Eurobike 2022 is well and truly behind us now, but with so much new technology, accessories and items on display, our galleries just keep coming. In this six-day section, we continue our coverage of Europe’s largest bicycle fair, taking a look at a range of gear including helmets, new kits, and some exciting wireless technology. Follow the link to see all of our coverage of Eurobike 2022 including our five previous galleries and lots of other tech news and features. MET features two new children’s helmets. The updated Crackerjack is designed to be a no-fuss and good-looking kid’s helmet. There’s a removable visor on the front, plenty of ventilation, and an anti-inset mesh. On the back are adjustable ratchet-mounted LEDs, plus plenty of coverage. MET also featured a younger Hooray MIPS children’s helmet. The helmet is available in two sizes: XS 46-52 cm and S 52-55cm. Hurray also gets LEDs on the back. But its main feature is the inclusion of the MIPS-C2 r...

Summary: The newly developed system uses wireless technology to remotely activate certain brain networks in fruit flies in less than a second. Source: Rice University A research team led by Rice University neuroscientists has created wireless technology to remotely activate certain brain circuits in fruit flies in less than a second. In a demonstration published in Natural Ingredients Researchers from Rice, Duke University, Brown University and Baylor College of Medicine used magnetic signals to activate target neurons that control the body position of fruit flies that move freely in the cage. “To study the brain or to treat neurological disorders, the scientific community is looking for tools that are highly precise, but also minimally invasive,” said study author Jacob Robinson, a professor in electrical and computer engineering at Rice and a member of Rice’s Neuroengineering Initiative. “Remote control of certain neural circuits with magnetic fields is the holy grai...

Researchers from Rice University, Duke University, Brown University and Baylor College of Medicine developed magnetic technology to wirelessly control neural circuits in fruit flies. They used genetic engineering to express heat-sensitive ion channels in neurons that control behavior and iron nanoparticles to activate the channels. When the researchers activated the magnetic field in the fly cage, the nanoparticles converted the magnetic energy into heat, firing channels and activating neurons. An overhead camera filmed the fly during the experiment, and visual analysis showed the genetically modified fly assumed a wing-spreading posture about half a second after receiving the magnetic signal.
