5 Affordable Homebuying Ideas to Give You Hope
Motion Tracking Onesie Keeps Track Of Baby Movements
In order to assess an infant’s neurological development, it’s necessary to analyze the manner in which they spontaneously move within a natural environment. A new high-tech jumpsuit could make doing so easier and more accurate than ever before. Ordinarily, a baby’s “spontaneous and voluntary movements” are observed when the child is visiting a pediatrician’s office. Unfortunately, this only provides a […]
Indigenous Technologies
Indigenous communities are pioneers of technologies that offer solutions to climate change, according to designer and environmentalist Julia Watson. In her new book, LO–TEK Design by Radical Indigenism, Watson argues that tribal communities, seen by many as primitive, are highly advanced when it comes to creating systems in symbiosis with the natural world. “There are so many examples,” she told […]
Harvesting Humidity To Generate Electricity
We’ve already heard about so-called “fog harps” that use thin wires to collect airborne water droplets, providing drinking water even in arid regions. Well, an experimental new device also uses wires to capture water vapor, although it proceeds to generate electricity. Developed by a team at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the air-powered generator (or “Air-gen”) incorporates an ultra-thin film […]
Koenigsegg Gemera 4 Seater
Other supercar makers are busy expanding out into the world of SUVs, but Koenigsegg is just now getting around to introducing its first two-door with four seats. And if you’re worried that means a muddying of the purity of performance the Swedish brand is built on, fear not because the “world’s first mega-GT” is an all-out performance machine like every […]
Predictive System For Future Cars
In cars with automatic transmissions, the point at which the vehicle shifts gears isn’t just about its current speed – or at least, it shouldn’t be. With that in mind, Hyundai and Kia have developed a system that preemptively shifts gears based on the road ahead. Described as being the first of its kind, the setup is known as the […]
Bluetooth Candle Wick
Lighting a candle is not that difficult to do, although if you have to light a bunch of the things on a daily basis, it could be a bit of a hassle. That’s where Candle Touch comes in, as it’s an actual flame-and-wax candle that’s lit by Bluetooth. The Candle Touch device itself consists of a base containing the rechargeable […]
Modular Mountain Bike Pedals
While plastic mountain bike pedals tend to be lighter and cheaper than their aluminum counterparts, they certainly don’t last as long. Canadian company Squidworx has set out to combine the best features of both, with its Modular Flat Pedal. At the heart of each pedal is a sealed steel axle, contained within a central 6061-aluminum body. Attached horizontally to either […]
Retina Tracking Tech Excels At Assessing Neurological Disorders
For some time now, the tracking of eye movements has served as a means of assessing neurological health. A new system is said to do so more precisely than ever, providing highly accurate readings in just 10 seconds. Developed by Berkeley, California-based C. Light Technologies, the setup is centered around a device known as a Tracking Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (TSLO). […]
E05 Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera
The EOS R was first introduced in September 2018. The full-frame mirrorless camera system was joined by a second, cheaper, model the following year and now Canon has revealed it’s working on another – the R5. “Today’s announcement comes as a direct result of the tireless effort of Canon engineers who have been tasked with developing the next generation […]
