One method of 3D printing involves selectively exposing liquid resin to ultraviolet (UV) light, causing that resin to harden into a solid. Now, scientists have developed a new resin that works with safer, more energy-efficient visible light. Although it is already possible to use visible light on photosensitive resins, the hardening process is quite slow, making it impractical for real-world […]
New 3D Printing Resin Optimised For Visible Light
Electric U-Shift Takes Modular Approach
The German Aerospace Center has revealed a working prototype of a multi-use urban mobility and logistics vehicle called U-Shift, which is made up of an electric U-shaped base platform that’s used to ferry around various pod modules. Germany’s national aeronautics and space research center, or Deutsches Zentrum für Luft und Raumfahrt (DLR) to use its proper moniker, currently sees […]
Roomba-Inspired Docking Station
Underwater robots that operate autonomously could find use in all kinds of areas, from studying the ocean to the exploration of other planets. Scientists at Purdue University have developed a type of mobile docking station that not only enables these machines to stop by for a recharge, but offload their data at the same time, offering a way for them […]
Small Swedish Town Becomes Home To Urban Development Experiment
Stockholm-based architecture firm Anders Berensson Architects has unveiled designs for the Tibro Train Tracks, an ongoing urban development project to transform an abandoned track area in the Swedish town of Tibro into an innovative hub for urban planning experiments. Commissioned by the municipality of Tibro with support from the ArkDes Swedish Center for Architecture and Design, the practice-based research project […]
Hybrid 3D Printing Tech Produces Plastic Metal Items
While it’s possible to 3D-print plastic or metal items, printing single items made of both materials is still quite difficult. Scientists have developed a new method of doing so, however, that could lead to increased production of fully functional 3D-printed electronics. First of all, it is already possible to coat 3D-printed plastic items with metal. Doing so involves submerging the […]
Polar’s New Fitness Smartwatch
Polar has a new fitness-orientated smartwatch, and it’s not for the faint of heart. The Polar Vantage V2 is designed for hardcore fitness fanatics and athletes, with a massive range of in-depth features that will appeal to people whose lives revolve around exercise, but will baffle someone who reluctantly goes to the gym a couple of times a week. The […]
3 Ways How UX Helps Your Business Grow Fast
User Experience (UX) plays a critical role in business survival today. It provides your business with a competitive edge and has the potential to lead to exponential business growth. According to Forrester, UX has a 9,900% ROI. Every $1 invested in UX results in a $100 return. This type of insane ROI is something marketers shouldn’t ignore. Return on investment […]
Wellow Eco Friendly’s Deodorant
Hopefully, deodorant is a daily part of your life. You use it after a shower, you buy more when you run out, but you probably don’t think about deodorant much. Well, it’s time to start. Most deodorant comes in a plastic tube with a plastic top, both of which eventually get tossed in the trash. Every time you go through […]
Skateboard or Car?
When we first encountered REE’s ultra-modular EV chassis, we struggled to know what to make of it. Speaking to CEO Daniel Barel, we couldn’t seem to pin down any specifics. What is it? A flat, modular vehicle chassis in which all steering, suspension, motor, gearbox and braking functions are bundled up into removable, replaceable “corner units” in the wheels. These […]
Sony’s Smallest And Lightest Full Frame Camera
The benefits of full-frame mirrorless cameras are well known; chiefly, a big sensor tends to offer much better low-light performance than a small one, plus they allow you to use super-thin depth of field to define your subject and blur out the background. The drawbacks tend to be that they’re more expensive, they use big, heavy and pricey lenses, and […]
