The longer it takes to brew a batch of beer, the greater the chances of microorganisms getting in and ruining the whole thing. In order to speed up and simplify the process, scientists have developed tiny BeerBots.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags:… Continue reading Bubbling “BeerBots” could boost the brewing of beer
How would you be able to sleep if you were surrounded by predators who might eat you as soon as you nodded off? Well, a new study shows that elephant seals manage it by only sleeping two hours a day, and doing so deep in the ocean.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Seals evade predators by only sleeping two hours a day, on deep dives
It is believed that long before Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s diseases present more obvious symptoms, the disorders may be noticeable in subtle changes to a person’s sleep patterns. A new project aims to see if such telltale changes could be detected by a small earbud-like device, allowing action to be taken much sooner.

Live-streamed videos always look better when they include multiple camera angles, but most people don’t have the funds or expertise to set up a mini multi-camera TV studio in their house. The RayBit SC1 system is designed to change that.Continue Readin… Continue reading RayBit SC1 runs a multi-camera TV studio through your smartphone
If you’ve ever tried piloting a quadcopter drone, you’ll know that they invariably end up running into walls, trees or whatnot … often getting damaged in the process. An experimental new inflatable-body drone, however, just bounces off obstacles – plus… Continue reading Inflatable drone bounces and perches instead of crashing and hovering
Even though logging is prohibited in many of the world’s threatened forests, that doesn’t stop some companies from logging in those areas anyways, then lying about the origins of the timber. Soon, however, such groups may be foiled by the wood’s chemic… Continue reading Wood’s unique “chemical fingerprint” could thwart timber fraudsters
Whether you call them underwater drones or just small ROVs, high-end miniature remote-control submersibles are definitely gaining popularity. One of the latest and best-outfitted is Qysea’s impressive Fifish V-EVO.Continue ReadingCategory: Drones, Tech… Continue reading Fifish V-EVO underwater drone takes the tech to new depths
While glass bricks are effective for allowing daylight into buildings, they’re not good insulators and they can’t be used for entire load-bearing walls. Such is reportedly not the case, however, with experimental new aerogel-filled translucent bricks.C… Continue reading Translucent aerogel bricks could outperform their opaque counterparts
Although motorized inline skates are now becoming “a thing,” most of them still require users to carry a handheld remote. The JoyErider skates are different, however, in that they’re controlled by the user’s foot-taps.Continue ReadingCategory: Urban Tr… Continue reading JoyErider motorized inline skates are controlled by tapping one’s foot
It’s ironic that in order to check if a wound is becoming infected, doctors may end up setting back the healing process by prematurely removing the dressing. An experimental new dressing is designed to help, as it changes color if an infection is occur… Continue reading Smart dressing changes color if wounds are infected
