NEW EXO SUIT -FABRIC COULD BOOST MOBILITY IN PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES:
                                 EXOSUIT FABRIC:

Exosuit fabric could help create soft exoskeletons that people with disabilities could wear under their clothes to help them walk,according to new research.
Textile processing is one of humanity's oldest technologies,but in recent years there has been renewed interest in using it to create "smart"textiles that can do everything from harvest power from the environment to moniter our health.
Now,swedish researchers have created actuators-devices that convert energy into motion from cellulose yarn coated with a polymer that reacts to electricity.These fibers were then woven and knitted using standard industrial machienes to create textile actuators ,dubbed "textuators"by the researchers.

Exoskeletons can be used to boost human's weight lifting abilities or help the disabled walk.Hidden exoskeletons to help the elderly,help those recouvering from injury,maybe one day make disabled people walk again.these textiles were then coated with conducting polymer called polypyrrole.(ppy)using a process similar to how commercial fabrics are dyed.
"EXOSUIT FABRIC CAN HELPS THE INJURED , DISABLED PERSON TO WALK AND MAKE MOVEMENS BY THEIR OWN WITH THE PNEUMATIC SYSTEMS"

It has helped propel cars — and thus humanity — forward for more than 100 years. But a sea change is afoot that is forecast to kick gas-powered vehicles to the curb, replacing them with cars that run on batteries. A flurry of news this week underscores just how rapidly that change could happen. A quick recap: On Monday, Tesla announced that the Model 3, its mass-market electric car, would start rolling off production lines this week with the first handful delivered to customers later this month. Then on Wednesday, Volvo announced that every car it produces will have a battery in it by 2019, putting it at the forefront of major car manufacturers. Then came France’s announcement on Thursday that it would ban the sale of gas-powered cars by 2040. All this news dropped just in time for Bloomberg New Energy Finance's latest electric

Robotic Arm Turns Your Digital Doodles into Good Old-Fashioned Sketches A small robotic arm can bring your digital sketches to life, by re-creating your on-screen drawings with a pen and paper. The robotic drawing arm was designed by a team of researchers, who combined their knowledge of kinetic art,  drawing machines  and internet-connected microprocessor chips to develop the idea. The arm, dubbed Line-us, mimics the user's drawing motions to re-create a digital sketch with pen and paper, by connecting to an app via Wi-Fi. At its heart, the machine was developed to be a device for people to play with, said Robert Poll, a technologist and one of Line-us' co-founders. [ The 6 Strangest Robots Ever Created ] We wanted to create a product that was engaging and fun, rather than something that solved a particular problem or fulfilled a need," Poll told Live Science. "Our hope is that Line-us encourages people to doodle and draw, but also to find new and

Martian Gardens' Help Scientists Find the Best Veggies to Grow on Mars Simulated "Martian gardens" allow NASA scientists to test which plants can be grown on Mars. This photo shows the results of a preliminary study on lettuce plants. From left to right: lettuce seeds grown in potting soil, Martian simulant with added nutrients, and simulant without nutrients. Credit: NASA/Dimitri Gerondidakis Simulated "Martian gardens" are helping NASA scientists learn which plants astronauts might be able to grow on the Red Planet. A human round-trip journey to Mars may take as long as two and a half years, and one major challenge for these kinds of extended missions is determining how to pack enough food for those astronauts. As such, scientists are studying ways for astronauts to grow their own crops and extend their food supply, because seeds take up less room and have a l
