Cellular automata are more of a computer based concept wherein a “cell” that is created in virtual screen dependent on the neighbors. Its creation or destruction is dependent on the type of neighbors. This leads to interesting displays, dynamic scenario’s, that are always dynamic since the neighbor’s affect their other neighbors and the effect continues…

Biological Organic chemistry can be hard. There are several molecules and many of them are complex in shape and characteristics. To really understand molecular function and structure, it would be great to have molecules that you can rotate in 3D as well as see and feel with your hands. This has been traditionally possible only…

As we move towards an era of robots, improvements in the design piece by piece takes place as the roboticists go along in their endeavors. Roboticists are using reptiles, ants and even grasshoppers as templates for the automatons, learning from the ways these non-human models have evolved in their ways of navigation, balance and stability….

Carnegie Mellon researchers, Robert Xiao, Chris Harrison and Scott E Hudson have come up with a touchscreen system that can be used on any surface. They have used a projector coupled with a depth measuring system that enables any surface to be converted to a touch screen. More information here and the technology can be…

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…
