ETH Zurich has created a wearable muscle or “exomuscle” that can give additional strength to its wearer. It was primarily designed for patients with muscle impairments, but it can potentially help healthy people by providing extra motion endurance. Myoshirt is something people wear, and its artificial muscle fibers (a cable) run parallel to the wearer’s…

Samsung continues to announce ultra-high resolution camera sensors aimed at affordable markets. The company just launched the Samsung ISOCELL HP3, a 200 Megapixel camera sensor featuring exceptionally small sensing pixels. The thing is: smaller pixels aren’t always better, as their size makes it increasingly more difficult to gather photos. Each pixel is only 0.56 μm…
The upcoming Xiaomi 12S Ultra will feature a primary camera powered by the 1-inch type Sony IMX989 camera sensor. Previously, the Sony Xperia PRO-I smartphone and a few others also featured a sensor of similar size. Still, the IMX989 is a new sensor “built for smartphones,” and Xiaomi had some design inputs (including financial) according…
Mobile GPUs lag desktop GPUs by many years in terms of features, so they aren’t always conducive to exciting news coverage. However, hardware Ray-Tracing (RT) on an ARM GPU design is a milestone worth noting. In its new Immortalis-G715 (cool name btw) graphics unit, ARM delivers a 300% performance improvement over the previous software solution…
We have followed Awake since the company introduced good-looking watches made of recycled ocean plastic. However, its new Mission To Earth special edition (250 units) pushes the concept to the (luxury) limits and demonstrates it is possible to build a classy, high-end watch with recycled materials. For instance, the watch’s body is made of 70%…
The Huawei MateBook 16s is the latest evolution of Huawei’s largest premium productivity laptop line. It is based on Intel’s latest 12th generation H-Series mobile processor architecture (up to 14 cores, 60W TDP) but doesn’t feature a discrete GPU, probably to maximize battery longevity. Underneath the surface, Huawei claims to have dramatically improved the cooling…
With smartphone battery capacity essentially stalling around 5000 mAh for size and manufacturing technology reasons, the next best thing is to charge them faster. That’s precisely where many OEMs are heading, including Infinix. Following Ubergizmo, you might have seen Infinix’s 160W fast-charger demonstrated with a concept phone last year. Thunder Charge is even better and…
The idea of a “contact lens display” concept could become the ultimate way of implementing Augmented Reality (AR) someday, but it’s a highly challenging endeavor. MojoVision is one of the companies working to make it happen, and its CEO has demonstrated a Mojo Lens prototype placed on his eye. The Mojo Lens is a contact…
A startup from Finland called Polar Night Energy has developed an energy storage system based on sand. The idea is to store excess energy generated from clean electricity sources such as Wind, Solar, etc., to be reused days or even months later. If it works, it will help solve the primary pain point of intermittent…
Netflix and Sennheiser have announced that Netflix users can experience Spatial Sound, thanks to Sennheiser’s AMBEO technology, regardless of their playback device, irrespective of the physical speaker setup. Obviously, the hardware is still relevant in regards to the sound quality. However, this means that any speaker or headphones hardware can output ‘some’ spatialization. AMBEO is…
