Vietnam’s Bandit9 has dropped a new two-wheeler into the e-scooter pond it’s not quite like anything we’ve seen before. Part urban mobility solution and part fashion statement, the shiny, stainless steel Nano e-scooter looks like it was plucked straigh… Continue reading Bandit9’s shiny and affordable electric scooter rocks liquid-metal style
Having been domesticated many thousands of years ago, dogs have evolved to become highly attuned to human behavior, but a study has taken this concept into new terrain. The authors conducted experiments to explore whether canines can detect increasing … Continue reading Study demonstrates dogs can detect the smell of human stress
Technology that delivers insulin orally rather than via regular injections would be a game-changing advance in medical science, and MIT scientists have been working fervently toward this aim over many years. Their latest creation is a drug capsule that… Continue reading Motorized capsules burrow through mucus for oral insulin delivery
The progression of Parkinson’s is characterized by a deterioration in motor control, and researchers are beginning to explore how this might be monitored via a person’s walking patterns. A new MIT system aims to bring this into the home, wirelessly tracking a patient’s gait to offer evaluations of Parkinson’s severity with a new level of precision.

iRobot has rolled out its first entry in the world of vacuum and mopping combination robots with what it says is the most advanced system of its type. The newly introduced Roomba Combo j7+ features a retractable mop head that swings up and out of the w… Continue reading First 2-in-1 Roomba vacuums, mops, and keeps your carpet dry
If the thought of a two-legged robot chasing you down in the streets keeps you up at night, then you can sleep easy … for now. A droid named Cassie has set a Guinness World Record for the 100-meter dash by a bipedal robot, and while it’s far from the b… Continue reading Bipedal Cassie sets Guinness World Record for robotic 100-meter sprint
Dozens of Earth-based telescopes were trained on the Dimorphos asteroid as it was struck by NASA’s DART spacecraft yesterday, but scientists also had some eyes in the sky. A nearby CubeSat satellite deployed specifically to photograph the event from cl… Continue reading “Mini-photographer” CubeSat relays explosive pics of NASA asteroid crash
Research continues to demonstrate how the health benefits of weight training go far beyond cultivating the ideal beach body. The latest study to shed light on this topic explores the links between muscle-strengthening activities and risk of death, and … Continue reading One hour of weekly weight training could cut risk of death by 20%
As Florida braces for a strengthening Hurricane Ian, which is expected to bring powerful storms and flooding rainfall to the state, NASA is taking no chances with its massive Moon rocket and Orion capsule. Teams working on the Artemis I mission have ma… Continue reading NASA’s massive Moon rocket hauled inside to shelter from Hurricane Ian
Scientists experimenting with key components in lithium batteries have come up with a promising new design that could one day see electric vehicles charge much faster, and offer twice the range at the same time. The breakthrough centers on a new, thick… Continue reading Thickened battery electrodes hint at fast-charging EVs with doubled range
