Quirky Printers: Smell Postcards, Chocolate Photographs, Sunlight T-Shirts
Printers have long since been used to create many a document, artwork and even self-made books. We’ve also seen amazing 3D printers that make model work a piece of cake. Now here are some more innovative uses of printers that people have thought up of: Printing smells, chocolate photographs and using a bit of sunlight […]
Korean Researchers Develop Flexible Battery
Various flexible technologies have been invented, from displays to circuits to memory, so the next logical step in the process would be to create a battery to go with it. Up until now, flexible batteries have eluded manufacturers, but researchers from Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have come up with a bendable […]
Pedestrian Detection System Using WiFi Direct
For as long as cars have existed, there have been systems and devices in place to prevent people from running into pedestrians. A vigilant driver is always good for prevention, but add on top of that a wireless pedestrian detection system and hopefully more accidents can be prevented. General Motors (GM) in the US is […]

To generate this electricity we need resources, some reusable and some not. For the first time ever, Enel Green Power has set up a power plant that generates electricity from […]
IndoorAtlas Helps You Navigate Indoors Using Geomagnetic Fields
Navigation comes easily in animals, and it seems to be an innate ability for migrating animals to be able to navigate using the geomagnetic fields of the Earth. IndoorAtlas hopes to bring this ability to us as well, not to navigate the long distances that mirating animals travel but to help us find our way […]
MIT Display Includes Peripharal Vision, Real-Time Renders
Digital displays of all sizes are used everyday to tell us all sorts of information, or they are used for our entertainment. Television screens are becoming increasingly larger, but this is only helpful to those who can afford these huge displays or if they have the room for it. MIT Media Lab researchers want to […]
MiiCraft High-Quality 3D Resin Printer
3D printers, I can never get enough of them. We’ve seen many makes and models, and many more materials that can be used in the making of your 3D creations. We’ve also seen many ways these printers function, from extrusion to carving. Now, there is the MiiCraft, and it’s able to print in high-resolution, unlike […]
ViewSonic Rivals Wacom Cintiq with 32-Inch Giant
