MRI glove provides insights into hand anatomy
A new kind of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) component in the shape of a glove delivers the first clear images of bones, tendons, and ligaments moving together, a new study finds.Led by NYU School of Medicine and published inNature Biomedical Engineering, the study shows how a new MRI element design woven into garment-like detectors can capture high-quality images of moving joints for the first time.
VxWorks off to Mars on another NASA/JPL mission with InSight
Very recently on the 5th May, NASA’s Mars Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport(InSight) missionwas launched using a United Launch Alliance (ULA)AtlasV 401rocketfrom Vandenberg Air Force Base on a 300-million-mile trip to Mars to study for the first time what lies deep beneath the surface of the Red Planet.

Haptic feedback meets telerobotic applications
When implementing haptic feedback on a joystick through motor force or vibration, it can bring significant benefits in telerobotic applications. To do this requires precise control over the motor current on the haptic side and precise sensing of the applied motor current on the working end of the system. Gerard Bush of INMOCO discusses applications for haptic feedback and how they can be implemented.
One-day seminar on basics of Industry 4.0
With a strong market demand Festo Training & Consulting has launched a new seminar entitled ‘The Fundamentals of Industry 4.0’.The one-day course – the first of which takes place on 8th March 2018 – is suitable for those who wish to gain a broader understanding of what Industry 4.0 is about: without talking about products.
Machine learning capability enables correlative microscopy datasets
The recently announced ZEISS ZEN Intellesis, a new machine learning capability from ZEISS enables researchers to perform advanced analysis of their imaging samples across multiple microscopy methods.The first algorithmic solution introduced by the ZEISS ZEN Intellesis platform makes integrated, easy to use, powerful segmentation for 2D and 3D datasets available to the routine microscopy user. ZEISS ZEN Intellesis software is available for the com...
Target genes to halt progression of thyroid cancer
Thyroid cancer is a disease with good cure rates in most cases. In 5% of patients, however, the tumour becomes refractory to the available therapies and may spread all over the body, causing death.
Microfluidic device brings single-cell tech to the bedside
Single-cell analysis holds enormous potential to study how individual cells influence disease and respond to treatment, but the lack of cost-effective and user-friendly instrumentation remains challenging.
BLOODHOUND project edges towards the finishing line
The BLOODHOUND SSC project will make history later this month when it makes its first ever test runs, during which the supersonic combined jet engine and rocket powered car is set to achieve speeds of up to 200mph on the runway at Newquay Airport in Cornwall.
Desiccant dryers meet the strictest energy requirements
Designed to meet the strictest energy requirements,Atlas Copco has introduced two new dryer ranges, the CD 25+-260+ and the CD 25-260. The heatless desiccant dryers deliver increased efficiency and reliable continuous operation for industrial applications.Keith Barron, National Sales Manager at Atlas Copco, said:“The new CD+ and CD dryers are available now in inlet capacities ranging from 25-260 l/s, and have been launched to provide our cu...
The top ten tech breakthroughs of 2017
It’s been another eventful 12 months in the world of technology. Further ground has been broken in the journey towards autonomous driving and the integration of technology in the healthcare sector. Plus the continued drive for smaller size, lower power devices.This has also been met with further concerns around data security as more and more ‘things’ around us become connected.
