There are now numerous “smart” bike helmets available, most of which incorporate remotely operated LED turn indicators. Well, if that’s the feature you really want, Blinxi lets you add it to your existing “dumb” helmet.Continue ReadingCategory: Bicycle… Continue reading Blinxi adds LED turn indicators to existing bike helmets
It was just last month that we heard about the Chasing M2, a new device that sits somewhere between consumer underwater drones and full-on ROVs (remotely operated vehicles). Well, it turns out that the M2 isn’t alone in that category … come check out Q… Continue reading FiFish V6 blurs the line between underwater drones and ROVs
It can be a hassle, removing your bike lock from its frame mount (or from your bag) every time you want to use it. The Lobster Lock is different, though, in that it stays attached to your bike at all times – even when the lock is in use.Continue Readin… Continue reading Folding bike lock stays attached to the frame full-time
When it comes to the treatment of certain neurological conditions, doctors are increasingly looking to battery-powered implants that stimulate parts of the brain. Now, however, scientists have developed one that’s externally powered by magnetic fields…. Continue reading Tiny battery-free implant could stimulate neurons to treat disorders
As we continue to explore other planets, we’re going to want to know not only what’s on their surface, but also what’s underneath it. That’s where the Mole-bot comes in – it’s a robot that autonomously tunnels its way through the ground.Continue Readin… Continue reading Mole-inspired robot is designed to dig its way through other planets
A type of volcanic glass, perlite is frequently used as building insulation or a potting soil additive. According to a new study, though, it also works quite well at killing malaria-causing mosquitos.Continue ReadingCategory: Good Thinking, LifestyleTa… Continue reading Volcanic-glass spray kills malaria-carrying mosquitos
When it comes to monitoring electrical activity in the brain, patients typically have to lie very still inside a large magnetoencephalography (MEG) machine. That could be about to change, though, as scientists have developed a new version of a wearable… Continue reading New-and-improved MEG helmet scans the entire brain
Every year, millions of eggs are rejected for sale in supermarkets, while millions of fruits and vegetables spoil before being eaten. Scientists are now addressing both problems, utilizing rejected eggs to create a coating that keeps produce fresh long… Continue reading Rejected eggs used to keep fruits n’ veggies fresh
Among other things, hydrophobic (water-repelling) surfaces can be used to keep medical devices germ-free, to help airplane wings shed ice, and to keep solar panels clean. A new process could soon make those surfaces much more durable, allowing them to … Continue reading Water-repellent “armor” stands up to cuts and abrasions
Powdery mildew is a widespread fungal disease that attacks many crops. And while it typically has to be treated using fungicides, special ultraviolet light-emitting robots could soon prove to be a better way to go.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, Te… Continue reading UV-emitting robots roam vineyards to kill fungus
