The man behind the Feher ACH-1 air-conditioned motorcycle helmet, as well as luxury cooling car seats, has gone a step further and built an air conditioned baseball cap designed to keep your noggin between 12° and 22° F (7° and 12° C) cooler. Continue reading Feher’s air-conditioned baseball cap is one for the hot heads
New analysis of a wasp species with facial recognition abilities indicate these complex skills evolved incredibly quickly, a trend that sheds light on the evolution of intelligence and advantageous traits as a whole. Continue reading Wasp’s facial recognition ability offers lessons in evolution
A new study is offering the first long-term insights into the efficacy of a single dose of psilocybin, in conjunction with psychotherapy, in treating depression and anxiety in patients with life-threatening cancer. Continue reading Psychedelic therapy benefits persist five years after treatment
New research suggests Parkinson’s may be present in the brain right from birth, as malfunctioning neurons are always there. Thankfully, a drug that’s already on the market could help prevent the disease from taking hold if caught early enough. Continue reading Study suggests Parkinson’s present from birth and may be preventable
Scientists in Australia have developed a new type of electronic material that is touch-responsive and just a fraction of the thickness of current smartphone screens, which could see it one day find use in next-generation mobile devices. Continue reading Ultra-thin smartphone touchscreens could be printed like a newspaper
DirecTV has been granted permission by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to send a damaged communications satellite in danger of exploding due to its severely damaged batteries into an emergency disposal trajectory. Continue reading Emergency disposal maneuver okayed for satellite at risk of exploding
Ducati’s retro-tastic Scramblers have been a huge hit for a company more accustomed to making razor-edge superbikes. Now, the Scrambler range has been extended with a pair of 1100cc bikes, the 1100 Pro and the 1100 Sport Pro. Continue reading Ducati expands Scrambler 1100 line with new Pro and Sport Pro
People with diabetes prick their fingers and test their blood glucose levels several times a day. But now researchers at MIT have developed a less invasive method using infrared light to take glucose readings from fluid just below the skin’s surface. Continue reading Non-invasive machine sees through skin to measure blood glucose
Scientists at Rice University are reporting a big breakthrough in the area of graphene production, demonstrating a new processing technique that can convert a wide range of trash products into “flash graphene” in a cheap and efficient manner. Continue reading High-value “flash graphene” can be made from cheap trash
Scientists from McGill University are suggesting a novel microdose formulation of lithium could not only slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease in its initial stages but potentially improve cognition at the early stages of decline. Continue reading Novel microdose of lithium offers hope for Alzheimer’s disease
