Ordinarily, airliners have to run their jet engines in order to taxi along the runway – this uses a lot of fuel, plus it generates a lot of carbon emissions. A new in-ground electrical towing system, however, offers what could be a much more efficient … Continue reading In-ground aircraft towing tech promises fuel savings and less CO2
Animals, like us, experience a deterioration of memory in old age. A new study, however, indicates that cuttlefish are the first species in which this appears not to be the case.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: University of Cambridge, F… Continue reading Study suggests cuttlefish don’t experience age-related memory loss
Last year when Bugatti announced its prototype Bolide hypercar, many multimillionaires were doubtless eager to obtain one of the ultra-extreme vehicles for themselves. Well, they’ll soon have the chance, as the French automaker is moving the Bolide int… Continue reading Bugatti to build a production version of its Bolide hypercar

Hydration packs are great for keeping a water supply close at hand when you’re out biking or running, but … you might feel kind of funny wearing one on your daily urban commute. That’s where the Danú Bag comes in, as it’s designed to look like a regula… Continue reading Ordinary-looking Danú Bag is actually a “plainclothes hydration pack”

Although we do keep hearing about flexible wearable electronics, most such devices are still powered by rigid batteries that regularly need to be recharged. An experimental new battery, however, is soft, stretchable, and powered by human sweat.Continue… Continue reading Wearable battery is flexible, stretchable and sweat-powered

Although we’ve already heard how electrical stimulation can help speed the healing of wounds, electrical devices themselves often can’t be implanted in soft tissue. That could soon change, though, thanks to the development of a new “piezoelectric wafer… Continue reading Internal-wound-healing wafer is powered by patients’ muscles
When it comes to robots designed for traversing rough terrain, there are typically treaded and legged models. The new Tready robot, however, combines the best of both approaches, by utilizing its four treaded “flippers.”Continue ReadingCategory: Roboti… Continue reading Tready robot uses treaded flippers to overcome obstacles
