Suzuki MOQBA is next-generation four-leg mobility for those facing transportation barriers such as steps. Suzuki MOQBA is a new mobility that can move smoothly with wheels on flat roads, and seamlessly move on steps with legs. A proposal for next-generation mobility utilizing wheels and four legs, even in a region with developed public transportation. By […]

Acro eVTOL ultra-light aircraft concept Acro eVTOL ultra-light aircraft concept was created to fulfill the booming demand for new experiences and adventures in yachting. Klissarov Design designed Acro, an ultralight recreational eVTOL concept vehicle providing “the ultimate 3D flight joy experience; aerobatic, fun and emotional.” The vehicle’s propulsion system is based on cutting-edge cycloidal rotor […]

Imagine a particle so small that it’s the same relative size to a football as that ball is to the planet Earth. That’s the size of a quantum dot – a type of nanocrystal that changes colour depending on its size, and was once thought impossible to actually produce. Today, they’re found in some high-definition […]

Making roads on the Moon.  The idea of melting sand to make roadways was first proposed for Earth, back in 1933. An ESA project tested the creation of roadworthy surfaces and landing pads, by melting simulated moondust with a powerful laser. When astronauts return to the lunar surface they are probably going to be doing […]

SHANE Revolutionary Two-wheeled Electric car SHANE revolutionary two-wheeled electric car automatically reacts to keep the car in perfect balance. Created by Shane Chen, SHANE’s parallel wheels automatically react relative to the car body to keep the car in perfect balance, even at high speeds. Intended to be practical and efficient for everyday urban and highway […]

The simulated universe theory implies that our universe, with all its galaxies, planets and life forms, is a meticulously programmed computer simulation. In this scenario, the physical laws governing our reality are simply algorithms. The experiences we have are generated by the computational processes of an immensely advanced system. While inherently speculative, the simulated universe […]

Is there anything worse than a disappointing first date? It is particularly disheartening when a potential partnership that had so much promise turns out to be one big personality clash. My team’s recent study suggests that other animals may also need to navigate personality clashes, or else face disastrous consequences if they pick the wrong […]

Flyover Mars Labyrinth of Night, one of the most striking areas on the Red Planet, with Mars Express spacecraft. Nestled between the colossal Martian ‘Grand Canyon’ (Valles Marineris) and the tallest volcanoes in the Solar System (the Tharsis region) lies Noctis Labyrinthus – a vast system of deep and steep valleys that stretches out for […]

Quartz, also known as silica, is everywhere. This mineral is in the screen of the laptop or phone you’re reading this article on. It’s used to make computer chips, which are in everything from medical equipment to washing machines. It can be melted to produce glass. Chemically, quartz is silicon dioxide: one silicon atom attached […]

Picture your typical human evolution museum display. You walk into a dimly lit space with glass boxes on white plinths or roped off areas. There are lots and lots of bones. Maybe a bit of history on how those bones were collected, and pictures of the famous people – usually men – who collected them. […]
