For years scientists have tried to build an electronic tongue, a robotic tasting device that could have profound applications in improving food quality and safety. But before machines learn to taste their food, they first need to learn how to chew it. Scientists report the design of an artificial mouth that mimics the first vital steps of human digestion -- chewing, saliva release and the initial breakdown of food. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago tags munch-o-matic artificial mouth chewing saliva digestion |

Scientists in Switzerland are reporting that bacteria in the human mouth play a role in creating the distinctive flavors of certain foods. They found that these bacteria actually produce food odors from odorless components of food, allowing people to fully savor fruits and vegetables. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago 0 comments edit related share science |

Artificial wombs and experiments on human embryos grown in the lab will be commonplace and no big deal ethically in 30 years, several scientists predict. They envision a scenario just like test-tube babies, which shocked us 30 years ago but now are fairly routine and acceptable to most people. picked by deEPCHIll 1 year ago 2 comments edit related share science |

A dazzling white smile might be essential for Hollywood stars. But those glow-in-the-dark teeth aren't right for most people, according to scientists who have worked out a formula for the perfect smile. They took several factors into account, including the size and width of each tooth, the curve, colour and shape of the teeth and the overall width of the mouth. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago 6 comments edit related share science |

She has been named Beauty, though this eagle is anything but. Part of Beauty's beak was shot off several years ago, leaving her with a stump that is useless for hunting food. A team of volunteers is working to attach an artificial beak to the disfigured bird, in an effort to keep her alive. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago 3 comments edit related share science |

Italians scientists have developed a new artificial bone made from wood should be an improvement over the plastic and metal that are now used for implants. Derived from organic material, the new bone substitute will promote faster healing. To create the bone substitute, the scientists start with a block of wood — red oak, rattan and sipo work best — and heat it until all that rema... read full post picked by Bingo 4 months ago 3 comments edit related share science |

A groundbreaking electronic device will allow blind people to 'see' using their tongues, scientists have claimed. The extraordinary technology takes pictures filmed by a tiny camera and turns the information into electrical pulses which can be felt on the tongue. 1 comments edit related share plime.comTests show that the nerves send messages to the brain which turn these tingles back into pictures. picked by Bingo 3 months ago |
