Researchers from the University of Rochester, N.Y. developed a new ultra thin porous membrane which may revolutionize the way doctors and scientists manipulate objects on the molecular level. The new membrane is only 50-atom thick and can withstand very high ...
Is it a plane? Is it a rotorcraft? No! It’s the CarterCopter. This unique craft is a hybrid between an airplane and a rotorcraft which uses its main upper rotor for take offs, landings, lows speed flying and hovering and ...
We all know about mass transit systems like buses and trains but how about a personal transit system which can drive several passengers over a relatively short distance quickly and at a high frequency. The British company ATS (Advanced Transport ...
The idea of a floating city with capable of carrying over 100,000 people including a working commercial airport and even a train might seem ludicrous but this is exactly what engineer and Freedom Ship International company founder, Norman Nixon, had ...
The Proteus is a new type of craft based on what is known as “Wave Adaptive Modular Vassal” (WAM-V) design. Unlike conventional boats, the hull of a WAM-V conforms to the surface of the water. The Marine Advanced Research Company ...
In 2006, we covered numerous innovative technologies ranging from true 3D displays to robotic flying insects. We covered success stories, such as the Israeli ramjet rocket built by students and embarrassing moments such as Honda’s ASIMO robot’s fall in a ...
After all sorts of three wheeled motorcycles (e.g., the T-Rex and the PIAGGIO MP3), how about a one-wheeler? The Bombardier EMBRIO is a concept one-wheeled hydrogen fuel cell-powered, gyroscopically balanced recreational and commuting vehicle for one or more passengers. The ...
The Active Aeroelastic Wing flight demonstrator received the new designation X-53 on December 8th, 2006, four years after its first test flight in November 2002. The new experimental plane designation is another step in the development of this unique concept ...
A year after the creation of the first nanocar by scientists from Rice University, a new and improved version is on the showroom floor. The new car, which includes a light-driven engine, opens the door to future development of more ...
One of the most ancient time-keeping technologies known, water clocks were used by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and Babylonians, often for their ability to assist in astronomical and astrological predictions and less for their ability to measure the passing ...
