Everything You Need to Know About Monkeypox, And Why It's Not a Cause For Fear
On 18 May 2022, Massachusetts health officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed a single case of monkeypox in a patient who had recently traveled to Canada. Cases have also been reported in the United Kingdom and Europe.

What Would Happen if Someone Moved at Twice The Speed of Light?
As far as we know, it's not possible for a person to move at twice the speed of light. In fact, it's not possible for any object with the kind of mass you or I have to move faster than the speed of light.

Robotics contest will build a biomimetic robot based on winning entry
More and more, we're finding that by copying nature, we can develop technologies that are capable of performing previously impossible functions. A new contest encourages that kind of thinking, by inviting ideas for nature-inspired robots … and the winning entry will actually be made into a robot.

An Artificial Retina aiming to restore sight for people with damaged retinas.
This medical implant is suitable for people who have damaged photoreceptors (cones and rods) but otherwise a functioning retina, as is the case for many patients suffering from retinitis pigmentosa or advanced dry AMD.
The implant will be inserted subretinally, where photoreceptors are located in a healthy retina. The artificial retina acts as a substitute for the damaged photoreceptors by converting light into a signal the brain can interpret.
This artificial retina is standalone and self-powered by ambient light, using photovoltaic effect: it does not require external power sources or glasses-mounted camera.

New type of 3D printing uses sound waves to build up objects
3D printing typically involves depositing layers of molten plastic, laser-melting powdered metal, or using UV light to harden gelatinous resin. A new technique takes yet another approach, however, by utilizing sound waves.
In the current version of the technique, a transducer is used to send focused pulses of ultrasound through the sides of a chamber, into liquid polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) resin contained within. Doing so produces ultrasonic fields, which cause rapidly oscillating microscopic bubbles to temporarily form at specific points in the resin.
As those bubbles oscillate, the temperature inside them rises to about 15,000 degrees Kelvin (14,727 ºF or 26,540 ºF) and the pressure within them climbs to over 1,000 bar (14,504 psi). Although this sudden increase in temperature and pressure only lasts for picoseconds (trillionths of a second), it causes the resin to solidify at the exact location of the bubble.
