When it comes to gimbal-stabilized HD cameras, we’re used to models that are attached to control handles, or that are mounted on drones. What if you want one that’s just a stand-alone unit, though? Well, that’s where the Stacam comes in…

Although they may not be as well-known as “exciting” dinosaurs such as the Tyrannosaurus, the duck-billed hadrosaurs were the most common plant-eating dinosaurs at the end of the Mesozoic Era. Now, a newly-classified member of the group appea… Continue reading "New" duck-billed dinosaur is actually one of the oldest
When buildings are being insulated or torn down, a lot of waste “mineral wool”-type insulation ends up in the landfill. Thanks to new research, however, that material may soon instead find use in an improved type of construction mortar…
Co… Continue reading Discarded insulation wool finds use in better mortar
EasyMile’s EZ10 self-driving shuttle buses have already been trialled in Singapore, California, Switzerland, and Finland. Now, one has also entered use in what is being called regional Australia’s first automated vehicle trial…

Quads are great for traversing rough terrain, while golf carts are well-suited to short low-speed jaunts. So, what happens if you want a vehicle with the qualities of both? Well, that’s where the Ripper ATV is designed to come in…

For many years now, newly-developed aircraft have been required to pass tests indicating that they could withstand mid-air collisions with birds. No such standardized testing exists for the growing possibility of collisions with drones, howev… Continue reading Fraunhofer developing a drone-strike test for aircraft
How safe would you feel, going back into a multi-story building that had just been through an earthquake? A new sensor system could allay your fears, as it optically measures how much a building has swayed, and thus how damaged it may be…

When a spinal cord injury occurs, sometimes it’s the body’s own immune system that causes the subsequent paralysis. In the not-too-distant future, however, it’s possible that an injection of nanoparticles at the injury site may be able to rei… Continue reading Injected after accidents, nanoparticles could prevent paralysis
Getting a filling isn’t always the end of a tooth’s cavity problems. Sometimes, bacteria is able to get down between the filling and the surface of the tooth, causing another cavity to occur. A new antibacterial dental restorative material, h… Continue reading Antibacterial filling material is aimed at keeping cavities from recurring
Let’s face it: due to the amount of thrust required to lift a person off the ground, practical personal jetpacks may never exist – at least, not for use in the air. Underwater jetpacks, however, are another story. We’ve seen a few lately, wit… Continue reading SubCruiser takes a unique approach to underwater jetpacking
