The underlying rules of 3D printing that help innovators get past key cost, time and complexity barriers.
Using a non-invasive infrared laser, scientists have found a way to control the growth of neurons and neuron circuits, essentially learning to rewire the brain, or even create a new one.
Extremely lightweight materials allow developers to program a robot to do almost anything a real bird can do, from dives to back flips.
The 3D printing movement just kicked into a higher gear last week with the launch of a wildly successful Kickstarter project – the 3Doodler – that promises to create the world’s first 3D […]
The manufacturing revolution that 3-D printing was meant to facilitate has stalled. Given that much of the printing hardware is decades old, fault lies with 3-D printing software, says Matthew Griffin.
Cody Wilson and his company, Defense Distributed, can now sell and distribute firearms, but he says he’s going to wait for an add-on that will let him offer a broader range of products.
Scientists at Princeton University have created a bionic ear using a three-dimensional home printer and combined the prosthesis with electronics that can “hear” radio frequencies.
Digital cuisine is something that everybody gets excited about, and for good reason.
What if you could deliver your product to your customer the moment it was manufactured? What if your customers could manufacture a replacement part whenever they need one? What if […]
Today’s smart phones are much more than phones—they are powerful, networked multimedia computers, and over the next 10 years they’ll get far more advanced. As a result, mobility is transforming […]
If you thought that random samples of your DNA collected in public spaces could never be used as part of a futuristic genetic surveillance program, think again. In what has […]
The world of Iron Man may be closer to being a reality than we originally thought. A group of design students at the Royal College of Art in London recently created […]
The evolution of the Web today is happening faster than the transition from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 due to processing power, bandwidth and storage, “creating a curve of exponential change.”
There has been much focus over recent years, on brain machine interfaces (BMI) allowing for the direct control of a computer by electrodes placed on or near the brain. Unfortunately […]
3D printing has taken the technological world by storm as innovators figure out how to use the latest additive manufacturing technology to print out everything from small toys to large buildings.
Our global society has entered a period of accelerated change, and these changes are reshaping entire industries, economic models and institutions. Our blind spot comes from the fact that we […]
1. The Topless Revolution Targets Putin “Putin leered like Benny Hill at a topless protester,” was the headline on The Reliable Source. Gawker has the video of Putin giving the thumb’s up. […]
Originally created just for fun, the RoboHand could open the door towards bringing affordable prostheses to more people. One of the first beneficiaries: A five-year-old boy.
The brain imaging technique “everyone’s been waiting for” has arrived, and may speed up brain anatomy research “by 10 to 100 times.”
Scientists in the UK have tweaked an inkjet printer to facilitate the printing of three-dimensional cellular blobs which may be used to regenerate entire human organs for transplant.
3-D printers are currently capable of producing usable car parts, cat-scanned reproductions of ancient Sumerian clay envelopes with letters inside, and cool-looking geometric desktop toys. That’s very exciting indeed. But […]
1. The Bill Gates Condom The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will award a $100,000 grant to the person who invents a next-generation condom that “significantly preserves or enhances pleasure, in […]
The US military has awarded an unspecified sum to a California company to improve on binoculars that capture 3D images of faces and send them to an identification database.
You often hear people say there’s going to be this massive maker economy in which everybody’s a designer. That’s actually not going to happen.
By providing an accurate roadmap for anyone from CEO to sales superstar to auto mechanic who wishes to increase their personal career relevancy in a world of transformative change, you now have a new tool you can use to make career and education decisions with confidence.
1. Extreme Weather is the New Normal Happy Spring! That means it’s time to expect winter storms. That’s the new normal, according to National Weather Service Director Louis Uccellini. “We have observed […]
Engineers at Oxford University, UK, have created an automated driving system that is currently being tested on private roads around the university and is accurate to a few centimeters.
Scientists at Cornell University have used a 3-D printer to construct an artificial human ear which, when used to replace a damaged ear, looks and functions nearly identically to the original.
Perfect beauty, HD photography, 3D printing, Elective Bionic Surgery, biohackers, and no religion are all trends to watch for 2013.
