Some animals are just cute the way they are now, i.e. small and cuddly. But what if, they weren’t? Case-in-point: penguins. And if you think Emperor Penguin, which can grow to a height of 48 inches (122 centimeters), already failed to qualify for the “small and cuddly” accolade, then just imagine a penguin that was […]

Samsung Rocks The Mobile industry With The First 108 MP Image Sensor For Smartphone
So, you think mobile photography will never surpass or even on par with DSLR imaging prowess? Well, think again. Samsung has just announced a break through in mobile imaging with the industry’s first 108 megapixel image sensor for smartphone. One-hundred-and-eight! Holy cow. That’s a resolution that is equivalent to that of a high-end DSLR camera. […]
Wearable Robotic Tail Aims To Gift Humans What Evolution Failed To Provide Us: Balance
Why human beings do not have a tail is simply because, we can balanced ourselves perfectly under normal situations. However, very obviously evolution did not expect us to do things out of the norm like carrying heavy boxes or going up stairs, let alone a combination of both. But f*@k evolution because, researchers at Keio […]
Mind-blown: Color Gridlines Make Black And White Photo Appeared To Have Colors
Look at the image below. What do you see? A colored photo, albeit a little washed out? Wrong answer. The truth is, the photo you see here is actually a black and white photo. The the t-shirt of the subjects only appeared to have color because of the colored grid lines overlaid on it. The […]
Just Like Star Wars’ Tatooine, This Newly Discovered Alien Planet Has More Than A Sun
I bet when George Lucas imagined Star Wars’ Tatooine with two suns, he didn’t realize it actually exists (or maybe he did?). For the benefit of non-Star Wars fans, Tatooine was a planet covered in harsh deserts, orbiting two suns, known as Tatoo I and Tatoo II. Anyways, the story was, NASA has spotted an […]
Watch A Shark In A Feeding Frenzy Gets Swallowed Whole By A Grouper
What supposed to be a rare sight of a herd of 11 sharks, made up of two species of deep-sea dogfish, feasting on an eight-foot long dead swordfish on the ocean floor at 1,500 feet (457 meters) deep, turned out to be a shocker to a bunch of researchers. Frankly, we were a little stunned […]
If This Technology Trickles Down To Consumer EVs, You Can Say Goodbye To Parallel Parking
Swedish EV manufacturer NEVS-owned British in-wheel motor technology company Protean Electric has introduced a revolutionary drive/steering module called Protean 360+ that will make parallel parking haters clamoring for it. Protean 360+ is 360-degree steering technology that pretty much is what it says it is and then some. It is an advanced electric drive ‘corner module’ […]
Image: Bigger-Than-Man Giant Barrel Jellyfish Off The Coast Of Cornwall, England

Underwater cinematographer Dan Abbott and biologist Lizzie Daly were met by this giant sea creature in one of their dive as part of a seven-day expedition to raise awareness about marine life. Well, I guess […]
BolaWrap Is Non-lethal Hand-held Remote Restraint That Batman Would Gladly Use
Whoever invented bolas must be proud. Why? Because, the invention not survived to this day, but has gotten a high-tech twist by the way of BolaWrap. BolaWrap is a non-lethal restraining device. It is not Taser, if that’s what you are thinking. In any case, Taser is not always non-lethal, if history has taught us […]
Watch IHMC Robots Walking Over Rough Terrain With Automatic Footstep Planning
I am not going lie. I just can’t wrap my head around the science behind how IHMC made Boston Dynamics’ Atlas and NASA Valkyrie robots navigate over a rough terrain. The development was, btw, a response to DARPA Robotics Challenge that calls for improvements in robotics technology for disaster relief operations. DARPA Robotics Challenge was […]
