Researchers are the first to create sensory interneurons from stem cells Researchers at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA have, for the first time, coaxed human stem cells to become sensory interneurons — the cells that give us our sense of touch. The new protocol could be a

Laser physicists have found a way to make atomic-force microscope probes 20 times more sensitive and capable of detecting forces as small as the weight of an individual virus. The technique, developed by researchers in the Quantum Optics Group of the Research School of Physics and Engineering, hinges on using laser beams to cool a

Dear Mr. Buffet, Kudos for your op ed article in the New York Times.  We at Innovation Toronto agree that your taxation suggestions could be most helpful and show true leadership at a time when so little appears to be available.  Given the current political climate, action is unlikely to happen soon but in the

The implications for a 3D scanner can be quite cool 3D printing is turning heads these days, especially with do-it-yourselfers. Y Combinator startup Matterport has invented a small scanner, pictured above, that can scan any space or object and create a 3D model. “We turn reality into 3D models and our scanner is 20 times

Exhibiting at this year’s CES, TriCascade showed off their smart home energy system. The system both tracks and manages domestic energy levels. In this set up, a central system communicates with each power outlet to understand energy usage, which in turn helps track which sockets are using power — including those vampire-like chargers. The system
