Scientists have long been fascinated by how babies interact with adults. A new research, conducted by a team of roboticists, computer engineers and developmental psychologists at the University of California, San Diego, shows that babies smile intentionally to make the person, they are interacting with, smile in return. Often, this act of smiling is so perfectly…
Today, Bluetooth is everywhere, from mobile phones, computers, speakers, lamps to wearable gadgets, like smart watches, earphones and fitness bands. Scientists, at the University of California, San Diego, have developed an entirely new wireless communication technology that, given its many advantages, seems to be a better and more sophisticated alternative to Bluetooth. The prototype, designed by…
Many of the recent breakthroughs, in medical science, have been the result of the implementation of nanotechnology principles. These include the use of nanodiamonds for targeted drug delivery and therapeutics; gold nanoparticles for the detection of breast cancer as well as specially-designed nano drones that help prevent heart attacks by repairing arterial inflammation. Using an…
Here’s a clever idea. A group of scientists, from the University of California, San Diego, is in the process of developing a smart fabric, of sorts, that could keep the wearer’s body within a comfortable temperature range, irrespective of how hot or cold it really is. Aimed at reducing the need for separate building-level air…
