Many displays serve as just just reflections of what the computer projects. However, it would be cool to have a display that see’s what you are looking at and then augments the display. Such Virtual Reality (VR)displays are just being created and though all the attention has been given to Google glass, there are several companies and groups that have been working on such displays. One memorable one has been the work that is being created through a startup called “Meta” which is building a computerized display that has a camera mounted in its display so works very well for augmented reality applications. See the link below for more information.

Ushio has made a great detector that can detect toxins, drugs and many other agents using a new method of detection that was published earlier in 2011. The technology is interesting. The detection reagent is a Variable region fragment ofHeavy chain antibody (VH) that has the quenched fluorescence group embedded in its structure. This is…
Hospital corridors
Hospital corridors are boring Why are hospital corridors boring? The patients could do with a little knowledge while they wait or even some entertainment. Right now, they are just bored – they look at the walls or they would most probably look at the phone. Is that the best thing that they should be…
Novel Catalyst
There are many reactions in biology that are catalyzed by enzymes but there are other reactions in industrial chemistry that use industrial catalysts which have primarily been platinum based. A paper in Nature https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-026-68432-1 promises a unique shaped catalyst that can split H-H bond and other reactions. It is a unique structure and promises to…
AI | TechnologyKnowledge graphs
Knowledge graph is a way of representing information where entities/nodes (people, places, products, concepts) are linked by relationships/edges (works, creates, has ). It is a semantic network that captures facts and context. There is also an ontology that defines different types of node/edges and defines what types exist and how they relate. These are used…

What if objects could communicate with us
Pedro Lopes from MIT has been doing some fantastic work on combining image sensing and providing feedback to the human. Typical VR (Virtual Reality) setup’s are problematic because though user can see things they cannot feel it. Pedro is using electrical stimulation to provide feedback as this video shows: {youtube}OcSmCamMKfs{/youtube} But take that a step…
