Now, you can touch the virtual objects, thanks to a new pair of gloves. Gloveone, the new green and black gloves from Spain-based tech company Neurodigital Technologies, will let you actually feel sensations like shape
and weight when interacting with virtual objects. The developers claim that the wearers will be able to feel rain and fire,
The gloves also include a 9-Axis inertial measurement unity (IMU) sensor, which can be placed beneath the gloves.
An IMU sensor, often used to manoeuvre aircraft, can record velocity, orientation and gravitational forces using accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers.
The company describes the sensation of wearing these gloves as a ealistic perceptual illusion meaning that you can feel the weight of a virtual object the same as it is in real life
and created a Kickstarter page to finance manufacturing the gloves. People can buy the gloves fitted in three sizes.
Each nti-bacterial, sweat-proofpair features a Bluetooth wireless connection and offers more than four hours of battery life.

#Silk-based functional inks put biosensor data on your fingertips Although we've seen"bio-inks"that allow sensors to be drawn directly on a person's skin
Researchers at Tufts University have developed now silk-based inks containing bacteria-sensing agents that can withstand the rigors of inkjet printing,
The breakthrough comes courtesy of a purified silk protein called fibroin which is strong enough to stabilize various types of compounds, such as antibodies, enzymes, nanoparticles, antibiotics and growth factors, by acting as a protective"cocoon"."
if we were able to develop an inkjet-printable silk solution, we would have a universal building block to generate multiple functional printed formats that could lead to a wide variety of applications in which inks remain active over time,
The researchers doped the silk ink base with different bio-compounds to create a set of functional,
inkjet-printable silk inks and tested them. Their creations included: an ink with bacterial-sensing polydiacetylenes (PDAS),

#Tissue Engineering Scaffolds Produced from Natural Silk in Iran Abstract: Iranian researchers produced biocompatible and biodegradable nanocomposite scaffolds by using a type of natural silk with no cellular toxicity observed in the experiments.
Silk fibroin is a natural polymer produced by various insects. This substance has applications in the production of tissue engineering scaffolds as a biological material due to its appropriate mechanical properties and computability.
It can also be used in the production of artificial skin or other medical stuff. In this research, nanocomposite scaffold was made of silk fibroin,
chitosan and alumina through freeze drying method. The produced scaffold has a homogenous structure with pore sizes of 135-148 micrometers."
Based on the results, the interaction between the organic and inorganic phases increases mechanical properties and water sorption of silk fibroin/chitosan/alumina scaffold.
