Eye Imaging May Be the Key to Better Automated Vehicles
Optical Coherence Tomography is a technology developed in the 90’s which can be found in the offices of eye doctors. However, engineers believe it may hold the key to improving the “vision” of self-driving technology and other autonomous systems (ScienceDaily). Light Detection and Ranging, or LiDAR for short, is a system that works similarly to […]
Scientific Questions Which Were Once Believed to be “Unsolvable:”
Today, it might seem silly for someone to say that a question will never be solved by science. Think of all the progress that has been made over the last couple of centuries! Do you think anyone from 1950 could’ve imagined we’d all carry tiny computers in our pockets? Or would someone from 1800 ever […]
Efficient DNA Testing
For many years, DNA testing has been a hassle for those with genetic disorders. To most people, DNA testing is figuring out more about your ancestry. However, ancestry is just a small portion of DNA testing; for others it can help them better access a treatment or their disorder. The current problem with genetic testing […]
Eavesdropping Fabric
Since the beginning of mankind, clothing has been a way to cover our bodies of course. As the years progressed, clothing became much more than that. It turned into ways people could express their feelings. Although fashion continues to live on, a new technology advancement has found a way for clothing to “listen” to heartbeats. […]
