We have developed a library of “do-it-yourself” soft polymer building blocks that can be adhered together using a solution of ions and water, without any specialized equipment and expertise. Using 3D printing, we designed LEGO-like blocks that incorporate mechanical connectors and miniature plumbing,
The Light Airship concept is an innovative relaunch of the Dirigible/Airship technology retrofitted with cutting edge modern technology to make it very reliable and the most eco-friendly mode of transport.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is a common neuropathy that produces numbness, tingling and pain in the hand and arm. Large pressures on the median nerve, generally arising from repetitive and extended hand movements for prolonged periods of time, are often credited as the main causes of the condition.
THE PROBLEM: Ventilator-dependent patients frequently experience accidental ventilator disconnect between the tracheostomy tube and the ventilator; a deadly problem known clinically as "pop-off". This accidental “pop-off” can occur multiple times per day, sometimes every hour for some patients.

In 2017, the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) declared that among the 57.7 million amputees in the world, 19.6% of the global amputee population is suffering from unilateral upper limb amputation while 19.1% were bilateral amputees. Subsequently,
The idea for a Parabolic Airstream Inline Diffuser (P.A.I.D.) came into existence for the purpose of making it easier to tow my caravan by reducing the significantly restrictive aerodynamic properties of my caravan.
Electrification in aviation will be one of the big engineering challenges of the near future. Different types of electric powertrain architectures have been proposed and many of them have been implemented and tested in real conditions. So far,
Technology has become cheaper and more accessible, giving way to opportunities in technological areas that were previously inaccessible. Moreover, building a fully functional self-driving vehicle has become the new gold rush in the current industries. Yet, there are many issues to solve when building an autonomous vehicle.
