There are a few things more painful than going to the beach on a hard-earned vacation, only to get stung by a jellyfish. The horror! Thankfully, this occurrence may soon be a thing of the past, as researchers have developed an anti-jellyfish buoy.

​If you're lost or injured in the wilderness, there's a good chance that there won't be cellular coverage where you are – that means you can't just phone for help. Your smartphone may still get you found, however, thanks to a new app designed at Spain's Universidad de Alicante.
