Fires in high-rises can be particularly deadly. With that in mind, researchers have created the flying, wall-climbing, fire-resistant FAROS quadcopter. It's designed to ascertain the source of a fire as soon as possible, along with the locations of people trapped within the building.

Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have created a fiber-like LED that can be directly knitted or woven to form the fabric itself.The claim the technology will eventually allow the production of wearable displays to be as easy as making clothes.

Scientists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed an omnidirectional wireless charging technology that can charge multiple devices at once, at a distance and, crucially, at peak efficiency regardless of which way the devices are facing.

You've probably seen TV shows in which characters view data on large transparent touchscreen displays. Well, researchers at KAIST have taken that concept a step further. Their TransWall is not only transparent, but it can also display content on either side of its screen.

A group of researchers has developed a cardiac pacemaker that is powered semi-permanently by a flexible piezoelectric nanogenerator. Designed to be implanted directly in the body, it is claimed to generate enough electricity to directly stimulate the heart from small movements of body muscles.

Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), have developed a wireless charging system that can charge around 40 smart phones at a time, from a distance of 5 meters (16 ft).

Researchers at KAIST have developed a lightweight, flexible and high-efficiency thermoelectric generator that can harness your body heat to generate a small amount of electricity. The device could be used to extend the battery life of low-power wearable devices.

Counterfeiting is a growing problem, and has led to the development of various countermeasures. One of their drawbacks, however, is the fact that they can be quite complex. Now, scientists have come up with something simpler – tiny jumbles of nanowires that form item-specific "fingerprints."

The latest effort in an ever-building line of smart glasses geared toward the consumer market is K-Glass, a wearable, hands-free display developed by researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.

The Armadillo-T electric car folds itself up, to take up less parking space. Additionally, it can be parked by remote control.

The South Korean city of Gumi’s transit system will see the addition of two electric buses that draw their power from the road using the Online Electric Vehicle (OLEV) system, in which electric cables embedded in the asphalt provide power to vehicles traveling on its surface.

The MagPen is an experimental new smartphone stylus, that contains a magnet which is detected by the phone's existing magnetometers.
