After seven years of development, engineer Justin Lee created Vessyl, a smart cup that helps people master their health by tracking their liquid intake. The cup has sensors built into the walls that measure the amount of liquid consumed and identify contents so Vessyl can break down things like calories, sugar, protein, and caffeine content via molecular analysis. The information is […]

Ever wondered how cool it would be if you could charge up your mobile phone by simply placing it in your pocket? Well now you can! British designer, A. Sauvage, has created the first ever pair of wireless charging trousers for London Collections: ‘Modern Man’. The technology (known as inductive charging) comes from the new Nokia DC-50 wireless charging plate for Lumia […]

StoreDot’s technology for energy storage can be applied in batteries for mobile devices, providing a sustainable solution that can replace lithium-ion batteries. Due to the size of StoreDot nanodots, the electrode capacitance is increased, resulting in next-generation batteries and super-capacitors that can be fully charged in minutes rather than hours. Nanodots are bio-organic peptide molecules that change the rules of […]

The 3D printing revolution is almost at the point where there can be a printer in any home. But what about using a printer to build the house itself? The Dutch company DUS Architects is working on doing just that. They’ve developed a 3D printer 10 times the size of ordinary ones. It’s called the KamerMaker, which means Room Builder, […]

Looking Glass is the world’s first volumetric printing service over the past year so that we could bring any 3D scene from digital space into the real world in magazine-resolution color.  A bioluminescent jellyfish. An amoeba magnified 100X. A boa constrictor consuming an elephant. This isn’t likely something you’ve seen in 3D object printing or holography before. Volumetric 3D scenes in millions […]

Chui is a no frills security system that memorizes the contours of a person’s face so that at a press of a button one time, instant access is granted or denied.If you are a mom and you’re tired of your kids losing their keys but don’t want to leave a spare under the mat or in some “hiding place,” Chui […]

Portuguese startup Ynvisible submitted its project on crowd funding platform Kickstarter. The project, called Printoo, is an open-source, paper-thin, flexible, and modular Arduino-compatible platform. Printoo runs Arduino software and is modular, making it extremely easy to create new projects.The first Printoo packs include novel printed modules including LED light strips from VTT, printed batteries from Blue Spark Technologies and Enfucell, organic […]

The Singapore Economic Development Board has created one of the most interesting brewing units the world has ever seen: the Coffee Connector. Here’s a machine which removes all awkwardness of initial contact, and as a bonus, gives you and your new acquaintance a cup of hot coffee. The device senses when two people are standing in front of it, waiting […]

Nissan is currently testing out a prototype that it says could make car washes a relic of the past. The test car benefits from a new nano-paint treatment that repels dirt and grime. The automaker is putting the car through the dirty wringer to see how well it holds up in the real world. Not only can car washes be […]

Owning a number of different devices can often mean having to regularly transfer data between them to keep them synced, or storing private information in the cloud. Offering a truly connected alternative, Seed is a set of mobile and computer products that use the processing power and data of a single docked smartphone. Designed by South Africa-based computer engineering student Nick Rout, […]
