Many augmented reality projects like to cite Minority Report as an inspiration, but MIT's Glove Mouse project takes a very direct cue from the touch-free display manipulations of Tom Cruise's character in the film. In a new video, the glove mouse shows off its wireless stuff.

Like many pieces of modern medical equipment, X-ray machines are as bulky and energy dependent as they are vital. Even "portable" X-ray machines remain too heavy to carry across rough terrain, and too energy hungry to run off batteries. That's why Radius Health's portable,

While three-dimensional printing has come a long way, engineers still struggle with fabricating objects smaller than a 20-cent piece. In those small structures, the upper layers crush and distort the weak lower ones. To solve this problem, researchers at the University of Illinois in the US
