It can be challenging, growing delicate plants from seeds. A group of Korean entrepreneurs is out to make the process easier – and techier – with the Wi-Fi-connected, water-pump-equipped and smartphone-controlled Bloomengine. Users start by placing an included disc-shaped peat pellet in water, and allowing it to expand. That expanded pellet is then put in the bottom section of the […]

New Eco “Unprinting Process”
Although eco-minded people do send their discarded paper off to be recycled, the recycling process isn’t entirely environmentally-friendly – it generally requires a lot of power, and incorporates toxic chemicals. Now, however, scientists have developed a new method of simply removing the printed text from sheets of paper, so they can be reused. First of all, we have already seen […]
Through The Lens Of Faith
Daniel Libeskind has designed an outdoor installation called Through the Lens of Faith in Poland to showcase photographer Caryl Englander’s portraits of Auschwitz-Birkenau survivors. Through the Lens of Faith is a series of three-metre-high steel panels lining a path near the Auschwitz Memorial and Museum in O?wi?cim. Libeskind chose the pattern of the vertical panels and the striping on the walkway between them […]
Aftersocks Provide Relief For Your Feet
A beautiful pair of shoes can be hard to resist, and even harder to resist showing off. But beautiful doesn’t necessarily mean comfortable, so a night on the town can leave a woman’s feet screaming for relief.

C Seed Aims For Outdoor Dominance

Future Lunar Outpost
Space engineers have long considered lunar soil as locally available material for building outposts on the Moon, and now ESA researchers are considering it as a means to store energy. The Discovery & Preparation study by the agency and Azimut Space aims to determine how the lunar regolith can soak up solar energy during the day, then use it to […]
Wireless Pedal Control On Guitar
Back in 2016 we tried out a funky tremolo stomp that was wirelessly controlled by an on-guitar device called the Aero. We liked it. A lot. But sadly the company which made the system went bankrupt in late 2017. Wireless effects control didn’t die with Aalberg Audio though, as Aviate Audio in the US is this week showing off the […]
Dynamic, Reprogrammable Material
Materials that change their properties in response to different environmental triggers promise all kinds of versatility for all kinds of applications, and an international team of scientists has just come up with a particularly inventive one. With an ability to stiffen up under a certain type of light and go soft in the dark, the new material shows particular promise […]
