As compared to their incandescent counterparts, LED bulbs are already known for producing a lot of light using relatively little electricity. According to a new study, however, a thin layer of nanoparticles could allow them to perform even better.Conti… Continue reading Nanoparticle tech could make for brighter, longer-lasting LEDs
High-end motorcycle manufacturer Ducati recently raised a few eyebrows, when it unveiled both a mountain and an urban ebike. It’s now taking things further, by announcing not one but three ebikes that fold.Continue ReadingCategory: Bicycles, TransportT… Continue reading Ducati announces three folding ebikes
Decades ago, Arthur C. Clarke envisioned an “underwater telescope” that would allow users to look down from the surface of the ocean, into its inky depths. Well, such a capability has come a step closer to reality, utilizing existing technology.Continu… Continue reading Scientists use LiDAR to see deeper into the ocean
Electric boats could soon be getting even quieter and more maneuverable, according to Yahama. The company’s new Harmo steering and propulsion system is promised to deliver on both counts.Continue ReadingCategory: Marine, TransportTags: Yamaha, Electric… Continue reading Yamaha’s Harmo tech could make for stealthier, nimbler e-boats
Most multicopter drones can only fly for about 30 minutes, after which their battery has to be recharged for one to two hours – this limits their practical use. According to Israeli company StoreDot, though, its FlashBattery tech delivers a full charge… Continue reading New drone technology promises a 5-minute recharge
It’s important to maintain proper chlorine levels in a pool, as too much can cause skin and eye irritation, and too little won’t kill bacteria or other microbes. A new device could help, by cheaply and automatically checking a pool’s pH and chlorine co… Continue reading Simple sensor designed to continuously analyze pool water
Electronic waste can be difficult to repurpose, as it often consists of two or more mixed materials. Now, however, Australian scientists have developed a method of converting so-called e-waste into a protective coating for steel.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Ground-up e-waste could be used to make steel stronger
Carbon fiber may be strong and light, but it’s also expensive. South African scientists have developed a cheaper and more sustainable alternative, though, in which the carbon fibers are replaced with ones extracted from plantain plants.Continue Reading… Continue reading Plantain fibers could find use in lighter, stronger cars
A couple of years ago, Specialized announced its SWAT Conceal Carry multitool, that sat inside a bike’s existing steerer tube. Trek sub-brand Bontrager has now unveiled its own take on the concept, with the BITS Integrated MTB Tool.Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading Bontrager jumps on the hidden multitool bandwagon, with BITS
Although numerous companies are now developing so-called “air taxis,” many of those groups currently have nothing but renderings of their planned aircraft. Switzerland’s Dufour Aerospace, however, recently completed the first phase of testing of a larg… Continue reading Swiss eVTOL demonstrator aircraft takes to the skies
