Microneedle patch beats baldness by boosting blood flow to the follicles

Recent advances have put some interesting possibilities on the table when it comes to tackling hair loss, from topical solutions packed with stem cells, to 3D-printed hair farms, to growing hair with a patient’s own cells. Scientists in China are now t… Continue reading Microneedle patch beats baldness by boosting blood flow to the follicles

Sea-Doo upsizes with fully modular, handlebar-steered pontoons

Sea-Doo has gotten a little less “personal” with its watercraft lineup, launching the Switch family of pontoon boats to carry up to nine people on the water. The Switch pontoons remain Sea-Doo to the core, though, bringing together PWC-style handlebar … Continue reading Sea-Doo upsizes with fully modular, handlebar-steered pontoons

Tready robot uses treaded flippers to overcome obstacles

When it comes to robots designed for traversing rough terrain, there are typically treaded and legged models. The new Tready robot, however, combines the best of both approaches, by utilizing its four treaded “flippers.”Continue ReadingCategory: Roboti… Continue reading Tready robot uses treaded flippers to overcome obstacles

Old wind turbine blades may find use in “green” stand-up paddleboards

Although stand-up paddleboards are very eco-friendly to use, they’re typically made of not-so-green substances. German scientists are trying to change that, with a board made entirely of sustainable materials – obtained partially from old wind turbine … Continue reading Old wind turbine blades may find use in “green” stand-up paddleboards

Two radically new kiteboats hope to smash the speed sailing record

Syroco's #1 challenge is to design a supercavitating hydrofoil that won't produce shuddering instability

Two teams, Switzerland’s SP80 and France’s Syroco, are taking aim at the world speed sailing record in 2022, with a pair of thoroughly remarkable kiteboats that both teams believe can smash previous records, targeting top speeds up to 80 knots (92 mph/148 km/h).

Crystal prism provides better control to quantum computer chips

As revolutionary as they could be, quantum computers still have a few kinks to iron out, such as controlling more than a few dozen qubits at once. Now, researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have found a way to control potentially mill… Continue reading Crystal prism provides better control to quantum computer chips
