I woke up to a bright Monday morning and am fresh enough to not daydream like a ‘smart’ kid but write facts about something that is called the Manned Cloud. . Bagging the award by the Design Observer 2008, the Manned Cloud is actually a flying hotel that will enable its commuters to indulge [...]

We’ve heard plenty of these initiatives before, but with the likes of Microsoft pushing the tech, it might not be too long before we’re all pushing a super-connected shopping cart down the aisle.

It’s easy to track the tidal movements of the ocean by looking at waves, but all of that energy is moved around under the surface of the water as well. Florida Atlantic University’s Center of Excellence in Ocean Energy Technology hopes to harness these underwater currents by placing 100-foot-in-diameter 20 kilowatt turbines that are anchored [...]

For anything light enough like leaves or insects such as a water strider, a body of water’s surface tension gives the uppermost areas of the liquid a bit of elasticity. In effect, it becomes a virtual solid that can be rested upon and even moved across. The CMU Water Strider by NanoRobotics Laboratory relies on [...]

In an ambitious scheme than even industry proponents seem skeptical of, Britain has unveiled plans to power every home in the country via off-shore wind farms by the year 2020.

There are two projects on hand that are vying for a world record of sorts. On one hand you have the Burj Dubai, which is supposed to be over 800 meters; the actual height has not been disclosed and as they are in mid-construction, they may add on a bit to up the ante. [...]

Want to tout just how precise your ‘bot is? Make it do things your average flesh-and-bones body struggles with, like playing a violin. A robot by Toyota that looks a lot like the company’s TPR-Robina did just that at a press conference in Japan, rolling out a rendition of “Pomp and Circumstance” without the assistance [...]
