You might think that the ol’ wood-and-wire chicken coop is one thing that’s ineligible for a high-tech makeover. The designers of a camera- and alarm-equipped chicken home known as The Coop, however, would be inclined to disagree.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading The Coop is a 21st-Century take on the humble chicken coop
You may have heard how the BPA (bisphenol A) in some food-packaging plastics has been linked to various health problems. Scientists are thus developing a more innocuous alternative, and it’s made from tomato waste which would otherwise be discarded.Con… Continue reading Tomato waste used for BPA-free food can coating
Even though glass is praised for being fully recyclable, the US Environmental Protection Agency states that only about a third of discarded glass items actually get recycled. With that problem in mind, scientists have developed a new type of glass whic… Continue reading Experimental biodegradable glass breaks down when composted
While we’ve seen several camping concepts which incorporate the Tesla Cybertruck, chances are most of us will never own such a vehicle. The Tentsla X1 tent, however, is aimed at the existing – and widely owned – Tesla Model Y SUV.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Tentsla adds a four-person tent to the back of a Tesla Model Y
For some people who are morbidly obese, changes in diet and lifestyle just aren’t sufficient to shed all the extra weight. A new study suggests that a hibiscus flower extract could help, without the side effects of weight-loss drugs.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Hibiscus extract shows promise as natural weight-loss supplement
While we have seen health-tracking smart rings before, the Iris ring is a bit different. Utilizing special miniaturized sensors, it’s claimed to be smaller and more energy-efficient than anything else on the market.Continue ReadingCategory: Wearables, … Continue reading Iris health-tracking ring uses tiny sensors for a slimmer form
It’s certainly handy to know how fast gears or wheels are spinning, but equipping them with external sensors can be awkward and may affect their performance. That’s why scientists have devised a method of 3D-printing wireless sensors right into the thi… Continue reading MechSense 3D-prints wireless rotational sensors right into moving parts
Last year, we heard how NASA had awarded a service contract to Axiom Space for the design and production of the agency’s Artemis III spacesuit. NASA and Axiom have now unveiled a prototype of the outfit.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: NAS… Continue reading NASA and Axiom Space unveil Moon-bound Artemis III spacesuit
When we last heard about Zipline, the California company was using parachutes to drop packages from its delivery drones to the ground. The firm’s just-announced Platform 2 (P2) system, however, lowers loads inside of self-steering “droids.”Continue Rea… Continue reading Self-steering droids define Zipline’s new Platform 2 drone delivery service
Whether you’re an athlete or someone experiencing foot pain, it’s important to eliminate high-pressure areas in the soles of your shoes. An experimental insole could help, by showing where such areas are located during a variety of activities.Continue … Continue reading 3D-printed “smart” insoles designed for on-the-go pressure mapping
