning, Autonomous
Dynabeads are commercially available microscopic magnetic spheres which scientists use to isolate certain types of cells and proteins. Now, MIT researchers are developing a method of using the beads to quickly spot pathogens in drinking water or blood samples.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: MIT, Viruses and Bacteria, Diagnostic devices, Nanoparticles
As more and more bacteria develop resistance to the drugs designed to kill them, a new study has found that even a relatively new antibiotic isn’t immune. Researchers have uncovered a gene amplification mechanism that causes bacteria to become increasingly resistant to the drug albicidin.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, Antibiotic, Infections, Freie U
If the bacteria with which someone is infected are antibiotic-resistant, physicians need to know so as soon as possible, so they can take the appropriate action. A simple new system could help, by detecting such resistance in just two hours as opposed to the usual 24.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: EPFL, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, Microscopes, Detection
Scientists have created “acoustic holograms” that can assemble matter into 3D objects, using just sound. The technique works with various types of particles and even living cells, allowing for a new kind of 3D printing that’s fast and contact-free.Continue ReadingCategory: 3D Printing, TechnologyTags: Sound, Acoustics, Holographic, 3D, 3D Printing, molding, Max Planck Institute, Heidelberg Univer
