Modern warfare is sometimes compared to a video
game, but within ten years combat training may become the most realistic
video game imaginable. The US Army’s Future Holistic Training
Environment Live Synthetic program is a new approach to combat training
that integrates various simulations into a single, remotely accessible
system. Used on bases across the country, its goal is to provide the
Pentagon with a cheaper, more effective way of training soldiers for
future military operations. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/army-live-synthetic-future-combat-simulation/31312/">Read More</a> <br />

With homes and light-vehicles accounting for
roughly 44 percent of total greenhouse gases emitted in the US,
neutralizing these emissions would certainly go a long way towards a
clean energy future. What if these sources of pollution could not only
be nullified, but play an active role in reducing our environmental
footprint? Such is the thinking behind the Honda Smart Home US unveiled
last week, which generates enough solar energy to power both car and
home, with a little left over to feed back into the grid. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/honda-smart-home-energy-producing/31380/">Read More</a> <br />

Before drugs are tested on humans, they first go
through pre-clinical tests on animals. Because humans and animals don't
have identical gastrointestinal tracts, however, the way in which the
drugs are absorbed by the body often differs between the two. A
scientist from the UK's University of Huddersfield hopes to address that
discrepancy, with his "gut simulator." <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/gut-simulator-drug-testing/31454/">Read More</a> <br />

Campus Martius, also known as the Campus of Mars,
was built by the Roman Senate just outside the ancient Rome city walls
back in 9 BCE. It was built to celebrate the peace brought upon the
Roman people as a result of Emperor Agustus’s military conquests. Thanks
to a complex computer simulation created by the Institute for Digital
Intermedia Arts (IDIA) for Indiana University's School of Informatics
and Computing, it is now possible to verify if and how solar alignments
influenced the positioning of the different objects on site. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/simulation-roman-campus-martius-mystery/30276/">Read More</a> <br />

The living skeletal muscle tissue grown by Duke
University researchers is 10 times stronger than any previously
bioengineered muscles. Not only does it contract as strongly and as
rapidly as the real thing but it is also capable of self-healing, both
in the lab and after implantation into an animal. This has been proven
beyond any doubt through a novel approach that involves peeking at the
growing muscle tissue through a glass window in the back of a living
mouse. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/bioengineered-self-healing-muscle/31461/">Read More</a> <br />

potential problem – when a new robot is introduced to a work

Because 3D printing allows one-off items to be
created quickly and cheaply, it should come as no surprise that the
technology has <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/3d-printed-aircraft-flown/19383/" target="_blank">already been used</a>
to produce unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. Engineers at the
University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Center (AMRC),
however, have taken things a step farther. They've made a 3D-printed
UAV airframe that's designed to minimize the amount of material needed
in its construction, and that can be printed and in the air within a
single day. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/3d-printed-uav-airframe/31473/">Read More</a> <br />

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of

have engineered a bacterium that could yield a new source of high-energy
hydrocarbon fuel for rocketry and other aerospace uses. High-energy,
specific-use hydrocarbon fuels such as JP-10 can be extracted from oil,
along with more commonly used petroleum fuels, but supplies are limited
and prices are high – approaching US$7 per liter. That’s where the new

Designed to give sportsmen and outdoor explorers a
motor-powered means of reaching more distant waters, the MOKAI ES-Kape
is an innovative boat with an integrated jet drive system. It eliminates
the need for trailers and racks by breaking into three pieces that nest
inside each other, allowing it to fit inside an SUV. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/mokai-three-piece-nesting-jet-drive-kayak/31417/">Read More</a> <br />

As so-called smartwatches become more smart and
less watch, they run the risk of losing some of the latter's charm and
style. Building on the success of its Cookoo "connected complication"
that combined analog movement with a connected digital display, Hong
Kong's ConnecteDevice has released two versions of a new Cogito model – a
Classic dress watch and a fun-loving design named Pop. Gizmag stopped
by the company's booth at Baselworld in Switzerland for a closer look.

The EPA has identified pollution from ships as a
contributing factor to respiratory problems and premature deaths
suffered by residents of the US and Canada. As such, it is in the
process of implementing stricter emissions standards for ships operating
within 200 miles (321.9 km) of shore with the aim of significantly
reducing emissions by the year 2020. In a development that could play
into these environmental initiatives, the SeaChange Group, a US-based

“He loves me… He loves me not,” or the Daisy
Oracle is a game of pulling petals off a flower, usually a daisy, while
intoning the formula that dates back to at least the 15th century as a
way of finding out if someone’s love is true. In a fusing of the 21st
and the 18th centuries, Christophe Claret takes a page out of the golden
age of automata and turns the game into a miniature automaton version
that fits into a lady’s wristwatch. Called the Margot, we had a look at

paraplegics, quadriplegics and others with disabilities wheeling over
pavement and dirt. Outrider's goal is to develop a production trike that
can be pedaled with the legs or hands or powered entirely with an
electric hub motor. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/horizon-adaptive-all-terrain-e-trike/31419/">Read More</a> <br />

SpaceX’s Dragon CRS-3 mission to the

Friday, NASA confirmed that the launch of the unmanned cargo ship has
been delayed due to the failure of a tracking radar, which meant that
the launch could not meet the minimum public safety requirements. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/spacex-crs-3-launch-second-delay/31396/">Read More</a> <br />

It’s easy to get dismissive of upmarket
astronomical watches in this age of cheap digital apps, but it’s still
impressive to see what can achieved with mechanical movements – and how
that can still sometimes put the apps to shame. For example, we got a
look at Swiss watch maker Antoine Martin’s Tourbillon Astronomique watch
at Baselworld this week, which can not only tell what time the Sun will
rise and set at, but even has a few tricks that you won’t find at the

Central to the dangers of so-called "date-rape"
drugs is the fact that they are difficult to detect. Indeed, GHB, one of
the most commonly-used of such drugs, is both colorless and odorless. A
team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has
developed a fluorescent sensor which, when mixed with a drink
containing GHB, changes color within 30 seconds, potentially alerting
people soon after their drink has been tampered with. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/fluorescent-sensor-date-rape-drug/31401/">Read More</a> <br />

For over forty years, <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/earthwatch-institute-turning-40/15196/" target="_blank">Earthwatch</a>
has been sending ordinary people to extraordinary places in the company
of top scientists to conduct hands-on research in over 50 expeditions.
On Thursday, the international nonprofit organization announced its most
ambitious and extraordinary public expedition ever aimed at sending
volunteers to Mars in search for water and life. With its US$1.25
million ticket price, it seems too good to be true, and probably is.

While a mouthful of home-brewed beer delivers a
certain degree of satisfaction for hobbyists and expert craftsmen alike,
seeing the hops, yeast and water come together to create a refreshing
drop can take some serious know-how and even more serious man-hours.
BrewNanny is a device designed to help ease the burden by using built-in
sensors to monitor and offer guidance throughout the brewing process.

the Advanced Suit development program to come up with a replacement for
the 22-year old suit designs currently used on the International Space

Phosphorus is a mineral that's
widely used in fertilizer, which itself has an unfortunate tendency to
leach out of farmers' fields and into our waterways. Now, researchers
from Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research have devised a
method of retrieving some of that phosphorus from the water – thus both
reducing pollution, and providing a source of <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/ostara-harvests-phosphorus-from-raw-sewage/14685/" target="_blank">reclaimed phosphorus</a>. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/phosphorus-superparamagnetic-particles/31399/">Read More</a> <br />

Police dogs serve many purposes for law
enforcement agencies. Often times they are used for their superior sense
of smell, and they are also used to apprehend suspects. As such, these
animals face many risks. One, though, is not necessarily the first that
comes to mind, and that is being left to overheat in police cruisers. A
company called Blueforce Development aims to fix this problem with a
sensor that alerts police when a K-9's temperature reaches dangerous
levels, thus saving the dog's life. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/blueforce-dog-temperature-monitor/31377/">Read More</a> </div>

Jet Ski was released in 1973. Since then, we've seen the introduction of

While it's certainly helpful to have a cargo box
or panniers on your bike, most such containers must either be left on
semi-permanently, or are relatively easy for thieves to remove. The
Fietsklik system, however, features interchangeable cargo carriers that
can be quickly clicked on and off of a slim rack-mounted adapter, but
also locked in place when needed. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/fietsklik-quick-release-bike-carriers/31376/">Read More</a> </div>

century needs is spacecraft that are a bit more botanical. The center
has released a video showing off its starshade spacecraft that opens up

light, not emits it. But researchers from Nanyang Technological

Ever experienced road rage? Someone cuts you off
while you’re trying to merge and next thing you know you’re tailgating
them like a NASCAR driver at Fontana trying to get a slingshot off the
bank. Then they hit the brakes … "screech-crash-bang" … there goes your
platinum rating with the insurance company. What if an on-board emotion
detection system could tell that you were getting annoyed and intervene?
PSA Peugeot Citroen has teamed up with the Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology to develop an emotion detection system designed to recognize
signs of irritation and fatigue in a driver’s facial expressions. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/epfl-psa-peugeot-citreon-emotion-detector-safety/31328/">Read More</a><br />

HTC announced its successor to last year's
heralded HTC One in New York on Tuesday, which we'll be calling the HTC
One M8. Although the main details of the phone had largely been leaked
in advance of the event, there were still a few surprises and a lot to
like in a phone that keeps and improves upon the best features of the
original One, while also adding new features from other top phones of
the past year and taking an above-and-beyond approach to customer
service. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/htc-one-m8-android-release/31360/">Read More</a> <br />

Records are made to be broken, and the British
have a habit of breaking World Land Speed Records more than anyone else.
Last week, Don Wales, grandson of Sir Malcolm Campbell, opened a new
multimedia exhibit entitled “Britain & For The Hell Of It” at the
National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, Hampshire. Celebrating the golden age
of British record breaking from the 1920s through the 1960s, it features
four famous record-breaking cars as well as souvenirs and memorabilia,
trophies and personal items belonging to the drivers. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/land-speed-exhibit/31327/">Read More</a> <br />

The re-worked red brick house in Modena is no
different than most other 19th century residences in the Italian
motoring villa. That the unassuming space was the birthplace of Enzo
Ferrari was previously only communicated to persons on the street by a
simple sign reading, “Officina Meccanica Alfredo Ferrari.” But now a new
contemporary gallery dedicated to Ferrari’s founder has reopened to the
public and showcases some of his company's finest vintage works. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/museo-casa-enzo-ferrari-reopens/31318/">Read More</a> <br />

Harvesting samples for producing stem cells can
be rather painful. Techniques can involve collecting large amounts of
blood, bone marrow or skin scrapes. The reality is intrusive measures
such as these can be very off-putting. But what if it was as simple as a
finger-prick? Such a DIY approach, which is so easy it can be done at
home or in the field without medical staff, has been developed by
researchers at Singapore's A*STAR Institute of Molecular and Cell

The counterfeiting of high-end products is a
growing problem, and has led to the development of countermeasures such
as <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/invisible-clothing-patterns-counterfeiting/27419/" target="_blank">invisible woven patterns</a>, <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/butterfly-wings-fight-counterfeiting/15274/" target="_blank">butterfly wing-inspired printing techniques</a>, and even <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/dna-barcodes-molecular-tags/29172/" target="_blank">synthetic DNA</a>.
One of the drawbacks of some of these approaches, however, is the fact
that implementing them can be quite a complex process. Now, a team from
the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has come
up with something simpler – tiny jumbles of nanowires that form

The Tecnalia Centre for Applied Research has
created a system of sensors which when fitted in a home can monitor
changes in a person's habits and routine. These observations can then be
used to assess whether an individual is suffering from the early stages
of a neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer's. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/tecnalia-sensor-home-neurodegenerative-disease/31342/">Read More</a> <br />

Vaccines save lives, but sometimes they fail to
reach the people who need them most, in parts of the developing world. A
research team from Iowa State University is currently developing a new
generation of vaccines that uses nanotechnology, and is delivered in
spray form. One of the advantages of this new type of vaccine is that is
can increase access to people living in remote areas because it
requires no refrigeration and is simpler to administer. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/nasal-spray-vaccine/31310/">Read More</a> <br />

According to the Hearing Loss Association of
America, 48 million Americans (around 20 percent of the population)
report some degree of hearing loss. This problem is compounded by the
costs associated with having the condition diagnosed and a hearing aid
fitted in a clinic, causing many to allow the ailment to go untreated.
iHear, an invisible hearing aid, is designed to significantly lower the
cost of personalized hearing devices by enabling the user to test the
extent of their condition and calibrate the hearing aid from their own

Six years ago, Chris Hoffmann's 13-year-old
daughter Lauren said, “Daddy, I’ve been thinking about this one-wheeled
motorcycle I saw in a video game. Could you actually build something
like that?” What happened next changed his life. In the next few months,
Chris' new company begins shipping the <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/ryno-one-wheeled-scooter/20385/" target="_blank">Ryno</a>,
a self-balancing, one-wheeled US$5250 personal mobility device that has
caused tidal waves of interest across the globe. This is Chris
Hoffmann’s story of what happened in the intervening six years, in his
own words, and that's 20-year-old Lauren with daddy's one-wheeled
motorcycle. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/self-balancing-ryno-electric-microcycle-release/30832/">Read More</a> <br />

<div class="summary">
The higher the temperature at which an aircraft
engine is able to run, the more efficiently it uses fuel. In order to
run at those high temperatures, the metal components of airplane engines
are presently treated with heat-shielding coatings. Scientists at
Sweden's University West, however, are developing a new such coating
that is said to be far more effective than anything presently used – it
could extend the service life of engines by 300 percent. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/heat-shielding-aircraft-engine-coating/31333/">Read More</a> <br />

If you’re going to do something like building a
Porsche 911 that fits on the head of a pin, or make a microscopic
medical pump, you need a microscopic engine. A team of researchers from
the University of Twente in the Netherlands, the Russian Academy of
Sciences, and Germany’s University of Freiburg have developed a
micro-engine that burns oxygen and hydrogen, but there’s a small
problem; they’re not sure how the thing works. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/microengine-combustion/31261/">Read More</a> <br />

Wearable baby monitors certainly appear an emerging trend, with recent efforts including a <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/mimo-baby-monitor-ces/30277/" target="_blank">bodysuit</a> packed with sensors and a <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/owlet-smart-sock-baby-monitor/29007/" target="_blank">smart sock</a>

US-based inventor Arturas Vaitaitis, whose Monbaby smart button can be

The human body clock is the curse of any shift

We knew wearable technology was going to get
weird eventually, but we didn't expect it to get this weird, this fast.
The HeadWatch is smartwatch design with a twist – a touchscreen body
that pops off and doubles as a headset. Wearers get the usual smartwatch
notifications, but they can also stick the watch in their ears to take
calls. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/headwatch-smartwatch-for-your-head/31311/">Read More</a> <br />

may have been flying around for almost 90 years, but it still manages
to turn heads. On Friday, there was another reason to look beyond
nostalgia for the days of the great airships of old as Goodyear unveiled
its new state-of-the-art blimp to the media, Goodyear associates and
dealers at its Wingfoot Lake hangar in Suffield, Ohio. Built in
partnership with the Zeppelin company, the new craft that replaces the
45-year old GZ-20 blimp fleet is not only larger and faster, it isn’t
even a blimp, but a semi-rigid airship. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/goodyear-blimp-unveil/31289/">Read More</a> <br />

It becomes difficult for boats to stand out when
they're stuffed into an expo center segmented into row after row of
seafaring vessels and marine hardware. Even massive yachts and striking
boat concepts can start to look alike after a few passes through a boat
show. One boat that did grab our attention at the Boot Dusseldorf show
earlier this year is the new Frauscher 858 Fantom, a V8-powered craft
inspired by German and Italian sports cars. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/frauscher-858-fantom/31274/">Read More</a> <br />

Ask someone to list off the world's most
innovative bicycles, and chances are that they'll mention some
mass-produced bikes made by big-name manufacturers. The fact is, though,
it's more often the smaller, independent builders that are doing the
real innovating. For the past 10 years, many of them have been showing
off their latest builds at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show
(NAHBS). We attended this year's event, which took place last weekend in
Charlotte, North Carolina. Here's a look at some of the things that

Hemingway is a simple web app designed to help
writers write simpler copy. You can't save documents, share them,
organize them or comment on them. You just paste in your text, follow
its advice, and copy it to get it out again. But it's very effective.

Could it one day be possible to generate
electricity from the loss of heat from Earth to outer space? A group of
Harvard engineers believe so and have theorized something of a reverse
photovoltaic cell to do just this. The key is using the flow of energy
away from our planet to generate voltage, rather than using incoming
energy as in existing solar technologies. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/earth-infrared-emissions-renewable-energy/31101/">Read More</a> <br />

Though using electrical stimulation of the brain as a means of treating <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/tdcs-migraine-treatment/22359/" target="_blank">migraines</a>

It wasn't that long ago that <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/calfee-design-bamboo-bikes/14378/" target="_blank">bamboo-framed bikes</a>
were thought of as a weird rarity. Thanks to its combination of
durability, stiffness and vibration-damping characteristics, however,
the material has been gaining popularity in recent years. That being
said, some designers still find that the random nature of pure bamboo
makes it a little too unpredictable for producing frames of a consistent

There's no two ways about it: your common or

half-wit. Rain or no, if you don't turn it off, it'll water your lawn

Respawn Entertainment’s first-ever title is a
complex and engaging first-person shooter that adds parkour wall-running
and giant mech combat to the somewhat tired genre. Not only does the
title have a lot riding on it, but with so many gameplay mechanics vying
for position, the developer has given itself a significant balancing
act to perform. Read on to find out how it fares. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/titanfall-xbox-one-review/31284/">Read More</a> <br />

Last September, we heard about a new cycling multitool known as <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/fix-it-sticks-cycling-multitool/29109/" target="_blank">Fix it Sticks</a>.
A successful Kickstarter project, it consists of two aluminum "sticks"
that can be joined together to form a T wrench, with a different type of
bit permanently attached to each end. At the time, several readers
complained that the bits should be interchangeable. Well, those people
will be happy to learn that the designer has now come out with the Fix
It Sticks Replaceable Edition. We got to try one out, and can attest to
the fact that it's a gooder. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/fix-it-sticks-replaceable-edition-cycling-multitool-review/31272/">Read More</a> </div>

Most people will have heard how bad it is for you
to sit all day. Inactivity can cause obesity, poor posture, and general
unhealthiness – which is why so many people are switching to using
standing desks at work or at home. The biggest problem is how expensive
they are to buy. We recently featured the <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/the-upstanding-desk/31211/" target="_blank">UpStanding Desk</a>,
which offered an affordable solution to this problem by converting your
existing desk from sitting to standing. The Cardboard Standing Desk

Most of the early smartwatches we've seen run
scaled-down software designed for tiny screens. But then you also have
devices like <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/neptune-pine-hands-on/30347/" target="_blank">Neptune Pine</a> and <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/neptune-pine-hands-on/30347/" target="_blank">Omate TrueSmart</a>
that are basically smartphones for your wrist. Today another device is
ready to join that latter group. Meet the Rufus Cuff, a "wrist
communicator" that can pair with both iPhone and Android handsets. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/rufus-cuff-smartwatch/31268/">Read More</a> </div>

When you want to climb or sprint on your bike,
what do you do? That's right, you get your butt off the saddle and shift
your weight forward. According to Tampa-based inventor Felton
Zimmerman, however, going off-saddle like that hampers your performance.
His solution? The Darwin Bicycle. It features a folding frame that
automatically moves the saddle forward with you, so you're always
seated. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/darwin-bicycle-folds-climbs-spints/31269/">Read More</a> </div>

In high-density areas like the Taiwanese capital
of Taipei, people have long looked to expand vertically to make use of
the limited land, resulting in a lack of vegetation, high humidity and
high energy usage. According to Unicode, a team of Taiwanese architects
and designers, 50 percent of the county's housing constructions are
either common multiple-story rowhouses or larger duplex apartment
buildings, many of which have illegal makeshift shelters on their
rooftops to provide extra living space. Unicode has developed a concept
house which would give these shelters a greenhouse-inspired makeover,
shifting reliance to renewable energy sources and improving Taipei's
sustainability in the process. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/orchid-house-taiwan-greenhouse/31255/">Read More</a> <br />

Turn on any old science fiction film and odds are
that you'll see someone listening to the ominous chirping of a Geiger
counter. It's very dramatic, but not very precise and, unfortunately,
nuclear scientists and engineers of today are stuck with the same
problem. Now, researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a
faster, cheaper way for nuclear power plants to detect and map
dangerous hot spots and leaky fuel rods using a camera that maps
radiation in real time. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/polaris-h-real-time-radiation-detector/31171/">Read More</a> <br />

Although known for long life and low energy
consumption, the LED uses a DC power supply, or driver, to overcome its
sensitivity to current fluctuations, and it’s the high-frequency,
high-speed switching transistors in this driver that’s made the LED so
costly for use in large-scale commercial applications dominated by
fluorescent and incandescent lighting. But that’s about to change.
Fraunhofer researchers are developing a new, more economical means of
making the high-performance <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/3-led-light-bulb-lasts-60-years-and-could-end-battle-of-the-bulbs/10879/" target="_blank">gallium nitride transistors</a> needed for the LED’s high-efficiency driver. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/led-galium-nitride-fraunhofer/31193/">Read More</a> <br />

the digital cryptocurrency designed to enable anonymous peer-to-peer

Small capsule-like homes where management of
utilities, such as electricity and water, is left to the city could form
part of a sustainable future for Paris, according to a team of the
city's designers and architects. Live-Lib, a concept for a two-part
residential building, is designed to provide a degree of privacy while
feeding off communal, sustainable resources to drive down costs and

We've recently seen a number of projects aimed at creating <em>Star Trek</em>-like <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/tag/tricorder/" target="_blank">medical tricorders</a>,
that take the form of stand-alone electronic devices built specifically
for the purpose. Now, however, scientists at the University of Houston
are taking an approach that's currently popular in many other areas of
product design – they've asked, "Why build a whole new device, if a
smartphone can provide the electronics?". The result is a proposed phone
lens attachment, that could be used to diagnose diseases in real time.

of it. They often want to listen to it for most of the day, whether at

Influential musician Neil Young says that in the
pursuit of the convenience offered by wireless streaming, or storing
large catalogs of songs on pocket-sized devices, we have sacrificed the
quality of the music, and by extension our overall listening experience.
But a belief that the two need not be mutually exclusive has led Young
to conceive a system called PonoMusic, which he believes will afford

Ever walk halfway across a road only to have the
light change and force you to make an undignified rush to the other
side? The answer is almost certainly yes. If you’re in London, that may
soon be a thing of the past however, with Transport for London
announcing upcoming trials of an "intelligent" pedestrian crossing.
Called the Pedestrian Split Cycle Offset Optimisation Technique (SCOOT),
it’s part of a £2 billion to £4 billion program to improve roads over
the next ten years and decrease traffic fatalities in the capital by 40
percent by the year 2020. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/pedestrian-scoot/31154/">Read More</a> <br />

Braven has announced the immediate availability
of an adventure-proof high definition wireless speaker system that could
be deserving of a place in the rugged section of our recent <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/bluetooth-speaker-buyers-guide/30215/" target="_blank">round-up of Bluetooth speakers</a>. First announced at CES back in January, the BRV-X outdoor speaker is the bigger brother of the <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/braven-rugged-bluetooth-portable-speaker/26047/" target="_blank">BRV-1</a>
that impressed us back in January 2013, has a built-in battery that can
be used to charge other portable devices, and is described by the
company as "the tank of mobile speakers." <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/braven-brv-x-rugged-bluetooth-speaker/31168/">Read More</a> <br />

According to the World Health Organization, there
were approximately 207 million cases of malaria worldwide in 2012,
627,000 of which proved fatal. Unfortunately, the disease most often
occurs in developing nations, where diagnostic equipment may not be
available. This means that doctors can't determine the particular strain
of malaria from which a patient is suffering, and thus don't know which
medication will work best. Manu Prakash, an assistant professor of
bioengineering at the Stanford School of Medicine, hopes to change that
... using his disposable folding paper microscope. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/foldscope-paper-microscope/31167/">Read More</a> <br />

When it comes to thoroughly assessing the
condition of someone's eyes, it's usually necessary to utilize large,
expensive contraptions such as those found in an ophthalmologist's
office. While that's OK in some situations, physicians in rural areas or
developing nations might not have access to such technology.
Additionally, emergency room personnel typically need information
on-the-spot, ASAP. That's why two scientists from Stanford University
have created the EyeGo system, which allows smartphones to do the job.

Of the many new gadgets to help you go green that
were on offer at London's Ecobuild 2014 last week, one of the standout
innovations was from Petwalk. The company's new, highly-insulated,
automated pet door lets pets move in and out of the house at will,
without squeezing through small openings or knocking on a plastic flap.
It opens and closes electronically without being pushed open by a dog or
cat, or by anyone else. Once closed, the doors form a draught-free seal
that conforms to Passive House standards for thermal exclusion. Petwalk
also offers a range of sophisticated extras. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/passive-house-petwalk-door/31162/">Read More</a> <br />

You can never be too careful, and if you have a

The top motor-only speed of an electric bike can
be limited by law to 20 mph (32 km/h), but those taking their rides
off-road or to the streets of more lenient jurisdictions may push their
vehicles that little bit further. Looking to allow even more scope for
performance are Milwaukee-based inventors Dustin Herte and Ryan Bass,

Bringing together form and functionality in
harmony is the holy grail for design of any type. The newly opened
Emerson College Los Angeles (ELA) achieves just that. The building
needed to be sustainable and provide spaces for education, accommodation
and administration whilst at the same time fostering social activity
and creativity. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/emerson-college-los-angeles/31114/">Read More</a> <br />

If you've ever felt your daily
routine was like being stuck on a hamster wheel, then spare a thought
for architectural artists Ward Shelley and Alex Schweder. The pair
actually <em>did</em> live in a "home" shaped like an oversized hamster wheel for some 10 days as part of their art exhibit, dubbed In Orbit. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/human-hamster-wheel-ward-shelley-alex-schweder/31149/">Read More</a><br />

It’s easy for a car that’s all sharp lines and
flaring wings to catch the eye, but sometimes it’s the ones with the
deceptively conservative styling that catch you by surprise. A case in
point is <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/italdesign-giugaro-parcour-all-terrain-supercar/26530/" target="_blank">Italdesign Giugiaro’s</a>
Clipper MPV concept car, which was unveiled last week at the Geneva
Motor Show. The four-wheel drive, six-seater with fully independent
all-electric drive sports a design that's based on a study of future
cities, and is billed by the maker as a “veritable automotive research
design lab.” <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/italdesign-giugiaro-clipper-concept/31141/">Read More</a> <br />

A study of data captured by NASA's Wide-Field

The Kindle Fire HDX doesn't allow AirPlay-like
wireless streaming of music, photos, and video like an iPad. Of course,
you can always display videos by connecting the micro-HDMI cable to your
HDTV, but that can be a hassle depending on your home theater set up.
Luckily a little app called Avia allows users to stream content from
Amazon's tablet to devices that include the Digital Living Network

It would be more than charitable to describe
either of the machines here as truly portable, with both exhibiting
thick and heavy builds that are far more at home on a desk than your
lap. However, what they lack in true portability, they more than make up
for in raw power. Read on as we take a detailed look at two 17-inch

There are a number of ways to take digital amp and effects modeling to the gig or studio, including the new <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/line6-amplifi/30629/" target="_blank">AMPLIFi</a> models from Line 6, or routing your signal through a laptop or tablet running something like <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/irig-hd-amplitube-review/27997/" target="_blank">AmpliTube</a>.
Accessing and controlling settings on a device screen can be somewhat
fiddly, though, and many guitarists feel more comfortable with physical
knobs and switches. This is where the Amperage MIDI controller pedal
could help to bridge the gap between analog stomp familiarity and the
brave new world of digital tone tweaking. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/amperage-pedal-midi/31146/">Read More</a> <br />

A study of data captured by NASA's Wide-Field
Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) satellite has disproved the existence of
the hypothesized large celestial body, dubbed "Planet X." The planet or
companion star was, some believed, responsible for the periodic mass
extinctions that have taken place in Earth's past. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/nasa-wise-planetx/31148/">Read More</a> <br />

The Kindle Fire HDX doesn't allow AirPlay-like
wireless streaming of music, photos, and video like an iPad. Of course,
you can always display videos by connecting the micro-HDMI cable to your
HDTV, but that can be a hassle depending on your home theater set up.
Luckily a little app called Avia allows users to stream content from
Amazon's tablet to devices that include the Digital Living Network
Alliance (DLNA) standard. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/stream-video-kindle-fire-hdx-dlna/31118/">Read More</a> <br />

It would be more than charitable to describe
either of the machines here as truly portable, with both exhibiting
thick and heavy builds that are far more at home on a desk than your
lap. However, what they lack in true portability, they more than make up
for in raw power. Read on as we take a detailed look at two 17-inch

There are a number of ways to take digital amp and effects modeling to the gig or studio, including the new <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/line6-amplifi/30629/" target="_blank">AMPLIFi</a> models from Line 6, or routing your signal through a laptop or tablet running something like <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/irig-hd-amplitube-review/27997/" target="_blank">AmpliTube</a>.
Accessing and controlling settings on a device screen can be somewhat
fiddly, though, and many guitarists feel more comfortable with physical
knobs and switches. This is where the Amperage MIDI controller pedal
could help to bridge the gap between analog stomp familiarity and the
brave new world of digital tone tweaking. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/amperage-pedal-midi/31146/">Read More</a> <br />

US medical researchers have developed a blood
test which predicts with 90 percent accuracy if an individual will
develop Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment within three
years. The test, which looks for a set of ten lipid markers, will allow
treatments to be sought that may be effective during this early,
asymptomatic stage of the disease. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/blood-test-predict-alzheimers/31142/">Read More</a> <br />

characterized with short term memory loss and learning difficulties that
increase in severity as the patient progresses in age. Scientists at

The Lomography <a href="http://www.gizmag.com/lomography-petzval-portrait-lens/28458/" target="_blank">New Petzval Art Lens</a>
is not your typical new camera lens. It's a brass-barreled manual focus
prime, with no electronic contacts, and aperture that's controlled by
dropping a selection of little plates into the barrel. After being
funded on Kickstarter, the quirky lens has now made its way into the
real world, and Gizmag recently got a chance to go hands-on with one.

Astronauts, get your welding goggles on – the
space station is going into the foundry business. The International
Space Station is set to do a spot of industrial research this June, when
ESA’s Materials Science Laboratory-Electromagnetic Levitator heads for
the station aboard Europe's’ ATV-5 Georges Lemaître unmanned space
freighter as part of a program to study the casting of alloys in a
weightless environment. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/msl-eml-iss/31042/">Read More</a> <br />

While many of us worry about the ways in which
Google Glass could be used to infringe on peoples' privacy, scientists
at Saarland University in Germany have instead developed a process in
which the high-tech eyewear could <em>ensure</em> privacy. More specifically, it would keep shady characters from obtaining your PIN while you used an automated teller. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/google-glass-ubic-pin-privacy/31135/">Read More</a> <br />

Insulating your home may help the environment by
lowering your energy usage, but unfortunately the petroleum-based foam
that's typically used <em>as</em> insulation isn't all that eco-friendly
itself. Researchers at Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Wood
Research, however, have developed a reportedly greener alternative that
they claim works just as well – it's foam made from wood. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/wood-foam-insulation/31133/">Read More</a> <br />

Despite the incredible popularity of
the GoPro Hero actioncam, it still lacks one very basic feature – a
viewfinder. You <em>can</em> use your smartphone as a remote viewfinder
via the camera's Wi-Fi signal, but for users who want to get hand-held
shots, that involves holding onto two devices. That's where the GoPhone
comes into the picture. <a class="readmore_link" href="http://www.gizmag.com/gophone-gopro-iphone-case/31132/">Read More</a> <br />
