When natural ocean shoreline is replaced by an artificial seawall, a lot of precious intertidal habitat is lost. A new study, however, indicates that by covering those walls with specially designed tiles, a substitute habitat can be created.Continue Re… Continue reading 3D-printed tiles boost biodiversity on sea walls
As compared to true ROVs (remotely operated vehicles), less-expensive underwater drones tend to be aimed mainly at hobbyists. The Geneinno T1 Pro drone, however, is designed to perform some major-league underwater tasks.Continue ReadingCategory: Drones… Continue reading Geneinno’s T1 underwater drone goes Pro
While double-glazed windows do help save energy, Singaporean scientists have tweaked the concept to make it even more effective. Instead of leaving an air gap between the two panes of glass, the researchers have inserted a heat-absorbing, light-blockin… Continue reading Liquid-filled window absorbs solar heat by day, releases it at night
One of the problems with gradual-release medications lies in the fact that the pills often pass through the body before all of the medication has been released. An experimental new technology addresses that problem, by copying an intestinal parasite.Co… Continue reading Gut-grabbing drug-delivery device is inspired by the hookworm
In order to observe specific behaviors, scientists will often rig wild animals up with tiny cameras or other “bio-logging” devices. A new technology could help these tools gather more data, by only fully powering up when needed.

Generally speaking, you don’t see a wide variety of crops being grown in arid regions – especially when irrigation isn’t practical and/or affordable. That could be about to change, though, with the development of what’s being described as “self-waterin… Continue reading Self-watering SMAG-soil pulls moisture from the air
Cargo bikes definitely are handy for hauling stuff around, but they can also be rather long and ungainly. That’s where the Yoonit is designed to come in, as it can carry a variety of loads, but it’s no longer than a regular bike.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Yoonit mini cargo bike is big on being small
The basilisk is also known as the”Jesus Christ Lizard,” due to the fact that it can run across the surface of the water. A new version of an existing type of robot does the same thing, plus it’s capable of traversing rough terrain.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Lizard-inspired amphibious robot runs across the water
When you hear a siren while driving, there’s always that moment of indecision as you try to figure out what direction it’s coming from. The new iHear system is designed to help, by indicating the direction on a dashboard display.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading iHear system promises simple, inexpensive siren detection for drivers
Imagine if your tablecloth could alert you to the whereabouts of misplaced items, or track your diet? Those things and more may soon be possible, thanks to a new “smart” fabric being developed at New Hampshire’s Dartmouth College.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Smart tablecloth fabric knows what’s placed upon it
