NASA has contracted Virginia's Advanced Air Company to design and build a prototype of a new type of transition-capable eVTOL drone – a tilt-wing concept that uses aerodynamic forces instead of actuators to tilt the wings and propulsion systems.Continue ReadingCategory: Aircraft, TransportTags: eVTOL, Hybrid eVTOLs, drones, NASA
Haptic hydrogel "skin" simulates touch in VR and AR
Posted by ArielTechGeek 820 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
While technology is making major strides in absorbing our eyes and ears in virtual worlds, it’s harder to engage senses like touch. Engineers at the City University of Hong Kong have now developed WeTac, a thin, wearable electronic "skin" that provides tactile feedback to users in VR and AR.Continue ReadingCategory: Wearables, TechnologyTags: Haptic, Haptics, Tactile, Gloves, Hand, Touch, VR, Vir
Space Campers puts its Cybertruck camper on Swiss Army overload
Posted by ArielTechGeek 820 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Earlier this year, Space Campers became the latest startup to announce a slick camper for the Tesla Cybertruck. It billed it as a truck-back "Swiss Army knife" at the time, and it wasn't kidding. A newly released video dives into the camper's feature set, and it shows an RV that operates like one big, impressive multitool. The design includes furniture that rearranges for indoor/outdoor cooking,
Clever device efficiently splits hydrogen and lithium out of seawater
Posted by ArielTechGeek 820 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
One problem with renewably-produced hydrogen is that it uses fresh water – and with a quarter of the world's population already facing severe water scarcity at least one month of every year, freshwater is an ever more finite and precious resource. So technologies that can electrolyze hydrogen out of the abundant seawater that blankets most of the planet are a vital area of enquiry.Continue Readin
How gut bacteria helps you exercise by sending dopamine hits to the brain
Posted by ArielTechGeek 820 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A compelling new study has identified a gut-brain pathway in mice that connects specific gut bacteria with an animal's motivation for exercise. If the same pathway is confirmed in humans it could mean modifying one's microbiome may help prompt a desire for exercise.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTags: Gut Bacteria, Microbiome, Exercise, Brain
Immune protein discovery points to new heart disease treatment
Posted by ArielTechGeek 820 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the United States and treatments are still surprisingly limited. Other than reducing cholesterol levels with statins, most treatments are indirect, such as preventing diabetes and high blood pressure, or improving diet and exercise.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Heart Disease, Cardiovascular, The Immune System, Protein, University
Horde of the rings: Tree study suggests Huns' motivation for marauding
Posted by ArielTechGeek 820 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
As long-living lifeforms, trees can provide scientists with a way to look back into the past, revealing everything from a reversal in Earth's magnetic field 42,000 years ago to a time in 774 CE when the planet was bombarded by a massive radiation storm. Now, researchers have used tree-ring data to determine that a massive drought could have spurred incursions by Hunnic hordes into the eastern Rom
