Submarines and aircraft can’t talk to one another, but that may one day be routine if a new MIT technology pans out. The Translational Acoustic-RF (TARF) communication system uses a combination of acoustics and radar to allow messages transmitted underwater to be directly received in the air without the need for any sort of physical link. The technology holds the […]

Lume Traveller’s Open Rooftop
Just when you thought campers couldn’t offer any more incredible features, along comes Lume Traveler, an inconspicuous aluminum trailer with a simple 6-foot-long retractable roof that lets you gaze at the sky while lying in bed. It’s the icing on the cake for a camper that already offers many modern amenities, including an outdoor kitchen and solar panels. Imagine lying […]
Sales Of Dry Cider Increasing
If you’ve ever had cider in the United States, you’ve almost inevitably ended up with something fizzy and sweet. The modern American cider market is extremely small (just one percent the size of the beer market, according to Angry Orchard, the country’s largest cider brand) and has long been positioned as an alternative to a cold brew. The reasons are literally in your […]
Disneyland’s $15000 Dining Experience
The most stirring part of our experience at 21 Royal didn’t involve golden osetra caviar and Alaskan king crab, or A5 Kobe pastrami, or Santa Barbara spot prawns, or beautiful wine pairings. All of that was excellent and totally in the stratosphere of the country’s finest tasting menus, including those we’ve had at some three-Michelin-starred restaurants. But what we’ll remember […]
World’s First VR Augmented Waterslide
Let’s face it: We live in a pretty jaded society. In such a “been there, seen that” environment, the promise of a regular ole’ waterpark wouldn’t be enough to prompt even an eye-roll emoji in response from many people. Thank goodness, then, for an amusement park in Germany whose new, world-first waterslide adds in a dose of scintillating virtual reality in […]

Turning Coffee Grounds Into Coffee Cups
A PhD student at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia, has come up with a way to turn waste coffee into biodegradable coffee cups. It hinges on a process which converts mannose, the prevalent sugar in the grounds, into lactic acid which can in turn be used to make biodegradable plastics. That student is one Dominik Kopp, who apparently snapped up […]

Millennial Don’t Always Know How To Use Their Credit Cards
As Bart Simpson perfectly demonstrated, children should not be allowed anywhere near credit cards. This might sound stupid, of course children should not be allowed credit cards, they don’t have a full grasp of how finances work and are more than likely going to treat credit as free money. Well according to new statistics, perhaps some millennials shouldn’t be allowed them […]
System Creates Computer Generated Sound For Computer Animated Projec
Although movie and game producers can now create computer-animated images of just about anything, the sounds made by those onscreen items still typically consist of recordings of real-world objects. That may not be the case for much longer, however, thanks to a computer system developed at Stanford University. There are a few drawbacks to using actual physical objects for creating […]
