New scavenger technology allows robots to 'eat' metal for energy. This type of energy source could be the basis for a new paradigm in robotics, where machines keep themselves powered by seeking out and "eating" metal, breaking down its chemical bonds for energy like humans do with food.

Portable lab you plug into your phone can diagnose illnesses. It is the size of a credit card and can diagnose infectious diseases such as corona virus, malaria, HIV or Lyme disease. The patient puts a single-use plastic chip into the mouth then plugs that into a slot in the box to test the saliva.

A photovoltaic cell that works at night: "A regular solar cell generates power by absorbing sunlight, which causes a voltage to appear across the device and for current to flow. In these, light is emitted instead and the current and voltage go in the opposite direction, but you still generate power"
