Ditching Old-Fashioned Factories When you think of sustainability, the last thing you might think of is oversized, loud, […]
4 Ways Manufacturing Is Going Green
Fungus Based Diary Milk
Nut milks are everywhere. The nut beverage’s 2010 arrival in dairy cases helped lead to a 13% growth in milk alternatives, though it had been available in shelf-stable varieties for years. Now it’s easy to find oat, hemp, and cashew milks in a normal grocery story. Perfect Day hopes to spark a similar trend with its flora-based foods. Co-founders Perumal […]
Luxury Living Reimagined with Danny Haber
The San Francisco Bay Area has been facing a severe housing crisis for several years now, exacerbated in part by the runaway success of Silicon Valley’s booming tech industry. The irony has not been lost on residents of the area who attribute the growing homeless problem to a combination of outrageously priced rentals and homes, and excess demand fuelling price […]
Allowing Self Pilot Drone To Recharge Itself
Skydio released an impressive self-flying camera drone in early October that may well take autonomous flight to a whole new level, and it could soon have the self-charging capabilities to go with it. The company has swiftly followed up with the reveal of a portable box that acts as a recharging base station for the drone, allowing it to carry […]
Wax Wrap As An Alternative
Thai company BeeConscious has created wraps from beeswax-coated cotton, that can stand in for cling film and other plastic packaging for food. The SuperBee wraps – which are nominated for a Dezeen Award in the homeware design category – are washable and reusable for up to two years. Beeswax acts as a natural antibacterial agent, while added coconut oil and […]
3D Printed Bones And Skins From Their Own Cells
It goes without saying that there aren’t any doctors in space – which is a problem, given that the harsh environment is conducive to injuries. Now researchers from Dresden Technical University (TUD) have developed a 3D bioprinting method for use in space, creating new skin and bone tissue out of resources that might be available to astronauts. Life isn’t easy […]
Carabiner Multi Tool
If there’s one group of people who have a need for multi-tools, it’s first responders. The Fire Escape carabiner is indeed made with them in mind, although it’s also designed for use by civilians – such as campers wanting to start fires. Manufactured by Colorado-based startup Outdoor Element, the Fire Escape’s standout feature is certainly its EverSpark fire wheel. When […]
On-Location Water Analysis
If harmful microbes such as toxic cyanobacteria are present in water bodies, then the sooner that health authorities know, the better. The prototype Pelican drone is designed with that in mind, as it can autonomously perform on-location water analyses. Being developed at the Netherlands’ Delft University of Technology, the Pelican is a waterproof quadcopter that can be driven to a […]
DIY Gnats Repellant
If you’re not a fan of mosquito bites, you’re probably not a fan of gnat bites either. While gnats don’t get as much flack as mosquitoes — possibly because gnats are basically a smaller version of mosquitoes — they still pack a lot of punch. Often traveling in packs, gnats can also leave your skin covered in itchy bug bites. Not […]
Will A.I Replace Architects?
Ninety per cent of architects will lose their jobs as artificial intelligence takes over the design process, according to designer Sebastian Errazuriz. The New York-based designer made the controversial claim in a series of movies posted on his Instagram account. “I think it’s important that architects are warned as soon as possible that 90 per cent of their jobs are […]
