Skeleton Key

Researchers develop method that shows diverse complex networks have similar skeletons.

Northwestern University researchers are the first to discover that very different complex networks — ranging from global air traffic to neural networks — share very similar backbones. By stripping each network down to its essential nodes and…[Read more]

Researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas and Virginia Tech have created an undersea vehicle inspired by the common jellyfish that runs on renewable energy and could be used in ocean rescue and surveillance missions.

In a study published in Smart Materials and Structures, scientists created a robotic jellyfish, dubbed Robojelly, that feeds…[Read more]

Weapons operated by thought control and helmets that stimulate soldier’s brains for more accuracy could become a reality in the not-too-distant future, according to a leading scientist.
Professor Flower, a biochemist at the William Harvey Research Institute, Queen Mary, University of London chaired a Royal Society working group looking at the…[Read more]

Probing the largely unexplored question of what characteristics make a leader among schooling fish, researchers have discovered that by mimicking nature, a robotic fish can transform into a leader of live ones.

Through a series of experiments, researchers from Polytechnic Institute of New York University (NYU-Poly) aimed to increase understanding…[Read more]

Blind user tries out Retina Implant AG’s bionic vision system

Below, a video of a Retina Implant patient at a restaurant where she sees her beer waiting for her (oh happy day), and identifies her silverware.

Thanx Neuro! I’ll check it!
