For most of gaming history, the people you met inside a game could say only what a writer had scripted for them. Ask a guard something off-script and you got silence or a canned line. NVIDIA wants to change that, and its latest developer update shows how close the company thinks we are. In an October 27 post on the NVIDIA Technical Blog, the company laid out a bundle of AI tools for its new RTX Spark PC platform: a small language model built to run game characters on the device itself, a faster...

Ali Khademhosseini and Team of Researchers at Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) in California have developed smart contact lenses that can diagnose cancer from tears
Scientists from the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) have developed a contact lens that can capture and detect exosomes, nanometer-sized vesicles found in bodily secretions which have the potential for being diagnostic cancer biomarkers. The lens was designed with microchambers bound to antibodies that can capture exosomes found in tears. This antibody- conjugated signaling microchamber contact lens (ABSM-CL) can be stained for detection with nanoparticle-tagged specific anti...

Professor Amir Zarrinpar at the University of California–San Diego’s research shows Diabetes could be cured by using bacteria from healthy person’s Fecal Microbiota Transplantation
New research has found that diabetes could be cured using healthy people's poop. Professor Amir Zarrinpar, of the University of California–San Diego's research show promsing resuts.
Scientists have long tried to introduce genetically engineered bacteria into the gut to treat diseases.
Experiments found microscopic organisms transplanted into mice stopped the progression of diabetes—and the technique could end the need for painful insulin injections for human patients in the future.

MIT engineers develop stickers that can see inside the body. New stamp-sized ultrasound adhesives produce clear images of heart, lungs, and other internal organs.
Ultrasound imaging is a safe and noninvasive window into the body’s workings, providing clinicians with live images of a patient’s internal organs. To capture these images, trained technicians manipulate ultrasound wands and probes to direct sound waves into the body. These waves reflect back out to produce high-resolution images of a patient’s heart, lungs, and other deep organs.
Currently, ultrasound imaging requires bulky and specialized equipment available only in hospitals and doctor’s ...

University of Southampton – Scientists create tomatoes genetically edited to bolster vitamin D levels. The tomatoes contain as much provitamin D3 as two eggs
Scientists have created genetically edited tomatoes, each containing as much provitamin D3 – the precursor to vitamin D – as two eggs or a tablespoon of tuna.
The tomato plants were created by making tiny changes to an existing tomato gene using an editing technique called Crispr-Cas9. “It’s like a pair of molecular tweezers, which you can use to precisely snip out a very small fragment of the gene to enhance a desirable trait in plants a lot quicker than traditional breeding process, and wi...

‘Heat Battery’ A heat battery based on salt and water – Eindhoven University of Technology
The heat battery is based on an old thermochemical principle, which is that when water is added to salt it produces heat. The reverse is also possible, whereby heat can be used to evaporate the water, thus storing the heat energy inside the salt.
Storing heat within dry salt makes the battery completely loss-free, providing an incredibly efficient way to store energy for future use. This is particularly useful when energy supply is coming from renewable sources, such as wind and solar, which...

Microsoft’s Pluton security chip
The Microsoft Pluton is a security processor, pioneered in Xbox and Azure Sphere, designed to store sensitive data, like encryption keys, securely within the Pluton hardware, which is integrated into the die of a device’s CPU and is therefore more difficult for attackers to access, even if they have physical possession of a device. This design helps ensure that emerging attack techniques cannot access key material.
