Washington University researchers have developed a novel “time-reversal” technology that allows for better-focused light in tissue, such as muscles and organs. Phys.org summarizes the research published in Nature Photonics, that describes using a new technology called time-reversed adapted-perturbation (TRAP) optical focusing, which sends guiding light into tissue to seek movement. Check out this video which shows dynamic focusing onto a moving target inside scattering media.

Connecticut’s Westport Library not too long ago acquired two robots, Vincent and Nancy, that will be used to help teach coding and computer-programming capabilities. Take a look!

ITAP, short for Intraosseous Transcutaneous Amputation Prosthesis, is a type of prosthetic that plugs right into an amputee’s bone. The RNOH and Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham recently finished trials where test participants said sensors in the ITAP improved their ability to know where their feet were. If cleared by the Food and Drug Administration, this futuristic new design for prosthetic limbs could emerge in American markets. Read the full story posted on Engadget.
