MIT Media Lab: Recompose
Recompose is a new system for manipulation of an actuated surface. By collectively utilizing the body as a tool for direct manipulation alongside gestural input for functional manipulation, they show how a user is afforded unprecedented control over an actuated surface. It was developed by Matt Blackshaw, David Lákatos, Anthony Devincenzi, Daniel Leithinger, Hiroshi Ishii from MIT Media Lab’s Tangible Media Group. They describe a number of interaction techniques exploring the shared space of direct and gestural input, demonstrating how their combined use can greatly enhance creation and manipulation beyond unaided human capability.

There is a clinical need for improved therapy of burn victim patients, for example soldiers who received extreme traumatic burns in the line of duty. Victims suffering from full thickness -3rd degree- burns often die, because the therapy of choice (surgical skin mesh auto grafting) is limited by the availability of healthy skin cell area. read more

self assembly robots
Developed by researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute for Technology (ETH) Zurich, the Distributed Flight Array is a flying platform made up of modules than can drive, dock together and take off – all autonomously.
The Distributed Flight Array is a flying platform consisting of multiple autonomous single propeller vehicles that are able to drive, dock with their peers, and fly in a coordinated fashion. Once in flight the array hovers for a few minutes, then falls back to the ground, only to repeat the cycle again.

Olympus BioScapes: 2010 Winners
The Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition honors the world’s most extraordinary microscope images of life science subjects captured through light microscopes, using any magnification, any illumination technique and any brand of equipment. The thousands of images that people have shared with the competition over the years reflect some of the most exciting work going on in research today, work that can help shed light on the living universe and ultimately save lives. We look at BioScapes and these beautiful images as sources of education and inspiration to us and the world. via Olympus BioScapes
