World’s Most Power Electric Outboard

Back in May, Vision Marine Technologies opened reservations for its all-electric E-Motion 180E outboard, offering boaters the opportunity to equip their vessels with a cleaner, quieter breed of propulsion. Not only is the 180E the world’s most powerful electric outboard, but it could soon become the world’s fastest. Vision has teamed up with Hellkats Powerboats in an effort to push […]

Porous Membrane Saves High Density Lithium Batteries From Failing

By substituting graphite for high-density pure lithium metal, scientists may be able to dramatically improve the performance of battery technology, but there are hurdles still to overcome. Scientists at Germany’s Friedrich Schiller University in Jena have now demonstrated how a finely tuned carbon membrane can prevent these types of batteries from failure, and enable them to be safely charged over […]

Flexound Augmented Audio

Flexound Augmented Audio has launched the Flexound Pulse, a cinema seating solution that creates a personal sound bubble around movie watchers for the promise of a full-range quality audio experience without the use of external loudspeakers. The Flexound Augmented Audio vibro-acoustic experience makes use of physical soundwave vibration to generate multisensory audio, and was originally developed to help autistic children. […]

LUO Studio Uses Rotating Walls

Translucent rotating walls pivot to transform the interior of this bookshop in Bejing by Chinese architecture firm LUO Studio. Located in the 479-square-metre basement space of a shopping mall in the Chinese capital, the Mumokuteki Concept Bookstore sells books as well as design objects, flowers, food and coffee. The shop occupies the mall’s former equipment room, which featured a disorderly […]

Graphene Camera Images The Electric  Field Of The Heart

Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, (UC Berkeley) have demonstrated yet another use for the ever-versatile wonder material graphene, using it as the basis for an advanced sensor that can image electrical signals from living cells and tissue in real time. The team’s “graphene camera” was used to record electrical activity of a beating heart in action, and could […]

Veki 2 Keeps Cycling Navigation Simple 

While many cyclists use apps such as Google Maps to navigate city streets, glancing down at that cluttered map display can be confusing. The Beeline Velo 2, however, is designed to keep things simple and easy to read. First of all, as the Velo 2’s name implies, it is not Beeline’s first product. The British company previously released a device […]

Bionic Display Cuts Computing Power

  Saab and Varjo Technologies are developing a new low-cost, high-resolution mixed-reality (XR) technology for flight simulators to train pilots of the Saab Gripen E/F multi-role fighter aircraft. Called Bionic Display, it cuts the computing power required by taking advantage of the way the human eye works. Simulators have become indispensable for training pilots, especially when it comes to high-performance […]

Promising Vaccine For Malaria?

The pursuit of a vaccine for malaria has always been an important one, with more than 400,000 people dying from the disease every year. But with the parasite behind it becoming resistant to drugs and the mosquitoes that spread it becoming more resistant to pesticides, there is a need for new, advanced weapons in the fight. A new technology could […]
