Third? Where is my second thumb?

If it can’t help me on Black Ops 6, keep it.

2 thumbs are enough for me, no research shows that people need more, if so, evolution would have handled it

Cambridge researches developed a “third thumb” device that is operated by pressure sensors under the foot. Sounds pretty unintuitive to use but they ran a test with 600 subjects (age 3 to 96) and 596 (99.3%) were able to pass the grasping tests in minutes. Looks like anyone that wants to peel a banana with one hand will soon be in luck. Link:

Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen have developed a snail-like robotic swarm that can connect to form larger structures. These robots use a two-mode adhesive system inspired by land snails, allowing both movement and strong connections. They introduced this system in 2024, and tests show it can travel on rough terrain, climb obstacles, and combine to handle more complex tasks.

We can also quantify the fungi colonisation of plant roots. For many years scientists have had to do this by manually counting fungi structures. Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU) scientists have developed a deep learning software that can now count them for you called AMFinder
