This electronic tattoo allows wearers to control a drone or play video games by sensing muscle movements. Rotex, a Chinese-American tech startup, showed off their invention at the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Rotex has developed one of the world's thinnest and softest biometric sensors which can detect electrical signals from muscle movement and translate them into orders for computerised gadgets. The current version of the patch is disposable, although the company is already working on a tattoo that will last for one week. Imagine being able to pilot drones and play games all with the flick of your finger across your arm.
Technology is moving at such a rapid pace that it can be quite hard to keep up with all the new inventions. Drone have become a mainstay in popular culture in the last few years, but some scientists and engineers from Russia's Voronezh State University may have just invented a new way to pilot them. This drone prototype is designed to be flown with the help of augmented reality glasses that allow the wearer to guide the motion of the quadcopter simply by looking in the direction that he or she wants the drone to go. The team began working on the product began seven years ago but have only now reached the point of testing out their prototype model. With the success of their prototype, the team is now working on improving usability and design, with the hope of exporting their product abroad.

From white-linen tablecloth restaurants to a local burger joint, potatoes for food service make up an estimated 55% of all potato crops sold in the US. But according to Business Insider, American farmers are now stuck with billions of pounds of potatoes they can't sell--or easily dispose of. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the closure of hundreds of thousands of restaurants and other cooked food outlets. That meant potato orders to farmers virtually stopped, leading farms across the country with piles of rotting produce. In Idaho, for example, the going rate for a sack of potatoes has gone from $12 to $3--and it takes a rate of at least $5 a sack for most farmers to break even. All in all, an estimated 1.5 billion pounds of potatoes are trapped in the supply chain across the US.
Aydin (Turkey), 16 July (EFE/EPA), (Camera: Sedat Suna).- A group of field workers prepare the tobacco harvest in the town of Ataeymir, in the city of Aydin, in southwest Turkey. Tobacco was introduced to Anatolia in the early 17th century as a result of the trade that existed in the region with English, Spanish and Italian merchants. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that the government will apply new taxes to this product. FOOTAGE OF THE TOBACCO HARVESTING PROCESS IN THE ATAEYMIR FIELDS IN THE TURKISH CITY OF AYDIN
