  • If the fabric is placed in light for 24 hours, any dirt, bacteria, or stain--even coffee or red wine--automatically goes away, thanks to a chemical reaction triggered by the light.
  • So far, preliminary tests have shown that the material is safe. Tests have also shown that the coating is durable

  • Теперь биоинженеры из Тафтского университета (США) сумели в лабораторных условиях искусственно получить действующую ткань, подобную настоящему мозгу
  • Ткань не только содержит белое и серое вещества, но и способна функционировать в течение более двух месяцев.
  • В ходе экспериментов биологи подтвердили, что полученная ими ткань обладает свойствами настоящего живого мозга: имеет соответствующий метаболизм и электрическую активность, проводит сигналы и аналогичным образом реагирует на механические травмы

  • The good news is that the citizens faced with this disaster reaped the benefits of enhanced mass communications and early warning systems -- clearly the power of the Internet being used for social good.
  • Technology is getting smaller, faster, cheaper and more powerful every day. With this phenomenon, sensors in almost everything become the norm -- in our cars, machinery and infrastructure. This evolution, paired with the power of cloud computing and big data analytics, makes it possible for both humans and inanimate objects to communicate valuable information.
  • citizens already turn to social media for disaster updates to supplement traditional governmental and agency sources. Taken a step further, imagine an app that enables disaster victims and relief workers to view a shared map and see where all the rescue and aid efforts are situated in real time.

Technology app social empathy share

shared by Maria Gurova on 13 Aug 14 - No Cached
  • Kindly is his first effort to come up with an alternative solution. With the app, which launched quietly a couple weeks ago, users can share or receive short conversation prompts in categories like "addiction/recovery," "marriage/divorce," "work/business" and "creativity/inspiration." The app then makes use of an algorithm to try and match the person who put out the prompt with another who may serve as a good listener.

  • Sproutling promises to use wearable, sensor-driven technology to give parents insight into their child's sleeping patterns. It does this with a wearable anklet, a charging dock with a novel UI, and an app
  • The app uses animations, not hard numbers, to provide an at-a-glance reassurance that your baby is alive and well ("New parents aren't going to know if 130 beats per minute is better than 90, and without the medical context to understand vitals data it's just going to cause more fear and anxiety and needless calls to the doctor,"
  • This generation of new parents are millennials. "They grew up with a smartphone in their pocket, so they're looking for technology to solve their problems,"

  • The popularity of wearable health trackers, such as Fitbit, Jawbone UP, and Nike FuelBand, have created a problem
  • Hardly anyone has developed algorithms that derive actionable insights from the data that your body generates, and the dashboards are separate
  • Samsung is not planning to release a wearable health monitor to consumers, but expects other developers to build on the reference design shown today.

  • . The architects argued that flipping a landscape vertically, so that public space connects homes, schools, and workplaces within one building, would create more mixed use communities than high-rises with hundreds of rooms simply stacked on top of one another.
  • developers are rarely enthused about building diverse communities--often, it's more profitable for them to build new, luxury towers that act like gated communities for the rich. A project like FLIP/CITY would likely require political will, too, and zoning laws would have to adapt to the new mixed-use shapes and needs created by them.

  • Google’s project to change transportation by designing cars which can drive themselves is getting less secretive
  • a trip which will be far less tedious when I can do it while reading, answering email or otherwise being productive.
  • Sergey Brin has talked about self-driving cars being a reality for “everyday people” within five years–and he said that a year and a half ago, which would suggest he was thinking about 2017
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • From a technical standpoint, the car uses lasers, radar and cameras to construct a 3D image of the world around it, and uses that to make driving decisions.
  • The driver has a small heads-up display which summarizes what the car’s vision system sees, with color-coded indicators for other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists and other things it needs to contend with.
  • The Google cars drive safely in part because they’re programmed to be relentlessly cautious: Unlike many a human driver, they won’t push their luck.

  • Google Glass just got a whole lot more useful for travel. The connected headset now has official apps for Foursquare, TripIt and OpenTable.
  • TripIt inserts its trip updates and information in the Google Now cards that already appear on Glass. Your flight status, departure time and gate will all appear on a single card
  • Open Table has its own command: "Okay Glass, make a reservation...." Once you speak those words, a selection of nearby restaurants will appear, ready for you to scroll through
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • The current version of Google's Field Trip sends you notifications about surrounding points of interest, but the upgrade, released in April, lets you specifically ask what's nearby.
  • Word Lens completes the travel package. The app has been on Glass since last November, but its augmented-reality translation abilities are arguably perfectly suited for smart glasses. With Glass, all you need to do is look at a sign or menu, aim Glass' camera so the text you need translated is in an onscreen rectangle, and the words will change — from, say, Italian to English — before your eyes
