Elephant robot demonstrates bioinspired 3D printing technology
A cheetah’s powerful sprint, a snake’s lithe slither, or a human’s deft grasp: Each is made possible by the seamless interplay between soft and rigid tissues. Muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones work together to provide the energy, precision, and range of motion needed to perform the complex movements seen throughout the animal kingdom.
“Not a Single Mistake”: World’s First Autonomous Surgical Robot Completes Complex Procedure With 100% Accuracy and Zero Human Intervention
IN A NUTSHELL 🤖 The SRT-H robot, developed at Johns Hopkins University, performed a successful gallbladder surgery with human-like precision. 📚 Trained on surgical videos, the robot can learn and adapt in real-time, enhancing its ability to handle complex procedures. 🛠️ Equipped with machine learning technology similar to ChatGPT, SRT-H responds to voice commands and
Solid polymer could power safer EVs, drones, and space probes
Researchers at Florida State University have created new polymer blends that could make batteries safer and longer-lasting.
Scientists achieve first experimental observation of the transverse Thomson effect
In a new Nature Physics paper, researchers report the first experimental observation of the transverse Thomson effect, a key thermoelectric phenomenon that has eluded scientists since it was predicted over a century ago.
For over a century, thermoelectric effects have formed the foundation of how physicists understand the link between heat and electricity. Our knowledge of how heat and electricity interact within materials is rooted in the Seebeck, Peltier, and Thomson effects, all identified during the 1800s.
The Thomson effect causes volumetric heating or cooling when an electric current and a temperature gradient flow in the same direction through a conductor.
Elon Musk’s Neuralink microchip implanted into patient’s brain at University of Miami
Dr. Jagid and his team executed the implant on RJ just months ago.
“This device is completely invisible, you know, to anybody else that interacts with somebody who has it implanted. The other thing that makes it very unique is how it’s been miniaturized. It’s a very small device,” Dr. Jagid said.
During Neuralink’s summer update on the trial, they showed the moment one participant was able to move a cursor with his thoughts.
