Student Builds Touchless Hand-Gesture Interface for Sterile Surgical Control A biomedical engineering student, Sudarshan VasanthaKumar, has developed a vision-based, touchless gesture interface designed for use in sterile medical environments. The system allows surgeons to rotate, zoom, and inspect 3D medical models without touching a mouse, keyboard, or screen, addressing a challenge in operating rooms where sterility is critical. The project, called Bio-Vision… |

World’s Smallest Programmable Micro-Robots Open a New Frontier in Robotics Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan have unveiled the world’s smallest fully programmable autonomous robots. Measuring just 0.2 × 0.3 × 0.05 mm, these microscopic swimming robots are barely visible to the naked eye yet can independently sense their environment, process information, and perform programmed tasks. Each robot integrates sensing,… |

Google's AI Tool Called Co-Scientist Solves Decade-Long Superbug Mystery in 48 Hours Researchers at Imperial College London have long been investigating the mechanisms behind antibiotic resistance in superbugs. Led by Professor José R. Penadés, the team developed a unique hypothesis that superbugs form a viral tail to aid their movement between species. In a recent breakthrough, Google’s AI tool, known as Co-Scientist and built on the Gemini 2.0… |

Next Generation Brain Implant Based on Graphene Brain implants have been here for a very long time. Doctors and researchers even use them for treatments for neurological issues like Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease and even for behaviour corrections using selective simulations. However, the problem with existing implants is that they use meal electrodes, which result in Faradaic reactions, where the electrode reacts with bodily fluids… |

Bionic Eye “There is no better way to thank God for your sight than by lending a helping hand to those in dark” We are living a life with full of colors and pictures we daily see, a life without sight is dark. And blind people are alive with the dark lives. It’s not like just helping a blind person to cross the road we have to do something more for them as a… |
