The 9 Wildest Inventions You Won't Believe Real
The Prosthetic Limb That Can Be Controlled by Thought
Researchers at the John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory have developed a prosthetic limb that can be controlled by the user's thoughts. The limb uses a technology called targeted muscle reinnervation, which involves rewiring the nerves that once controlled the lost limb. By doing this, the user is able to control the prosthetic limb as if it were their own.
The Artificial Intelligence That Can Mimic Any Voice
A company called Lyrebird has developed an artificial intelligence that can mimic the voice of any person, simply by analyzing a recording of that person speaking. The AI is able to recreate the voice with remarkable accuracy, and could potentially be used for a variety of purposes, including creating fake audio recordings and impersonating people over the phone.
The Smart Contact Lenses That Can Monitor Your Health
Researchers at the University of Washington have developed smart contact lenses that can monitor a variety of health metrics, including intraocular pressure, glucose levels, and even brain activity. The lenses are equipped with tiny sensors that are able to detect these metrics, and can transmit the data to a nearby device for analysis.
The 3D-Printed Heart That Could Revolutionize Transplants
Scientists at Tel Aviv University have successfully 3D-printed a heart using a patient's own cells. The heart is functional and was able to pump blood when it was tested in the lab. While it will likely be many years before 3D-printed hearts are used in transplant surgeries, this breakthrough could eventually revolutionize the way we think about organ transplants.
The Smart Pill That Can Diagnose and Treat You From the Inside
A company called Proteus Digital Health has developed a smart pill that can diagnose and treat you from the inside. The pill contains a microchip that is activated when it comes into contact with stomach acid. Once activated, the chip sends a signal to a patch that the patient wears on their skin, which in turn sends the data to a smartphone app. The app is then able to provide the patient with a diagnosis and recommend treatment.
The Exoskeleton That Can Help People Walk Again
A company called ReWalk has developed an exoskeleton that can help people with spinal cord injuries walk again. The exoskeleton is worn on the outside of the body and uses motorized joints to move the legs. It is controlled by a device worn on the user's waist, which the user can use to initiate steps and control the exoskeleton's movements.
The Mind-Reading Headset That Can Translate Thoughts into Speech:
A company called OpenAI has developed a headset that can translate thoughts into speech. The headset uses electrodes to measure brain activity, and is able to interpret the user's thoughts and translate them into speech in real-time. The technology could potentially be used to help people who are unable to speak due to injury or disability.
The Augmented Reality Contact Lenses That Can Enhance Your Vision
A company called Mojo Vision is developing augmented reality contact lenses that can enhance your vision in a variety of ways. The lenses are equipped with tiny displays that can overlay information onto your field of view, allowing you to see things like maps and notifications without having to look at a separate device. The lenses also have the ability to enhance your vision in low light conditions.
The Solar-Powered Road That Can Generate Electricity
A company called Solar Roadways has developed a solar-powered road that can generate electricity. The road is made up of panels that are coated with solar cells, which are able to generate electricity when exposed to sunlight. The electricity can then be used to power homes
