Normally it’s not the camera that makes a good photograph, but the photographer. But the Nadia digital camera, created by Andrew Kupresanin, could turn anyone into an Ansel Adams. Instead of an LCD display showing what you’ve just shot, or even a viewfinder for that matter, the Nadia shows a judgment of the aesthetic [...]
To celebrate the Argentinian friendship day, Ogilvy Argentina agency has created a huge Coca-Cola vending machine. If you want to buy the coke, you will need friends help to buy the coke, but you can get an extra bottle for free.
Sony is working on a new type of blue-violet ultra-fast pulsed laser for optical disks, one that would be used for a new format of super-high-capacity discs. The only problem? We probably won’t be using disks anymore when they get around to releasing it.
It’s becoming pretty obvious that streaming and downloading are where media [...]
What if you could recharge batteries simply by shaking them? Japan’s Brother Industries thinks its prototype rechargeable batteries could shake up the gadget market.
Brother showed off the prototype Vibration Energy Cell at Techno-Frontier 2010 this week in Tokyo, demonstrating it in a TV remote control, LED flashlight, and a remote lamp switch.
The generator comes [...]
The current land speed world record is 763 mph, set by the ThrustSSC supersonic car in 1997. It was designed by a team including supersonic car pioneer Richard Noble, who is back again with the Bloodhound, a car that could set the bar even higher.

Smart cars are great in big cities like here in New York, because they can be squeezed into all kinds of tiny parking spots that other drivers simply ignore. The problem is you’re not going to be too intimidating on the road next to a bunch of giant SUVs.

The idea behind this [...]
Not too long ago DARPA put out a call for a flying car, wanting something that had all the versatility on land as a Humvee, but also had Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) capabilities. Texas-based AVX Aircraft is stepping up to the plate, and its concept looks pretty close.
DARPA asked for something that could [...]
Oriol Guimera and Joan Cinca of Barcelona-based design firm, Guimeraicinca, joined forces to create this “armored” moped.
While the moped is parked, the solar panels charge and protect; when you’re ready to head out on the town, just roll back the retractable shell and go. The SunRed may not be the zippiest vehicle on the [...]
