The future is now, but beyond that are some incredible concept technologies and designs that are much closer than most people realize. Here you will find some of the most exciting soon-to-be-innovations ready to make the leap from virtual to actual reality.
What sounded like a long shot attempt to literally suck some of the suffocating smog out of China’s sky is actually working, according to updates on the Smog Free Project, which installed an ...
Integrating fairly seamlessly into existing city infrastructure, making use of renewable energy and solving the 'last mile' problem plaguing most public transit systems, these designs make some ...
Dragonflies experience their brief lives on this planet 10 times faster than humans, and in 12 color wavelengths as compared to our three, a viewpoint that’s been impossible to comprehend prior ...
As robotic cars take to the streets, designers are beginning to see possibilities for urban mobility that go beyond human and cargo transport. What if plants, for instance, could be moved around ...
Designed to address the pervasive drought and long-term water problems of the West Coast, The Pipe is an offshore water purification plant that combines sustainable energy, public works and ...
30 years post-Chernobyl and 5 years after Fukushima, we still haven't figured out how to deal with lingering radiation in the wake of a nuclear disaster or come up with a foolproof way to protect ...
Ultra-strong and incredibly versatile carbon fiber can be woven by robots in a scale as small as furniture and as large as a stadium, a technological advance that could represent the fourth ...
A group of students from the University of Tokyo have created the world's first work of 3D pen-drawn architecture, extruding thermoplastic filament to generate a structurally-stable arch ...
No need to get too concerned about a robot uprising just yet, if the finalists at last year’s DARPA Robotics Challenge are any indication, but that doesn’t mean the field hasn’t made some ...
A group of Swedish scientists has developed a successful method for integrating conductive wire systems into plants, naturally soaked up from a gel into leaves and stems to create ...
