ShareAgeing Gene Found
A longevity gene has been identified for the first time in a breakthrough that could eventually help people live longer, a new study suggests.
MOBVIS
The main objective of the MOBVIS project is to explore and exploit the concept of attentive interfaces for the design and implementation of mobile vision technology in urban scenarios.
Project Natal Puts You In Control
Introducing Project Natal, a revolutionary new way to play: no controller required. See a ball? Kick it, hit it, trap it or catch it. If you know how to move your hands, shake your hips or speak you and your friends can jump into the fun — the only experience needed is life experience.
Innerscope Research Measures Emotional Engagement
Founded in January 2006, Innerscope Research is a revolutionary media research firm that uses recent advances in biomeasures and software analysis to measure an audiences’ emotional engagement to any form of media.
Silicone Implants Become Energy
Princeton University engineers have turned silicone rubber sheets into piezoelectric materials that create electricity when flexed, which opens up a whole range of possible applications worn outside the body or implanted in strategic locations.
Accelergy Turns Coal into Clean Liquid Fuel
Accelergy uses advanced catalysts and state-of-the-art process technologies to transform coal into ultra-clean liquid fuels for the motor vehicles and jet airliners we rely on every day. Best of all, our highly efficient integrated Coal-to-Liquids (CTL) process emits fewer greenhouse gasses than any comparable industry process, and creates fuels fit for our existing transportation infrastructure.
Crescent Lake
6km south of the center of Dunhuang at the Singing Sand Mountains, the Crescent Lake is an oasis Gobi desert, which is surrounded the numerous sand dunes. The dunes reach a relative height of 250 meters (820 feet). The climb to the top is rewarded with the dramatic view back across the rolling desert sands towards the oasis.
Siftables
Siftables are sets of cookie-sized computers with motion sensing, neighbor detection, graphical display, and wireless communication. Siftables act in concert to form a single interface: users physically manipulate them—piling, grouping, sorting—to interact with digital information and media. Siftables provide a new platform on which to implement tangible games.
Contour Crafting
Contour Crafting technology has great potential for automating the construction of whole structures as well as sub-components. Using this process, a single house or a colony of houses, each with possibly a different design, may be automatically constructed in a single run, embedded in each house all the conduits for electrical, plumbing and air-conditioning.
Airnergy Charger Harvests Electricity From WiFi Signals
The Airnergy has a battery inside it, so you can just carry it around and as long as you’re near some WiFi, it charges itself. Unlike a solar charger, it works at night and you can keep it in your pocket.
