A 3D-printed robotic hand can grasp an egg or a one-liter bottle

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General1 September 2026 at 12:30

A 3D-printed robotic hand was developed by a team of South Korean scientists. The device uses a highly elastic, rubber-like material that can be printed in three dimensions.

The robotic hand can perform very precise movements, which represents a significant advancement in the field of flexible robotics. The combination of the elastic material with 3D printing technology allows for this precision in movements.

One of the main achievements of the device is its ability to grasp small and heavy objects simultaneously, such as an egg or a one-liter bottle. This versatility demonstrates the practical potential of the technology for future applications.

Google imposes new memory limits on Android as "RAMageddon" changes the rules of the industry

Google announced February 2027 as the deadline for all Android applications to comply with strict memory limits, in a direct response to the growing pressure on RAM resources on devices. This measure, dubbed "RAMageddon", represents a significant change in industry rules, forcing developers to optimize their apps to function within more restrictive memory parameters, potentially affecting thousands of applications in the Android ecosystem.
