Researchers have finally found a way to keep birds away from airports. After ten years of researches they managed to develop the  Falco Robot GBRS, meaning Gregarious Bird Removal System. The robots are remote-controlled and can scare the birds from Genoa airport. This really is an ingenious way to improve air traffic in airports.

Alcatel-Lucent researchers disclosed researches that are most likely going to revolutionize the internet transmissions, by increasing speeds dramatically. Those researches were presented at the Exposition/National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference and Optical Fiber Communication Conference and the company stated that they’ve used some new technologies, “including a highly linear, balanced optoelectronic photoreceiver and an ultra-compact, temperature-insensitive coherent mixer.”The researches broke a record, by managing to transmit optical data over 2,550km at an incredible speed of 16,b Tbps. For this to be possible, 164 wavelength-division multiplexed channels modulated at 100 Gbps were …

Maybe you are thinking where the blogging can head. Now there’s a necklace that records everything in front of your face and logs everything that happened 5 minutes before it notices a jump in heart rate that can redefine the video life blogging. The Momenta necklace could turn a bit scary, recording probably unpleasant things for you, but also interesting.
Along with it’s functionality, it also has a nice looking design. Unfortunately, we don’t have informations about release date or price yet.

This is one of the coolest inventions in the world ever discovered. A Bluetooth device implanted under human skin which looks like a tattoo. It was developed and designed by Jim Mielke and it has many advantages - you can answer your phone by pushing a button on your arm and while your speaking, a digital video with the caller pops up and when you are finished the tattoo vanishes.
The tattoo doesn’t have any adverse effects on the human body and as an addition it monitors your blood to alert …

Sony is preparing to sell it’s chip production facilities from Japan to Toshiba in order to focus on their core business, as they’ve stated. Toshiba has paid $835 million and is going to make high performance Cell chips and TSX graphic chips, that are both used in Sony Playstation 3.
We already knew since October that Sony is going to sell it’s chip production facilities to Toshiba, but the price wasn’t specified. Now they are only going to focus on image sensor chips for digital cameras and aren’t going to invest …

Damian Savio, a 23-year-old industrial design student from the University of Western Sydney has designed a lightning system for the window space, inspired from the Breezway window louver system. The Lightway uses OLEDs, with an advanced transparent Photovoltaic Nanoscale technology, that allows your home to be lighted by sunlight during daytime and lights it during the night.
The invention seems to be both useful and stylish, offering a unique style to your home. Those might be the stained-glass of the future.

A new small-factor propulsion system is being developed by the Oklahoma State researchers for the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The propulsion system is going to be used in unmanned aircraft by infantrymen to inspect hostile areas and for surveillance, if successful.
The aircraft powered by the revolutionary propulsion system will be even smaller than 6-inches, providing a useful upgrade to the UAV equipment currently soldiers use.
An associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, Jamey Jacob, stated “We are still too early in the development process to determine to …

Engineers from the University of Washington have designed some contact lens with imprinted electronic circuits and lights to help vision-impaired people, for an alternative way to surf the web or holographic driving control. Babak Parviz, a professor from the University of Washington stated that they’ve only made a small step to their goal, but it seems very promising, so they should manage to reach their goal.
Their technology will definitely have great use in the future and not only for contact lenses. If they use it in windshields drivers and pilots …

A computer guide kite will be attached to a 132-meter long ship to help it to consume less fuel while traversing the Atlantic. This kite will be tied up at a height of 15-meters and it will fly 300 meters above the vessel to do its job. It is said that the SkySails kite will reduce the ships fuel consumption by 20% saving $1,600 per day. The $725,000 device will also reduce the carbon emissions. Lets hope that the ship will complete its trip over the Atlantic in January and …

Japanese scientists found a way of replacing the Bluetooth, which is a bad battery-draining technology. They’ve created a plastic sheet gives the gadgets the possibility to exchange data between them, and also to use it as a wireless charger when they are sitting on it. This connection has another advantage then the Bluetooth: it is more secure.
The scientists are trying to make this sheets very large so many machines would be able to communicate on it, without using large networks of wires. We’ll have to wait until this will happen …

All the world is on a competition to build a working and dependable scramjet, that should fly from New York to Tokyo in just two hours, because of the high speeds it could reach. Especially Australia, China and the United States are doing a hard job for it and finally it seems DARPA is working on a concept that might be released in 2012, the Blackswift, also known as HTV-3X.
Another reason why they want the scramjet so badly is because a missile using it would hit any target on Earth …

European football or soccer is the most spreaded and beloved sport in the world. Lately the biggest problem in soccer are the referees, even though their mistakes are not made voluntary. Now, Adidas came up with a solution. In colaboration with Cairo Technologies, they are working on a “smart” soccer ball which can determine if it has entered the goal ot not. Chips will be implemented into the ball and will send data to a computer which will know at any time where is the ball. This Sunday, at the final of the …

Chinese inventors respond to Japanese ones with a concept for shower heads. They made four different hues for the heads which react to four different water temperatures: white for temperatures under 32°C, blue and dark blue for 33°C to 41°C, pink and violet for 42°C to 45°C and hot red for temperatures bigger than 45°C. Being a Chinese product it should be very cheap and it should be amusing when it’s time to shower.

A new simple, but at the same time very efficient, USB Drive who looks just like a chocolate. Each piece of the “chocolate” consists of a modular flash drive. In the center of the hub sits a touchscreen that helps you organize your files. This idea is very good, because it’s practical and it has an attractive delicious design.

You probably love Toshiba’s latest announcement, the Super Charge ion Battery and think it could explode or catch fire, after the events that took place lately with batteries. Well, Toshiba has announced and recorded a video ( watch after the jump ) of an externally short circuited battery and you can see that it won’t explode, neither catch fire.
For making the battery more safe, they have used lithium titanate, that has a high flash point and a high heat resistance separator. Toshiba stated that the risks of combustion or burst …
