Thanksgiving is a special time of year, during which some friends and extended families gather to share a meal as well as each others’ company. I’m fortunate to have seen some friends who live a state away, as well as family who live in town but I don’t get to see very often. Being known as a “car guy”, friends and family often ask me car-related questions when we happen to see each other. This holiday weekend, I had that experience again.
While I was able to happily answer relatives’ q…

The rumored McLaren F1 successor may debut at the Paris Motor Show later this month, and the British automaker wants to make sure we don’t forget about it. In a new video called “McLaren vs Aerodynamics – The Next Chapter,” we’re entertained with a one-minute light show in which bursts of light bounce off the [...]

Hyperspectral Photography Abby Brack Lewis Our friends at American Photo have a great feature up today about hyperspectral photography, a technique that takes advantage of the fact that photographs often capture light beyond the visible spectrum. Using the technique, you can peel back history–and see what lies underneath pages that have been blacked out, erased, or written over. It’s already leading to new discoveries about Lincoln, Archimedes, Sophocles, and more–what’ll be next? Read the full story a…

60-Watt Equivalent The liquid silicone-filled bulb can stay much cooler than other LED light bulbs, which helps it emit a more pleasant, incandescent-like warm light. SWITCHBut it will lighten your wallet, too The ice cream cone-shaped fluorescent light bulb was supposed to be the lamp of the future, producing just as much light as the century-old Edison incandescent at a fraction of the energy. But CFLs look terrible, enveloping rooms in an unfriendly bluish hue. LED lamps are the next future of lightin…

KMel’s Quadrotor Light Show The Cannes Lions are generally characterized by lavish parties and ad industry people congratulating each other for, well, being ad industry people. But it’s also a meeting of creative, forward-thinking media minds, so perhaps it’s about time someone got wise to the robotics revolution unfolding across the globe right now. Front and center at ad house Saatchi & Saatchi’s New Directors’ Showcase at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity: a swarm of precisely-pro…

New models from Europe’s budget carmakers were eagerly received at the show, but there was less cheer at the midmarket makes like Citroën and Fiat, which seemed to be squeezed from above and below.

Lighter vehicles get better fuel economy, but lightweight high-tech materials can be prohibitively expensive. BMW will be bringing out electric and hybrid cars that use carbon fibre in their structures, as the cost of the composite material is now able to offset the cost of the battery. You can read all about it in my Driving Force column in Metro by clicking here.

When space agencies or institutions want to erect a space telescope, they usually look to some remote area like Chile’s Atacama desert where clouds are few and light pollution is likewise scarce. But a team of NASA/Jet Propulsion Lab researchers wants to go even further off the grid to escape the likes of clouds and light pollution. Many millions of miles off grid in fact. The team is exploring the idea of tethering a space telescope to the next space mission to the outer solar system so they can gather …

Traffic Light Prediction A new algorithm can accurately predict when a driver is about to run a red light. MIT/Christine Daniloff
Cars with infrared sensors, cameras and collaborative connectivity will eventually go a long way toward avoiding collisions, but human drivers will still be a wild card. Now a new algorithm can predict whether they’ll behave at intersections, and could someday prevent crashes and save lives.
Researchers at MIT developed an algorithm that analyzes several several parameters, i…
