In order to monitor their wearers’ movements, smart fabrics typically incorporate strain-measuring sensors. And while such sensors are often impractically fragile, Harvard University scientists have created a new one that can really take a beating.Cont… Continue reading “Smart fabric” strain sensor combines strength and sensitivity
Back in April, we took a look at the French-designed Exod Home, an innovative inflatable hammock-tent for backcountry or frontcountry glamping. At such a shaky time during the early days of the COVID-19 lockdowns, the four-figure tent’s future felt qui… Continue reading Exod pumps and pitches its inflatable ground + tree tent
Morfuns Bicycle started work on a lightweight folding ebike called the Éole back in December last year, which boasts a carbon fiber frame, a one-size-fits-all design, and a battery in the seatpost, a design that the company claims it was one of the fir… Continue reading Carbon fiber folding ebike designed to be an easy between-ride carry
Kellys’ gorgeous new Theos F ebike sports an innovative frame made from thermoplastic hybrid steel-carbon composite that’s twice as impact-resistant, twice as durable, and no heavier than a comparable frame made from conventional resin carbon fiber.Con… Continue reading Stunning Theos F e-mountain bike is twice as tough as carbon fiber
Many a hacker spent their high school years picking up a few new skills in workshop classes. Whether it be woodworking, welding, or the patient, delicate skill of technical drawing, they’ve been a mainstay of secondary education for decades. However, composites are new enough that they aren’t a major feature …read more

More and more, workplaces are using assistive exoskeletons to protect their employees from injury. One of the newest, the 4th-generation version of German Bionic’s Cray X, features a lightweight carbon fiber frame.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotics, Te… Continue reading Carbon fiber exoskeleton is the latest to boost worker safety
Strength may indeed be one of the selling points of carbon fiber bicycles, but many riders still worry about breaking the things if they push them too hard. That’s where the Superstrata bike comes in, as its frame is 3D printed from one continuous piec… Continue reading Superstrata bike’s carbon frame is printed in one custom-size piece
A startup spun out of Australia’s Deakin University has leveraged its knowledge in organic chemistry and aerospace engineering to produce the world’s first recycled carbon fiber surfboard. Pitched as not just a way of preventing waste going to landfill… Continue reading JUC Surf drops in with the world’s first recycled carbon surfboard
While sit-on-top kayaks have become very popular with anglers, most of the boats are fairly tubby, heavy, plastic-bodied things. Apex Watercraft’s Tyr is different, though, in that it’s sleek, lightweight, and made of carbon fiber.
