Gofrixty [25 August 2025] – Australians are testing a groundbreaking new bionic eye that can help the blind see. Researchers from the Bionics Institute and their collaborators created the device that’s currently performing well in clinical trials. There is hope for people afflicted with conditions like retinitis pigmentosa, a disorder that destroys the retina and eventually leads to blindness. The bionic eye is part of a smart system. A small electrode array is implanted behind the retina by a doctor. The patient then dons glasses mounted with a small camera. This…

Gofrixty [23 August 2025] – Researchers have designed special contact lenses that could allow humans to see in the dark. These lenses function by transforming invisible infrared light into visible signals our eyes can discern. The concept would feel at home in a superhero movie, but it’s a real research being developed in the realm of modern science. The researchers who developed the lenses covered them in very thin nanomaterials. These materials react to infrared light, typically not visible to the human eye. When the coating is irradiated by infrared…

Gofrixty [21 August 2025] – Scientists and developers are now working on AI tools that can interpret the sounds of cats and dogs. The idea is simple but powerful: turning meows and barks into clear human language. This innovation could change the way pet owners understand their animals, giving them a new level of communication with their furry friends. The technology works by studying thousands of animal sounds and linking them with emotions or needs. For example, a bark may signal hunger, excitement, or a warning. A meow could mean attention, comfort,…

Gofrixty [19 August 2025] – Google has launched Opal, a tool that enables anyone to create their own AI assistants without having to write any code. The introduction is a major push to bring artificial intelligence to the masses, not just developers or large companies. Opal users just text their assistant, sending it a description of what they want it to do. Then, the platform translates those ideas into workflows by linking prompts, tools and A.I. models. For instance, someone might make a helper that summarizes emails, coordinates calendars or even builds…

Gofrixty [18 August 2025] – Researchers in Japan experimental techniques that can wipe away, change or even restore memories in animals without damaging the brain or altering the rest of the animal’s mental function. These advances also bode well for future treatments of PTSD, phobias and even addiction. The researchers did this by targeting particular brain mechanisms. In some labs, scientists over-expressed some proteins, animals remembered traumatic experiences. This treatment wiped out fearful memories while leaving other memories intact. Crucially, the overall structure and functi on of the brain were healthy. Another…

Gofrixty [17 August 2025] – Coperni has again shocked the fashion world, launching the Air Swipe Bag during Paris Fashion Week. In an unprecedented combination, this handbag is not made of a traditional material but NASA silica aerogel, which has been touted as the lightest solid on earth. A 99% air, 1% glass bag that appears almost clear like a cloud and both futuristic and delicate. Weighing just 33 grams, or the equivalent of a standard lightbulb, the Air Swipe Bag It is surprisingly sturdy for its fragile appearance. Aerogel is…
