As if we needed another reminder that Mars isn't exactly friendly to life, researchers from Scotland's University of Stirling have revealed that the planet is more arid than Earth's driest deserts. That might not exactly sound surprising, but it's ye...
Occurrence of asthma has increased significantly since the 1970s and much of it has been attributed to the increased exposure to airborne chemical triggers. As human bodies strive hard to cope with environments they are not originally intended for, preventive measures attain as much significance as treatments. The ‘Twist+’ dry inhaler makes use of innovative technology to help with both prevention and treatment of Asthma attacks.
Designed by Diana Dumitrescu, the dry powder inhaler also houses a sensor which can detect the presence of Volatile Organic Compounds in the surrounding air. Air quality reports will be then sent to a dedicated smartphone App to warn the user. The handy App can also remind the user in case they forgot the inhaler at home. It can even keep your doctor posted about your health. Further support for asthma management is provided via Twist+ website.

While it’s been designed for use in public spaces, I’m pretty sure that I’d like to have a Dyson Airblade Tap at home. This water faucet is combined with a very powerful hand dryer, which will dry your hands in a matter of seconds.
Anyone who’s ever used a Dyson Airblade knows that they dry hands very quickly, but there’s still the problem of all the water from people’s hands puddling on the floor of the bathroom as they walk from the sink to the dryer. So it’s definitely a smart idea to combine a hand dryer with a faucet, letting you dry your hands without dripping water all over the floor.
The Airblade Tap’s fully-integrated 1400W motor is housed under the sink and draws in air through a HEPA filter before blasting it out. It uses photo sensors to detect when your hands are placed beneath the tap or under the drying jets. After washing your hands, it will dry them in just 14 seconds.
The Dyson Airblade Tap will retail for £999.99 (~$1,569 USD). Dyson claims that it can dry the hands of 15 people for the cost of only one paper towel. Now that’s efficient.
