Aircraft of the future make less noise In an Empa research project, study participants rated the noise of new types of aircraft as less annoying than the noise of today's aircraft. Leg prosthesis communicates with the brain thanks to a new interface An international research team led jointly from Zurich and Lausanne has developed a novel interface between leg prostheses and the wearer’s thigh that transmits sensations to the brain. The interface has already enabled two volunteers to walk more easily and has reduced their phantom pain. Like Lego: child's play to assemble stretchable devices An international team led by researchers at NTU in Singapore has developed a universal connector that allows stretchable devices to be assembled easily and quickly using the Lego principle. Clothes that change shape Researchers at MIT have developed a low-cost fibre that is compatible with existing textile manufacturing techniques. It could be used for adaptive performance clothing or compression garments.
