An international group of inter-disciplinary scientists in oncology,
plasmonics, nano-fabrication, microfluids, and surface chemistry have
developed a detection device that can identify cancer in the blood long
before any detection device available now. Though many years and many
scientists have contributed to its development, the cancer detector and
tracker is deceptively simple-looking and fits on a chip that’s only a few square
centimeters in size.
Is it getting to be a pain (literally) to get in and out of your car?
What about turning your head half way around to see what is in your

When you hear about or see designs that can really help people lead fuller lives, you want them available – now! That’s how MIT’s FingerReader
hit me. Well, I said, to no one in particular, if you can prototype it,
get it done, roll it out, let people who are blind or visually impaired
have access to it – right now! The FingerReader is something they will want.
One thing boomers learn fast: Medicare and other insurance plans don’t
pay for hearing aids. And those buggers can cost up to $4,000 – $5,000 a
pair. There’s perhaps no one who knows these facts better than the man
who invented the Lyric hearing aid, which, on a subscription basis,
cost that much per pair per year! Now, that man, Adnan Shannib,
has invented iHear, the hearing aid for the 99 percent of us who would
love to hear, but can’t afford those Lyric prices. It’s the iHear, and
wait ’til you see what’s different about these hearing aids!
