Get ready to say goodbye to splashback with these new urinal designs. A team of researchers from the University of Waterloo created a new urinal shape based on fluid dynamics—how liquids move and touch surfaces. The main feature is a curved, stretched-out basin that looks kind of like a long, shallow scoop or a slim trough.
Scientists aboard the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s research vessel Falkor (too) captured the first confirmed video of a live colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) in its deep-sea environment. This marks a historic moment, as 2025 is the 100-year anniversary of the species’ discovery.
You’ve seen the video game-inspired bionic hand, now check out the Psyonic Ability Hand. It’s currently the only bionic hand on the market with multi-touch sensory feedback. Sensors in the fingertips (on the thumb, index, and pinky) detect pressure when gripping objects and send vibrations to the user’s residual limb.
This interesting project by Mitxela shows text on an oscilloscope by pretending it’s a sound. The plan is to take words, turn them into a sound wave, and then add audio effects to make cool, eye-catching shapes on the oscilloscope’s screen.
