No one likes the idea of biting into a cookie (or other food item) and finding a piece of glass, wood or plastic inside. An experimental new system is designed to keep that from happening, utilizing radar technology.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTag… Continue reading Radar-based inspection system scans food for foreign objects
Aluminum bicycle frames are usually made of lengths of tubing, joined together at the ends by welds. The CNC eFanes electric enduro mountain bike is different, though, in that its frame is milled from solid 6061 aluminum … and it costs €15,999.90, or a… Continue reading Electric MTB is milled from aluminum … and costs as much as a car
Ordinarily, when using an off-the-shelf 3D printer, it’s quite difficult to print a single object that incorporates multiple materials. An experimental new system could make it easier, though, by utilizing a “programmable filament.”Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading New filament tech lets regular 3D printers build multi-material items
While there are now a great number of folding electric scooters on the market, not all of them are particularly easy to transport once folded. The Ekooter looks like it should be, though, as it folds down into a sort of wheeled ring.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Ekooter e-scooter folds into a rolling ring – with a handle
If a 3D printer leaves gaps in the plastic that it deposits, it’s usually thought of as an unwanted flaw. Now, however, the process has been harnessed to quickly and cheaply produce pliable polymer textiles.Continue ReadingCategory: 3D Printing, Techno… Continue reading 3D-printing “error” used to produce high-tech textiles
When conducting environmental studies in hard-to-access locations, scientists will often set up wireless networks of small data-logging sensors. Deploying those sensors can be difficult and even dangerous work, though, which is why a dart-shooting dron… Continue reading Drone deploys sensors by shooting them as darts
When a stroke victim has lost the use of an arm, they typically have to perform rehabilitative exercises utilizing heavy, costly, clinic-based equipment. A compact new portable device, however, could be used by patients in their own homes.Continue Read… Continue reading Gaming device designed for at-home stroke rehab
While there are now quite a few Bluetooth speakers that can be used in the shower, they all periodically need to be taken out and recharged. The Shower Power speaker is different, in that it’s continuously powered by the running shower water.Continue R… Continue reading Hydroelectric Bluetooth speaker is powered by the shower
Of all the things that merit a high-tech makeover, you would think that the humble bird-nesting box didn’t need one. A new 3D-printed version, however, could go a long way towards restoring threatened species in the Australian wilderness.Continue Readi… Continue reading Artificial tree hollows designed to house displaced wildlife
With perhaps a few exceptions, battery-electric multicopter drones typically can’t fly for longer than about 30 minutes. Such is not the case, however, with their hybrid counterparts – one of which recently broke its own endurance record.
