As 3D-printed electrical circuits become more widely produced, the problem of electronic waste could correspondingly get worse. That’s why Swiss scientists have developed a new natural-source “e-ink” that biodegrades once discarded.Continue ReadingCate… Continue reading Biodegradable e-ink makes for eco-friendlier 3D-printed electronics
New Frontier Design has made a name for itself crafting luxurious tiny houses like the Escher and Orchid. Its latest model maintains a similar style but is smaller and simpler, and offers a compact interior layout that puts the focus on the view with f… Continue reading Luna tiny house puts the focus firmly on the view
Palo Alto startup Archer has started flight tests with its autonomous, two-seat Maker demonstration aircraft, fulfilling a promise it made when it popped out of stealth mode 18 months ago to start demo flights by the end of 2021.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Archer celebrates the first flight of its Maker eVTOL
The mosquitofish is a harmful invasive species in much of the world, outcompeting and overwhelming native fish and other aquatic life. Scientists are now working on a solution to the problem, in the form of a robotic bass.Continue ReadingCategory: Scie… Continue reading Robo-bass used to protect native tadpoles from invasive mosquitofish
Back in May, UK electric mobility company Arrival partnered with US mobility-as-a-service provider Uber to work on an electric vehicle built for ride-hailing drivers and passengers. Now the first working prototype of the Arrival Car has been revealed.C… Continue reading Arrival reveals first prototype of electric car developed with Uber
We’ve seen a good many indoor growing systems over the years, aimed at supplying users who perhaps don’t have an outdoor garden with a steady supply of greens throughout the year. Many of these have been Kickstarters, but now LG is looking to get in on… Continue reading LG’s smart indoor gardening system offers growers year-round veggies
A new type of storm has been discovered in the skies over the Indian Ocean. Named “atmospheric lakes,” these events are slow-moving pools of concentrated water vapor that can last for days.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Rain, Tropi… Continue reading Newfound type of storm is a 1,000-km-wide puddle in the sky
The continuing rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, also known as superbugs, is a growing concern, with some experts predicting they could kill millions per year by 2050. These bugs are evolving to evade our very best drugs, but knowing which ones ar… Continue reading Targeting “pre-resistant” bacteria could stop superbugs from forming
French company Airseas has installed its first half-size automated Seawing kite to a cargo ship chartered by Airbus, and will commence six months of trials in January. The full-size kite is estimated to save up to 20 percent of fuel burn and emissions…. Continue reading Airseas installs its first fuel-saving auto-kite on a cargo ship
Berkeley Lab engineers have developed a roof coating that can keep a building warmer or cooler, depending on the weather. When it’s warm out, the material will reflect sunlight and heat, but this radiative cooling automatically switches off in winter, … Continue reading Smart roof coating reflects heat in summer and traps it in winter
