If urban delivery drones ever do enter common usage, they won’t just be able to fly where and whenever they want. They’ll have to stick to flight corridors, such as one which is set to open west of London. It is believed to be the first one located in … Continue reading Unrestricted drone flight corridor allows other air traffic
We’ve seen quite a few portable, free-standing hammocks lately, but Pondell’s QNUX distinguishes itself in a rather interesting way. The whole thing packs down into a tube-like carrying case, which also serves as part of the hammock.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Portable hammock incorporates its own carrying case
Ultra wide-angle fisheye lenses are typically thick, bulbous contraptions, that can’t easily be incorporated into devices such as smartphones. That could be about to change, though, as engineers have now created one that’s completely flat.Continue Read… Continue reading High-tech material used to create a thin, flat fisheye lens
While folding electric scooters are now a common sight, most of the things still have fully rigid frames that just bang over obstacles on the road. The Splach e-scooter is different, though, in that it incorporates front and rear coil-sprung suspension… Continue reading Smooth-riding e-scooter features full suspension system
There are now a number of kits that allow users to temporarily convert their regular bike into an ebike. While most of those involve swapping in a powered wheel or wheel-roller, Elevate is different – it’s installed over the rear disc brake.Continue Re… Continue reading Brake-mounted Elevate makes mountain bikes electric
Coral bleaching occurs when corals are stressed by high water temperatures and other factors, causing them to expel the symbiotic algae living within them. Given that fact, scientists are now looking into saving reefs by pumping up cool water from the … Continue reading “Artificial upwelling” could help save coral reefs
One method of 3D printing involves selectively exposing liquid resin to ultraviolet (UV) light, causing that resin to harden into a solid. Now, scientists have developed a new resin that works with safer, more energy-efficient visible light.Continue Re… Continue reading Practical new 3D printing resin optimized for visible light
When it comes to actioncams, the name that everyone knows is GoPro. The company has just announced its latest model, the Hero9 Black, which is promised to be sharper, smoother and “screenier” than any of its predecessors.Continue ReadingCategory: Photo… Continue reading GoPro unveils 5K, dual-screened, hyper-smooth Hero9 Black
Some vaccines aren’t very effective, which is due at least partially to the amount of time that they’re active within the body. A new injectable hydrogel, however, could allow them to act for a longer period of time, making them more potent.Continue Re… Continue reading Gel vaccines may be more effective than currently used liquids
Quadcopter drones certainly can come in handy, but those exposed propellers make them unsuitable for work in close quarters. Flyability’s Elios drone doesn’t have that problem, so it was recently used to explore deep ice caves in Greenland.Continue Rea… Continue reading Caged drone explores the depths of Greenland ice caves
