Although aerial drones can travel much faster than their underwater counterparts, they certainly aren’t as good at gathering water-related data. The MEDUSA multi-rotor drone addresses this conundrum, by landing on the water and deploying an underwater … Continue reading MEDUSA aerial drone deploys an underwater pod to gather aquatic data
We’ve seen bike helmets that fold up for storage and transit, plus ones that are equipped with lights. The Fend Super, however, is one of the first to combine both features in one helmet.Continue ReadingCategory: Bicycles, TransportTags: Helmets, Kicks… Continue reading Fend Super bike helmet folds up, and sports integrated lights
According to a new study, two of the main glaciers that make up the Antarctic ice sheet are now melting faster than they have over the past 5,500 years. Ironically, the conclusion is based on how sea levels have seemingly dropped in the region over tim… Continue reading Rising beaches suggest Antarctic glaciers are melting faster than ever
Although there’s no doubt that marine plastic waste pollution is a major environmental problem, there may be at least a small sliver of hope. According to a new study, plastic trash on Australian beaches has actually decreased by almost a third in rece… Continue reading Study reports a big reduction in plastic waste on Australian beaches
Most headlamps just incorporate a lamp unit in the middle, which in some cases can be set to wide and spotlight output modes. The Multi-Beam is different, in that it sports both a central spotlight and a wide half-halo of LEDs.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Multi-Beam headlamp combines an arc of illumination with a spotlight
We’ve been hearing a lot about synthetic skins designed for robotic hands, which would give the devices more human-like qualities. Well, scientists in Japan have gone a step further, by covering a robotic finger in a self-healing skin made from live hu… Continue reading Scientists cover robotic finger with living skin made from human cells
Your smartphone continuously emits Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) signals, even when it isn’t paired to a Bluetooth device. Scientists are now reporting that by analyzing those signals, it could be possible for someone else to track your whereabouts.Contin… Continue reading Study shows how we could be tracked by our phone’s Bluetooth signal
Nerve damage can result in pain that lasts for years, or even a lifetime. There may be new hope, however, as scientists now report that exposing damaged nerves to a cold needle can cause them to regenerate, drastically reducing pain.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Cold needle treatment may reduce pain by regenerating damaged nerves
When remotely controlling an underwater drone in flowing water, it can be difficult to keep the vehicle’s camera trained on a specific target. A new AI-based vision platform, however, allows Qysea Technology’s existing FiFish drones to do so automatica… Continue reading AI upgrade lets Qysea underwater drones visually lock onto targets
In drawings or renderings of dinosaurs, we generally don’t see the beasts sporting human-like belly buttons. The reptiles did have an equivalent to a navel, however, and scientists have recently discovered the first known fossilized example of one.Cont… Continue reading Scientists spot first known fossilized dinosaur “belly button”
