Scientists have discovered how LED lighting can be printed onto paper using nanotechnology, making futuristic novelties such as glowing wallpaper and luminescent curtains possible, Sweden’s Linköping University says.
Identity science takes a giant leap forward with a new discipline in biometrics. Carnegie Mellon University researchers at the new $1.5 million per year Pedo-Biometrics Research and Identity Automation Lab are teaming up with Autonomous ID, an Ottawa, Canada, company currently relocating operations to the U.S., to test insole sensory system prototypes for a variety of identification uses, from security to detecting the onset of such diseases as diabetes and Parkinson's.

A mere milligram of the molecule could encode the complete text of every book in the Library of Congress and have plenty of room to spare.
A new computer interface can modify the feel of almost any surface-potentially adding a new dimension to games and augmented reality apps. Researchers at Disney have demonstrated a computer interface that changes the way ordinary, everyday objects feel using a weak electric signal fed through a user's entire body.

'Melanoma Detection' is a Fraunhofer AICOS' internal study which intends to create a prototype for a patient-oriented system of skin lesion analysis using a smartphone. As skin cancers constitute nowadays the most common malignancies in the Caucasian population, with incidences that are rising faster than any other type of cancer, the early detection of skin cancers is of vital importance - and this is the driving force of the 'Melanoma Detection' project.
Physicists have exploited the quantum nature of photons to transmit information for some time now. And in doing so they've discovered just how powerful quantum communication can be compared to the classical kind. Instead of sending the 0s and 1s of digital code, quantum communicators can send information in a superposition of states that represent both 0s and 1s at the same time.
Today NIKE, Inc. (NYSE:NKE) sets a new standard in athletic training with the introduction of SPARQ Sensory Performance (SSP), an integrated approach that allows athletes to fine tune their sensory skills and see their sport better. SPARQ Sensory Performance is a system of technologies, products and programs designed to assess, analyze and improve an athlete's visual and sensory performance.

人間の身体や能力には限界があると誰しもが思っています。しかし、本来ないはずの器官が身体についていたら?しかもその器官を意思の力で動かすことができたら?
わたしたちは脳波を測定するセンサーを使用して、新しい人間の器官を開発しました。
「necomimi」は人間の身体や能力を拡張する、まったく新しいコミュニケーションツールです。
ネコの耳の形をしたこの機械は、脳波を利用して、あなたが言葉に出すよりも早くあなたの状態を表現します。
頭の上に「necomimi」をつけてください。あなたが集中すると、耳はピンと上に立ち上がります。あなたがリラックスすると、耳はくたりと寝た状態になります。集中とリラックスが同時に訪れると、耳は立ち上がり、ピクピクと動きます。この状態はプロのスポーツ選手などがその力を最も発揮する状態と言われています。
表現しようとする以外の自分の状態を外部に表すことによって、どのような感情の変化が訪れるでしょうか?
面白い?恥ずかしい?怖い?最初は違和感を感じるかもしれません。しかし装着をつづけると、ある程度、脳波で耳の動きをコントロールできるようになります。そのとき「necomimi」はあなたの身体の一部になります。
