Different types of metal have different qualities, so combining them can result in items that outperform those made of any one metal. A new technique now allows such mixing to be performed by 3D printers, faster and easier than ever before.Continue Rea… Continue reading “Bimetallic” 3D printing tech produces better, stronger metal items
Handlebar-mounted smartphones can really help cyclists navigate, but the phone-mount devices themselves may look kinda gawky when not in use. That’s where the Micro Mount comes in, as it simply replaces the bike’s stem cap.Continue ReadingCategory: Bic… Continue reading Stem-cap-replacing Micro smartphone mount hides in plain sight

When a road is covered in snow or obscured by fog, the navigation systems of self-driving cars may have trouble seeing where that road is. Specially equipped pavement markers could soon help, by continuously transmitting radio signals to passing vehicl… Continue reading Electronically augmented markers help driverless cars see the road
Aquaponics operations combine aquaculture and hydroponics, with nutrient-rich water from the former being used to fertilize plants in the latter. Soon, such systems could also be powered by methane biogas derived from their own fish feces.Continue Read… Continue reading Aquaponics farms may soon be powered by fish poop
