One of the many ways scientists are working to unravel the mysteries of Alzheimer’s is by conducting experiments on mice that have been genetically engineered to develop the disease. Researchers pondering the protective potential of compounds found in green tea and carrots have again taken this route and returned some promising results, with the Alzheimer’s mice demonstrating unimpaired cognitive function […]
Green Tea & Carrots Can Reverse Alzheimer Symptoms?

The giant wholesale and auction market, under construction in the foothills of east Tainan, was commissioned by Tainan City Government Agriculture Bureau to create a food supply hub for the district. MVRDV worked with local studio LLJ […]
Mind Controlled UDrone
How much more fun could drones be if you got fiddly hand controllers out of the way and flew them with your mind? That’s the question EEGSmart poses with its UDrone mini-quad, which responds to brainwaves and head movements instead of thumbsticks. It’s not perfect, but it does give a glimpse of a mind-controlled future. The Udrone itself is fairly […]
Self Powered Stop Signs Lights Up To Alert Drivers
According to the Federal Highway Administration, 54 percent of all US traffic fatalities occur on rural roads. Many of those accidents are in turn caused by drivers not seeing stop signs. New technology could help, by illuminating flashing lights on those signs in response to approaching vehicles. Developed by a team led by professors Sara Ahmed and Samer Dessouky, from […]
This E-Bike Automatically Helps You To Modulate The Power
On a typical e-bike, you choose between different levels of electrical assistance. While the temptation is to select the maximum, what if that uses up the battery before you reach your destination? The French-designed iweech e-bike is claimed to automatically select the optimum level, so you do get where you’re going, but with minimal effort. As you regularly ride the […]
Breakthrough In Welding Metal & Glass Much Faster Now
Traditionally, welding has been limited to materials that share similar properties, so it’s tough to make even aluminum and steel join forces. But now, scientists from Heriot-Watt University are claiming a breakthrough method that can weld together materials as different as glass and metal, thanks to ultrafast laser pulses. Currently metals can be welded to metals and glass to glass, […]
New Tooth Tech
When you get a cavity filled, you may just assume that the fix will last indefinitely. In fact, though, fillings do have a limited lifespan. That said, a new dental material – and a new adhesive to keep it inside the tooth – could allow fillings to last longer than ever before. Developed by scientists at Oregon Health and Science […]
Back Pedal A Better Solution For Back Pain?
Did you know that back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide? Low-back pain costs Americans at least $50 billion in health care costs each year. There are lots of causes and reasons behind back pain. There are also tons of at-home solutions that pop up all over the internet. What if you could have a doctor approved device […]
“On The Go” Clean Space
While some businesses or research facilities have a constant need for a cleanroom, there are others that only require one once in a while – or perhaps they sometimes need to set one up in the field. It was with such scenarios in mind that the CAPE portable cleanroom was created.’ Developed by Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and […]
