Aside various breakthroughs in solar power harvesting efficiency, there were breakthroughs in production and design of solar panels. We reported new breakthroughs in medical and dental technology, and there have been many breakthroughs in the field of nanotechnology, as well as in the material sciences. Among other technology trends, there are efforts to create 3D… »

Modern automobiles have electronics to help us steer and drive safer while being capable to achieve higher speed. Nissan is collaborating with researchers from the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland (EPFL) in order to develop a system which could assist drivers in future by combining Brain Machine Interface (BMI) readings with data gathered… »

As we mentioned in our article about top 5 gadgets in 2010, last year was a lot about 3D display technology. Aside various breakthroughs in solar power harvesting efficiency, there were breakthroughs in production and design of solar panels. We reported how first synthetic life was created, and there have been many breakthroughs in the… »

Pranav Mistry, Liyan Chang, and Pattie Maes, from the Fluid Interfaces Group at the MIT Media Lab, were interested in removing the requirement for a physical mouse, while still allowing computer users to interact with their computers in a way with which they are familiar with. They developed an “invisible mouse” and named it Mouseless…. »

Technology deals with human as well as other animal species’ usage and knowledge of tools and crafts, and how it affects a species’ ability to control and adapt to its natural environment. Among other stories we covered, in last year we wrote various articles regarding energy harvesting and transfer, nanotechnologies, material, space, medical and construction… »
