South Korean researchers have made a robotic hand with a similar range of motion to that of a human. It can perform delicate tasks like using tweezers and scissors or holding an egg. These features give the robotic hand a similar range of motion to a human hand, enabling it to hold eggs, lift dumbbells, and handle tweezers. They also found that the hand can carry out delicate tasks using tools. The robotic hand is also durable.

Flooding caused by rising sea levels has increased by 247% in some areas of New York since 2000. The nonprofit Billion Oyster Project aims to restore oyster reefs in New York's five boroughs. However, in New York, a secret weapon has emerged in the fight against rising sea levels — oysters. The Billion Oyster project plans to restore 100 million oysters in New York Harbor over the next five years. New York isn't the only place in the US using oysters to tackle rising sea levels.

A team of MIT engineers created the world's longest flexible fiber battery. Engineers from MIT have made a breakthrough in this field, creating the world's longest flexible battery. In addition to being the longest, it's also the world's thinnest fiber battery design. "This is the first 3D printing of a fiber battery device," Khudiyev said. The MIT team has already applied for a patent and hopes that it will reach the commercial market in a few years.

Italian researchers are adding propulsion engines to a small humanoid robot. The engines will allow the robot to fly like Iron Man. The iCub, as the robot is called, could help in natural disasters. The robot will have systems in its palms that allow it to control power and direction, much like the Marvel superhero Iron Man. The ability to fly will allow iCub to do both these things.

Researchers in Japan are working on masks that glow if they detect the coronavirus. The masks glow under ultraviolet light if they come into contact with the virus. The team has been using ostrich eggs to work on developing the masks. If the coronavirus is present, this will cause the filter to glow under ultraviolet light. In a small study of 32 people who all had coronavirus, all of their masks glowed under ultraviolet light.

It could be used for further research into nature or even to prevent fires. The claws allow the robot to carry objects and also to land and perch on a wide range of surfaces. With a heat sensor, for example, the robot was able to provide valuable data for studying the weather in Oregon. It could therefore be used to monitor fires and potentially help to carry out search and rescue missions. "If we could have a robot that could act like a bird, that could unlock completely new ways of studying the environment," he went on.

Chogo/Xinhua/Getty ImagesAs well as boasting the longest network of high-speed lines in the world, China now has the fastest scheduled trains on the planet. A statement of intent by China’s booming railway technology industry, the Fuxing trains have been developed from previous generations of high-speed trains, which were based on technology imported from Europe and Japan. The design also forms the basis of the Siemens “Velaro” family of high-speed trains, which has been sold to Spain, Russia, Turkey, China and to Eurostar for its second generation international trains. Europe’s first dedicated high-speed network is still its best known and most successful, reaching out well beyond France’s borders. Frecciarossa services operate across Italy’s T-shaped high-speed network, linking Turin, Milan and Venice in the north with Bologna, Florence, Rome and Naples.

A new 3D printed vaccine can be applied to the skin without the need for a jab. The patches can be easily transported and they don't require any special training to use. Their initial research appeared in UNC news in September, and detailed how the researchers are working to incorporate vaccines like those used against coronavirus into the patches. The 3D vaccine may also be customized to help in cases of flu or measles. The team used a prototype CLIP 3D printer, which was invented by DeSimone and produced by CARBON, a Silicon Valley company he co-founded.

Researchers created a microscope slide that can detect cancer by simply "viewing" cells. It's not limited to cancer cells, so could also be used to detect other diseases. Cancer cells tend to interact with light in a different way from healthy cells. Cancer cells tend to interact with light in a different way from healthy cells. In contrast, the NanoMslide can manipulate light at the nanoscale, causing cells to "light up" with vivid and contrasting colors.

Apple filed two patents in Singapore early in 2020, relating to drones and their control systems. Their filing out of the US and delayed publication suggests Apple may be trying to keep them quiet. The giant had previously filed two other patent applications, indicating some effort had been made to keep the project quiet. It can delay the date that a patent application is made public, and it can submit the application in another country. Both of these patents were originally filed in Singapore, according to Patently Apple.

On the farm, artificial intelligence, robots, and smart sensors do the farming. The 1,900-hectare farm will demonstrate how tech can make the industry more productive and efficient. Hands-free farming, the future of farming is nighThe automated farm spans 1,900 hectares and could set a precedent for what robotics and AI have to offer for "hands-free" farming. The hope is that artificial intelligence will improve decision-making around planting, conditioning, and harvesting. The farm is already operating at a commercial level, and early trials will keep it running at night while farmers sleep.

Spanish firm Genaq extracts water through the air with atmospheric generators. Since 2008, the company has been investing in researching, development, and industrialization of atmospheric water generators produced in Lucena. "In the air we breathe there is a certain degree of humidity which is actually water. From there, teams can dispense the water they just produced on-site for all sorts of situations — from emergencies and dwindling water supplies to a total water shortage. "In many cases, the water we're producing is no longer an extra or alternative water supply; it's the main source of water," says Inmaculada Armenteros.

Stephanie Kwolek — KevlarKwolek only intended to work for DuPont temporarily, to save up to study medicine. YouTube / WeBoMediaLLCIn the 1960s, chemical company DuPont was trying to find a lighter alternative to steel to reinforce car tires. Kwolek began working with a team at DuPont, experimenting on groups of long-chain molecules with a rigid rod-like structure, known as aromatic polyimides. The DuPont Kevlar Survivors Club, founded in 1987 by police officers who owe their lives to bullet-proof vests is a testament to Kwolek's work but Kevlar has also saved the lives of many soldiers and motorcyclists. After she retired, Kwolek continued to work at her home lab.
