When testing for infections such as strep throat, saliva sampling is often used as a less invasive alternative to taking throat swabs. Collecting that saliva could soon be easier than ever, by using a lollipop to do the job.Continue ReadingCategory: Me… Continue reading This diagnostic lollipop collects your saliva
While we have seen motorized kayaks before, they typically just have a motor that can be switched on and off. The Old Town Sportsman BigWater ePDL+ 132 is different, in that it features a pedal-electric propulsion system – it’s like an aquatic ebike.Co… Continue reading Old Town BigWater ePDL+ 132 brings an ebike-like boost to kayaking
While GPS can be used to determine one’s geographical coordinates on land, such is not the case underwater. Scientists have developed a possible alternative, however, in the form of a system that analyzes the manner in which sunlight is polarized by wa… Continue reading Sunlight polarization patterns may be an underwater substitute for GPS
Regular water-changes are essential to the wellbeing of aquarium fish, but the task sometimes gets missed, plus it can be difficult to determine how much water should be replaced, and how often. That’s where the automated StayrAI Rein system comes in.C… Continue reading StayrAI performs automatic water-changes so aquarists don’t have to
Robotic surgical systems such as the da Vinci X are very impressive, with their two arms that are controlled by the surgeon’s two hands. An experimental new system takes things even further, though, by adding two more arms controlled by the user’s feet… Continue reading Four-armed robotic surgical system is controlled by hands and feet
Three years ago we first heard about the Traqpod, a specialized longboard that allows riders to really carve into turns like snowboarders. Well, it’s now in its third incarnation – the Traqpod 3 – which is the first version to offer a one- or two-motor… Continue reading Crazy-carving Traqpod longboard goes electric
On frequently travelled waterways, it’s essential for vessel operators and local authorities to have maps of both bottom and shoreline features. A newly adapted autonomous watercraft could soon make the creation of such maps easier than ever before.Con… Continue reading High-tech watercraft autonomously 3D-maps seabeds and shorelines
Although there are several methods of 3D-printing metal objects, all of them involve the application of heat – which isn’t conducive to producing certain heat-sensitive electronics, among other things. A new gel, however, can be used to print such item… Continue reading Revolutionary gel allows metal items to be 3D printed at room temperature
Just like their field-dwelling counterparts, plants grown in greenhouses are preyed upon by flying insects. The Dutch-designed PATS system is designed to help, by sending tiny drones to chop those insects up in mid-air.Continue ReadingCategory: Drones,… Continue reading PATS tech calls in drone strikes on greenhouse pests
The machinery at municipal recycling facilities often gets jammed up with the adhesives which are utilized on items such as jar labels and cardboard boxes. That may cease to be the case in the not-too-distant future, however, thanks to a new degradable… Continue reading Degradable adhesive could boost recycling by sticking it to stickiness
