with a focus on sharing, each object is designed with the rule of using one twist: a shift in scale, a duplication, or a melting. The post nik bentel’s surreal key handbag and double-spouted tea pots reimagine the mundane appeared first on designboom | architecture & design magazine.
unveiled under his design practice inxects, the swedish architect installs multiple haptic sensors around the vest and gloves. The post vest and gloves with sensors ‘gaia’ let users feel the health of plants, insects, soil and more appeared first on designboom | architecture & design magazine.
Swiss researchers claim to have devised a functional living battery powered by the combined efforts of two types of fungi – all in a biodegradable, non-toxic 3D-printed package. I'll give you a second to wrap your head around that outrageous statement before diving into the details.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, TechnologyTags: Fungus, Battery, Empa
Since founding TerraPower in 2008, Bill Gates has had his eye on developing a safe, efficient, and clean next-gen nuclear plant. That project, called Natrium, has already broken ground in Wyoming and has just leaped over a critical hurdle.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, TechnologyTags: Nuclear, Reactors, Power, Clean Energy, Alternative Energy, Bill Gates, TerraPower
NASA’s upcoming Firefly Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) mission will bring multiple scientific payloads to the lunar surface. The CLPS mission will place Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost Mission One lander on the moon with multiple imaging tools. We will be speaking with NASA later in the week to bring you more information on this mission and what it hopes to accomplish. In
Some historic aircraft seem like a barrel for holding superlatives. One of these, the H-4 Hercules, goes one better because it's also at the center of one of the strangest stories involving possibly the 20th century's strangest man – Howard Hughes.Continue ReadingCategory: Aircraft, TransportTags: History, Aircraft, World's Largest
A few years ago, Finnish-Estonian startup Verge launched a wild motorcycle with a rear wheel so hollow you could stick a leg straight through it. Now the moto builder has realized the powerful ring-like hub motor sitting inside that hollow wheel has untapped potential reaching far beyond just bikes. Spinoff company Donut Lab is pursuing new applications for the motor and an entire modular ecosyst
Swedish startup Heart Aerospace is gearing up for the first experimental flight of the X1 early next year, an electric demonstrator aircraft that's the same size as its upcoming 30-seater commercial plane.Continue ReadingCategory: Aircraft, TransportTags: Electric Aircraft, Hybrid Air, Plane, Flight Simulation, Prototype
When it comes to monitoring the health of crops, aerial images captured by aircraft flying high overhead are only going to tell you so much. That's where an experimental new spectral sensor comes in, as it's mounted directly on the underside of individual plants' leaves.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Tohoku University, Plants, Agriculture, Crops
