Resulting in reduced or limited vision, Nystagmus affects nearly one in 400 people, and is euphemistically referred to as “dancing eyes”. A new procedure to treat the condition has been developed involving implanting magnets behind a person’s eyes to stabilize the uncontrollable eye movements.

​After years of development, German conglomerate ThyssenKrupp has successfully demonstrated its new cable-free, Willy Wonka-style elevator concept, moving multiple cars vertically and horizontally in a single shaft using a magnet-based drive system similar to that in Maglev trains.

​It was back in 2009 that we first heard about the Copenhagen Wheel, a motor-equipped rear bicycle wheel that could turn an existing bicycle into an e-bike. The years since saw some delays, but as of this April it finally became commercially available. We recently tried the wheel out for ourselves.

China may be the world's biggest polluter, but the country is certainly taking commendable steps towards a cleaner energy future. The latest example is a trial conducted in the country's northwest, which saw the Qinghai Province run on 100 percent renewable energy for seven days straight.

A professor at MIT has completed an 18-year-long origami quest to develop a universal algorithm that could generate the paper-folding patterns required to produce any 3D structure with the smallest number of seams possible.

Chris Riebschlager and his team were recently asked to come up with something special for a two day music festival earlier this month in Kansas City called Boulevardia. The designers came up with a 12-foot high, 500 lb installation shaped like an electric guitar that visitors could actually play.

DJI has played a huge role in delivering drones to the mass market, but there was one noticeable hole in the range. With a sub-US$500 price and an amateur friendly feature set, the Spark is aimed directly at competitors from its rivals. How does it stack up compared to the Yuneec Breeze?

Looking for a way to offer smart TV functionality without having to buy into a closed system, InnSpire has developed an Android-powered set-top box that's crammed into an Ethernet cable, which means that hotels can turn standard room TVs into smart TVs just by plugging them into the wall socket.

Nintendo has announced a follow-up to the Classic Mini NES. The Super NES Classic Edition, which recreates the 16-bit console of the early 1990s as a small HDMI-compatible box preloaded with 21 games, including a long-lost sequel that never saw the light of day.

Laser weapons have been tested on ships, planes, and even armored vehicles, but Raytheon has pushed the envelope further again by successfully testing a high-energy laser mounted on an Apache AH-64 attack helicopter and locking onto and hitting an unmanned target.

​The buildup of dust and grime on solar panels do their efficiencies no good, indeed we've seen some creative maintenance solutions such as using autonomous drones to brush them off. But what role does manmade pollution play in this, including the particles that hang in the air?

Phat Scooters may look similar to the Scrooser from 2013, but they give the rider's legs a rest by offering a twist grip to kick in the hub motor. This means that the Phatty user can sit or stand and zip along without breaking a sweat. The Phat models are cheaper, too.​
