Chinese UAV firm EHang Egret has broken the Guinness World Record for most drones flown simultaneously in a 13-minute flight that involved 1,374 drones spread over a kilometer. The previous record was held by U.S. technology firm Intel, which flew 1,218 drones during the Winter Olympics...
Designed by the Israeli company Urban Aeronautics, the CityHawk is a flying taxi project with vertical take-off and landing. The cabin is 50% larger than a comparable helicopter and the absence of suspended engines and transmissions has eliminated almost all vibration and much of the noise....
Graphene is simply the thinnest possible layer of graphite, the stuff used to make pencils. When graphite is reduced to a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagon formation, it turns into a supermaterial unlike anything ever known before. While graphene’s existence was...
IN2 (Pronounced "into") is a project led by Marie Renault, Théo Grevet, Norman Cooper and Coraline Renault. Marie created a finalized prototype for her graduation project at the e-artsup school. The main audience of IN2 suffers from a problem of sight. This allows them to live...
A team at MIT’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science has designed a computer chip, called Navion, that’s 20 square millimeters but consumes only 24 milliwatts of power. The chip can process camera images at up to 171 frames per second and calculate inertial measurements in...
The PlasticRoad project of the Dutch company VolkerWessels is an intelligent way to transform non-biodegradable plastic waste. They are crushed and then compacted to create modular plates. Prefabricated in the factory, these plates are then assembled on site, as a construction game. These roads would have...
