First Lab Grown-Meat Factory

From Singapore to the International Space Station, we’re starting to see how cultured, or lab-grown, meat might soon make its way out of the lab and into everyday diets, and a newly opened factory in Israel should do plenty to help things along. Billed as the world’s first industrial production facility for cultured meat, local company Future Meat Technologies sees […]

Inflatable Light Tube For RV Camping

Utah-based outdoor gear company Klymit got its start with gas-insulated inflatable clothingover a decade ago. It has since sold off that part of the business, but inflatable design remains a cornerstone of its lineup.

Drones Eradicating Rat Invaders

Visitors to the Galapagos Islands learn about the island’s fragile ecosystem and the need to protect the lives of its endemic animals. But not every animal life is sacrosanct on these islands just 600 miles off Ecuador’s west coast. Certain rodents that start with pointy snouts and end with skinny, sparsely-haired tails are not welcome. Now, thanks to drone technology, rats have […]

Venturi Electric Polar Vehicle

With a princely heritage and sub-zero ambitions, the all-electric Venturi Antarctica has been slowly evolving for more than a decade, preparing to tackle the extreme weather and terrain of the Antarctic continent. The snow-and-ice-hungry all-terrain mini-tank enters its third iteration this month as it prepares to embark on a grand Antarctic mission in December. The latest version gains a new […]

Spinal Implant Designed To Tackle Severe Pain

By targeting the same mechanisms through which epidural anesthesia controls pain during child birth, engineers at the University of Cambridge have demonstrated a new medical implant that could offer relief from other types of severe pain.

Social media offers both free and paid ways to advertise, along with options for targeting based on demographics, interests, and behaviors to reach specific groups or segments.

Graying Hair Is Reversible?

History is littered with anecdotal evidence of the relationship between stress and graying hair, from Marie Antionette’s overnight transformation following her capture, to US presidents taking on more salt than pepper during their tenure. A new study has produced first-of-a-kind scientific evidence of this connection, identifying proteins in human hairs that seem to drive this process, while also demonstrating how […]

Harnessing The Power Of Buoyancy

The Sun doesn’t always shine exactly when you want to boil a kettle; the more we rely on renewable energy, the more energy storage we’ll need. You can store your excess electricity by using it to pump water up a hill. You can use it to compress air, or to spin up a giant flywheel, or lift a huge concrete […]
