Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a smart bandage that changes color to signal either drug-resistant or drug-sensitive bacteria. It can then be triggered to release antibiotics or other chemicals to kill off the bugs. Continue reading Smart bandage changes color to indicate infection – and fights it
The camera on your iPhone is already pretty impressive, but it’s no match for a truly high-quality camera that comes loaded with a wide-angle lens. Continue reading Transform your iPhone into an HD camera with this attachable lens
Scientists at Caltech and Stanford University have developed a tiny prosthetic that gives jellyfish an ability to swim faster while using less energy, all with the aim of one day using them to monitor the ocean environment. Continue reading Prosthetic device enables bionic jellyfish to swim three times faster
Underwater glacier melting can be hard to study. But now, researchers have used robotic kayaks to monitor plumes of freshwater coming from beneath glaciers, and found that they’re melting much faster than we thought. Continue reading Robotic kayaks reveal glaciers are melting much faster underwater
Alpine has unveiled the concept car it’s bringing to the Automobile Festival of the Invalides in Paris. A rally-inspired take on its A110, the SportsX features lifted suspension, a bunch of bodywork changes, a blacked-out top… And some skis.
