As a minimally invasive tool for imaging features inside living tissues, the extremely thin endoscope could enable a variety of research and medical applications, they said. The lensless fibre endoscope is approximately the size of a needle, allowing it to have minimally invasive access and high-contrast imaging as well as stimulation with a robust calibration against bending or twisting of the fibre
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IITM) have developed a Multimodal Robotic System with good grasping, manipulation and locomotion abilities for use in industrial and field applications, the IITM said on Wednesday.

The poles of Mercury and the Moon are among the coldest places in our solar system. Unlike Earth, the spin axes of Mercury and the Moon are oriented such that, in their polar regions, the Sun never rises high above the horizon.
India on Sunday test-fired a sophisticated all-weather and all-terrain Quick Reaction Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM) from a test range in Odisha. The state-of-the-art missile has been developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for the India Army.
India's second lunar mission, Chandrayaan-2, will land on moon on September 7 after crossing varied phases. Those who want to watch the landmark event Live with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they definitely stand a chance. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will begin an Online Space Quiz, starting off on August 10 and ending on August 20.
Chandrayaan-2 camera has captured five never-seen-before shots of the earth from LI4. On August 2, Chandrayaan-2 marked the successful completion of the fourth orbit raising maneuver. The last earth bound maneuver is planned on August 6, 2019.
"Tidewater glaciers around the globe -- in Greenland, Alaska, Antarctica and beyond -- are retreating and raising sea levels globally, submarine melting has been implicated as a trigger for this glacier retreat, but we have had no direct measurements of melting, let alone how it might vary in time," said study co-author Rebecca Jackson from Rutgers University in the US.
The Moon was formed about 50 million years after the solar system came into being, according to a study which suggests that the lunar body is significantly older than previously believed.
