NYU student Joe Landolina who’s studying for a bachelor’s in bio-molecular chemical engineering and a masters in biomedical engineering, created Veti-Gel. It basically recreates the naturally occurring polymers in the body that clot blood on contact. Continue reading for the video – if you’re squeamish over blood, we recommend skipping it.
Let’s face it, most on-screen keyboards are horrible, especially since they take up a large portion of the screen. Introducing Minuum, a keyboard that “eliminates the visual clutter of archaic mobile keyboards by adapting the keyboard to a single dimension.” Continue reading for a video and more information.

Here’s something you don’t hear about everyday: Lean Burn Technology that offers a revolutionary approach on fuel use efficiency with vapor-only combustion. Benefits include increased mileage, increased horsepower, and reduced emissions for cleaner air. Continue reading for a video and more information.
Here’s another fascinating look at Bioconcrete, a self-healing concrete that uses bacteria to fix itself. According to researcher Henk Jonkers, “the incoming water activates the bacterial spores, causing them to convert the feed into limestone, which seals the crack.” Continue reading for a TED video and more information.
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have developed the world’s first self-healing integrated chips. They demonstrated this self-healing capability in tiny power amplifiers. The amplifiers are so small that 76 of the chips – including everything they need to self-heal – could fit on a single penny. Continue reading to see how the process works.
Unlike standard quadrotor drones, this one, developed by researchers at University of Pennsylvania, boasts an eagle-like claw that enables it to pick up objects at high speed. That’s not all, the team is hoping that the next version will be able to automatically adapt to environmental changes via an on-board camera. Continue reading for more.
With the budget-priced technology available these days, it’s not too hard to create an extravagant home theater without breaking the bank, but these five examples go above and beyond. Let’s just say that some of these home theaters cost more than many small houses. Continue reading for more.
