Drag sail: the space junk cleaner
Chinese engineers successfully designed “drag sail” – a device that deorbits space debris and sends it back to the atmosphere where it disintegrates.
World’s first commercial-scale sand battery
Researchers from Finland set up the world’s first commercial-scale ‘sand battery’ that can store energy generated from renewable sources for months. This can help solve the problem of year-round power supply.
Efficient and eco-friendly solar electric catamaran concept
The boat combines the best efficiency, functionality, and earth-friendliness, featuring solar panels that power fully electric navigation and an AI-driven control center that manages energy consumption.
Smart contact lenses with augmented reality (AR)
A California-based company conducted its first human trial using smart contact lenses with augmented reality (AR) that projects bright text, rich graphics, and video content, while sitting on the eye.
3D-printed breast implants
New 3D-printed technologies from different companies may soon replace silicones in breast reconstruction if proven safe and eliminate issues that come with silicones.
Crime-predicting algorithm with 90% accuracy
Social scientists at the University of Chicago developed an artificial intelligence-based algorithm that can forecast crime in urban areas up to a week in advance with 90% accuracy.
Space bubble shield to cool the earth
MIT researchers propose using a space bubble shield that will reflect sunlight away from the Earth to cool our planet and prevent the worst effects of climate change.
Pain-relieving implant
As an alternative to highly addictive pain relievers, researchers developed an implant that relieves pain. Once no longer required, the body then naturally absorbs the water-soluble implant.
AGILE: Optical concentrator for solar panels
An optical concentrator that looks like a tiny glass pyramid can increase power generation capacity and reduce production costs of solar panels.
Nuclear-powered flying hotel
A concept video of a nuclear-powered flying hotel steered by artificial intelligence can stay on the air for years.
