| Robot mimics the powerful punch of the mantis shrimp Posted: 25 Aug 2021 12:37 PM PDT Mantis shrimp pack the strongest punch of any creature in the animal kingdom. How mantis shrimp produce these deadly, ultra-fast movements has long fascinated biologists. Now, an interdisciplinary team of roboticists, engineers and biologists have modeled the mechanics of the mantis shrimp's punch and built a robot that mimics the movement. The research sheds light on the biology of these pugnacious crustaceans and paves the way for small but mighty robotic devices. |
| A game changer: Virtual reality reduces pain and anxiety in children Posted: 25 Aug 2021 11:30 AM PDT Randomized clinical trial shows that engaging in virtual reality can significantly reduce pain and anxiety in children undergoing intravenous catheter placement. |
| Baby detector software embedded in digital camera rivals ECG Posted: 25 Aug 2021 08:36 AM PDT Facial recognition is now common in adults, but researchers have developed software that can reliably detect a premature baby's face in an incubator and remotely monitor its heart and breathing rates - rivaling ECG machines and even outperforming them. This is the first step in using non-contact monitoring in neonatal wards, avoiding skin tearing and potential infections from adhesive pads. |
| Creation of the most perfect graphene Posted: 25 Aug 2021 08:36 AM PDT Researchers have achieved growth and characterization of large area, single-crystal graphene that has no wrinkles, folds, or adlayers. It can be said to be the most perfect graphene that has been grown and characterized, to date. |
| 'Nanopore-tal' enables cells to talk to computers Posted: 25 Aug 2021 07:14 AM PDT Researchers have introduced a new class of reporter proteins that can be directly read by a commercially available nanopore sensing device. |
| Using your smartwatch to reduce stress Posted: 24 Aug 2021 02:44 PM PDT An engineering researcher has modified a smartwatch to reduce stress. The new technology monitors sweat to infer brain stress and, when detected, sends a message through the smartwatch to calm down. |
