In order to grow big and strong, plants require the red and blue light that are part of the visible “white” light produced by the sun. Scientists have now developed a plant-boosting film, that converts the sun’s UV light into more red light.Continue Re… Continue reading Thin film boosts plant growth by converting sun’s UV rays into red light
Insulated vacuum flasks (aka “thermoses”) may keep liquids warm for a while, but they do have their limits. The Kimos flask addresses this shortcoming by heating the water within it to a boil, in just three minutes.Continue ReadingCategory: Outdoors, L… Continue reading Kimos vacuum flask boils its contents at the press of a button
While there already are automated lifeguarding systems for home swimming pools, Mylo is claimed to be different. Among other things, it utilizes dual cameras and artificial intelligence to spot swimmers who may be in trouble.Continue ReadingCategory: A… Continue reading Mylo lifeguarding tech uses AI to watch over swimmers in pools
In order to more closely simulate real cycling, there are now stationary bikes that the rider can lean to either side. Currently on Kickstarter, the Austrian-designed Curveplate system allows conventional exercise bikes to do the same thing.Continue Re… Continue reading Curveplate adds leaning functionality to stationary bikes
Although they may look like just another set of strap-on electric roller skates, the Moonwalkers are actually a bit different. You walk as you’re wearing them, with their motorized wheels increasing your walking speed by a claimed 250 percent.Continue … Continue reading Moonwalkers give users a powered boost as they walk
When mountain biking over rough terrain, a fair bit of effort goes into keeping the front wheel from being deflected to one side by roots, rocks or other obstacles. Canyon Bicycles has set out to make things easier, with its KIS self-centering steering… Continue reading Canyon introduces KIS self-centering steering for mountain bikes
Surgeons are increasingly turning to less-invasive techniques, such as utilizing long, thin needles – instead of scalpels – to access targets within the body. A new needle, with a steerable tip, could make such procedures faster and easier.Continue Rea… Continue reading ARC surgical needle uses a steerable tip to hit targets

Three years ago we heard about SwitchBot Curtain, a system that allows users to open and close their curtains either on a programmed schedule or by remote control. Well, the SwitchBot company is now back with Blind Tilt, which does the same thing for V… Continue reading SwitchBot Blind Tilt brings programmable remote control to window blinds
