One-handed keyboards? Been there. Wearable input devices? Done that. But a chunky cyberpunk gauntlet that lets you type and mouse like a Blade Runner out on lunch break? Now we’re talking. Meet the Schist01, a wrist-mounted mechanical keyboard that looks like it should come with its own synthwave soundtrack. Unlike […]
Turning air into drinking water is an old science trick. While some “magicians” are still leveraging moisture in the air to literally pull water out of thin air, one New York-based startup, Aircela, has taken this concept to the next level: turning air into black gold. OK, it’s not quite […]
First, it was a fork that faked salt. Then came a pair of chopsticks. A bowl got involved. And finally—because why stop at tableware behaving normally—Japan now has a spoon that simulates saltiness without adding actual salt. Enter the Electric Salt Spoon, a high-tech utensil developed by Kirin Holdings and […]
I’m sure most people are familiar with flat-head socket cap screws—aka hex screws. You know, those screws that require an Allen key to drive in or remove. You probably think nothing of them, but if that exposed hex hole bugs you, or if your project demands a sleeker finish without […]
In the age of smartwatches, foldable phones, and dogs with Instagram, it was only a matter of time before someone made a pacemaker smaller than a grain of rice—and gave it Jedi powers. Northwestern University engineers have done just that with a light-activated, injectable, and fully dissolvable pacemaker that’s so […]
In the Japanese anime Mazinger Z, the super robot has a weapon that launches from its forearm. In 2025 and beyond, some humans may also have this capability. Well, not as a weapon, and it does not launch like the grandaddy of super robots—and also not the whole forearm, obviously. […]
Demolition of walls with powered breakers is a back-breaking job. Those things are silly heavy that even trained athletes will wear out. That’s not to mention the risk of back injury is very real. This is where the Hilti EXO-T22 Wearable Construction Tool Balancer comes in. Looking like a backpack […]
Driving a bus, taxi, or truck comes with a lot of responsibility—and a lot of exposure to risk. The more time spent on the road, the higher the chances of something going wrong. So, is there a way to reduce accidents for these vehicles? Science says yes, and it’s got […]
Back at MWC earlier this month, Infinix Mobility had more than just a snazzy vertical tri-folding phone to show off. It also revealed two concepts that make phones more alive than ever: a solar-powered phone and a color-changing back cover. The latter first showed up last October, but now it’s […]
Huawei’s Mate XT realized the dream of owning a relatively compact, candy bar phone with the screen real estate of a small tablet. Now, if upon seeing that, it triggers your wish for a smaller version, i.e., a regular candy bar that folds down into a compact, clamshell phone… well, […]
A while ago, I came across a nifty-powered hand tool that helps tie wire on rebars. Genius, I thought, and bookmarked it for later to share with you guys. I think there’s no need for that. Turns out, I’ve been living under a rock—because that’s old tech. Today, robots do […]
