Humans are tactile creatures. We use our sense of touch to judge everything from balance to the amount of pressure we must use to avoid breaking an eggshell. Yet many electronics we interact with often lack tactile feedback. Haptic motor company Titan Haptics is on a mission to help product developers easily integrate tactile feedback into their products. Titan Haptics adds realistic recoil to StrikerVR’s Arena Infinity Blaster.

Medical diagnostics are shifting fast, from bulky, hospital-based equipment to compact, intelligent devices that operate in real-time and closer to the point of care. In this article, we look at three recent prototypes: a dissolvable pacemaker powered by light, a handheld AI-driven heart sound recorder, and a bioinspired sensor platform that tracks hundreds of metabolites in the body. Engineers at Northwestern University have built a new pacemaker small enough to be injected through a syringe.

The wheels of research never stop turning, with scientists from around the world reporting countless new innovations to make our world better. Today we’ll focus on six recently released studies that cover a wide range of topics, from materials science to AI-enabled brain interfaces. Engineers from UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco have leveraged AI models in conjunction with brain-sensing devices to stream speech directly from the brain, facilitating natural speech for people affected by paralysis.

Infineon Technologies and RT-Labs recently collaborated to integrate six key industrial communication protocols directly into the firmware of Infineon's XMC7000 industrial microcontroller. The XMC7000 industrial MCU. With the Industry 4.0 market projected to spike to $862B by 2032, it's more important than ever for industrial devices to support the top communication protocols in this space.
