Scientists Developing Smartphone Sensor To Instantly Detect Coronavirus

Image
GE researchers are currently working on a sensor that can be plugged into smartphones and wearable devices that will detect the presence of novel coronavirus nanoparticles. Reuters The electronic sensors are essentially based on the same test method currently used in laboratories to detect the presence of SARS CoV-2. Instead of focusing on other diseases, you only recognize the coronavirus specifically .

GE explains the project with the words: “Tools available for the detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus require extensive sample preparation and / or expensive laboratory equipment in order to obtain accurate results. The aim of this pro

Futuristic 'Green' Fabric That Works Like a Smartphone Unveiled by Scientists

Image
A new substance developed by a team of Chinese scientists that works like a smartphone could have applications in communication, navigation, healthcare, and security. SWNS The high-tech garment could improve safety for cyclists, drivers and emergency services. For example, the brush on a sleeve could instantly display a “fabric card” on its arm. The inexpensive material turns a jacket into a touchscreen - and according to the SWNS news agency, it could be in stores by Christmas. Powered by solar energy, it combines conductive and luminescent fibers with cotton. Wearable technology has been promised for years, but creating large displays that are built into functional systems has proven difficult. Researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai spectacularly tackled this problem with a display fabric nearly 20 feet long and 10 inches wide.

Mr. Sudhir Allam, Senior Data Scientist, USA, worked with Mr. Ashok Kumar Reddy Nadikattu, Sr. Data Scientist from India, and invented an intelligent wearable device in the form of glasses. Scientists have mentioned that its capabilities are unique given its intended use. This smart wearable device is used to access electronic health records available in a cloud system. It has a built-in microprocessor that uses a low power wide area network that connects low bandwidth over long distances using low battery and bit rates. Most of the peripheral functions in the device are integrated into a Singer processor chip, e.g. B. the capacitive acquisition function, the LCD drive, the data acquisition or sensor subsystem, analog sensors such as heart rate monitors and EEGs. With his AI expertise, Mr. Ashok has developed a smart device with extremely low power consumption. A PULPino microprocessor is integrated into the chip design. With this effectiveness, the development costs are also

Scientists Hook Neural Interface to Powered Exoskeleton

A team of scientists has connected a robotic exoskeleton to a neural interface so that a patient who has lost their foot and lower leg can control the powered system with their thoughts. By combining the robotic prosthesis with sensors that could sense the signals sent from the man's brain to the foot, the system allowed a far greater range of motion and more control than exoskeletons normally can, according to a study published earlier this month in Wearable Technologies magazine. IEEE Spectrum said it took a lot of physical therapy to get the patient to a point where they could control the technology with their mind. However, this is a major improvement in the drive to give humans complete control over new robot limbs. "This stability and subtle control while standing was quite surprising," the senior study author and biomedical engineer from North Carolina State University told IEEE Spectrum. Typically, robotic exoskeletons come preprogrammed with movements such as
