Japanese scientists aim to create robot-insects; Bilim adamları böcek robot geliştiriyor
Böcek beyninin şemasını çıkaran Japon bilimadamları, robot-böcek geliştirilmesinde bir adım daha attı.
Tokyo Üniversitesi’nin Bilim ve Teknolojik Araştırmalar Enstitüsü’nde görev yapan Profesör Ryohei Kanzaki ve ekibi, yaklaşık 30 yıldır böcek beynini araştırıyor. Her ne kadar temel amacı insan beynini araştırıp, oluşan hasarların tedavisinde yeni yöntemler bulmak olsa da Kanzaki, melez robot-böceklerin üretiminin öncülerinden biri durumunda. (bilim.org)

TOKYO (AFP) — Police release a swarm of robot-moths to sniff out a distant drug stash. Rescue robot-bees dodge through earthquake rubble to find survivors.
These may sound like science-fiction scenarios, but they are the visions of Japanese scientists who hope to understand and then rebuild the brains of insects and programme them for specific tasks.
Ryohei Kanzaki, a professor at Tokyo University’s Research Centre for Advanced Science and Technology, has studied insect brains for three decades and become a pioneer in the field of insect-machine hybrids. Bu yazının geri kalanını okuyun
Bionic Hand
British scientists claim to have created the world’s first truly bionic hand small enough to be used by a toddler.
A full-scale trial at Nottingham City Hospital on young patients who have only a partial hand has paved the way for the technology to become available on the NHS.
It has taken more than 20 years for the high-tech hands to be developed by engineers and doctors.
They have solved the problem of how to make the motors and batteries small enough to be completely self-contained.
This is important because it allows the very young to be fitted with the mechanical hand early enough in their lives so that they can adapt to the device and get the maximum performance out of it. Bu yazının geri kalanını okuyun
Konuşan Kağıtlar
Scientists have created a digital paper that can talk to you. The interactive paper billboard, which has been created by a group of scientists in Mid Sweden University, emits sounds when it is activated by a user’s touch. Bu yazının geri kalanını okuyun
