Researchers have invented a technique that uses inexpensive paper to make “microfluidic” devices for rapid medical diagnostics and chemical analysis.
The innovation represents a way to enhance commercially available diagnostic devices that use paper-strip assays like those that test for diabetes and pregnancy.
“With current systems that use paper test strips you can measure things like pH [...]
German researchers have built an anthropomorphic robotic hand that can endure collisions with hard objects. The robotic hand can even endure strikes from a hammer without breaking. The robotic hand, developed by researchers at the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics, part of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), may be the toughest robotic hand ever developed.
The human-shaped [...]
