TECH & INNOVATIONTraditional biometric authentication only uses 2D imagine—increasing the chances of false acceptance or rejection of identity. Researchers develop a new system using photoacoustic tomography for more accurate 3D finger vein biometric authentication.
BIQU, the Chinese company that manufactures 3D printer components, announced its own printer with the BIQU BX Direct Extruder FDM 3D printer - the lightest in its class.
This year's Beijing Auto Show included impressive car concepts, electric vehicles, new systems, and a flying car. All other major auto show events on other continents have been canceled due to the pandemic.
NASA has unveiled its new deep space toilet, officially named the Universal Waste Management System (UMWS), set to be launched to the International Space Station, Tuesday, September 29.
Chinese scientists develop a tiny wind turbine that can harvest energy from a light breeze. The developers hope that someday it can be used to power electronic devices, provide electricity for communities where energy is scarce, and even compete with traditional wind turbines.
Canadian auto parts manufacturer Worksport signed an agreement with American electric truck brand Atlis Motor Vehicles on September 22 to install solar panel technology on trucks.
Endoscopies have evolved from taking images of the esophagus, intestines, and organs, using bulky equipment to minimally-invasive procedures using precision lasers. A new endoscopy technique, however, involves an even smaller device, one that is measured in microns, with the ability to record pixel-by-pixel images of red blood cells.
Whenever there is a discussion about the best way to throw a football, people will often focus on the grip, the footwork, and even the arm motion before release. What you may not hear as much is the physics involved.
Using nanotechnology and silicon-on-insulator technology, scientists develop a tiny ultrasound detector that can create images of cells and small fragments of tissue. The developers hope the technology can also be expanded outside medical applications such as industrial uses.
Desalination processes to produce potable water are essential for all communities, especially in areas where water is scarce. However, traditional methods go through multiple processes resulting in additional costs and energy. Scientists developed artificial carbon nanotubes as an efficient filtration system.
Chitin, an organic substance commonly found on Earth, can be used to create tools and shelter for future space explorations on the Moon and on Mars. Scientists have been developing technology that efficiently manufactures chitin-derived materials.
The Korean electronics manufacturer LG has finally unveiled the LG Wing - its first Explorer Project device that has a T-shaped design, featuring a 3.9-inch dual-display screen and a gimbal motion camera.
Lucid Motors, a new electric company, will be releasing the Lucid Air series by next year. It has a range of advanced internal features including Ethernet-based communication and safety monitoring.
PhoneSoap, an electronics company manufacturing ultraviolet (UV) light sanitizers, has unveiled its new AirSoap air purifier and claims to capture and filter particles HEPA filters can't.
