By now we should all know how important composting is for the environment, but many people are put off by the smell of rotting food most compost bins can leave in the kitchen. Germany-based Kamaro Products has come up with a solution in the form of a stainless steel compost bin that features a smart airflow system and charcoal filter […]

A.I Tracks Oceanic Plastic From Air
As millions of tons of plastic wash into the ocean everyday, scientists have their work cut out for them in trying to keep tabs on its whereabouts, but they may soon have a useful new tool at the their disposal. Researchers at the University of Barcelona have developed an algorithm that can detect and quantify marine litter through aerial imagery, […]
Wheelchair With Folding Wheels
Back in 2018, we heard about a full-size foldable wheel known as the Revolve. Its inventor, Andrea Mocellin, has now incorporated the technology into a wheelchair that folds down to fit inside an airliner’s overhead baggage area. The wheel itself features a central hub, six folding aluminum structures that take the place of traditional spokes, and an aluminum rim that’s […]
Flexible Drill Adapter
With more time spent at home, many of us have a laundry list of home projects that we’d like to take on. However, hard-to-reach places can often bring on challenges that can deter us from finishing our ambitious endeavors. Meet the Flex Drill Adapter. Whether you’re working in a tight corner that limits the reach of your drill or […]
Powershot Pick Uses AI To Capture Photos Automatically
As it did with the Ivy Rec and PowerShot Zoom, Canon has launched a crowdfunding campaign to get an AI-powered camera called the PowerShot Pick into the hands of early adopters. Many of us capture key moments using smartphones or selfie-friendly pocket cameras, but these can be rather forced, all smiles and laughter affairs instead of something wholly natural. The […]
Trash Trap Targets To Remove Waste From Vietnam’s Red River
Removing the vast amounts of plastic waste already polluting our oceans is going to need tackling in a number of ways. But the flow of plastic from rivers also needs to be stopped, and that’s what Vietnam’s trash traps are designed to do. They may not look quite as swanky as the Interceptors from the Ocean Cleanup, but the idea […]
6 Ways To Gain More Leads Using A Voicemail
One of the best ways to gain organic customers, or more specifically, loyal customers, is through lead generation—the process of nurturing relationships with prospects until they decide to buy your products. The problem is that this process can be time-consuming. After all, developing your relationship with one person is difficult enough already. Who knows how long it would take if […]
Low-Cost Diagnostic Device Produces 3D Image of Skin
When someone has a skin condition such as eczema or psoriasis, it helps to be able to see all of the tiny ridges and grooves in the affected area. That’s where a portable new device comes in, which is designed to produce 3D images of skin in a matter of minutes. Developed at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University, the inexpensive battery-powered […]
Recycled Fask Masks Contributes To Greater Road Strength?
Scientists at Australia’s RMIT University are continually coming up with ways to work recovered waste items into high-performing road materials, including cigarette butts, discarded tires and building rubble. Their latest effort has a certain relevance as the world grapples with its second year of the coronavirus pandemic, with the researchers using shredded face masks in a road material they say […]
Powerpaste Packs Clean Hydrogen Energy
Fraunhofer researchers have presented a magnesium-based “Powerpaste” that stores hydrogen energy at 10 times the density of a lithium battery, offering hydrogen fuel cell vehicles the ability to travel further than gasoline-powered ones, and refuel in minutes. Typically, of course, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles carry their H2 fuel in gaseous form, stored in tanks at pressures around 700 bar (10,150 […]
