Just like their full-size counterparts, radio-controlled tracked model vehicles are capable of traversing terrain that would stop wheeled models in their … well, in their tracks. One of the latest, the XRC Brawler, is claimed to be “the highest perfo… Continue reading XRC Brawler is designed to go where other RC models fear to tread
We’ve seen bikes that are powered by both the arms and legs, plus we’ve seen ones that are rowed instead of (or along with) being pedaled. The Varibike Extreme, however, combines both types of exercise in a unique new fashion.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading Varibike Extreme gets riders’ arms and/or legs rowing and/or pedaling
While archeologists can learn a lot from studying ancient Egyptian mummified bodies, unwrapping those bodies may damage their valuable coverings. With that problem in mind, scientists have now “digitally unwrapped” a mummy via CT scanning technology.Co… Continue reading 3D CT scanning tech used to non-destructively unwrap an Egyptian mummy
Right around this time last year, we first heard about the MoonBike electric snow bike. Although the French-designed vehicle was in prototype form back then, its makers have now announced full specs and pricing for the production version.Continue Readi… Continue reading MoonBikes announces full specs and pricing for its electric snow bike
Although using a snow blower may be easier than shovelling, even pushing a blower around can be tiring if you have a large area to clear. That’s where the Snowbot S1 comes in – it’s a snow-blowing robot that’s designed to do the job all on its own.Cont… Continue reading Snowbot S1 could be your own snow-blowing robot
A couple of years ago, Canadian scientists celebrated the Christmas season by creating a microscopic gingerbread house. In that same spirit, Danish researchers have now produced what they claim is the world’s thinnest Christmas tree – and it’s made of … Continue reading Graphene used to create “world’s thinnest Christmas tree”
While many earbuds now feature noise-cancelling technology, they typically block all noises, including people’s voices. The Silenton device, however, is claimed to filter out most sounds while still allowing voices through to third-party earbuds.Contin… Continue reading Silenton brings selective noise cancellation to existing earbuds
We’ve all seen sports spectators performing “the wave,” where crowds of people stand up then sit back down to simulate a wave moving through the stadium. Well, schools of a certain fish have been found to perform a similar action, in order to keep from… Continue reading Schools of mollie fish “do the wave” to evade predators
Although we generally think of flying saucers as craft used by aliens in sci-fi movies, MIT scientists are now proposing utilizing one of their own design to explore the Moon. The vehicle would hover above the lunar surface via the force of electrostat… Continue reading MIT-designed “flying saucer” may one day hover its way across the Moon
For many years now, people in parts of Africa have used a tea made from the crushed leaves of a certain plant to treat malaria. Scientists recently identified the active ingredient, and believe that it could be used in alternative pharmaceutical treatm… Continue reading Plant extract could treat malaria when conventional drugs fail
