Dyson

The James Dyson Award is an international competition to encourage students to get creative to solve the world's pressing problems. The national finalists have been announced for 2021, showcasing ideas that help people and the environment.

Dyson has wheeled out its latest and greatest cordless vacuum, and in addition to excellent suction power it carries some typically forward-thinking bells and whistles, spearheaded by a laser to light up dusty surfaces.

So far, Dyson hasn't made any headphones, but a recently-published patent shows that its engineers are certainly thinking about it. And these cans are designed to provide the wearer with a steady supply of filtered air.

Never one to approach the design of regular household items without plenty of pizzazz, Dyson has introduced a new lamp called the Lightcycle Morph with the ability to assume a range of positions and give off different kinds of light.

Dyson has recently started to cast its eye beyond spotless living rooms and hospital-grade kitchen floors. Its latest creation puts its expertise in sucking and blowing air around to use in a high-powered hair styling machine that can apparently be used to create all kinds of 'dos.

​Dyson is doubling down on its plans for an electric vehicle, with a £200-million (US$260-million) redevelopment of a World War 2 hangar for use as a technology facility in the UK.

Dyson says its Cyclone V10 cordless vacuum cleaner is so good that it's no longer producing machines that need to be plugged into the wall. So is it really time to toss out your conventional vacuum cleaner?

Perhaps best known for its vacuum cleaners, Dyson says its new Cyclone V10 really, really sucks. In a good way. So much so that the company will no longer be developing full-sized vacuum cleaners.​

Dyson digital motors, vacuum cleaners, air purifiers and bladeless fans have been stripped down, mashed up and merged with other instruments to produce notes and harmonies that will accompany the Orion Orchestra for a premier performance at London's Cadogan Hall this weekend.

A new device called the sKan has won the 2017 international James Dyson Award. The sKan makes heat maps of the skin to identify anomalies associated with melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, to enable earlier detection.

James Dyson, the British inventor and businessman behind Dyson, has announced the company famous for vacuums and hand dryers plans to develop a battery-electric vehicle. In a letter to employees, Dyson said the company would have the vehicle ready by 2020.
