Ordinarily when you’re pitching a tent, you have to look for a flat, smooth, dry area in which to do so. That isn’t the case with the Treeline System, however, which lets you suspend a tent above the ground via a set of slack lines.Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading Treeline System offers a new take on the slack-line-suspended tent
While it’s important to check wounds for infections, removing the dressing in order to do so can be disruptive to the healing process. A new smart bandage could help, by “glowing” in a certain way if an infection is beginning.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading Smart bandage would use light to indicate infections
Swim coaches have a difficult job, as they have to shout in order for swimmers to hear them – and even then, they still may not be heard. The Sonr system is designed to address that problem, using one-way radio communications.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading Sonr tech lets coaches talk to swimmers by radio
Despite ongoing advances in the field of underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), the devices have remained tethered to the surface via communications cables. Such is not the case with the ExRay, however, which uses light instead.

The anole lizard may be a popular pet, but here’s something that not many people may know: some of the things can breathe while underwater. A new study has confirmed their ability to do so, and explains what makes it possible.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading Study confirms that nose bubbles allow anoles to breathe underwater
While 360-degree security cameras are great for imaging a wide area, they’re not so great when you want to zoom in on something that looks suspicious. A new setup addresses that problem, by combining three cameras in one system.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading Three-camera system lets users better “zoom in” on 360-degree video
It would certainly be upsetting to discover that the beef you had just eaten also contained rat meat. Such things are possible, though, which is why scientists have developed a DNA-based meat-testing kit.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: DNA, Food… Continue reading DNA testing kit checks foods for forbidden meats
Even though underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are getting smaller, their communications cables have remained relatively fat and hefty. That may about to change, though, thanks to a new fishing-line-based fiber optic tether.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Skinny fiber optic tether could let ROVs be launched from small boats
It can be challenging, trying to cook your campsite meals while crouched over a tiny propane stove. The Space Box offers a bigger but still compact alternative, packing an oven, two-burner stovetop, prep surfaces and sink into one package.Continue Read… Continue reading Oven-packin’ camp kitchen squeezes into a steel box for transport
When someone is paralyzed from the neck down, it goes without saying that they can no longer write words out by hand. They can still think about doing so, though, and those thoughts could allow them to type out messages via a new brain-computer interfa… Continue reading BCI lets paralyzed users quickly type text, by imagining writing it
