Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, unless you are an app developer
Phys.org - latest science and technology news stories - Fa 58 minuts
For every two mobile apps released, one is a clone of an existing app. However, new research published in the INFORMS journal Information Systems Research shows the success of the original app is not always adversely affected by the creation of clone apps. In fact, the study, which was conducted by Carnegie Mellon University researchers, found that whether the copycat app increases or decreases the number of downloads of the original is dependent upon the quality of the copy.

First dynamic spine brace—robotic spine exoskeleton—characterizes spine deformities
Phys.org - latest science and technology news stories - Fa 58 minuts
Spine deformities, such as idiopathic scoliosis and kyphosis (also known as "hunchback"), are characterized by an abnormal curvature in the spine. The children with these spinal deformities are typically advised to wear a brace that fits around the torso and hips to correct the abnormal curve. Bracing has been shown to prevent progression of the abnormal curve and avoid surgery. The underlying technology for bracing has not fundamentally changed in the last 50 years.

New device modulates light and amplifies tiny signals
Phys.org - latest science and technology news stories - Fa 58 minuts
Imagine a single particle, only one-tenth the diameter of a bacterium, whose miniscule jiggles induce sustained vibrations in an entire mechanical device some 50 times larger. By taking clever advantage of the interplay between light, electrons on the surface of metals, and heat, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have for the first time created a plasmomechanical oscillator (PMO), so named because it tightly couples plasmons—the collective oscillations of electrons at the surface of a metal nanoparticle—to the mechanical vibrations of the much ... més »

Leap Motion dice tener unas gafas estilo 'HoloLens' de sólo 100 dólares para "vivir" la realidad aumentada
[image: Project North Star] *Leap Motion* es una de esas compañías veteranas en el segmento de realidad virtual y aumentada, quienes gracias a sus desarrollos han sido percibidos como adelantados a su época. Sin embargo, siempre se han mantenido fiel su filosofía de que ellos no diseñan hardware y todos sus esfuerzos son hacia el software. Pues sin traicionar esta filosofía, Leap Motion está presentando el diseño y las bases de un casco de realidad aumentada muy al estilo HoloLens de Microsoft, la diferencia es que ellos no lo van a fabricar ya que será open source para que cualq... més »
