Researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH Zurich) have created clear, flexible electronic circuitry that is so thin it can sit upon the surface of a contact lens, or be wrapped around a human hair.

DJI has released two new quadcopters – the GoPro/gimbal mount-ready Phantom 2, and the 720p video camera-equipped Phantom FC40.

Smart dust. Utility fog. Programmable matter. Grey and blue goo. Researchers at Georgia Tech have invented a plasmonic graphene nano-antenna that enables smart dust cooperation through communication at millimeter radio wavelengths, taking one more step toward smart dust swarms.

OpenBCI adds to its open-source EEG platform a 3D-printed EEG headset which is customizable, cheap, and modular. It's both a clever demonstration of the flexibility of 3D printing and evidence of OpenBCI's goals to create a community around computer-brain interfaces.

One Bluetooth speaker looking to float above the competition is NYNE's Aqua waterproof floating speaker. Introduced at this week's show in Las Vegas, the unit is IPX7-rated, meaning it can be immersed in water up to 3.2 ft (1 m) in depth for up to 30 minutes.

While we've seen transparent speakers before, they've usually consisted of regular opaque woofers and tweeters encased in a see-through body. ClearView Audio's Clio, however, is different. While its base is easy enough to see, the actual sound-emitting part is composed entirely of clear acrylic.

Bosch's new start-stop system shuts the engine off not only at stops, but also whenever the car is coasting. It could result in fuel savings of about 10 percent, and substantially reduce CO2 emissions.

Notch is a sensor that you can attach to your clothes at specific points on your body to capture your movement information. Paired with an app that connects to a smartphone via Bluetooth, the prototype tracks how you run, skate, box or more, for you to review and improve your performance.

Advanced Tactics of El Segundo, California is working to produce a roadable VTOL aircraft capable of unmanned autonomous operations as a more flexible way to recover casualties, move supplies, and support special forces.

One of the most popular television add-ons of the past decade, Roku, now has a TV of its own, thanks to Chinese television makers TCL and Hisense. I spent a little hands-on time with TCL's 55-inch set, which simply goes by the model number 55E4610R.
