Bionic Fingers

Posted: December 21st, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: Blog | Tags: | Comments Off on Bionic Fingers


One of the best things about the advancement of technology is the advantages it provides to disabilities. These motorized fingers look to be one of those great benefits in the making. The company Touch Bionics has developed these – called “Prodigits”. Seems to be the first time an aid has been developed to replace individual fingers. I don’t know the first thing about how the control systems would need to work but these little fingers look very cleverly designed.


Paper Battery

Stanford University researcher Yi Cui has developed a battery that is made by depositing an ink containing carbon nanotubes & silver nanowires on paper. He has previously done battery research using plastics but recently he’s found that the chemicals adhere much better to paper. The resulting battery or supercapacitor can then be folded, bent, rolled, and still work through about 40,000 charge cycles – twice the effectiveness of your standard Lithium Ion batteries.

Saw these pics by Vincent Fournier when I was checking out the Las Vegas photographs on Iconology. They appear to be of Russian astronaut training facilities and they’re gorgeous. There’s more – of astronauts in forbidding landscapes here. Vincent’s website is here.
