In most delivery-by-drone systems, cargo has to be packed into system-specific containers, or must fit inside a designated onboard compartment. The new RDS2 setup, however, can transport almost any shape or size of parcel, weighing as much as 10 kg (22… Continue reading RDS2 tech lets drones carry – and drop-deliver – all sorts of parcels
Getting a bandage to stick to your skin can sometimes be difficult, particularly if that skin is wet. This isn’t a problem with an experimental new wound dressing however, which uses ultrasound-induced microbubbles to better bond with the skin.Continue… Continue reading Hydrogel bandage uses ultrasound to better stick to the skin
In wastewater produced by the textile industry and others, dye is one of the primary pollutants. A newly developed synthetic polymer is capable of removing that dye from the water, plus it can be cleaned up and reused to treat more wastewater.Continue … Continue reading New polymer removes dye from wastewater, and can be reused afterwards
While the farming of salmon does help take pressure off wild stocks, the feed used to raise the fish still isn’t entirely sustainably sourced. That may change, however, thanks to nutrient-rich worms that eat readily available seaweed.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Worms raised on seaweed could be a more sustainable salmon feed
In recent years, we’ve heard about efforts to replace some of the aggregate used in concrete with crumbled used tires. Now, however, scientists have succeeded in producing good quality concrete in which all of the aggregate has been replaced with tire … Continue reading Scientists create quality concrete with 100% tire-rubber aggregate
Patients who remain in bed for long periods of time may develop pressure sores, which can in turn become potentially life-threatening chronic skin ulcers. A new sensor could help keep that from happening, using scattered light.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Optical fiber sensor could keep patients from developing bed sores
While prehistoric insects encased in amber certainly are fascinating, they usually don’t look all that different from today’s insects. A newly discovered one, however, is so bizarre that it has been placed in its own unique family.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Fossil bug-eyed insect is weird enough to merit its own distinct family
While many sidewalk-travelling commuters might sometimes appreciate a powered boost, they may not want to carry around an electric scooter or skateboard. That’s where Airtrick’s E-Skates come in, as they can be quickly strapped onto the user’s existing… Continue reading Airtrick E-Skates quickly add powered wheels to users’ shoes
Many campers protect their outdoor seating area from the rain by covering it with a tarpaulin, suspended between nearby trees. The Shelter takes what looks like an easier, more versatile approach, as it’s a stand-alone tarp that can be put up anywhere…. Continue reading Shelter by Cinch takes the humble camping tarp out of the trees
When we think of animals that work together to hunt prey, we typically think of creatures such as wolves or orcas. Common bats may soon be added to that list, as a new study suggests that they show each other where the tasty insects can be found.Contin… Continue reading Study suggests “networking” bats work together to find food faster
