Engineers have come up with a different type of wireless communication that sends ultra low-power magnetic fields through the human body. This makes it extraordinarily more energy efficient and ...

Magnetic field human body communication means the signal is not transmitted beyond the human body. Mr Park said: 'Increased privacy is desirable when you're using your wearable devices to transmit ...

Meanwhile, a team of scientists at the Utilities Threshold Initiative Consortium (UTIC) has been busy working to figure out the threshold at which the human body shows a physiological response to a ...

Accompanying those electrical signals are tiny magnetic fields that have only recently been tapped for information into how the human body works. “Our natural magnetic fields offer a different ...

Inspired by the field of optogenetics, which controls certain genetically altered neurons with light, South Korean scientists have employed a similar technique using magnetic fields. In a series ...

Researchers have developed a tiny, flexible robot that could crawl through earthquake rubble to locate survivors or travel inside the human body to deliver medicine. These soft robots, made from ...

Robots without batteries, motors or electronics can lack power, but a tiny gearbox driven by an external magnetic field enabled one soft robot to jump almost 40 times its height ...

Human neuroimaging Researchers in Massachusetts are developing a human brain-scale MPI scanner with a mechanically rotated, permanent magnet-based field-free line. (Courtesy: Lawrence Wald) Magnetic ...
