Along with single servings of coffee, we’ve also seen Keurig-like pods used to dispense cocktails, wine, fresh tortillas and even full meals. ColdSnap forges into different territory, by serving up fresh ice cream and other frosty treats.Continue Readi… Continue reading ColdSnap makes single-serving fresh ice cream from unrefrigerated pods
When an obese person really needs to lose weight, gastric bypass surgery is sometimes performed – but it’s quite an invasive procedure. An experimental new implant, however, may produce similar results with much less fuss.Continue ReadingCategory: Medi… Continue reading Externally powered implant designed to treat obesity
Ebikes may indeed require less pedalling effort than regular bicycles, but most still offer little in the way of cargo capacity or protection from the elements. The CityQ is designed to provide both, along with four-wheeled stability.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading CityQ is like a four-wheeled electronic-drive ebike
Presently, if someone has been involved in a potentially bone-breaking mishap, they have to be X-rayed by trained staff at a hospital. Soon, however, it may be possible for them to perform their own X-rays, using a compact device that could be located … Continue reading Portable X-ray device would let patients check their own bones
While you could just lock your ebike to a signpost or rack, wouldn’t it be nice to park it someplace where it got recharged, and you could store your gear? HAVN was designed to serve those purposes.Continue ReadingCategory: Bicycles, TransportTags: Ele… Continue reading HAVN may just be the ultimate ebike parking spot
Although cleaning up the humungous Great Pacific Garbage Patch is a daunting concept, removing trash from local waterways is much more feasible … and that’s exactly what the Clearbot robot is designed to do.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, Scienc… Continue reading Autonomous aquatic robot goes after garbage
In the world of fast-paced online gaming, every second of response time counts … in fact, make that every millisecond. The Impulse Neuro-Controller was designed with that in mind, as it detects mouse-clicks before they actually happen.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Fast-response gaming glove knows when you’re about to click
Among other factors, one of the things that makes so-called hoppy beers so popular is their fruity aroma. A new process could allow brewers to better quantify the thiol compounds that produce that aroma, in the development of fruitier-smelling beers.Co… Continue reading New analytical tech could make for better beers
We’ve already heard about conductive inks that allow electrical circuits to be hand-drawn onto materials, using a ballpoint pen. Scientists have now developed a new such ink, which they claim is cheaper and more functional than others.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Scientists create a cheaper, better-flowing conductive pen ink
The embedding of fibers within 3D-printed objects can be used to add properties such as electrical conductivity or extra strength to those items. Now, a shape-changing print nozzle has been developed to vary the orientation of those fibers – as the pri… Continue reading Morphing nozzle controls fiber orientation in 3D-printed items
