This Wearable Muscle Sensor Could Transform Rehabilitation and Robotic Mobility

Researchers at the University of Queensland have developed a new type of sensor that can measure how hard muscles are working without needles, surgery or other invasive procedures. The breakthrough could help create smarter robotic limbs, wearable exoskeletons and rehabilitation devices that respond more naturally to a person’s movements. The study was published in Science […]

This smart wearable patch vibrates to warn you of dangerous gases and toxic water

Imagine wearing a small patch that can instantly warn you if you are exposed to dangerous gases or contaminated water. Instead of sending an alert to your phone that you might not notice right away, the patch vibrates against your skin, giving you an immediate warning to move away from danger. Researchers at North Carolina […]

Foxconn teria iniciado produção em massa dos iPhones “18 Pro” e “18 Pro Max”

Segundo o que foi reportado por fontes de cadeia de suprimentos, a Foxconn já teria dado o pontapé inicial na produção em massa do “iPhone 18 Pro” e do “iPhone 18 Pro Max”, os próximos smartphones topos-de-linha da Apple.

A informação partiu do portal de notícias chinês MyDrivers, o qual afirmou que a principal fabricante contratada da Apple iniciaria em breve seu período de pico de contratações para dar conta desse estágio de aumento da produção em massa, já iniciado no mês de julho.

As novidades dos iPhones “18 Pro” incluem, segundo os rumores, uma redução de 35% no tamanho da Ilha Dinâmica (Dynamic Island), a implementação de uma lente com abertura variável no sensor principal de 48 megapixels — essa especulação, vale lembrar, ganhou força após a informação ser citada no vazamento da Tata Electronics, fornecedora indiana da Apple —, a estreia do chip “A20 Pro” (que poderá contar com novas tecnologias de encapsulamento) e do modem “C2” (que deverá ser compatível com redes 5G via satélite).

Pela primeira vez, a Apple deverá segregar o lançamento dos novos iPhones, separando os modelos tradicionais dos da linha Pro: tanto o “18 Pro” quanto o “18 Pro Max” deverão ser anunciados em setembro ao lado do “iPhone Ultra” — a estreia da Apple no segmento de celulares com telas dobráveis —, enquanto lançamentos como a segunda geração do iPhone Air, o “iPhone 18” e o “iPhone 18e” deverão ficar para o começo do ano que vem.

iPhone 17 Pro Max

Cores: prateado, laranja-cósmico ou azul-intenso
Armazenamento: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB ou 2TB
R$ 10.999,00
R$ 12.499,00

iPhone 17 Pro

Cores: prateado, laranja-cósmico ou azul-intenso
Armazenamento: 256GB, 512GB ou 1TB

Render do “iPhone 18 Pro” exibe lente com abertura variável e reforça vazamentos

Em mais um dos seus tradicionais vídeos comentados com renders, o YouTuber Jon Prosser tratou do “iPhone 18 Pro”, previsto para chegar ao mercado no mês de setembro.

O foco da vez é a câmera com abertura variável, um dos aguardados principais diferenciais do “18 Pro” em relação ao seu antecessor.

Relembrando os feitos do Modo Retrato (Portrait Mode), Prosser explica que a abertura variável — que foi inclusiva “confirmada” pelo megavazamento da fornecedora indiana Tata Electronics — poderá contribuir com capturas de fotos mais naturais com mais ou menos profundidade de campo. Quanto menor ela for, mais borrado fica o plano de fundo (efeito chamado na fotografia de bokeh). Ele considera esse uma das maiores melhorias dos iPhones, embora pouco perceptível à primeira vista.

O restante do vídeo menciona a escolha de design pela continuidade do alumínio, as cores — fazendo coro às especulações de azul claro, cereja escuro, cinza escuro e prata —, a Ilha Dinâmica (Dynamic Island) reduzida — já abordada em outro vídeo do mesmo canal sobre o aparelho —, o chip “A20 Pro” (de 2nm, com a especulada ampliação de quase 15% em performance e 30% em eficiência energética se comparado ao A19 Pro), o empacotamento do tipo Wafer-level Multi-Chip Module (WMCM) — acoplando CPU, GPU, Neural Engine e memória na mesma placa —, a bateria de 4.288mAh no modelo menor e 5.567mAh no “18 Pro Max”, além do modem “C2”, que poderá contar com suporte ao 5G via satélite (também abordado em outro vídeo do “18 Pro”).

O vídeo encerra provocando a indagação sobre o apelo da linha em meio à estreia da linha de dobráveis da Apple com o “iPhone Ultra”, que deverá ser anunciado também em setembro.

This smart knitted fabric can count your steps, turn on lights, and change shape

Knitted fabrics are usually associated with warm sweaters, scarves, and blankets. But researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have shown that knitting can do much more than keep people warm. They have created a new type of smart fabric that can change shape, act like a switch, […]

A Plastic Motor Just Defied a Century of Engineering Assumptions

Electricity Sparks Outside Concept ArtElectrostatic forces enable low-voltage actuation without relying on rare earth materials. Nearly every electric motor in modern life, from the fan on your desk to the motor in an electric vehicle, relies on magnetism. For more than a century, magnetic fields have dominated motor design because electrostatic forces were considered too weak for practical machines. [...]

New electronic ‘nose’ can tell when your food is spoiled

Many people rely on the sniff test to decide whether food is still safe to eat. If milk smells fine or leftovers don’t seem off, we often assume they are okay. But the human nose isn’t always reliable. Every year, millions of people in the United States become sick from food-borne germs that can grow […]
