GelenK is based on a complex and dense future city. This design will display merit in a region where there are a number of cars and narrow intersections regardless of a planned city or not. It will solve a problem that existing trucks couldn’t comprehend downtown and the outside at one time. Existing large trucks could not perform their function well in a complex city and small trucks transporting in the city were not proper for long-distance driving. However, this design can satisfy both functi...

This winter, you should do your hands a favour. Even on the coldest winter days, keep your hands warm with the Thermo Gloves, the first wireless and rechargeable heated gloves worldwide that even fit underneath your other gloves. Thermo Gloves provide your hands with pleasant warmth and thus offer ideal comfort for the winter. Wear the Thermo Gloves as outer gloves, or pull on your own gloves over them. No matter whether these are mittens for taking a walk, or skiing gloves, or rubber gloves for...

German apparel giant Adidas has created a prototype for a sustainable new shoe made almost entirely from recycled garbage pulled from the ocean, the company announced on Monday. The upper shoe is made entirely of yarns and filaments reclaimed from illegal deep-sea gillnets and other ocean waste, while the base is made from sustainable cushioning material. To call ocean pollution a big problem is an understatement. According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization,...

The latest creation from Aldebaran, Pepper is the first humanoid robot designed to live with humans. Pepper is a social robot able to converse with you, recognize and react to your emotions, move and live autonomously. Engaging and friendly, Pepper is much more than a robot, he’s a companion able to communicate with you through the most intuitive interface we know, voice, touch and emotions. Created for SoftBank Mobile, one of the largest mobile phone operators in Japan- Pepper is already gre...

A Dutch startup has unveiled plans to use robotic printers to weld the structure drop-by-drop in the first large-scale test of the technology. The company has unveiled plans to build the world’s first 3D-printed bridge across an Amsterdam canal, a technique that could become standard on future construction sites. Using robotic printers “that can ‘draw’ steel structures in 3D, we will print a (pedestrian) bridge over water in the centre of Amsterdam,” engineering startup company MX3D said in a st...

Europe has launched the Lisa Pathfinder satellite, an exquisite space physics experiment. It will test the technologies needed to detect gravitational waves, the warping of space-time produced by cataclysmic events in the cosmos. Having such a capability would make it possible to detect the merger of monster black holes, a marker for the growth of galaxies through time. Lisa Pathfinder went into orbit on a Vega rocket from French Guiana. The satellite is being sent in the direction of the Sun, t...

Invented by Dr. Wayne B. Hayes, a professor at the University of California and a visiting scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., the "Cold Shoulder" calorie-burning vest apparently is based on hard science, rather than science fiction. According to info on Kickstarter, scientists have spent decades studying how mild cold exposure can enhance calorie burn, and the results seem to show that it works. Hayes works with NASA scientists who purportedly study ice, so he ...

Oxfordshire-based Reaction Engines are developing a new aerospace engine class that combines both jet and rocket technologies. They call it the greatest advance in propulsion since the jet engine which will help potentially revolutionizing hypersonic flight and dramatically reducing the cost of space access. SABRE, which stands for Synergetic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine, is designed to enable aircraft to operate from a standstill on the runway to hypersonic flight in the atmosphere, and then tra...
