Not just touch and super-connected clothes: soon we will be able to communicate with the smartphone even through our skin, via a #tattoo called #Duoskin. It's called epidermal electronics and soon we will all be able to find it on ourselves: the design of each tattoo is customizable, the colors are silver and gold and the aesthetics are fabulous. The prototype was created by a student of the MIT Media Lab in collaboration with Microsoft Research, it is made of gold leaf (the conductive material), integrates an electronic component and is transferred ...

The hi-tech suture will tell us how the wound is going

October 14, 2016

Technology is now advancing in every field, and especially in medicine it helps us to be increasingly efficient. This is the case of the intelligent #suture, created by researchers from MIT and Tufts University. This special type of suture keeps the #wound under control and signals any ongoing infections. The threads that are used - we read on Microsystems & Nanoengineering - are a mix of cotton and synthetic materials. These are able to absorb body fluids and… Read more

Transfer passwords through the body? Today is reality

October 5, 2016

Nowadays, sending personal information via wireless connection (WiFi and Bluetooth) is an insecure method. In fact, any signal can be intercepted and decoded. This is why researchers at the University of Washington have devised a way to transmit #passwords using only the human #body, taking advantage of the sensors integrated into electronic devices. In this way the transmission of passwords is even more secure. Engineers from the Networks and Mobile Systems Lab worked on the project, testing smartphone sensors... Read more

iPhone 7 and the new wireless smartphones

8 September 2016

The future is without jacks for headphones and earphones, at least according to #Apple, which yesterday presented its new #iPhone 7. With #wireless earphones. Yesterday, on the stage at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, Tim Cook presented Apple's latest innovations, including the iPhone 7. The main innovations include a farewell to the audio jack, two cameras, water resistance and a battery which lasts longer. “The iPhone 7 is the most advanced smartphone ever made,” says Cook. To the new iPhone… Read more

The new Samsung will have two displays

July 6 2016

Samsung's next smartphone could have two displays. The first foldable smartphone was announced in 2017, but other models could hit the market in the future. Today's news is that Samsung filed a patent at the end of 2015 that describes a smartphone with two separate screens; no news, for now, if this patent will materialize into something real. About four years ago, Samsung submitted a patent for a dual display smartphone, which had two touch panels… Read more

Flexible sensors: a revolution. Our life at a glance.

November 4, 2015

The best medical devices for measuring blood pressure today require a prolonged stay of the patient in the clinic. An experimental sensor can adhere to the skin almost like a tattoo and monitor this parameter in real time 24 hours a day. Why is a wearable sensor a revolution? A flexible and wearable sensor marks the difference between a simple 'photograph' of the patient and a constant path that allows us to perfectly understand what correlations exist between daily activities and the variation...

The ringwatch sees the light.

October 11, 2015

We've been talking about it for some time, but recently the first semi-functioning prototypes of a digital ring-clock capable of communicating with devices have emerged. Surgical steel, patented system, three rotating rings showing hours, minutes and seconds with the help of blue or orange LED lights. The system is equipped with a wirelessly rechargeable lithium battery, which provides a full week of use on a single charge. Here are a couple more… Read more

15 predictions about the future of consumer sales

November 17, 2013November 17, 2013

“Change is the law of life: those who look only to the past or present will certainly miss the future.” JF Kennedy Consumer choices and expectations will change very rapidly with the advancement of technological progress, often forcing companies to adopt a strategy of continuous adaptation to new generations and new trends. Here are 15 predictions on future purchasing experiences that I have collected and formulated through the analysis of data and reports from companies and study centers: … Read more

Capturing energy from the wifi and converting it into electricity: a first device made

November 9, 2013

Along the road that leads to wireless electricity, or "witricity", there is an important new travel companion: a circuit developed by researchers at Duke University capable of capturing energy from sound and the WiFi signal with an efficiency close to that of solar cells. It is a small device that uses 5 copper and glass fiber conductors connected in a circuit through 5 channels made with a metamaterial. The circuit 'captures' energy from the aforementioned sources converting it into electrical energy... Read more

Eyes on me, please

November 6, 2012

Try to imagine a mechanic with grease-stained hands trying to flip through the pages of a car maintenance guide. Every time you put the wrench down, clean yourself carefully so as not to get dirty, turn the page and start again. The scientists at the Fraunhofer Center for Organics, Materials and Electronic Devices in Dresden (better known as COMEDD) must have experienced this sensation many times, having developed special glasses capable of allowing the wearer to browse ...

Flying salvation: a network of aerial drones for first aid

May 11, 2013October 31, 2012

The statistics released by the WHO tell us that of the millions of cases of fatal cardiac arrest occurring outside of hospital facilities, more than a third could be tackled: the timely arrival of an ambulance, the use of a defibrillator and lots and lots of speed (6 minutes is the window of time needed to save the patient). Many cities around the world do not have the capacity to act in time and lack the necessary organization. This translates into genocide: hundreds of thousands… Read more

Bang & Olufsen hits Encore

November 5, 2022November 11, 2011

(sponsored article) Multipurpose environments and intelligent spaces await us in the near future to pamper us and meet the needs of a presumably more stressed population: the 'show down' will travel in the opposite direction to disorder: it seems classic but one can expect rooms increasingly essential, elegant, capable of calming the soul and transmitting serenity and harmony. Speaking of harmony: what will happen to music? A factor that has been important to humans for thousands of years will not be overlooked tomorrow either: ... Read more
