Tyrannosaurus rex, that coolest of all the
dinosaurs, may have been even bigger and scarier than originally
thought. That’s the conclusion that was recently reached by a team of
scientists, who used computer modeling technology to estimate the
average body mass of the carnivorous dinosaurs. After digitally
“fleshing out” existing T. rex skeletons, the researchers now believe
that the reptiles grew twice as fast, and reached adult weights up to 30
percent higher than previously assumed. Read More
Mobile phone cameras generally aren't known for
their fantastic image quality. One of the reasons for this is the fact
that most of them have fixed-focus lenses, as opposed to the autofocus
lenses on all but the cheapest stand-alone cameras. The phone cameras
partially compensate by using a small aperture to maintain a good depth
of field, but this limits their use in low-light situations. Of course,
their lenses could automatically focus by moving in and out
(like those on larger cameras), but this would draw considerable power
from the phones' batteries. Now, however, Norwegian scientists have
unveiled a low-power autofocus lens for mobile phone cameras, that works
like the human eye. Read More
Hoping to re-ignite what he calls the "hidden
magic" of commuting by bike, Washington-born designer Gabriel Wartofsky
has been working on a folding e-bike project for the last two years, and
is now entering the final stages of pre-production. Prototype number
one of his first- and last-mile mobility solution has been taken for
hundreds of test rides leading to rider-suggested modifications and
design tweaks, crowd-sourced funding has been secured, and final stage
manufacturing partners are now being brought on board ahead of an
initial limited availability production run in Q1 2012. Read More
Red Bull F1 designer Adrian Newey set to make history
By Mike Hanlon
October 14, 2011
One of the greatest accomplishments in motor
racing history will most likely be achieved on Sunday and the
statisticians of the autosport world appear to have missed it.
Currently, three men have designed cars that have won seven world F1
constructors titles. Last year Red Bull's Adrian Newey joined the other
two (can you name them?) with his seventh title (Williams FW14B of 1992,
Williams FW15C of 1993, Williams FW16 of 1994, Williams FW18 of of
1996, Williams FW19 of 1997 and McLaren MP4/13). On Sunday, Red Bull
needs to score just one point more than McLaren for Newey to take his
eighth title with the 2011 Red Bull RB7. Two of the top four designers
in F1 history are British, and two hail from South Africa. Read More
With around two trillion text messages sent in
America alone every year, SMS text messaging is the most widely used
data application in the world and the number two use of mobile phones -
the first being to check the time. It's also a cash cow for
telecommunications companies with the average charge worldwide of around
US$0.10 per message for data that essentially costs the telco nothing
to transmit because it is sent on the control channel - a small part of
radio bandwidth that is used to send information between the tower and
phone about call setups. Apple's iOS 5 update - if you can get it installed
- sees the addition of a new iMessage app that could have telcos
nervous as it allows text messages to be sent for next to nothing. Read More
Last year researchers at Imperial College London proposed that along with being used to cloak physical objects metamaterials could also be used to cloak a singular event in time.
A year later, researchers from Cornell University have demonstrated a
working "temporal cloak" that is able to conceal a burst of light as if
it had never occurred. Read More
Nissan doubles power density with new Fuel Cell Stack
By Mike Hanlon
October 13, 2011
Nissan Motor yesterday revealed a new Fuel Cell
Stack for Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) that packs 85 kW-h into a
34-liter package. Through improvements to the Membrane Electrode
Assembly and the separator flow path, Nissan has improved the power
density of the Fuel Cell Stack to 2.5 times greater than its 2005 model,
and in so doing has created a world’s best 2.5 kW.h per liter power
density. Similarly, by reducing the need for platinum by 75 percent,
manufacturing costs have been reduced by 85 percent. Read More
Last year, GM unveiled its EN-V
(Electric Networked-Vehicle) concept in three flavors conceived by
design teams around the world. In an effort to ascertain the real-world
practicality of the two-seat, electric urban mobility concept, GM has
begun work on the next-generation EN-V concept vehicle that the company
plans to test in pilot demonstration programs in megacities around the
world. Read More
It's hard to comprehend the impact of the Black
Death. The "Great Pestilence" is believed to have originated somewhere
in Northern Asia in the 1330s before hitting Europe in 1347. It killed
an estimated 75 million people worldwide - that's around 25 per cent of
all humans in existence at the time. Now in an effort to better
understand modern infectious diseases, scientist have sequenced the
entire genome of the Black Death. Read More
There are plenty of situations in which it’s
convenient for people to be able to receive sensitive data on their
smartphones – one example could be a nurse at a clinic, who needs a
doctor’s office to email over a patient’s immunization records. The
problem is, those confidential records will still be on her phone, when
she leaves work with it at the end of the day. A new system developed at
Virginia Tech, however, offers a solution to that problem. It allows
mobile phones to access certain data only when they’re in a given
physical location, and wipes that data from their memories when they
leave. Read More
"Questionable Observer Detector" identifies people who keep popping up in crime scene footage
By Ben Coxworth
October 13, 2011
Chances are, you’ve seen at least one or two TV
shows in which the police examine news footage shot at several different
crime scenes, and recognize the same person’s face showing up
repeatedly in the crowds of onlookers ... the ol’ “criminal returning to
the scenes of their crimes” scenario. Realistically, it’s pretty hard
to believe that one person could look through all that footage, and
remember all those faces. It turns out that a computer could do it,
however, as scientists at Indiana’s University of Notre Dame have
illustrated with their “Questionable Observer Detector," or QuOD. Read More
Problems updating to iOS 5? Here's what you need to know
By Bryan Clark
October 13, 2011
Bricked iPhones, lost contacts, slow download
times and a host of other problems have plagued users trying to upgrade
their devices to the new iOS 5. Here are the most common problems and
how to fix them. Read More
Given that wireless gear-shifting
for bicycles has been around for the past few years, perhaps it
shouldn’t come as a surprise that someone has now developed a wireless braking
system. Created by computer scientists at Germany’s Saarland
University, the current prototype still looks a little boxy, but it does
do away with cables and brake levers. According to computer algorithms
that would normally be used in control systems for aircraft or chemical
factories, the system should offer 99.999999999997 percent reliability –
that means it would fail three times out of a trillion braking
attempts. Read More
Introducing "Glamping" (aka camping in style)
October 13, 2011
Eco-tourism is a fast developing industry, as
travelers become more conscious about what type of holiday they choose.
"Glamping" (glamor + camping) has thus become a popular option for many
the eco-tourist, incorporating eco-friendly domes or igloos, that take the camping experience to the next level of comfort. Here's a look at two eco-dome sites in Europe. Read More
Chevrolet to produce all-electric Spark mini car
By Darren Quick
October 13, 2011
After announcing this week that the Spark mini
car that is already sold in markets around the world will be available
in the U.S. and Canada from next year, Chevrolet has revealed that an
all-electric Spark will hit showrooms from 2013. Modeled after the Chevrolet Beat concept
that appeared at the 2007 New York Auto Show, the Spark is a five-door,
four-passenger hatch designed for urban environments that Chevrolet
claims will offer more interior room than other mini cars. It will also
be the smallest Chevrolet available in the U.S. and Canada. Read More
Dream Chaser space plane to fall from the skies next summer
By Jan Belezina
October 13, 2011
The Dream Chaser, a reusable space plane
currently under development by Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC), is to
undergo high altitude drop tests in 2012 following a 25.6 million US
dollar boost from NASA to top-off the 80 million US dollar contract awarded earlier this year. But it won't be chasing just any dream. With the retirement of the Space Shuttle Program
this year, the very tangible goal is to deliver a low-cost, safe
alternative for transporting astronauts and cargo to the International
Space Station and other low Earth orbit destinations. Read More
Carbon is the fourth-most-abundant element in the
universe and comes in a wide variety of forms, called allotropes,
including graphite, graphene,
and the hardest natural material known to man, diamonds. Now scientists
have discovered a new form of carbon that is capable of withstanding
extreme pressure stresses previously only observed in diamond. Unlike
crystalline forms of carbon such as diamonds, whose hardness is highly
dependent upon the direction in which the crystal is formed, the new
form of carbon is amorphous meaning it could be equally strong in all
directions. Read More
Kogan adds budget 8-inch and 10-inch tablets to Agora range
By Darren Quick
October 13, 2011
Budget tablets seem to be the order of the week. While not as easy on the pocket as the Aakash tablet
unveiled earlier this week, Australian consumer electronics
manufacturer and retailer, Kogan, has announced its own budget tablet
offerings. The company's new Android-powered Agora 8-inch and Agora
10-inch tablets join Kogan's Agora line, which also includes laptops and a 7-inch Agora tablet that launched earlier this year. Read More
Latest deep ocean shipwreck discoveries have a silver lining
October 12, 2011
Ocean exploration has always been salted with the
allure of sunken treasure, and with precious metal prices hitting new
records and new technologies allowing access to deeper sites, that
Siren's call has never been greater. Recently, a team of Odyssey Marine
Exploration (OME) technicians and archeologists announced finding not
one, but two British shipwrecks off Ireland, the SS Gairsoppa and the SS Mantola.
Only 100 miles and a World War apart, the two hulks rusting away in the
deep Atlantic collectively contain what could prove to be millions of
ounces of silver. Read More
Water bottle bike lock supplies security, not water
By Ben Coxworth
October 12, 2011
Bike locks ... they’re very necessary items, but
are sometimes a hassle to carry when you’re riding. U-locks can be
clipped into a frame-mounted bracket, but not everyone wants a big
plastic bracket permanently installed on their prized two-wheeler. They
can also be stuffed in a backpack, although that can be a challenge if
space in said backpack is already at a premium. Alternatives include a
lock that you wear like a belt, and a lock that straps onto the bicycle’s top tube. Now, there’s another option – a lock that has the form of a water bottle, so it can sit in your bottle cage. Read More
A Texas company is developing an innovative
medical device to reduce the risk of infection during surgery. Nimbic
Systems' Air Barrier System (ABS) dispenses purified air through a
flexible nozzle which can be fixed adjacent to the patient's incision,
shielding the wound by producing a non turbulent flow of filtered air
and reducing the presence of infection causing microorganisms. Read More
Although Virgin Galactic is generally known as a
space tourism company, it sees research experiments as a future mission
segment and significant business opportunity. To this end, the company
has signed a contract with NASA to provide up to three charter flights
on its SpaceShipTwo suborbital spaceplane. The deal follows the curtain closing on the Space Shuttle program
earlier this year and is part of NASA's Flight Opportunities Program,
which is charged with providing reduced-gravity environments for
research experiments while encouraging the emerging commercial space
industry. Read More
The appeal of a luxury timepiece has little to do
with being able to tell the time. They are signifiers of status, wealth
and taste (or the lack of it) and the thousands or tens of thousands of
dollars/pounds/euros that they cost can be justified to some extent by
the use of precious metals and gemstones, or the history of hundreds of
years of artisanal craftsmanship that some brands possess. Then there is
a whole other level of horology that transcends even these
considerations. Where "value" is judged in a similar way to modern art.
Where timepieces are created in strictly limited numbers around a unique
conceptual design using cutting-edge materials and extraordinary
mechanical skill. Urwerk is a Swiss watchmaker that has prospered at
these lofty heights for ten years and its latest creation admirably
demonstrates the attributes required of these astonishingly expensive
mechanical masterpieces. Read More
2011 World Solar Challenge gets underway down under
By Darren Quick
October 16, 2011
The 11th World Solar Challenge
got underway on Sunday with participants starting out from Darwin,
Northern Territory, on a 3,000-kilometer (1,864 mile) solar-powered car
race across the red center of Australia. The start follows three days of
scrutineering and a day of qualifying that saw Solar Team Twente from
the Netherlands take pole position in a field of 37 teams from 20
countries. But the margin was tight, with the team’s 21Connect solar car
coming in just 0.00.3 seconds ahead of fellow compatriots and four time
winners, the Nuon Solar Team. Read More
Most dog-walkers accept the necessity of cleaning
up after their charges, but no one is claiming that it's a pleasurable
experience. While we've seen eco-friendly dog waste disposal bags and systems that turn poop into plant fertilizer,
we've yet to come across an approach that takes care of both collection
and disposal quite like AshPoopie. Still a concept at this stage, the
AshPoopie from Israel-based Paulee CleanTech is a kind of portable
refuse incinerator crossed with ordinary one-handed pet waste scoop
that's designed to turn feces into 100% sterile ash on the spot. Read More
Throwable ball camera captures panoramic images
October 16, 2011
Taking pictures is about to get a lot more fun if
computer engineer Jonas Pfeil and his colleagues have anything to say
about it. A recent graduate from the Technical University of Berlin,
Pfeil and his team designed and built a working prototype "ball" camera-
a foam-studded sphere (about 8 inches in diameter) peppered with 36
tiny 2-megapixel cell phone cameras. Throw it in the air and it captures
an image at the top of the ball's trajectory. Talk about redefining
photography- one day, snapping pics may give way to "tossing" them. Read More
Digi Cam shoots double exposures, lo-fi stills and video
By Pawel Piejko
October 16, 2011
"Lo-fi" photography using film cameras such as Holga
has made something of a comeback in recent times, with creative types
embracing the ability to do things like snapping double exposures. The
pocket-sized, 3.2-megapixel Double Exposure Digi Cam offers a way to try
out this effect without the use of image editing software or a trip to
the dark-room. Read More
A team from the University of California at Davis
has developed an affordable way to give the iPhone surprisingly capable
chemical detection and imaging powers. We've reported on cellphone microscopes
before, but this version claims to be simpler in concept and less

Kawasaki has released details of its 2012 ZX-14R
and the Japanese giant has once again gazumped the competition to retake
top spot on the motorcycle horsepower ladder. No figures have been
released, other than the statement that it will be the fastest
accelerating motorcycle in production and it that has the most powerful
production motorcycle engine ever built. This article summarizes
everything that's known about the new monster and its (estimated) 210
bhp and awesome power curve. Read More
Tiny twisting muscles developed for propelling nanobots
By Ben Coxworth
October 14, 2011
We've been hearing a lot lately about the
possibility of treating medical conditions using nanobots - tiny robots
that would be injected into a patient's bloodstream, where they would
proceed to travel to their targets, not unlike the microscopic submarine
in the movie Fantastic Voyage ... except nanobots wouldn't be
crewed by tiny shrunken-down humans. One challenge that still needs to
be met, however, is figuring out a way of propelling the devices. Well,
we may now be closer to a solution. Yesterday, development of a new type
of nanoscale artificial muscle was announced, which works like the
muscles in an elephant's trunk. These could conceivably be used in
nanobots, to whip them along using a rotating flagellum - a tiny
sperm-like tail, in other words. Read More
DeLorean to be resurrected with US$100,000 EV
By Mike Hanlon
October 18, 2011
If you fell in love with the De Lorean in the Back to the Future
movie series, the good news is that in 2013, you'll be able to buy a
real one again. It won't have a flux capacitor, won't time-travel and
it'll still be a thirty year-old design (albeit styled by Giugiaro and
structurally redesigned by Colin Chapman of Lotus fame after De Lorean
himself screwed up the first design), but it will have a 200+ bhp
electric motor (the original had an asthmatic V6 producing 130 bhp) and
those awesome gull-wing doors and it'll be … errr ... really cool. No,
really! It won't be called the DMC-12 any more either, because the 12
stood for its new price at launch - US$12,000. The new one will cost you
between US$90,000 and US$100,000. Read More
Strange though it may seem, despite manufacturers
going to great lengths to provide the very best in image quality, there
are quite a number of snappers who long for the kind of warm and fuzzy
(and often accidental) creations from the good old days of 35mm film
cameras. Olympus or Panasonic Micro Four Thirds camera owners looking
for a cheaper alternative to the kind of soft edging and background blur
effects offered by the likes of Lens Baby might well be interested in SLR Magic's 35mm f1.4 toy Micro Four Thirds camera lens. Read More
Basic car safety systems designed to save lives in the event of an accident like seatbelts and airbags are being supplemented in modern vehicles by increasingly sophisticated preventative technologies such as ABS and lane departure warning systems.
The next step in the evolution of collision prevention technology is
vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications systems
like that found on the LTE Connected Car and BMW's Vision ConnectedDrivet
concepts that would allow vehicles to share information on their
relative location and road conditions. GM has recently announced it is
testing small, portable devices that create a "wireless safety net" to
gather information from other vehicles and infrastructure to warn
drivers of potential hazards. Read More
Within just the past few years, scientists have
developed an impressive number of experimental systems designed to help
the blind navigate city streets. These have included devices that mount on the wrist, are incorporated into glasses, are worn as a vest, and that augment a traditional white cane.
A young researcher at Hewlett-Packard Labs in Bangalore, India,
however, has come up with something else - a navigational device for the
blind that's built into a shoe. Read More
Last week we posted an audience video of the a
'sneak peek' presentation from the Adobe Max developer conference that
showed a remarkable de-blurring Photoshop plug-in in development. Adobe
has now posted their official high quality video of the presentation

pretty awesome too. Video after the break. Read More
There’s a reason that the oranges you see in the
store usually aren’t rotten – someone at a sorting facility has already
looked over all the oranges coming in from the fields, and taken out the
spoiled ones. This is typically done with the help of ultraviolet
light, which illuminates the essential oils in the rinds of rotten
oranges. Such an approach is subject to human error, however, plus
workers can only remain in the vicinity of the harmful UV light for
limited periods of time. Now, scientists from Spain’s Valencian
Institute of Agrarian Research (IVIA) have created a machine that does
the same job automatically. While they were at it, they also came up
with one that sorts oranges according to aesthetic appeal, and one that
sorts mandarin segments. Read More
Even though touch-sensitive digital music interfaces like Roger Linn's LinnStrument
offer users access to whole new worlds of sonic expression, there's
still something very appealing about the feel of real wood beneath the
fingers. The Soundplane Model A throws cold plastic playing surfaces out
the window and presents players with 150 walnut keys incorporating
patent-pending continuous capacitive sensing technology, for a computer
music controller with the feel of an acoustic instrument. Read More
'Robotic biologist' crunches raw data and formulates equations
By Ben Coxworth
October 17, 2011
While some people may have been impressed (or
intimidated) by the recent development of a system that automatically raises and analyzes cell cultures,
it turns out that another facet of the biological research process may
also be going to the machines. An interdisciplinary team of researchers
recently demonstrated a computer system that is able to take in raw
scientific data from a biological system, and output mathematical
equations describing how that system operates - it is reportedly one of
the most complex scientific modeling problems that a computer has solved
entirely from scratch. While the system is known affectionately as
"ABE," it is also being referred to as a robotic biologist. Read More
Toyota and Peugeot announce plans for hybrid race cars
By Jack Martin
October 17, 2011
Toyota is the world's largest car maker and it is
going sports car racing. Next year it intends to enter the
hotly-contested LMP1 class with a car powered by a petrol hybrid
power-train. Toyota's intention to promote its hybrid engine prowess
appears certain to invigorate Le Mans racing as Peugeot already has a
hybrid diesel under testing for next year and Porsche is rumored to have
a hybrid race car ready by 2013. Read More
While the latest 3D TV
revolution has had a slow start, the use of 3D technology for video
games has proven more popular with over 600 3D-supported games currently
available on the PC. However, one of the big downsides 3D gaming
solutions, such as NVIDIA’s 3D Vision,
share with 3D TV is the noticeably dimmer image that results from
wearing active shutter glasses. NVIDIA has now updated its 3D gaming
technology with the unveiling of 3D Vision 2, that uses a new technology
called NVIDIA 3D LightBoost that is claimed to increase the brightness
of 3D images by up to two times. Read More
If you're a cyclist who wants to turn a few heads
on the road, you should ride a recumbent tricycle ... people can't help
but notice something that appears to be a low-riding lawn chair on
wheels. If you want to get noticed by other recumbent trike riders, you
might look into getting a Catrike 700. With its 700C wheels and
relatively light weight of just 33 pounds (15 kg), it's said to be one
of the fastest production trikes that money can buy. However, how do you
get noticed by other Catrike riders? Well, you could try
equipping your trike with just about every accessory imaginable, all of
them in black. That's what Fayetteville, North Carolina native Jim Artis
did with his. The result - which he named "Silk" - looks like something
designed for dispatching evil-doers by dark of night, before tearing
off in a swirl of dry ice vapor. Read More
Space travel just got another step closer for the
masses (at least the well-heeled ones) with the dedication of Virgin
Galactic's new "Gateway to Space" facility at Spaceport America,
the world's first purpose-built spaceliner terminal. Situated in the
southern New Mexico desert, numerous luminaries were on hand to dedicate
the innovative 120,000 square foot terminal/hangar facility (THF),
including moon-walking astronaut, Buzz Aldrin and New Mexico governor
Susana Martinez. Read More

Users of the Pulse Phone
app may be justifiably impressed at the way in which it lets them
measure their heart rate, simply by placing their finger over their
iPhone's camera lens. Well, a biomedical engineer at Worcester
Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Massachusetts has taken that concept
several steps farther. Inspired by Pulse Phone, Prof. Ki Chon developed
an Android app that measures not only heart rate, but also heart rhythm,
respiration rate and blood oxygen saturation - all through a finger
against the lens. Measurements made by the app are said to be as
accurate as those obtained using standard medical monitors. Read More
T-Mobile unveils LG DoublePlay dual-touchscreen smartphone

T-Mobile will soon offer an unusual
dual-touchscreen Android-based smartphone, in the form of LG DoublePlay.
Billed as the 2011 LG U.S. National Texting Championship's official
device, the DoublePlay is apparently aimed at busy users who need to
text, e-mail and use social media in a timely fashion. Read More
New process "electroports" gene therapy agents into living cells
By Ben Coxworth
October 18, 2011
One of the key processes in gene therapy involves
taking cells from the patient, injecting a therapeutic genetic material
into them, then reintroducing them to the patient’s body and letting
them go to work. Unfortunately, getting that material into the cells can
be tricky. While larger cells can actually be punctured with a fine
needle, most human cells are too small for that approach to be possible.
There are also methods of inserting random amounts of material into
bulk quantities of cells, but these are inexact. Now, however,
scientists at Ohio State University are reporting success with a process
known as “nanochannel electroporation” (NEP), in which therapeutic
biomolecules are electrically shot into cells. Read More
Amateur astronomers wanting to observe celestial
bodies soon won’t be limited to just their own personal telescopes, or
visits to the local public observatory. Starting next year, the first in
a worldwide network of robotic telescopes will be going online, which
users from any location on the planet will be able to operate for free
via the internet. Known as Gloria (GLObal Robotic telescopes Intelligent
Array for e-Science), the three-year European project will ultimately
include 17 telescopes on four continents, run by 13 partner groups from
Russia, Chile, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Czech Republic,
Poland and Spain. Not only will users be able to control the telescopes
from their computers, but they will also have access to the astronomical
databases of Gloria and other organizations. Read More
Bosco Verticale: the world's first vertical forest
October 18, 2011
Italian architecture firm Boeri Studio hopes to
merge vegetation and urban architecture, with its Bosco Verticale

100-51200, the world's fastest shutter release lag (as short as just 36
milliseconds), and full high definition movie recording. Read More
Volvo V60 diesel plug-in hybrid to launch next year
By Darren Quick
October 18, 2011
At its unveiling at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show earlier this year, Volvo said its V60 plug-in hybrid
was "virtually production-ready." This was an accurate statement as it
turns out, with the Swedish automaker announcing that from next year it
will begin selling what is likely to be the world's first diesel plug-in
hybrid production car. The V60 plug-in hybrid has a range of up to 50
km (31 miles) when driven purely by the electric motor, with the car's
total operating range extending up to 1,200 km (745.6 miles) when
combined with the ICE. Read More
