Edible Battery for Life Science
Christopher Bettinger and his research team at Carnegie Mellon University have recently created a device that the way we diagnose or treat diseases in the future. The device is merely a battery, but what makes it special is the fact it can be safely ingested by a patient, to power or control internal medical devices. […]
Portable Water Turbine Charges Electronics
In the wilderness, there are few methods of charging electronics without access to gas generators or power outlets. The most common solution is to purchase a solar power battery pack, although it is not as efficiently under trees, or at night. In order to provide a more productive and effective power source, a startup company […]
Circuit Marker Draws Lines That Conduct Electricity
AgIC, a startup company based in Tokyo, has recently created a marker able to bring drawings to life using technology. The device, called the Circuit Marker, contains a special conductive ink which allows electricity to follow the path the user draws on paper, connecting power between circuits. The device can be used for a variety […]

These robots ensure human error is eliminated from the process and offer a safer alternative to manual labor. Appropriate Audiences, a company which specializes in robotics and tattoo’s, has recently created a […]
Microscopic Sensor Tracks Nerve & Muscle Signals
Medical monitoring devices are becoming more popular due to real-time tracking of internal data for things like heart rate, sleep and steps. Currently the most common monitors come as wearables, such as a watch or sticker, which attach to a person’s skin to receive data from their bodies. Though effective, these wearables are primarily used […]
