MIT has recently developed an innovative 3D glasses-free movie watching experience for cinema viewers. Though this isn’t the first time a glasses-free 3D TV has been created, MIT’s new Cinema 3D is the first design made for large screen use, allowing the 3D effect to work for any seat in the theatre. 3D films have […]
For blimps and other airships to properly operate and stay airborne, materials must be very thin and light in order to expand without weighing down the ships down. Due to the fragility of the material, holes will often form during transportation, sometimes large and easy to spot, but usually very small and difficult to locate. […]
With approximately two million transports currently operating in the United States alone, trucks account for a large percent of the carbon pollution being produced by vehicles each year. To cut down on the immense amount of truck emissions being produced, Mercedes-Benz has created the Urban eTruck, an all-electric truck able to carry up to 29 […]
Medrobotics has recently created a snake-like surgical robot called the Flex Robotic System in order to streamline operating procedures in complex head and neck surgeries. The device completes major surgeries in hard to reach areas without creating any incisions by entering through the patient’s mouth to reach the target area. So far the Flex has […]
