While a number of groups are developing thought-controlled prosthetic hands, most of the devices require electrodes or other relatively fiddly electronics to be implanted in the amputee's body. Such is not the case with a new system, however, which works with tiny inert implanted magnets.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Prosthesis, Thought-control, Hand

Researchers travel back in time for a cheaper hydrogen storage solution
Posted by ArielTechGeek 13 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
While hydrogen's high energy per mass makes it an excellent fuel, it's awfully hard and expensive to store long-term. That could change, thanks to the work of researchers at Switzerland's ETH Zurich. They've worked out a way to store hydrogen in ordinary steel-walled containers for months without losing it into the atmosphere – using iron.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Hydrogen, G
