Tiny Brain Sensor that Fits Between Hair Strands and Lets You Use Tech Hands-Free Researchers at Georgia Tech have come up with a small and flexible brain sensor that can sit just under the skin, between our hair follicles. It is designed to be comfortable enough to wear all day and does not need any wires or gel to work. These sensors are part of what’s called Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology. This new sensor uses tiny microneedles to get a better reading… |

Hologram Screen That Lets You Grab and Move Virtual 3D Objects We have all thought about what it would be like to touch and play with holograms, just like in sci-fi movies. Now, a group of researchers at UPNA has found a way to make that dream come true. It's called an interactive volumetric display, and it lets you reach out and move virtual objects with your hands, just like in real life. Unlike existing volumetric displays, this system lets… |

Starfish-Inspired AI Heart Monitor Tracks Your Heart with 90% Accuracy Researchers at the University of Missouri have created a new heart monitor that sticks to the body with five arms, just like how a starfish holds onto things with its legs. The team, led by Sicheng Chen and Zheng Yan, designed this wearable heart monitor that is shaped like a starfish. Each of the five arms of the device has built-in sensors that pick up both the electrical and… |

Tiny Self-Dissolving Pacemaker Powered by Galvanic Cell Researchers at Northwestern University have developed an ultra-small, dissolvable pacemaker that can be injected into the body and controlled wirelessly. This tiny pacemaker is a much-needed upgrade for newborns with heart conditions, offering a solution that’s small enough to fit their tiny bodies. One of its biggest advantages is that it dissolves on its own once it’s no longer needed,… |

AI based Brain-Computer Interface Turns Thoughts into Speech in Real Time Researchers at UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco are making a huge breakthrough in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) with their latest brain-to-voice neuroprosthesis. They’re working on restoring speech for people with severe paralysis by turning brain signals into real-time, natural-sounding speech. One big challenge they had to tackle was cutting down the delay time between… |

This Bug-Sized Wireless Flying Robot can Hover, Survive Collisions, and Adjust Its Route Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a tiny flying robot inspired by flying insects. It is less than 1 centimeter in size with only two tiny magnets and weighs only 21 milligrams, making it the smallest flying robot that can be controlled without wires. Unlike normal drones that need batteries and sensors, this robot moves using an external magnetic field. Though… |

Meet PAWS: The Robot Dog That Runs Without Motors Imagine a robot that can run like a dog without using motors. A team of researchers from TU Delft and EPFL has created a motor-free quadruped robot that mimics a dog’s running motion. Instead of depending on heavy, powered motors, this robot moves using springs, cables, and passive mechanics, making it much more energy-efficient. Ph.D. scholar Francesco Stella, master’s student Mickael… |

AI-Powered Smart Waste Sorting with VGG16, CSO and Random Forest Algorithm Sorting waste into the right categories, like plastic, glass, metal, or paper, is not as simple as it sounds. To make this tiresome job easier, researchers have developed a smart waste classification system that uses artificial intelligence to recognize different types of trash, making waste management easier and more efficient. A team of researchers from the Ronin Institute (USA), Asia… |

This One-Legged Robot Jumps Like a Squirrel Squirrels are incredible at jumping and balancing, effortlessly landing on the narrowest of branches. Squirrel’s that level of control is pretty impressive, and researchers wanted to see if they could teach a robot to do the same. That's how researchers came up with Salto. Salto is a small, one-legged robot developed by a team of biologists and engineers at UC Berkeley. This robot… |

Espressif Shuts Down “Backdoor” Hysteria: ESP32 Debugging Feature Misrepresented as Security Threat A recent controversy has emerged around Espressif’s ESP32 microcontroller, following the discovery of undocumented Bluetooth HCI commands by security researchers at Tarlogic Security. Initially described as a "backdoor," this characterisation sparked significant debate and was later revised to acknowledge these commands as debugging features rather than a deliberate security vulnerability. The… |
