Smart Bandage Has Arrived
Chronic skin wounds may be notoriously difficult to treat, but at the same time they shouldn’t be over-treated, subjecting patients to more antibiotics than is necessary.

Intricate Design Morpheus May Become Macau’s Landmark
Zaha Hadid Architects has a way of designing buildings so intricate and complex that the photographs look like renderings rather than completed architecture.

Algorithm Teaches Car How To Drive
A pair of artificial intelligence Ph.Ds from Cambridge University are going all-in on machine learning as the foundation of autonomous cars. Their company, Wayve, has just released video of a kitted-out Renault Twizy teaching itself to follow a lane from scratch, over the course of about 20 minutes.

Regulating Your Dog’s Temperature
A couple of years ago, Matthew Edwards’ family dog had to be euthanized due to heat stroke. This inspired the South Carolina-based engineer to ensure that other dogs not meet the same fate – the result is the Dawg Tag core temperature-sensing harness. Currently in prototype form, the Dawg Tag contains multiple sensors that measure the dog’s body temperature at […]
Now You Can Bring Along Your Guitar When Travelling
Carry-on luggage restrictions mean that musicians can’t usually stow a guitar away in an overhead locker, so either have to pay for an extra ticket so that “Mr Les Paul” can sit in the adjacent seat or run the gauntlet and check it in.
