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 […]

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?

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.

Light-Up Helmets
We’ve seen a few different head- and tail-light-equipped bike helmets over the past several years, and some of the things have looked pretty … flashy. The Faro is a bit different, though, in that it has a classier, more refined appearance. Designed by American startup Unit 1, the Faro features a narrow strip of 15 white LEDs in front, a […]
Glove Based System
If you’ve ever tried controlling a drone with a traditional joystick unit, you’ll know that it’s difficult to get the hang of. An experimental new system, however, lets people actually write letters in the air with a drone, using a special glove.
