A research team in the Department of Electrical and EIIRIS at Toyohashi University of Technology has developed a donut-shaped kirigami device for EMG recordings. The proposed device reduces device displacement on a large deformable muscle surface. Accurate and robust EMG recordings offer EMG signal-based human-machine interfaces that allow prosthesis control for amputees. The results of

This Charmed review contains spoilers. Charmed Season 2, Episode 8 At the top of the season, I discussed how the show seemed to be taking Macy and Harry’s relationship in a direction I didn’t expect — one that felt out of left field — and, since then, the show has indeed taken their relationship to… strange places.
Bram Stoker’s Dracula was not an instant hit in 1897 when it was first published, despite positive reviews. But the figure of the vampire himself has since become a cultural figure with a status few others have achieved. Consequently, there have been an enormous amount of stage and screen adaptations of the Dracula novel, or featuring
This The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel review contains no spoilers. Midge Maisel’s radical pivot has effected everyone in her life. Mostly we hear them grousing – blaming her, lamenting her unwillingness to fall back in line. But, more than the previous two, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 3 shows how Midge’s gambit has opened up a world of
This Batman article contains spoilers. Tom King is all about reflections. He’s the most prominent formalist working in superhero comics today. For him, “how” tells as much of the story as “why” or “what.” So it’s natural that Alfred’s death in his last story arc on Batman proper is a way for King to examine
