Know Your Jewels

Gemstone or Jewel?

Gemstone or jewel is simply a mineral with a crystalline structure. Gemstones are created through time by natural forces occurring deep within the earth's crust. An assortment of minerals and trace elements, melted together by extreme temperature and pressure, conspire to form a crystal. Those crystals will eventually find its way to the surface via volcanic eruption or seismic uplifting, and ultimately, into the jewellery store to our finger, neck or in ear! Gemstones come in every conceivable geometric shape, and in every colour of the rainbow.

A Robotic Hand With Feelings

The researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, have found a way to implant sensations in prosthetics (artificial body parts). This advancement has led to amazing results in Dennis Aabo Sorensen’s life, a Dutchman who lost his hand nine years ago in a fireworks accident. He is now able to feel different kinds of pressure on three fingers of a prosthetic robotic hand.
