A compact device capable of projecting images and video directly onto the retina of a human eye has been developed by researchers from the University of Fukui. The Fukui team created the device by integrating a laser module capable of outputting red, green and blue lasers with a microelectromechanical (MEMS) mirror. The direction in which … Read more
A wearable electronic device that can stretch and adhere to human skin has been developed by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder. The device is able to heal itself, much like real skin, and can perform a range of sensory tasks, from measuring the body temperature of users to tracking their daily step counts. … Read more
Scientists have 3D-printed synthetic, soft surfaces with tongue-like textures that could be used to test the oral processing properties of food, nutritional technologies, pharmaceutics and dry mouth therapies. The highly sophisticated surface design of a human tongue has been replicated with a synthetic silicone structure that mimics the topology, elasticity and wettability of the tongue’s … Read more
