In the past decade, LEDs have become increasingly
popular for use on cars, mainly for use as turn signals, brake and park
lights, and daytime running lamps, but more recently, also for use in headlights.
Now BMW has revealed it is taking the next step in the development of
vehicle headlight technology by working on the introduction of laser
light headlights. The company says that laser light not only offers
energy - and therefore fuel - savings, but could also enable entirely
new design possibilities and light functions on vehicles to improve
safety. It aims to have the technology ready for series production
"within a few years." Read More
FiLMiC Pro app gives iPhone camcorder-like capabilities
By Ben Coxworth
September 7, 2011
So, you’ve put a DSLR lens on your iPhone’s camera, added directional stereo mics, and mounted the whole shebang on a miniature camera dolly
... what more could you do to turn your iPhone into a little movie
camera? Well, you could gain some manual control over the way in which
it captures video – after all, serious film-makers usually don’t just
leave everything set on auto. That’s where the FiLMiC Pro app comes in.

Acer has announced its next Ferrari-branded
product in the form of the liquidmini Ferrari Edition smartphone, which
features a 3.2-inch screen and runs Android 2.3. The new arrival will
expand Acer's lineup of products featuring the Ferrari logo, including
laptops, LCD monitors and last year's Liquid E Ferrari Edition Android-based smartphone. Read More
New NASA pics show Apollo astronauts' footpaths on the moon
By Ben Coxworth
September 7, 2011
True story: when I was a little kid and was at an
observatory looking at the Moon through a telescope, I loudly
proclaimed "I think I can see one of the moon buggies!" Everyone
laughed, and I felt stupid. Well, several decades later, I've been
somewhat vindicated. Although it's not an earthbound telescope, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) did
recently capture images of the Apollo 12, 14 and 17 landing sites. The
Apollo 17 lunar rover is indeed visible, as are the descent stages of
the three spacecraft, and foot paths made by the astronauts. Read More
Coral may be a vital ingredient in sunscreen pill
September 7, 2011
Researchers from King's College London have
recently discovered a natural compound produced by coral that could be
suitable for use in a new type of sunscreen for humans, and it may even
come in a pill! As coral is generally found in shallow waters, it
therefore naturally produces a type of "sunscreen" to protect itself
from the sun's UV rays. It is this natural sunscreen that scientists
hope to synthetically re-create for human use. Read More
Motorola Droid Bionic arrives on Verizon tomorrow
By Ben Coxworth
September 7, 2011
First unveiled
this January at CES, Motorola’s flagship Droid Bionic smartphone will
finally be available to consumers as of tomorrow. Featuring a dual-core 1
GHz processor, 1 GB of RAM and a 4.3-inch qHD display, the Android
phone utilizes Verizon's new LTE 4G network, which is claimed to be the
fastest in the U.S. Its other specs aren’t too shabby, either. Read More
"Culturomics" is an emerging field of study into
human culture that relies on the collection and analysis of large
amounts of data. A previous culturomic research effort
used Google's culturomic tool to examine a dataset made up of the text
of about 5.2 million books to quantify cultural trends across seven
languages and three centuries. Now a new research project has used a
supercomputer to examine a dataset made up of a quarter-century of
worldwide news coverage to forecast and visualize human behavior. Using
the tone and location of news coverage, the research was able to
retroactively predict the recent Arab Spring and successfully estimate
the final location of Osama Bin Laden to within 200 km (124 miles). Read More
The famous and well documented Hindenburg
disaster of 1937, when the hydrogen-filled airship burst into flames
whilst attempting to tether to its moorings in New Jersey, killed off
the 'lighter-than-air' aircraft industry, as well as 35 unfortunate
souls. Since the 1970's however, a determined band of, mostly British,
aviation engineers has been battling to design and build a commercially
viable 'air vehicle'. Many false starts, experimental craft and research
projects followed (funded mostly by the U.S. military) but viability
remained elusive, until now. Read More
Perhaps you were one of the first people to buy a
standard red laser pointer when they first came out. Then, you jumped
on the bandwagon when the more powerful green laser pointers showed up.
Now, you’re just willing to admit it: you want the most powerful
handheld laser that it is legally possible to own. Well, according to
the folks at Wicked Lasers, that would be their Spyder 3 Krypton. Just
how powerful is it? Let’s put it this way, the website warns users not
to point it at aircraft or satellites. Read More
Ah, the ant farm. It's somehow nice to know that
in the age of apps and iPods, kids still like to watch colonies of ants
fastidiously going about their daily business. The humble ant farm
hasn't remained unchanged by technology, however. For some time now,
instead of dirt or sand, commercially-available kits have instead come
with a clear green gel. The ants are not only able to tunnel through
this goop, but it also serves as their source of food and water.
Educational toy company Uncle Milton is now taking the concept a step
farther, with its Ant Farm Revolution. It's a cylindrical gel ant farm,
with a built-in LED lamp that casts giant silhouettes of its ants on the
user's ceiling ... or presumably onto the outside wall of a neighbor's
house. Read More
The microwave technology used in applications
such as mobile phones and wireless networks may be on its way to being
replaced - with parts that are smaller, less expensive, and that consume
less resources. Instead of microwaves, devices of the future may use
spin waves, which are nanoscale magnetic waves. For almost ten years, it
has been theorized that spin waves could be propagated using magnetic
nanocontacts. Recently, scientists from the University of Gothenburg and
the Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, became the first people to
demonstrate that the theory meshes with observable phenomena. Read More
Seagate and Hitachi GST unveil 4TB external hard drives
By Darren Quick
September 8, 2011
On Wednesday, Seagate announced it was shipping
the world’s first 4TB external hard drive in the form of the 4TB GoFlex
Desk Drive, which offers a high speed USB 3.0 interface. Obviously
looking to steal a bit of Seagate’s thunder – or should that be
Thunderbolt – the very next day Hitachi Global Storage Technologies
(GST) demoed its own 4TB external hard drives at IBC 2011 in Amsterdam
in a two-drive, 8TB, RAID 0, G-RAID unit with Thunderbolt, FireWire 800
and USB 2.0 ports. Read More
While there are many options to cool a gaming
desktop PC, mobile gamers might find it a little more difficult to
implement additional fans to chill their gaming laptop monsters.
Thermaltake has unveiled plans to expand its laptop cooling stand lineup
by releasing the Massive 23 GT Cooler - a lightweight metal stand that
packs an LED-illuminated 200mm fan and, unlike previous offerings, five
different angles adjustment. Read More
Nike is actually making the MAG shoes from Back To The Future II
By Ben Coxworth
September 8, 2011
Well, you may have heard rumblings about hints
made at a mysterious press event that just took place in Los Angeles,
but now it's official: Nike will be auctioning off 1,500 pairs of NIKE
MAG high-top sneakers, just like the ones worn in the year 2015 by
Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future II. While it isn't clear
if the shoes automatically fit themselves to the wearer's feet (as Marty
McFly's did), they are at the very least exact visual replicas of the
kicks from the movie. Read More
Simplified ContourROAM actioncam goes underwater and costs less
By Ben Coxworth
September 8, 2011
Amongst the various actioncam brands currently in existence, Contour
is certainly one of the better-known. Today, the company introduced a
new addition to its family, the ContourROAM. Like its predecessors the
Contour+ and ContourGPS,
it has a rugged cylindrical aluminum body, and a swiveling lens that
users aim via two laser beams on either side. Unlike those cameras,
however, it can be taken in the water, and goes from being powered off
to recording with the push of one button. Read More
Gas/electric hybrid vehicles tend to be pricier
than their conventional counterparts, and many people still worry about
the limited range of all-electrics. If you want to move away from purely
petrol-powered vehicles, though, is there any alternative? The
four-company Flybus consortium would definitely say there is. It
recently rigged up a bus with a prototype flywheel-based energy recover
system, that stores the energy that would be wasted when the vehicle
brakes, then returns that energy to the drivetrain when the bus
accelerates. The researchers claim that it could deliver hybrid-like
fuel economy, at a fraction of the price. Read More
Polaroid SX-70 cameras from the 1970s make a comeback
By Pawel Piejko
September 8, 2011
Photojojo is known for offering unusual cameras for enthusiasts such as the Holga Twin Image Maker and NeinGrenze 5000T
dedicated tilt-shift camera. The online store has released yet another
treat for fans - the legendary Polaroid SX-70 camera that was originally
manufactured in the years 1972-1977. The cameras being offered have all
been restored to working condition and integral instant film is also
available. Read More
Earlier this year, Stanford University researchers created a full-duplex radio
that allowed wireless signals to be sent and received simultaneously,
thereby doubling the speed of existing networks. Using the same
approach, researchers at Rice University have now developed similar
full-duplex technology that would effectively double the throughput on
mobile networks without the addition of any extra towers. Read More
Booktrack adds sound effects and music soundtracks to eBooks
By Darren Quick
September 7, 2011
There’s no doubt that a soundtrack can
significantly enhance the immersiveness and emotional impact of films
and TV programs. But can some audio accompaniment do the same thing for
books? New York City-based startup Booktrack thinks so and has released
an iOS app – with an Android app also on the way - that adds soundtracks
to eBooks. As the user reads they can listen to ambient background
noise relevant to the book’s current setting, specific sound effects
synchronized to the text as it is read, and music. But does a soundtrack
“boost the reader’s imagination and engagement” as the company states,
or does it just create another distraction to be overcome when delving
into a book on the bus on the way home? I decided to download the app
and find out. Read More
Audi releases pics and more specs on A2 concept
By Ben Coxworth
September 7, 2011
This Monday, we presented some background information
on Audi's all-electric A2 concept car, along with some sketches. Since
then, however, the German automaker has released additional details
about the vehicle, along with some more lifelike renderings - it seems
that the actual, physical car won't be revealed until its appearance at
the International Motor Show in Frankfurt next week. Among the new
things we've learned about the A2: its body is made partly from carbon
fiber-reinforced polymer; it features braking, shifting and steering by
wire; and it can operate semi-autonomously in slow-moving traffic. Read More
Eterniti Hemera Super-SUV promises limousine luxury and 620 bhp
By Mike Hanlon
September 10, 2011
The birth of a new British car company named
Eterniti Motors has been on the horizon for some time, but it'd be fair
to say that the world's motoring press hasn't taken a lot of notice
until now - the first images of the new Eterniti Hemera "Super-SUV"
prototype have surfaced along with the news that it will produce a
remarkable 620 bhp and have a top speed of over 180 mph. When production
begins in 2012, Eterniti aims to become a boutique luxury carmaker and
the new Hemera has as much emphasis on a "limousine-like" rear cabin,
with twin reclining rear seats, iPads and a drinks chiller, as it does
on its dynamic 4x4 driving experience. Does it look familiar? Read More
After its planned launch this morning was
canceled due to upper wind levels, a Delta II rocket carrying NASA’s
Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) has been rescheduled to
tomorrow morning. The GRAIL mission will incorporate two unmanned
spacecraft - GRAIL-A and GRAIL-B - which will fly in formation over the
Moon’s surface, measuring variations in its gravity. Using this data,
scientists hope to learn more about the Moon’s thermal history, and how
other rocky planets within the inner solar system developed. Read More
Once when I was visiting Montreal, I went into a
restaurant and discovered that the menu was entirely in French. Not
wanting to admit that I couldn’t read the language, I was instead forced
to order the only two things I recognized the names of: Caesar salad
and calamari. Had smartphones been around at the time, I definitely
could have used Purdue University’s new food translator app. It not only
translates the names of foreign-language dishes, but it also tells you
what they are and what’s in them. Read More
Thermal spa features 20 foot-high evaporation walls
September 9, 2011
The town of Bad Essen in Northern Germany has
long been the home of salt works facilities, where in the early 1900's
it was discovered that the salt in the surrounding air proved to be a
natural remedy for many respiratory illnesses. Located in the town is
Solepark, a health resort devoted entirely to the contemplation of the
five senses. One of the highlights of the resort is its unique Sole
Arena. Read More
Sapphire fibers carry 40 times more electricity than copper wire
By Ben Coxworth
September 9, 2011
One of the limitations of traditional copper
electrical wiring is the fact that the metal’s resistance causes the
wire to heat up, and some of the energy being carried through the wire
is lost in the form of that heat. Wires made from superconducting
materials, however, would have no resistance, so could transfer much
more energy. While previous attempts at the technology have proven too
fragile or expensive, researchers from Tel Aviv University have now
developed a new type of cost-effective superconductive wire, that they
claim can carry 40 times more electricity than copper wiring of the same
size. Read More
MSI rolls out G-series laptops with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570M on board
By Pawel Piejko
September 9, 2011
This June, NVIDIA introduced its new GPUs for portable gaming laptops, the GeForce GTX 580M and GTX 570M.
MSI is one of the first notebook manufacturers to implement the second
of these powerful GPUs in its recently launched G-series laptops - the
17.3-inch MSI GT780DXR and the 15.6-inch MSI GT683DXR. Read More
Set thirty meters (100 feet) underground, deep
within the bedrock and in what was once used as a Swedish atomic bomb
shelter, lies this high security internet center. What sounds like the
perfect hideout for a CIA facility or a film set for the next Jason
Bourne film, is actually the HQ for the Swedish internet server
provider, Bahnhof. Named "Pionen, White Mountain," the internet service
facility is centrally located in Stockholm, directly below the Sofia
Church, where the cave-like formation houses server halls and offices.

Not so long ago, leaving a message for other
members of the household would often involve sticking a note on the
fridge and hoping they saw it. Now that just about everybody has a
mobile phone, hastily scribbled notes have given way to hastily thumbed
text messages or a quick voice, or even video call. Native Union is
looking to somehow combine the almost lost art of not-so-instant
messaging with the more modern video call with its Play video memo pad.

Electrolux Design Lab 2011 winners announced
By Darren Quick
September 8, 2011
The votes have been tallied in the Electrolux
Design Lab 2011 and coming out on top in a field of over 1,300 entries
received from over 50 countries is Slovakian design student Adrian
Mankovecký for his Portable Spot Cleaner. Comprising two components that
are separated and placed on either side of a garment, the pint-sized
washing machine would be powered by a sugar crystal battery and use
negative ions and steam to clean stains. Mankovecký will receive a prize
of 5,000 euro (approx. US$7,025) and a six-month paid internship at an
Electrolux global design center. Read More
It's clear from the styling of the XF and XJ
saloons that design chief Ian Callum has been developing and evolving a
new design vocabulary for Jaguar that, while it may make an occasional
nod to the marque's enviable heritage, looks decisively towards the
future. Whilst the two saloons have been well received in terms of
value, technology and comfort, there's been a nagging doubt about the
coherence of their design. They are not "good-looking" cars. In addition
the whole range, including the bonkers-fast and sporty XK,
is still seen as older person's transportation. Well, no more. This
week Jaguar has delivered a stunning and beautiful "pure" sports car
concept that aims to give the mighty Porsche 911 a run for its money.

By Mike Hanlon
September 12, 2011
Quimera will show its long-awaited AEGT (All
Electric GT) prototype at the Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA) this week. The
AEGT runs three UQM electric motors developing a total 700 bhp and
delivering a top speed currently limited to 300 km/h. The AEGT's
lightweight carbon fiber monocoque chassis enables a kerb weight of just
1500 kg despite carrying more than 600 kg of lithium-polymer EIG
batteries. Read More
Techart's 720 PS GTStreet RS is based on Porsche 911 GT2 RS
By Mike Hanlon
September 12, 2011
German TECHART has been remanufacturing Porsches
for a quarter century, priding itself on always producing something
special for the Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA) every second year. This year
it has produced the most powerful Porsche ever to leave its Leonberg
“manufactory”: the GTStreet RS is based on the Porsche 911 GT2 RS
and delivers 530 kW (720 PS) and 900 Nm torque. From a standing start,
the GTStreet RS hits 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.3 seconds, 124 mph (200
km/h) in 9.5 seconds and has a maximum speed of 218 mph (352 km/h). Read More
It seems tablets are not just a hit with

Reliable communications are almost as critical to
the modern soldier as their weapons and ammunition. Conventional
whip-antennas are not only cumbersome and conspicuous, but they don't
always provide a reliable link between a soldier laying on the ground
and one standing up. Meanwhile, the short antenna of a portable radio
can mean the signal is masked by the user's body. To provide more
reliable, continuous 360-degree radio coverage, BAE Systems has
developed a series of Body Wearable Antennas (BWAs) that, like the experimental antenna system recently developed at Ohio State University, sees the antennas weaved into the fibers of a uniform. Read More
In April 2010, Steve Jobs’ outlined why Flash
would not be permitted on iOS devices in his “Thoughts on Flash” open
letter. While Jobs made some valid points in terms of Flash’s
proprietary nature, security concerns, and the fact it drains the
batteries of mobile devices, the popularity of the Skyfire 2.0 mobile web browser and standalone VideoQ Flash video player
showed that there were still plenty of iOS users keen to Flash video on
their mobile devices. Now Adobe has finally come to the party with its
own solution that will allow Flash video content to be viewed directly
within Safari on iOS devices. Because Adobe will use a similar technique
to that of Skyfire, users of Android and Playbook mobile devices will
also benefit in terms of battery life. Read More
Chocolate lovers are unlikely ever to need
encouragement to indulge, but just in case, here's some good news:
researchers have found that higher levels of chocolate consumption have

for stroke. Read More
Experimental navigation system guides cyclists using music
By Paul Ridden
September 11, 2011
Having a calming voice like that of John Cleese
or Ozzy Osbourne shout out directions to supplement the visuals on your
GPS navigation device is an effective way to make sure that you don't
miss your turn. Relying on visual navigation is a big distraction for
cyclists too, dangerously diverting focus away from the road ahead. To
help overcome such issues, a research team in the Netherlands has
reported promising results from an audio-only navigation system that
uses an Android smartphone connected to a pair of headphones to help
guide users to a target location with music that's artificially shifted
to the left or right to indicate direction. Read More
The Frankfurt Motor Show opens this week and a
number of new brands will be seen for the first time, including a
Croatian company Rimac Automobili, which will show a pure electric
sportscar named the Concept One with an aluminum frame, carbon fiber
bodywork, and an all-up weight of just 1650 kg. Inside that lightweight
construct lurks a massive 92 kWh battery capacity good for a 366 mile
range. It's the performance of the car which has the buzz percolating
though, as it has a claimed 1088 bhp, prodigious torque of 3800 Nm and
an electronically-limited top speed of 305 km/h. Perhaps the most
remarkable claim is the acceleration though, which has the 0-100 km/h
time pegged at 2.8 seconds, making it one of the fastest accelerating
road cars anywhere. Read More
Maserati 450 bhp SUV to be based on Jeep Grand Cherokee
By Mike Hanlon
September 11, 2011
Two years ago, the U.S. Treasury helped to broker
an arranged marriage between the Daimler-jilted Chrysler and an
unlikely Italian suitor in the form of the Fiat Group of companies. Even
before consummation it was clear that we would see all manner of
cross-brand rebadging amongst the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Fiat, Abarth,
Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Ferrari branches of the new extended
family, and so it has come to pass. It's been known for some time that
Fiat's highly-successful commercial range will be sold in the United
States under the Dodge brand and now comes the news that Maserati will
announce an SUV at the Frankfurt Motor Show that is based on the Jeep
Grand Cherokee. Read More
Dutch company LEDSSPORTS looks set to solve one
the major problems associated with the plethora of sports played on
multi-purpose courts – LED court markings that can be turned on and off
depending on the sport being played. Instead of the myriad lines on
multisport surfaces which often confuse players, LEDSSPORT's Pulastic ®
LED Court illuminates just one set of markings at a time, while the
others stay “invisible”. The company also makes a range of other LED
sports-related innovations, including a set of lights which function as a
basketball shot clock. Read More
In an article last month, I assumed that news of the PS Vita
not hitting shelves until 2012 would have left Nintendo executives
feeling as if they'd dodged a bullet - I was clearly mistaken. On August
12, Nintendo dropped the price of the 3DS to US$170, leading to a 260% jump in sales.
A month later, just when you thought it was safe to buy a 3DS, Nintendo
officially introduces the 3DS Slide Pad - which adds a second analog
joystick to the 3DS. Read More
Now here's something completely different from Husqvarna. The single-track commuter concept that the company hinted at two weeks ago
has now taken shape as the Concept E-go - an extremely lightweight

suitable for urban commuting. Read More
Toyota is continuing to make its mark at the
Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit. Just over a week after its Toyota
Motorsport GmbH division claimed the lap record for an electric vehicle
at the circuit in the TMG EV PV001,
its Lexus luxury vehicle division is claiming the even more illustrious
lap record for a production car. The record run came in a Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition
driven by Japanese LFA race and test driver Akira Iida, who clocked a
time of 7 minutes 14.64 seconds on the 22 km (13.7 mile) circuit to
eclipse the previous record time of 7 minutes 18.1 seconds set in a Porsche 911 GT2 RS in April 2010. Read More
Sixteen super-Earths among fifty new exoplanets discovered by HARPS
By Darren Quick
September 12, 2011
The European Southern Observatory (ESO) has
announced its exoplanet-hunting HARPS (High Accuracy Radial velocity
Planet Searcher) has discovered 50 new exoplanets, making it the largest
amount of exoplanets that has been announced at the one time. Bringing
the number of planets discovered outside our solar system to 645, the
50-planet haul includes 16 super-Earths (planets with a mass between one
and ten times that of Earth), including one that orbits at the edge of
the habitable zone of its star. Read More
There's a torrent of automotive news flowing from
this week's Frankfurt Motor Show and next on the rank is the
Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo Stradale - the most extreme
V10 yet produced by Volkswagen's Italian supercar subsidiary. Only 150
of the four wheel drive 570 bhp carbon fiber projectiles, no doubt due
to the extreme effort required to shave another 70 kilograms off the
already anorexic Gallardo LP 560-4. The motor might be the same as a
“normal” Gallardo but the aerodynamics and lightweight construction are
what make it a genuine racer for the road. Read More
BMW Concept e electro-scooter looks the real deal
By Mike Hanlon
September 12, 2011
BMW looks set to become the first of the
recognized motorcycle brands to begin leveraging the unique advantages
of the motorcycle in addressing the quickly changing landscape of urban
mobility. The Flying Propeller brand is to create a specialist "Urban
Mobility" group, launch two premium, high-performance twin-cylinder maxi
scooters before the end of the year, and will unveil a concept
electro-scooter later today. Using the large volume of enclosed body
space of a maxi scooter to contain all the necessaries, the 60 volt
Concept e has a 100 kilometer range, recharges from flat inside three
hours at a domestic power point, and the performance of a maxi scooter
(expected to be equivalent to a 400-500cc commuter motorcycle). The
Concept e will be the first volume production two-wheeler without rear
vision mirrors – twin rear-facing video cameras relay what's happening
behind the vehicle to two LCD monitors in the cockpit. Very exciting!

successfully tested on the road and on the water and Sealander is now
reportedly being prepared for production. Read More
Aside from moving around large backup files in a
spritely fashion, one of the areas most likely to benefit from the new Thunderbolt
interface is video editing. Which is why it's not all that surprising
to see that one of the first Thunderbolt-equipped peripherals to appear
following a number of external HDDs
that have started to trickle onto the market is the EUR209 Intensity
Extreme video capture and playback device. The unit from Blackmagic
Design offers 10-bit HDMI and analog video editing in SD and HD, with
its 10 Gb/s Thunderbolt port providing data transfer speeds up to 20
times faster than USB 2.0 and up to 11.5 times faster than FireWire 800.
