Nobody likes buildings that are too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter. That's where the FlectoLine facade comes in, as it uses not just one but two bio-inspired mechanisms to automatically regulate how much solar thermal energy gets through
US tests world's first hypersonic jet engine that hits Mach 6 straight from runways
Researchers have designed a robotic material that transforms like a living organism.
Today we take a trip to Theo Laser Inc. to see them demonstrate their new advanced laser welding machines. We were amazed by how much easier and efficient laser welding is compared to traditional methods. Make sure to check out their website with the
probably shouldn't have done this…
Although soft-bodied robots themselves can be fairly simple, low-cost devices, they typically require complex onboard electronics to control their locomotion.
Ultraviolet light is well-known for its ability to kill germs, including ones that cause food to spoil. And while there doesn't tend to be any food-preserving UV light in our refrigerators, a new consumer device is out to change that.
There's no replacement for displacement. An adage that's been around as long as the combustion engine, really. But these age-old sayings don't really apply anymore when it comes to electric motors.
CHEAP SUPER LASERS!... What to expect when they arrive?...
Northwestern University engineers have developed a pacemaker so small that it can fit inside the tip of a syringe and be non-invasively injected into the body, according to a new study published in Nature.
I admit, I held off from covering this peculiar electric motorcycle for fear that people might not take me seriously in the wake of April Fools' Day. But this wind/solar motorcycle is as real as it can get, and is even available for purchase!
A clever startup that turns "unconventional ideas into practical and unique products" has created a lightweight and convenient notebook that lets you write, erase and write again, bridging the gap between traditional paper pads and digital note-takin
I know, stacking dimes takes years of practice, and admittedly, there's a lot of pride that goes into showing off those perfect dime-shaped beads...
Solar cells are subjected to a lot of harmful ultraviolet light, as they're typically placed for maximum sunlight exposure. A new eco-friendly coating could help protect them from those UV rays, and its active ingredient is extracted from onion skin.
Harnessing a principle known as triboelectrification, researchers have worked out the optimal way to generate an electrical charge in a relatively simple way. The breakthrough could provide a battery-free way to power wearables and other devices.
Have you ever dreamt of flying like a superhero? Well it looks like that dream may soon become a reality! Today, we're diving into the world of some of the craziest and most innovative flying inventions that will completely change how you think abo
How's this for a set of promises? Flint Engineering claims its new, flat, thermal-transfer "IsoMat" can power entire homes, cut refrigerator energy consumption by 30%, and radically speed up EV charging while also extending battery life.
Those tiny colorful dinosaur toys that grow bigger underwater might hold the key to protecting astronauts as they journey through space.
Bosch has just completed testing its new new brake-by-wire technology on public roads.
Researchers at Cornell University have been working on batteries that can 'flow' through the internal structures of robots, kind of like how blood in humans' veins powers our bodies.
Augmented reality comes to deep-sea divers, thanks to the US Navy's Office of Naval Research (ONR) and Coda Octopus's Divers Augmented Vision Display (DAVD) system. The setup turns any standard diving hard helmet into a digital information center.
James Bruton is a serial crazy-contraption inventor, from a Lego longboard to a self-balancing mecanum-wheeled "Screw bike." Now he's done it again with might be the most bizarre, big-red-balled self-balancing electric bike with five motors to power
"It's not the heat, it's the humidity." That adage applies indoors as well as out, which is where an experimental new material comes in. It absorbs humidity within rooms, reducing the need to run power-hungry ventilation systems.
In what they're calling the "highest density of mechanical bonds ever achieved," researchers created a super-strong flexible material that works very much like chainmail. The breakthrough has already demonstrated its ability to improve body armor.
Six years on from the first iMicro smartphone microscope, the team has unveiled its latest: the iMicro Q3p, a fingertip-sized, lightweight device that makes microscopy inexpensive, portable and accessible to anyone with a camera on their phone.
So what are we tossing this into?
We've rounded up the best new gear and gadgets from CES 2025. Products range from practical to moonshots with everything in between.
As promised, newly minted electric powertrain startup Donut Lab has premiered its first batch of all-electric motors you can see straight through.
A few years ago, Finnish-Estonian startup Verge launched a wild motorcycle with a rear wheel so hollow you could stick a leg straight through it.
Billions of People Could Benefit from This Breakthrough in Desalination That Ensures Freshwater for the World
