The other prompts are electricity-conducting bacteria, bio printing tissue, neuromorphic sensors, medical soft bots, no code AI, virtual stores, and haptics.
Scientists Have Just Discovered a New Type of Electricity-Conducting Bacteria
A new species of cable bacteria, which function like electrical wiring, was recently discovered in the US. Its unique morphology and genetic structure may be useful for the development of bioelectronics.
Scientists Can Now 3D Print Tissues Directly Inside the Body—No Surgery Needed
A new bioprinter uses ultrasound to print tissues, biosensors, and medication depots deep in the body.
Tiny device processes hand movement in real time, storing visual memories with brain-like efficiency
https://techxplore.com/news/2025-05-tiny-device-movement-real-visual.html
Engineers have invented a small “neuromorphic” device that detects hand movement, stores memories and processes information like a human brain, without the need for an external computer.
Inside the making of smart soft robots for medical use
https://www.todaysmedicaldevelopments.com/news/tiny-soft-robot-flexes-its-potential-as-a-life-saver/
A tiny, soft, flexible robot that can crawl through earthquake rubble to find trapped victims or travel inside the human body to deliver medicine may seem like science fiction, researchers are pioneering such adaptable robots by integrating flexible electronics with magnetically controlled motion.
Why Every CTO Should Be Planning For No-Code AI
A Future Where Everyone Can Build Software
Digital Twins And Virtual Stores: The Future Of Retail Is Here
But what if you could virtually wander a three-dimensional bookstore? This isn’t science fiction. It represents the new reality of retail design, made possible by emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR).
Wearables with tunable stiffness mimic touch, adapt motion, and remember shape
Researchers have developed a powerful new algorithm that enables the design of reconfigurable metastructures with tunable stiffness and six degrees of freedom (DoF)
