The initiative called Range of Electric Solution L-category Vehicles leads the European Union to encourage KTM an Piaggo in a project that aims to make efficient trhee- and four-wheel tilting narrow trach vehicles a common sight on European roads by the end of the decade.

Alongside the A2 highway near Den Bosch two test noise barriers are installed that generate solar energy. The aim of this practical test, that was officially launched 18 June is to assess the economic and technical feasibility of this form of energy generating noise barriers. Playing a key role in the test are the LSC panels, developed by researcher Michael Debije at TU/e.

A lightweight design, a fraction of the construction time, virtually maintenance free, and three times the expected lifespan. PlasticRoad, which consists of 100% recycled material, is the ideal sustainable alternative to conventional road structures.

Last week researchers at the University of Buffalo revealed their progress on a pair of LED eye glasses that will use light therapy to treat insomnia.

While numerous wearables tout fitness benefits, few devices have demonstrated any empirical evidence of improving wellness. It’s become clear that the golden use case that would propel wearables from a clever accessory to a genuine necessity has yet to emerge. This may be about to change. Last week researchers at the University of Buffalo revealed their progress on a pair of LED eye glasses that will use light therapy to treat insomnia.

Retailers already have the technology to scan your face and track you, and they expect to not have to get your consent to do so. Should businesses should need permission to scan your face and retain your information? This past week, privacy advocates have given up and walked away from a 16-month-long effort to secure that standards are in place to protect consumers from retail facial scans.

One way to boost performance in an underachieving or aging heart is to get a valve replacement. In the old days that meant a huge surgery and the better part of a year to fully recover. Valve suppliers that want to move product have recently come up with a much better option that combines catheter-based delivery with cutting edge imaging and presurgical stimulation. The entire process can now repair the heart in a few hours and have you back on your feet within a few days.

Schätzung gehen von weltweit rund 400 Millionen Diabetes-Patienten aus. Neue Technologien und Geräte werden in den kommenden Jahren das Management von Diabetes signifikant verbessern. Das Start-up Medella, geleitet von einem 22-jährigen Kanadier, will gegen Google, Microsoft und Novartis antreten. Geld kommt von einem frühen Facebook-Investor.

Forget the seatback video screen, the future of inflight entertainment is your own smartphone and tablet. Alaska Airlines began rolling out an inflight package called Alaska Beyond Monday, including a streaming service with about 100 hours of video entertainment. The airline will outfit its entire fleet of 737s with the service by April.

If one Dutch architect gets his way, we might soon be living in car-free urban forests where the buildings look like trees.

"Imagine living with nothing but green around you," says architect Raimond de Hullu. "Imagine growing flowers or tomatoes on your façade."

Der Raimond de Hullu konzipiert Wohnhäuser in Gestalt von meterhohen Bäumen. Dahinter versteckt sich ein grünes Wohnkonzept und einem Leben in der Natur.

Wie ein Tarnkappenflieger unter Wasser: das neue schwedische U-Boot Kockums A26. Saab baut für Schweden ein U-Boot, das effektiv unsichtbar sein soll. Dadurch wird es möglich, dass Taucher das Schiff unbemerkt verlassen - zum Beispiel bei der Verteidigung gegen Russland.

Ewig frisches Gewebe, jederzeit! Kaum jemand hätte je gedacht, dass dieser Traum greifbar würde. In Japan entsteht eine neue Biobank. Dort sollen Stammzellen lagern, um die gesundheitliche Zukunft des Landes zu sichern. Ausländische Forscher sind durchaus neidisch.

Almost everyone knows at least one of the following situations: you want to bake a cake but cannot remember the exact recipe, you do not know how to use a high-tech kitchen stove to prepare a delicious meal or simply how to repair a bicycle. In such everyday situations it may be helpful to receive unobtrusive and intuitive support from an adaptive technical system that operates along in a largely unnoticed and restriction-free manner. This project focuses on the development and testing of intelligent glasses.

Bio-inspired micro-devices could potentially replace animal testing and bring new therapies to patients faster and at lower cost in the future.

We heard it from GM CEO Mary Barra at Wednesday's unveiling of the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze compact sedan. "Making technology attainable also extends to electric vehicles," she said. "To make the biggest impact, it takes an engineering organization with the scale and the expertise to build electric vehicles for everyone, not just the elite."

Hydrogen - the most abundant element in the universe - has the potential to fuel our cities, leaving behind nothing but water and heat. Now a team of engineers has come up with a solution; a low-cost water splitter that produces both hydrogen and oxygen, continuously. While it appears to be a promising technology, creating hydrogen artificially has so far proven to be costly and difficult.

The intriguing chemistry that occurs where rivers meet the sea could power our homes and much more. It is perhaps one of the most under-exploited sources of green energy. When salt water and fresh water mix in estuaries, a chemical process occurs that can be harnessed for electricity generation.

After he lost his right leg in a car accident, Brian Bartlett was told he'd have to give up extreme sports – so he set out to prove the experts wrong. Rose Eveleth reports.

As robots return to the small screen in Channel 4's Humans, Matthew Sweet reflects on their long and peculiar television history.

For years, the tech giant’s Mountain View headquarters sat on leased property, the corporate equivalent of a rented pad downtown. On moving in, Google did something like a spackle-and-paint job (a costly interior renovation, in 2005), and tried to make the place its own (the famous multicolored bikes).

In den Kriegen der Zukunft werden autonome Roboter darüber entscheiden, wer leben darf und wer sterben muss. Ethiker und Menschenrechtler fordern ein Verbot dieser Waffen. Ihre Befürworter glauben, dass sie zu weniger zivilen Opfern führen würden.

Lindo, the electric vehicle based on the piggio ‘ape’, – also know as the rickshaw in developing countries, is planning on changing the transportation system with a more refined mode rather than continuing by making the system inaccessible and difficult to use. the three wheeler was created by kyle armstrong, a young designer at the university of RMIT, in melbourne australia. he based it around a carbon fibre chassis, and titanium space frame that makes it light yet strong and highly durable.

The robo-squid with a laser weapon that could blast its way through ice to find alien life in Europa's underground oceans / Cryobot is designed to tunnel down through thick ice caps / Uses a high powered laser to melt its way through thick ice / Liquid ocean on Europa could be 62 miles (100 kilometers) deep.

A robot sub that could one day scour Europa for alien life has begun tests in alaska. The robotic 'cryobot' is designed to tunnel down through thick ice caps and penetrate subterranean seas, is undergoing tests on the Matanuska glacier in Alaska. It uses a laser to blast its way through ice.

MELBOURNE, Australia — Off the coast of Western Australia, three big buoys floating beneath the ocean’s surface look like giant jellyfish tethered to the seafloor. The steel machines, 36 feet wide, are buffeted by the powerful waves of the Indian Ocean. By harnessing the constant motion of the waves, the buoys generate about 5 percent of the electricity used at a nearby military base on Garden Island.

Scientists have created a synchronous computer that operates using the unique physics of moving water droplets.

The computer is nearly a decade in the making, incubated from an idea that struck Manu Prakash, an assistant professor of bioengineering at Stanford University, when he was a graduate student. The work combines his expertise in manipulating droplet fluid dynamics with a fundamental element of computer science—an operating clock.
