Back in 2016, we told you about the iBubble, an underwater drone that autonomously follows and films scuba divers. Well, it now has a more capable industrial-use big brother, known as the Seasam.Continue ReadingCategory: Drones, TechnologyTags: Underwa… Continue reading Seasam drone autonomously follows divers and performs underwater tasks
Both gravel bikes and electric bikes are becoming more popular, so it should come as no surprise that we’re seeing an increasing number of gravel ebikes. One of the latest, the E-Flash, features a carbon frame at a relatively low price.Continue Reading… Continue reading Sava E-Flash is a frugal take on the carbon gravel ebike
In what is being described as a world-first, a 222-meter (728-ft) vehicle-carrying ferry has autonomously navigated a 240-km (149-mile) stretch of Japan’s Iyonda Sea. The vessel even performed the docking procedures on its own.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Large vehicle-carrying ferry makes first-ever autonomous run in Japan
Stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), powered surfboards and even hydrofoiling surfboards are all becoming increasingly popular, but buying one of each could get expensive. That’s where the modular XFoil comes in, as it can serve as all three – if you opt for … Continue reading XFoil serves as an SUP, powered surfboard and hydrofoiling board

Complex bone fractures can be difficult to treat, sometimes requiring the injured bone to be removed and replaced with bone harvested from elsewhere in the body. Thanks to an experimental new material, though, bone-building micro-robots may someday pro… Continue reading Injectable electroactive “microbots” may one day heal broken bones
Quadcopters may be versatile drones, but those four spread-out arms do keep them from performing certain tasks. An experimental new drone addresses that shortcoming, with arms that passively fold down as needed.Continue ReadingCategory: Drones, Technol… Continue reading Drone makes itself more useful by passively folding in mid-air
Although fixed-wing drones can fly farther and faster than multicopters, they typically require runways to take off and land. The Vetal flying-wing drone addresses that compromise, with a rather striking “tail-sitter” design.Continue ReadingCategory: D… Continue reading Vetal tail-sitter VTOL drone is set to take to the sky
German scientists have announced the discovery of what is claimed to be the world’s largest fish breeding area known to date. Described as a globally unique ecosystem, it consists of tens of millions of icefish nests on the Antarctic sea floor.

If you’re an avid camper, there’s a good chance that you carry a lot of gear in your pockets, and that you use a hammock. The Hammock Holdall was created for such people, as it provides off-hammock storage for all your awkward stuff.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Hammock Holdall moves the bulky gear out of tired campers’ pockets
