In the Face of High Costs, DIYers Hope to Brew Their Own Insulin

Soon after Federick Banting discovered that insulin could be used to treat diabetes in 1921, he sold the patent to the University of Toronto for about a dollar. Banting received the Nobel prize because his discovery meant a life-saving drug could become widely available. Nearly a century later, an American with diabetes can pay as much as US$400 per month for insulin, driving some uninsured patients to desperate and dangerous measures. Clearly, something went wrong.

'Robat' The Robot Explores Using Echolocation

Bats can fly nimbly at night in large part because echolocation helps them "see" in the dark. Now researchers say they have created the first robot to use echolocation like a bat to help it explore its surroundings fully autonomously.

Bats echolocate by emitting clicks and listening to what the echoes of these sounds can reveal about what they reflected off. They can use echolocation to simultaneously map and navigate through new locations, a set of problems they routinely solve "that eng

These Plants Can Quickly Filter Toxins From Water

Want cleaner drinking water, free of toxins and contaminants? Mother Nature’s here to help.

A number of studies have come out over the past year looking at the role different plants could play in remediation, i.e. the removal of dangerous substances. This green technology is known as phytoremediation, from the Greek “phyto” for plant, and “remedium” for restoring balance.

Take, for example, moss. A non-vascular plant, mosses lack a root system, absorbing water and nutrients throughou

These Robot Claws Are Made From Paper

Robots made of ... paper? Researchers at Carnegie Mellon’s Human-Computer Interaction Institute have developed a pretty neat way to bring plain old paper to life.

The team used an inexpensive 3D printer to apply a thin layer of conducting thermoplastic, a material that becomes pliable when warm, but regains its original, hardened shape when cool.

When the researchers apply an electrical current, the melting thermoplastic makes the paper bend, fold, or flatten. Then, it springs back

Humans Beat Robots, Hands Down

Like it or not, we’re surrounded by robots. Thousands of Americans ride to work these days in cars that pretty much drive themselves. Vacuum cleaners scoot around our living rooms on their own. Quadcopter drones automatically zip over farm fields, taking aerial surveys that help farmers grow their crops. Even scary-looking humanoid robots, ones that can jump and run like us, may be commercially available in the near future.

Robotic devices are getting pretty good at moving around our

How Do We Get Four Billion People Online?

Despite the name, the World Wide Web … isn’t. Some 52 percent of the world � roughly 4 billion people, mostly women � don’t have access to the open web.

This has sparked something like a new space race, featuring satellites, high altitude balloons, drones, even lasers. The rush of startups and tech companies � including SpaceX, Google, Facebook � make it only a matter of time before most humans are online.

The benefits are already clear. Getting online is financially advantageous for f

Want Your Kids to Read More? Get 'Em a Robot

Back in the day, if parents wanted to encourage their kids to read without, you know, actually reading with them, educational TV programs like Reading Rainbow were the way to go. Now, robots might do the trick, according to a new paper in Science Robotics.

It’s Reading Robot

Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison studied the effects that a robot reading companion had on a group of 24 kids ranging in age from 10 to 12 years old. The team programmed the bot, which they

This Element's Weird Behavior Could Lead to Faster Electronics

You’ve never seen bismuth like this before.

Element 83 on the periodic table, bismuth is a hard, pinkish-white metal that can grow in stunning geometric crystals.

Recently, researchers have been taking a closer look at bismuth, down to the atomic level. Shown here is a simulation of orbiting bismuth surface electrons in a very strong magnetic field.

Note how the electrons are all gathered in clumps inside each potential orbit. Scientists refer to this as an energy valley.

Experiment Reveals How Light Shoves Matter Around

Quantum mechanics, the science of the smallest stuff, is famously kooky. Light is both a particle and a wave, electrons zip around and travel instantaneously, cats are both alive and dead � it’s hard for our human brains to comprehend. One phenomenon that sort of makes a little sense, if you think about it right, is that light alone can push things around.

Formally known as ‘imparting momentum,’ the idea can also seem quantumly crazy. I go out in the sunlight all the time without feeling

Rare Earth Elements are Crucial to Modern Society. So, What Are They?

Most Americans use rare earth elements every day – without knowing it, or knowing anything about what they do. That could change, as these unusual materials are becoming a focal point in the escalating trade war between the U.S. and China.

Stanley Mertzman, a geologist whose specialty is X-ray analysis of rocks and minerals to determine their chemical composition, and who teaches mineralogy at Franklin and Marshall College, explains more about these little-known and fascinating elements –

Workers of the World! There Is Efficiency in Idleness

In Kurt Vonnegut’s dystopian novel, Player Piano, things get a little awkward after industrialist Dr. Paul Proteus, escorted in a black government limo, passes a crew of “Reeks and Wrecks,” or displaced laborers who could no longer compete economically with the machines that filled factories like Proteus’ Illium Works.

In the street, some 40 construction workers are hunched over shovels and pitchforks, all watching a single man fill a two-foot-wide pothole. With an abundance of idle hand

People Think Differently Around Robots — Especially When They're Mean

As prices drop and their functionality expands, you can expect to see humanoid robots in more places, including schools, airports, and hospitals. That’s made researchers curious how androids and their kin will influence human behavior. In a study published today, scientists found that meaner, colder robots can help people concentrate � and that could help us better understand human-robot relationships.

The experiment, published in Science Robotics, was based on something called the Stroop

Children Give in to Robot Peer Pressure

Those of us of a certain age may recall the D.A.R.E. program wafting through our classrooms like so many puffs of smoke. In addition to the evils of drugs and alcohol, and the importance of just saying no, the program highlighted the power of peer pressure. No matter how much our friends and classmates might say something’s cool, we shouldn’t be swayed if we don’t want to try it!

It turns out that kids aren't just susceptible to regular old peer pressure. According to a study published We

A New Method for Making Brilliant, Organic Dyes

The intense, brilliant color of high-tech organic dyes comes at a price � the chemical processes used to make them are extremely harmful to the environment. And these dyes are vital for many modern electronics, like flat screens and debit card chips. But what if you could replace the typical toxic solvents with plain old water?

Researchers at the Technische Universität Wien in Vienna, Austria, have done just that. And their find is made all the more impressive considering the hydrophobic

Connected Learning Summit
On August 1, 2, and 3, MIT Media Lab and several other sponsors hosted the first iteration of the annual Connected Learning Summit. I attended this conference to support my SciStarter colleague, Lea Shell,who absolutely ROCKED her “ignite” talk at the close of the conference. But as I attended each successive day of the conference, I also fell in love with principles of connected learning and became deeply impressed with the thoughtfulness of conference organizers, presenters, and attendees.

Prepare for Popcorn Robotics

Robots have always been cool and futuristic. Since we live in such ultra-modern times we’re seeing more and more of them, whether it’s to clean our floors, drive our cars or even give us extra limbs. But usually the focus is on what robots can now do, and less on what actually powers their abilities.

Not today: A team of Cornell engineers has shown how to power simple robots not with electricity or hydraulics, but popcorn. You know, like the kind you eat.

Lennon or McCartney?: We May Finally Have The Answer

In interviews, John Lennon and Paul McCartney have explained that, though they were listed as co-writers for Beatles tunes, one or the other usually wrote most of a song.

McCartney wrote most or all of “Yesterday,” “Martha My Dear” and “Lady Madonna,” for example. Lennon wrote most or all of “Revolution,” “Help” and “Sexy Sadie.” Both had songwriting tendencies that enabled fans to usually figure out the primary writer. McCartney was more melodic and covered a broader range of topics in h

This AI Calculates at the Speed of Light

Signals in the brain hop from neuron to neuron at a speed of roughly 390 feet per second. Light, on the other hand, travels 186,282 miles in a second. Imagine the possibilities if we were that quick-witted.

Well, computers are getting there.

Researchers from UCLA on Thursday revealed a 3D-printed, optical neural network that allows computers to solve complex mathematical computations at the speed of light.

In other words, we don’t stand a chance.

What Would You Do With a Third, Mind-Controlled, Robotic Limb?

Just imagine what you could do with a third arm.

You could sip coffee and type an email. You could scratch your nose and play Call of Duty. You could solve the Rubik’s cube and conduct a symphony. You could play Ping-Pong and knit a sweater. Clearly, we could all use a third arm.

Fortunately, giving us a hand with a third arm might be a promise science can deliver on, like, soon. That’s because engineers at the Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute in Japan recently showed off
