Although a completely flat-surfaced wheel would be aerodynamic, it would also be hard to keep cool – especially during the braking process. An experimental new wheel rim, however, has cooling vents that open as needed … and they’re activated by heat.Co… Continue reading Active Aero Wheel features brake-heat-activated cooling vents
It was back in 2014 that we first heard about the Chairless Chair, a lower-body exoskeleton that doesn’t impede walking, but that also supports the wearer when they go into a sitting position. Well, there’s now a lighter, comfier model.Continue Reading… Continue reading Chairless Chair 2.0 improves on the “wearable chair” concept

When most people think of 3D printing, they think of fused deposition modelling (FDM), wherein an object is built up in successive layers of molten thermoplastic. A new computer system is able to tweak that process, in order to build structurally stron… Continue reading Computer system optimizes 3D printer performance, based on the job

It was seven years ago that we first heard about Garmin’s Varia Radar tail light, which warns cyclists of vehicles approaching from behind. After adding smartphone compatibility in 2020, Garmin has now put a camera in the device.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Garmin’s car-detecting Varia Radar device gets a crash-logging camera
Although electric scooters are becoming extremely popular, the things are still just a little too unstable for some people. The Afreda S6 was designed with such folks in mind, as it features two front wheels that independently tilt into turns – plus it… Continue reading Afreda S6 3-wheeled e-scooter folds, tilts and rolls over uneven ground
While many campers like to eat well in the wilderness, they don’t necessarily want to pack along a full-on camp stove setup. The Daggerfish Campfire Grill was designed with just such folks in mind.Continue ReadingCategory: Outdoors, LifestyleTags: Gril… Continue reading Flat-packable modular Daggerfish grill elevates campfire cooking
Presently, in order to check electrolyte levels in newborn babies, blood samples are drawn from the infants twice a day. Soon, however, a “smart” pacifier could be used to non-invasively collect that same data.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wel… Continue reading “Smart” pacifier could warn of dehydration in newborn babies
Two years ago, we heard about a highly absorbant hydrogel made from upcycled pineapple leaves. Some of the scientists who developed that gel are now saying that the leaves could also be used to absorb harmful fats from recently consumed foods in our di… Continue reading Pineapple leaves may find use in fat-trapping ingestibles
