InformationVideo published by Tom Scott In this video, Tom Scott presents a new kind of elevator, perhaps one from the future, capable of moving horizontally as well as vertically. Others had already tried to find workarounds to gain this ability, but those techniques were closer to tricks than to real horizontal movement. The German company...

In our quest to create an ideal society, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) offers new perspectives. Imagine a world where political decisions no longer rest on the shoulders of a president, but are made by sophisticated systems capable of processing massive amounts of data in real time. In this article, we will explore the advantages,...

InformationVideo published by Bloomberg In this video, Alan Jeffries introduces us to the M.I.T Media Lab in Boston in Massachusetts. A technical engineer, Everett Lawson, shows us a prototype he built himself for his own body. It can replace his leg and also let him feel, through electrical impulses, what is happening on the sole of the bionic...

InformationVideo published by Morten Hjordt This video lets us see under the cover of an MRI machine running at full speed. During a repair phase, a doctor took the opportunity to film this huge, very heavy machine in action. Imagine how important it is to distribute the weight properly to absorb such powerful centrifugal force. Also note how...

The healthcare field is undergoing a revolution, and **Artificial Intelligence (AI)** has just taken a decisive step in the field of ophthalmology. Researchers recently published the results of a clinical study validating an AI system capable of **detecting early and with remarkable precision** several serious eye diseases, including...

InformationVideo published by Kirsten Dirksen In this video, Rory Aronson presents his project: an automated gardening system capable of managing a vegetable garden from start to finish with very little assistance. An engineer by training, with a few agriculture courses behind him, the idea quickly took shape in his mind and the project improves a...

InformationVideo published by Stop Autonomous Weapons In this “unreal” video (with a Black Mirror atmosphere), a staged scene projects us into a dark future where drones capable of killing through facial recognition would be used. The idea is probably to send chills down our spines. However, let’s be honest, it would probably not be well...

InformationVideo published by Bertolt Meyer Mr. Meyer has had a prosthesis since he was very young. For some time now, thanks to progress in the field, he has been able to control an artificial hand with thought, like a muscle. He can therefore send different electrical impulses to perform different movements. He is passionate about electronic...

InformationVideo published by Boston Dynamics In this 2-minute advertisement from Boston Dynamics, we get to see a demonstration of the Spot robot. A small four-legged robot that could offer several uses in different fields, as shown in this video sequence. It is presented as agile, customizable, able to move across different types of terrain, and...

InformationVideo published by NASA Yes, as surprising as it may be, it is possible to contact the International Space Station with a simple amateur radio. Of course, you have to wait for the right moment, provided that an astronaut is available and when the station passes above your radio. For that, there is a page on NASA's website that lets you...
