The gut and the brain communicate with each other via hormones, neurotransmitters and nerve signals. The gut-brain axis has been implicated in a variety of conditions, including obesity, anxiety and depression. Continue reading The gut-brain axis: New therapeutic approaches and R&D
Collaborative robotics is an emerging technology that enables robots to work together in close proximity with humans. This type of robotics has the potential to transform manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, medicine, and other fields. Continue reading Collaborative robotics: Building robots that can safely work with humans
Thermal energy storage is a technology that can store heat or cold energy for a period of time, so it can be used on demand. Continue reading Thermal energy storage: Some recent developments
See how new kinds of aircraft, satellite-based sensors, computing infrastructure, and other technologies help improve weather forecasting. Continue reading 5 emerging technologies for better weather forecasting
Synthetic aperture enables not just smaller satellites for earth observation, but also medical imaging devices such as portable ultrasound. Continue reading Synthetic aperture: Using signal processing to get better images with smaller, more affordable hardware
PowerPoint and information management systems aren’t made for collecting and organizing tech discovery findings. Here is a better way, so that you can focus on using information, rather than managing it. Continue reading How you can organize your tech discovery findings, using tools you already have–without ending up in ‘information management process hell’
Bioreactors create environments for organisms, so that these organisms can produce or recycle materials in sustainable ways. Continue reading Bioreactors: Using organisms for making food and materials, 3D printing, and recycling
