Biodegradable Electronic Blood Vessels: Tissue Interactions
In a joint effort, researchers at China and Switzerland have developed electronic blood vessels that mimics their natural counterparts. Most of the times, some foreign agent when implanted within the human body display uncertain behaviour. Incompatibility is a critical issue and at times, it often leads to tissue trauma.
Read MorePortable Docking Station For Autonomous Charging: Marine Robotics
Rescue missions under natural disasters or man-made catastrophes are not only threatening for the safety of people but also quiet complex and dangerous for a rescue team. In order to increase the efficiency, robots are used in search and rescue (SAR) missions.
Read MoreInternet of Things Will Morph To Internet of Humans: Neuralink
In The Age of Intelligent Machines (1990), inventor and visionary computer scientist, Raymond Kurzweil predicted that there will be a huge increase in the use of technology and an exponential growth in the internet. And by mid-21st century, AI would overtake human brain in computational capabilities. Eventually it would lead to intelligence explosion resulting in a powerful super intelligence that qualitatively surpass all human intelligence.

Hyperdimensional computing (HDC) is the budding computational paradigm based on cognitive model which distillates to higher dimensionality and randomness.
Read MoreAstronauts create Fifth State of Matter on ISS: Bose-Einstein Condensates in Space
Astronauts harnessed the microgravity environment at the International Space Station by developing an ‘exotic’ form of matter. We call it exotic because this form of matter has not been easily observed on earth – maybe due to gravity.
