Researchers create focus-free camera with new flat lens
Using a single lens that is about one-thousandth of an inch thick, researchers have created a camera that does not require focusing. The technology offers considerable benefits over traditional cameras such as…
A Quantum 3D Imaging technique generates images 40,000 times cleaner than current technologies
Researchers at Stevens Institute of Technology have created a 3D imaging system that uses light’s quantum properties to create images 40,000 times crisper than current technologies, paving the way for never-before seen…
Ultra-precise, mind-controlled prosthetic hand makes amputees feel like they get hand again
In a major advance in mind-controlled prosthetics for amputees, University of Michigan researchers have tapped faint, latent signals from arm nerves and amplified them to enable real-time, intuitive, finger-level control of a…
Doctors perform first-ever CRISPR gene editing within human body
The gene-editing tool CRISPR has been used to address a blindness-causing gene mutation at Oregon Health & Science University for a clinical trial. The procedure marks the first time CRISPR has been…
