As motorcycle riders, safety should always be our top priority; they represent the highest injury rate of all accidents on the road1. One way to stay safe is to wear protective gear that can help minimize the impact of a fall or collision. The latest innovation in this field is the Airbag Jeans from Mo’Cycle,...

When Elon Musk decided to send his personal Tesla into space, it did raise a few eyebrows. After 5 years of it hovering in space, the main question that people have been asking is- where is it now? As of the 6th of February, the sports car has been wandering in the oblivion of space...
Imagine traveling from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 45 minutes or less. With these conceptual Hyperloop trains, that could be a reality. The Hyperloop train system is a vacuum-sealed tube that allows for transporting people and cargo at high speeds. The vacuum-sealed tubes are similar to those used in pneumatic tubes, but they are...
Imagine having searched for years for the love of your life, and you finally found them. The only thing is, they have just been offered a job overseas. Now, you face the reality of losing them just as things are about to get serious. The good news is technology has made long-distance dating seem a...
Passive House is a concept for an energy efficient building. The design is structured to maintain room temperature inside with little to no energy used for heating or cooling. Patrick McCunney owns one of these houses in Maine, and he shares the in-and-outs of his 1,500-square-foot, two-story New England farmhouse-style home. He and his wife,...
Technology is moving fast. So quickly, in fact, that some experts suggest a possible trend in which artificial intelligence (AI) will reach the singularity within seven years. At this point, there will be no distinction between human and machine or physical and virtual reality. They say this could be by the end of this decade. ...
There is a new sustainable technology for storing energy on the block. It is known as ‘ Underground Gravity Energy Storage’ or ‘ UGES’ – aka gravity batteries. These gravity batteries take advantage of abandoned mines around the world. The researchers propose that this could provide an avenue to more sustainable energy for future generations....
Aerophobia is the name for flight anxiety, and it’s fairly common. Even those who don’t have this phobia can still experience fear while flying. It’s easy — but not recommended — to start imagining all the ways the flight could end in disaster. All it takes is a little turbulence for the imagination to run...
The crash of Aeroflot Flight 593 is chilling. It resulted in the deaths of all of the passengers and crew members on board — and it was so preventable. This 1994 flight from Moscow to Hong Kong spun off course and crashed into the Kuznetsk Alatau mountain range, and for some time, no one understood...
Deforestation is a far more perilous problem than it was a couple of decades ago. While there have been activists who have called for a halt to the indiscriminate cutting of trees, no viable alternative had been researched. But that ignorance is a thing of the past. We now have technology that can allow us...
AI can make art now. Tools like Dall-E Mini, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion allow users to write a prompt for the artificial intelligence program to interpret into an image. Within a few minutes, an idea for a picture can appear on a computer screen. The AI uses an algorithm to generate images based on real...
Over the last decade or so we have made many advancements in solar technology. Recently, MIT researchers have developed paper-thin solar cells that can essentially turn any surface into a source of power. These cells could change the way we look at solar technology. The Paper-Thin Solar Cells That Can Change Any Surface Into A...
