A Walk In The Shoes Of Another—With VR
Researchers in Japan have developed a virtual reality-based system that combines visual stimuli and foot vibrations to replicate the experience of walking.
Designing A Better Fire Extinguisher For Space
Rather than spray carbon dioxide to put out fires, a fire extinguisher developed by scientists in Japan relies on a powerful vacuum.
Ultrasonic Waves Allow Easy Detection Of Structural Defects
Scientists have found that a third wave produced when two ultrasonic waves intersect can be used to detect structural defects in materials.
How We Distinguish Reflective And Transparent Objects
Scientists have shown that humans depend on dynamic information processing to identify reflective and transparent materials.
Building Tiny But Powerful Lasers
Scientists from Japan and the US have used a method called Q switching to amplify the power output of a small laser.
Micrometer-sized Silicon Electrodes To Study The Brain
Researchers in Japan have developed tiny, micrometer-scale needle-electrode devices to record and analyze the brain's electrical activity.
Resistivity Of Carbon Nanocoils Increases With Coil Diameter
Researchers in Japan have shown that the resistivity of carbon nanocoils increases with coil diameter.
Nanomagnetic Holograms For Glasses-Free 3D Viewing
Using nanomagnets, researchers have developed a holographic display system that has nano-sized pixels and can be viewed over a wide angle.
Researchers Develop Nano Needles That Can Penetrate Brain Slices
These newly developed microneedle-based, nanoscale-tipped electrodes are longer than 100 µm, and are thus capable of penetrating thick tissues like the brain.
Oil And Water For Low-Cost Gene Delivery
Using droplets of oil for electroporation allows researchers to introduce foreign material into as few as 1,000 cells.
