Health Research Science Scutoid Shapes

Squares and circles are so basic. Get down with this new shape, the scutoid.

sudshr47 July 28, 2018

There’s been an exciting, new development in the action-packed world of geometric shapes.

Researchers from the the University of Seville and Seville Institute of Biomedicine have discovered a new shape that’s been dubbed the “scutoid.” And what a wonderful little discovery it is.

Scutoid is the shape adopted by epithelial cells — the cells that line the inside and outside of your body, helping to define its shape — to allow tissue to fold and curve.

“The epithelial cells are the ‘construction blocks’ with which an organism is formed,” said University of Seville faculty member Luisma Escudero in a press release announcing the discovery. “They are like pieces of Tente or Lego from which animals are made.” Read more…

Teaching computers to plan for the future

sudshr47 June 15, 2018

As humans, we’ve gotten pretty good at shaping the world around us. We can choose the molecular design of our fruits and vegetables, travel faster and farther and stave off life-threatening diseases with personalized medical care. However, what continues to elude our molding grasp is the airy notion of “time” — how to see further […]

RAD is a new system to help the visually impaired play racing games

sudshr47 March 8, 2018 Startups

A PhD candidate in Computer Science at Columbia Engineering, Brian A. Smith, created a new system for blind gamers who want to get a little racing in. The system, called racing auditory display or RAD, is truly amazing. It lets the visually impaired play racing games without “seeing” the screen. Instead, the audio output tells the player when they’re getting closer to an edge… Read More
