In it's simplest form, cradle-to-cradle design sees products created with the recognition that, at the end of their life, they can be disassembled and their constituent parts reused to create other products. The non-profit Cradle to Cradle Products Institute has recognized six such products.

A new graphene-based sensor has been developed that can quickly and easily detect DNA mutations associated with a range of cancers and other life-threatening illnesses. It is envisaged that the sensor will eventually be implantable, and communicate data wirelessly to mobile devices in real-time.

With a claimed service height quadruple that of the Martin jetpack, a new autonomous, personal VTOL helicopter concept, the Airvinci, is being developed first as a heavy drone, then as a fully-fledged, human-carrying aerial transport system.

The Bushwacker is a custom tiny house designed to serve as a luxury mobile hunting lodge. It features a steampunk-like exterior and several hunting-related additions, including a scent control system and a game processing station.
