Climate change already appears to be responsible for an overabundance of jellyfish in the world’s oceans, but new research indicates that it may also lead to something else – lots and lots of squid. The findings run contrary to what was expec… Continue reading Climate change may cause an increase in squid populations
Unlike their larger, commercial airliner cousins, small private aircraft aren’t required to be equipped with flight data recorders. As a result, many pilots don’t bother with them, in order to save money. A new system could change that, thoug… Continue reading SkyVU uses computer vision to make flight data recording more affordable
We’ve seen mermaid-type monofins before, and we’ve also seen so-called underwater scooters. A group of US/UK entrepreneurs has gone and combined the two, in the form of a monofin that gives swimmers an electric boost with each kick…
Contin… Continue reading Amphi aims to turn swimmers into bionic mermaids
When someone is missing bone in their face due to injury or illness, the current treatment involves transplanting a piece of bone extracted from the leg, leaving a deficit there.

In order to at least begin addressing the growing problem of space debris, numerous groups are now looking into methods of de-orbiting satellites once their operational lives have ended. One of the latest approaches involves getting the space… Continue reading Dangling tape could be used to de-orbit old satellites
Lately we’ve been seeing an increasing number of VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) drones, that combine the best qualities of fixed-wing aircraft and quadcopters. So, what do you do if you already manufacture a standard fixed-wing model? I… Continue reading Fixed-wing drone goes VTOL with add-on module
Wind storms can cause a great deal of damage to coastal areas, producing waves that erode the shoreline and destroy facilities such as marinas. A newly-proposed “floating forest” could help, however, by blocking both the wind and the waves…… Continue reading Shorelines could be protected from wind and waves – by a floating forest
Although glass is thought of as being relatively eco-friendly because it’s recyclable, the fact is that a lot of it doesn’t get recycled – this is particularly true of small fragments, that are too fiddly to sort. Now, however, scientists are… Continue reading Old glass may find use in new, better concrete
While we’ve seen some “flying cars” that require a runway, there’s no doubt that what most people really want is a vehicle that takes off and lands more like a helicopter. Well, the Aska may be the answer … when and if it reaches produ… Continue reading Aska flying car concept revealed in Israel
In developing nations with limited infrastructure, obtaining and storing vitamin supplements can be difficult. With that in mind, German scientists are now suggesting that people in such regions could fight tuberculosis (TB) by ingesting some… Continue reading With some help from the sun, oyster mushrooms could fight TB
