The platform integrates robotics, software, data science and endoscope innovation to improve patient outcomes and contain healthcare costs.

The BionicWheelBot can walk around like normal spiders, but it can also fold up into a wheel shape to mimic the unique somersault-roll of the flic-flac spider.

According to British data, around 32,000 smartphone screens are smashed every day in the U.K. alone -- not to mention iPads, tablets and other mobile and fixed devices. To repair the device one must engage a repair shop or the manufacturer, a process that is lengthy, overwhelming and inconvenient. A better way is offered by the British startup Repairly, created in London, to address this problem.

The electric vehicle startup will manufacture its vehicles and battery packs in-house.

Computer scientists from Carnegie Mellon University have created a system that can take 3D shapes and create stitch-by-stitch instructions that can allow a computer-controlled knitting system to automatically produce the shape.

Researchers have demonstrated a new type of high-capacity optical disk that can hold data securely for more than 600 years.

The integrated system provides face-to-face conversation with simultaneous viewing of live ultrasound images and guided probe positioning.

The Reborn Light project aims to provide public lighting for residents in Namie.

A new low-cost 3D bioprinter has been developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University.

Weaving a piezoelectric yarn together with an electrically-conducting yarn has produced a new fabric with curiously counterintuitive properties.

The brain stethoscope uses a sonification algorithm to translate the brain’s electrical activity into sounds.

A new artificial structure that may have applications in foldable electronics, space travel and more takes its inspiration from the ingenious, origami-like design of the wing of an earwig.

Researchers from MIT and University of California Berkeley have been able to find water in the most unlikely spot: the desert air.

A new magnetoencephalography can be worn like a helmet, allowing free and natural movement during scanning.

These Yetis are autonomous snowplows developed by Semcon and Øveraasen for Norwegian airport operator Avinor.

MIT CSAIL’s SoFi robot opens new opportunities to study marine life up close.

The RTS is designed to protect against thermal runaway, reliably interrupting the circuit precisely at a pre-defined temperature.
