Technology has made a lot of things possible. And it’s entirely right to believe that the best thing happening to man is technology itself. Not even the inventions available today. New leads emerge yearly and while some are built on the existing solution, others take an entirely different path to expose the vast extent…
The European edition of Maker Faire just started today. It’s organised by InnovaCamera, a Special Agency of the Rome Chamber of Commerce, whose mission is to place the city of Rome at the centre of the debate on innovation, by spreading the digital culture, and developing the individual and collective entrepreneurship that is so integral to…
The open source movement has facilitated the development of low cost and easy-to-use technologies for scientific settings. A study published in PLOS ONE describes the creation of a novel multi-fluorescence imaging system from readily available, low cost components. “Fluorescence imaging has become an essential tool for research and education in biological sciences and bioengineering. However, instrumentation for…
Clive Sinclair in 1982 introduced an inexpensive ZX series of home computers. He launched an 8-bit color output computer called the Spectrum, with rubbery chiclet-style keyboard keys marked with programming keywords and a striking rainbow motif. A fervent ZX community has continued to create games, and last year a startup named SpecNext hit Kickstarter to…
Paytm announced the launch of its ‘Indian Open Source Project Incubator’, where professionals and students can build open source-based solutions, and share these projects with the global developer community. Deepak Abbot, Senior Vice President at Paytm, said: “In our country, we use a lot of open source projects but do not contribute back enough to…
Often, the best way to learn something is to approach it in a hands-on manner. This is certainly true of robotics, though many schools have been limited by the availability and accessibility of the technology, which is often quite expensive. Fortunately, that’s where Slant Robotics comes in. With its new LittleBot 3D printed robot, the…
By opening up its robust, mature, and secure autonomous driving technology to the industry, Baidu aims to build a collaborative ecosystem, utilizing its strengths in artificial intelligence (AI) technology to work together with other companies to promote the development and popularization of autonomous driving technology. The name Apollo was borrowed from the Apollo lunar landing…
Are you worried about security and privacy issues of your Amazon Echo? Let see Shawn Hymel’s solution by creating and configuring a kill switch that is activated over IFTTT and a set of instructions to power-off the device. First of all, you have to connect all the needed hardware components, based on the Particle Photon board. Once you…
Ok, it’s not open source..but it’s to cool not to write about it! I have to make a confession, I can’t understand if I love it or if it scares me, but certainly the Korea Future Technology and the designer Burlgarov made a great job. The inspiration for the design came from former Starcraft artists Vitaly…
The rate at which innovation is taking place, facilitated by a variety of new technological groundwork on which new innovations are able to be propagated, has been increasing over the past decades. For example, the innovation lead time to attain a modest 50 million users has increased markedly since the 1970s, as shown in…
