3D Printed Fashion Might Just Be The New Way to Shop for Clothes

3D printing is the new frontier when it comes to manufacturing. 3D printers can create everything from electronic components to building materials. You can just print them out. The technology makes all kinds of items more available and allows for materials to be spread to larger audiences. Typically, 3D printing is associated with hard, plasticky items, but what if we used different materials? That's what designer Mary Huang thought when she heard about 3D printers becoming more affordable."I thought that the most logical thing to try to print would be something like a pair of shoes — so you could download your shoes at night, and get new shoes in the morning," she told Mashable. One of the shoes available at Continuum. Mary Huang/Continuum Another shoe des

The Lilium Flying Car – The world’s very first all-electric VTOL aircraft

Technology, Videos

Way back in 1894, Otto Lilienthal started experimentation with the earliest gliders and envisioned the day when all of us would be able to fly anywhere we desire, anytime we need. The Lilium Jet Flying Car is transforming that vision into the real world by planning to provide personalised, environmentally friendly as well as cost effective air commuting to all of us. The Lilium Jet Flying Car safely and effectively accomplished its first test flight series in the sky over Bavaria. The 2-seater Eagle Flying Car prototype performed a variety of challenging maneuvers, among them its special mid-air changeover from hovering to wing-borne fast forward flying. The Lilium Jet Flying Car will help us travel around 5 times quicker compared with a family car and will be the planet's very f...

Hold On To Your Hats (And Wear a Helmet)! The Hovercrafts Have Arrived.

Technology, Videos

The future is here! Just like out childhood cartoons promised us, we now have hovercraft technology. About time, right? The Hendo Hoverboard uses a magnetic field that allows it, and a full-sized human on top, to defy gravity and hover above the ground. Despite Earnshaw's theorem, which says that equilibrium can never be reached between two magnets, the Hendo uses a principle called magnetic field architecture to create stabilized movement. The board can be also propelled forward using this principle, and the Hendo was designed to react smoothly and naturally to the user's motions. To be technical, this technology already exists with high-speed rail, which uses electromagnetic currents to float the cars above the tracks, eliminating friction and allowing for a smooth, fast ride.

Solar Roof Tiles Unveiled By Tesla

Business, Technology

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has unveiled a range of textured solar roof tiles with integrated solar cells that are nearly indistinguishable from conventional tiling, along with a sleek update to the company’s energy-storing Powerwall. Musk revealed that a row of suburban American houses on Wisteria Lane—the old set of Desperate Housewives—were all, in fact, topped with one of four new styles of textured solar roof tiles with integrated solar cells that are nearly indistinguishable from conventional tiling. From the street, it was virtually impossible to tell; the roofs retained a variety of traditional looks, from textured slate shingle to terra cotta tile. Musk said the secret to the tiles’ appearance is a special coating that becomes more or less see-through depending on your viewing a
