The researchers at Shanghai jiao tong university find a way to power the cardiac pacemaker with the kinetic energy from the heart itself. The team will present the research paper ” Mechanism on buckled piezoelectric energy harvesting for battery-less heart worn pacemaker” at AIP publishing Horizon- energy storage and conversion virtual conference.   Traditional pacemakers run on a battery power supply to keep the hearts beating the way they should be. The latest research led by Yi and the team tried to figure out battery-less powering and leadless pacing.   “If the…

Facebook reality lab released a paper on “reverse passthrough VR” to help people see the real world while they are in virtual reality. The researchers at FRL developed a technique for bringing your face onto the front of a virtual reality headset so that the outer world can see it.   The term passthrough VR defines a feature that allows live video feed from a headsets camera lets the user see the real world while wearing a VR headset. FRL further reports the people surrounding someone who wears the headset…

A team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has designed and assigned the production of a computer chip that could protect from cyber-attacks using quantum computers. The researchers integrated hardware Trojans in the chip for detecting types of malware from the chip factory.   To prohibit attackers from stealing information from the factory, the communication between the chips in the individual components is encrypted. The conventional processes that can fight off attacks initiated with today’s computer technologies will be defenseless against quantum computers. This is especially critical for equipment with a long lifespan…
