Smart Insoles
You may remember the smart jacket that Google and Levi’s launched under the Project Jacquard umbrella – an initiative to add extra smarts to clothing. Now there’s a new Jacquard product on sale in the form of smart insoles developed with Adidas. The Adidas GMR (pronounced “gamer”) insoles slide into your soccer boots and keep track of your shots, sprints, […]
Folded Plastic Kayak
While kayaks are great for exploring your local waterways, they’re also pretty awkward to transport – especially if you don’t have a car-top carrier. The Tucktec is designed with that in mind, as it folds together from a single sheet of plastic. Invented by South Carolina-based paddler Dan Norton, the Tucktec measures 10 ft long (305 cm) by 31 inches […]
Carving Skateboard Party
It was just a couple of weeks ago that we heard about the Freebord 5-X, the latest in a series of skateboards that let users carve into corners, snowboard-style. Well, the Traqpod has now hit Kickstarter, offering its own unique take on the concept. Designed by Barcelona-based startup La Revolta, the Traqpod features trucks that extend out from beneath the […]

Electrified Wellhouse Camper Van
An electrified camper van has long been an attractive idea, but only recently have we been seeing the kind of robust EV platforms needed to make it a reality. On the plug-in hybrid side, one new example is the Ford Transit Custom PHEV, which has already paved the way for the Globevan e.Hybrid that Dethleffs introduced last year. Now British […]
Rechargeble Concept Tire
We love a good concept tire here at New Atlas. Incremental improvements aside, the wheel-to-road interface has been more or less stagnant since Goodyear rolled out the first commercial tubeless tire some 66 years ago. Now, the same company has proposed a radically different design with the new age of electric mobility in mind. Electric cars, of course, will theoretically […]
Voice-Following Hearing Aid
Even in noisy environments, most of us are able to understand what another person is saying by “focusing” our hearing on their voice. Although regular hearing aids are currently unable to do so, that may change if a new prototype reaches production. The ability to mentally follow a select person’s voice, while filtering out distracting background noise, is known as […]
Modified Battery Separator
Battery researchers place a lot of focus on making the devices safer, and scientists at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) are reporting a promising advance in this area. The team’s newly developed safety feature acts as a “spillway” in lithium metal batteries to stem the flow of electrons that takes place during a failure, preventing a rapid buildup […]
