A new navigation tool to help blind and partially sighted people find their way around city streets is about to be tested under a new European project. The handheld device uses advanced European Space Agency (Esa) satellite technology to locate and guide pedestrians in real-time over a wireless internet connection.

Technology helps Parents track kids:

New cell phones and ID chips help parents keep a virtual eye on their children anytime, anywhere.

LED Technology:

The science and technology that astronauts use to heal flesh wounds they receive while circling Earth could soon help the rest of us gravity-bound humans when we have persistent injuries that won’t heal. Light-emitting diodes, otherwise known in NASA lingo as LEDs – originally developed for NASA Space Shuttle plant growth experiments – have been found to be helpful in speeding up healing in outer space when astronauts got injured. Now doctors in certain parts of the country are beginning to experiment with them for the treatment of persistent wounds in hospitals, especially in patients that have chronic wounds and sores from chemotherapy and radiation.
