Former NASA engineer Mark Rober is known for a lot crazy science creations. From the biggest NERF Blaster to the super sized Super Soaker to the Glitter Bomb designed to teach porch pirates a good, sparkling lesson. Rober did it all. But this latest creation/experiment/engineering project of his is by […]
If you don’t already know, all passenger airliners in the air are tracked and until now, air traffic controllers rely solely ground-based surveillance to do so. But being ground-based, it is obviously not going to cover every inch of the airspace. In fact, we learned that ground-based radars only covers […]
It looks like Brigham Young University, or BYU, is not done with exploring the wonder of origami. After developing an origami-inspired bulletproof shield for law enforcement, the university’s researchers makes an even mind-blowing origami-inspired development which they call “developable mechanisms.” With this new development, it allows complex surfaces on a […]
Like a creepy robot apocalypse film, Boston Dynamics Handle Robot from two years ago has evolved (thankfully, not on its own!). In the original, it was a biped on wheels and had a pair of arms, but now, it has been reimagined into a strange-looking animal-like robot that retains the […]
Usually, if someone ingested solutions of any kind used to process films, it is bad news. Whoever did that will be poisoned for sure. However, that won’t be the case with this particular ‘fluid’. Crafted by independent brewery, Dogfish Head, this new gose beer called SuperEIGHT is not just an […]
This is RAMBO, but it has nothing to do with the protagonist from the 80s movie franchise adaption of David Morrell’s 1972 novel, First Blood. This RAMBO here is not a person; it is a weapon – a grenade launcher to be exact. What makes RAMBO so special is, it […]
We just reported on the world’s first full-size self-driving electric bus in Singapore and now, we hear that there’s a new LiDAR technology, one of the key components in self-driving technology, that could function in extreme cold. A tropical country like Singapore, most electronics shouldn’t have any issue, but in […]
Here’s a video of a four-legged robot called Mini Cheetah developed by Biomimetic Robotics Lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) doing backflips – a skill yet to be accomplished by any fellow quadruped robot. Cool, right. Well, for now, it is sure fun to see them performing circus act. […]
Movies often portrayed robot apocalypse with robots that were as sophisticated as humans with respect to agility and dexterity. The truth is, we do not have worry about such “robot apocalypse” because, it takes a lot more than bolts and nuts, and circuit boards to make a robot as capable […]
South by Southwest (SXSW), though not about gadgets and emerging technology, is no stranger to gadgets, but this year’s festival goers had more gadgets to ogle at – thanks to LG. LG had hit up SXSW for the first time, bringing along some really cool stuff, including a series of […]
Can a human spot potential shoplifters before the deed is done? Possibly. If given enough training and experience, a person may be able to pick out those who intend to pay for the products and those who don’t. But lets be honest, other than big retail stores, no other retail […]
