If you’re a fan of Ethiopian cuisine, then you’ll be familiar with injera – it’s a large, round flatbread that everyone pulls pieces off of to scoop up the food. Making full-size injera can be challenging in a normal kitchen, which is why the… Continue reading Induction grill is made for Ethiopian eats
Many people get a tattoo as a means of making a statement. Thanks to new research into permanent tattoos that change color in response to certain biomarkers, that statement could one day be something along the lines of, “My pH levels are bein… Continue reading Permanent tattoos could be used to monitor long-term conditions
As many a fancy-refrigerator-owner will know, fingerprints tend to be highly visible on stainless steel. A new transparent coating could help, however, as it goes about reducing the appearance of prints in three ways…

If you’re making a 2-mm-long walking robot, it pretty much goes without saying that the thing won’t be able to carry much of a battery. That’s why Georgia Tech’s new “micro-bristle-bots” are instead propelled by vibrations. And someday, they may actually be capable of moving within the human body.

As compared to most other joints in the human body, the knee has quite a large range of motion … so why not put that motion to use, as a source of electricity? That’s what a new prototype device does, and it reportedly does not cause i… Continue reading Wearable device harvests energy from bending of the knee
If you’re a member of a rowing team, it’s not just your stroke that’s important, but also how well you coordinate that stroke with those of your team-mates. With that in mind, Idaho-based rowers Mike Schaefer and John Balint invented the conn… Continue reading Connected rowing machine makes users part of a team
We’ve already heard how electrical pulses have been shown to help heal wounds, by promoting tissue growth. An experimental new implant uses that same principle to aid in the regeneration of cardiac tissue, potentially postponing or even elimi… Continue reading Implant uses electricity to heal the heart
The shorter a drone’s propellers, the less efficient they are at keeping it airborne. That factor, along with compact, low-capacity batteries, is the reason that small drones can’t fly for very long. A new two-prop drone, however, is claimed … Continue reading Ring-shaped dual-prop drone boasts twice the flight time as quadcopters
When it comes to gimbal-stabilized HD cameras, we’re used to models that are attached to control handles, or that are mounted on drones. What if you want one that’s just a stand-alone unit, though? Well, that’s where the Stacam comes in…

Although they may not be as well-known as “exciting” dinosaurs such as the Tyrannosaurus, the duck-billed hadrosaurs were the most common plant-eating dinosaurs at the end of the Mesozoic Era. Now, a newly-classified member of the group appea… Continue reading "New" duck-billed dinosaur is actually one of the oldest
