Endoscopy is already known as a nightmare for most people, and it was about time that technology did something about it. German scientists from the Fraunhofer-Institut für Biomedizinische Technik have announced that images of your intestines can now be taken in a more pleasurable manner, and all the patient has to do is to swallow […]

Researchers from the Sungkyunkwan University in Korea, along with the University of Nevada, US, have developed a flexible tactile display that could be used as a Braille display, for visually impaired people.
The device wraps around the finger link a band-aid and can make them feel the images that would normally appear on the display. The […]

Professors from Princeton worked in collaboration with their friends at the Boston University from Massachusetts to develop a new device that focuses streams of cells in a liquid, and even separate them according to their size.
The discovery can be used to sort out cells from the blood flow that look suspicious, and that could be […]

Depression affects many people around the world and researchers are trying to find out new ways of fighting against. Humans are treating depression with drugs and therapy but this is not satisfying enough. An interesting technique to cure depression is to use brain “pacemakers” which regulate the brain activity.
Brain pacemakers are based on electrodes that […]

Inspired by the US government’s huge investments in the severed fingers regrowing with pig powder field, designer Tim Hawkinson created this finger to terrify the Ace Gallery visitors.

Researchers play an important part in improving our current technology, actually they are the most important because they come up with ideas that could help us. A domain that many of them focus is medicine and a disease that they are looking to cure is blindness and a recent report shows that blind people could […]

Robotic surgeons are getting more and more precise and a few days ago, Calgary doctors managed to remove a brain tumor from a 21 year old woman using a two-handed robot called NeuroArm. The operation took about nine-hours and it’s the first time that a robot made a surgery like this and hopefully, there will […]

Nanotechnology is definitely one of the most important branch of technology and nanoscaled components and other parts have proven to be very efficient and helpful. Using nanotechnology, researchers from the UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara and MIT have created “nanoworms” which can circulate freely through bloodstream without interefering with the immune system.
These nanoworms are […]

Researchers from the University of Manchester demonstrated with the help of a study that ketamine also known as “Special K” can treat people who suffer from depression. Ketamine is used as a horse tranquillizer and as a hallucinogenic pleasure drug, and now it seems like many “depressed” people will get it from pharmacies, most likely […]

The medicine is advancing quickly and now doctors can perform operations without letting any visible scars most of the times. At the Hospital Clinic de Barcelona, Europe, has been conducted the first in Europe and the second in the world, a kidney extraction through the vagina.
The kidney of the woman was affected by malignant tumour […]
