Viewing the earth from the International Space Station just got easier with the Cupola module, which will provide “360-degree views of the space station, allowing the crew to see directly outside during robotic work.” Continue reading for one more picture.
‘Looking out on the Earth is just inspiring,’ said space station resident Timothy “TJ” Creamer. In fact, it’s the crew’s No. 1 pastime in the off hours – at least it was before the Internet came aboard.

The medical emergencies are unavoidable, therefore trained staff is the best alternative to meet contingency as and when it’s confronted. While training medics in real-life situations isn’t correct and is dangerous, as an alternative, St. Mary’s Hospital in Blue Springs has installed a life-size, anatomically correct pregnant doll or a pregnancy simulator if you will, to train nurses against the complication faced inside a real delivery room.
The patient Novel (doll) has been programmed to deliver a baby named Hal. The simulation exercise gets nurses trying to save the baby Hal, who is in distress. Hal is programmed to simulate any kind of birthing crisis, which trains nurses for all kinds of situations while the simulation also focuses on helping the mother in distress making the entire pregnancy simulation as lifelike as possible.

Eco-Wearable technology is the newest wrinkle on fashion’s face. And, industrial design students at Emily Carr University of Art + Design are ensuring just that. Genevieve Mateyko and Pamela Troyer have designed a soft vest called Detectair, fitted with sensors that alert the wearer about the environmental toxins they are breathing in facilitating an early exit from the place just in case you have entered a dangerous and unhealthy environment.

The two big names from automotive and aerospace industry have combined their inventive skills to develop a range of advanced robots. NASA and General Motors through a Space Act Agreement in collaboration with engineers from Oceaneering Space Systems of Houston have developed Robonaut2 – a.k.a R2, which is the next generation dexterous robot. The robot is said to be faster and dexterous than the previously done robots, and is capable of performing host of tasks from lifting things and writing to shaking hands like a man. The collective attempt here of the two organizations is to build robots that are useful for both automotive and aerospace industries. Follow the jump to see the glimpse of the robotic future.

Computing is steadily moving towards an era when computer chips will be made to transfer data using light instead of electricity, and the entire concept may just have been pushed towards reality by the MIT’s latest invention. MIT has developed the first laser built from germanium that would produce wavelengths of light optimal for optical communication.
The major benefit of this development is that the germanium laser can be easily incorporate into existing processes for manufacturing silicon chips and is able to operate in room temperatures. With the growing needs of data and the needs of higher bandwidth connection, the copper connected chips may be losing out, thus, this new demonstrated laser technology could definitely make a legible and cheaper contender for next-generation of chips.

What is common between Blue Hope Diamond and Pink Panther? They are absolute miracles of nature; stunningly beautiful, these are most expensive natural diamonds in this world. Who could believe that purchasing diamonds that too natural diamonds could become as easy as buying a book online? But, lo and behold the father/ daughter team of Arthur (natural color diamonds expert) and Natacha Langerman (Gemologist) have just made it possible by launching a website to sell gemstones online at the click of a button. The Langerman Diamonds actually brings you to the source and features the first online encyclopedia of natural color diamonds, a blog, and now an incomparable online shop to buy the rarest of diamonds – 1200 stones in 300 hues (Olive, Mint, Gray, Burgundy, Saffron, Indigo …) – at prices that range from $150 to $2 million. It is also possible to purchase engagement rings on the secure site. One can even design one’s own using the “Make Your Jewel” module.

Now, here’s another input device, a spontaneous answer to the alternatives for touchscreens, the Gesture Cube. Brainchild of a group of German companies, the Gesture Cube based on the electric field sensing technology, detects movement and distances in 3D space, thus enabling touch-free gesture control for input. Another way to live the Minority Report stuff, but are we eventually there with it, perhaps the wait here with the Gesture Cube maybe a little distant now but we know it’ll eventually come around. In case you can’t wait to see what this is all about, the hit the jump for a video demonstration of the magical device. To read more on the Gesture Cube click here.
