With the convenience of Bluetooth technology and an array of other functional elements, trackers have become one of the most explored areas in technology today. From personal fitness tracking to identifying the location of your pets, there are trackers to enhance your mode of living every single day. The best aspect of this new branch of technology is its compatibility with your smartphone which makes evaluation easy and effortless. Since the number of smartphone users have become close to 1.75 billion this year, the market potential of these trackers is huge too.

Irish innovators received a significant boost on Tuesday when the Minister Bruton TD signed the Unified Patent Court Agreement in Brussels.

The earliest known ceramics could provide a breakthrough for 3-D printing technology in an innovative blend of ancient meets modern.

Water droplets can be used to relay digital information because of the way they bounce off each other when on a highly water-repellent surface.

Using edible ingredients, U.S. scientists have invented a new type of oil dispersant that not only breaks up spills, but also causes the oil to roll right off birds’ feathers.

The physics has been explained behind a counter-intuitive phenomenon that has puzzled scientists since the 1930s—using large amounts of cornstarch.

The plasma globe is a strange object that appears to trap colorful strings of light constantly moving inside a transparent ball.

An environmentally friendly process that stores electrical energy in cotton clothing could be used to recharge electronic gadgets.

The potential for perfectly encrypted satellite-based telecommunications just moved a big step closer with a new quantum teleportation record.

According to findings of the Innovation Union Scoreboard 2011 which was released this week, the rate of increase of innovation performance growth among Member States in the European Union (EU) is slowing down.

Futuristic ideas conceived on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the conception of Manhattan’s grid as part of The Unfinished Grid: Design Speculations for Manhattan, a new exhibit running at the Museum of City of New York.

An interview with Michael Heimbinder, community and environmental innovator in the weekly column This is New York.

Inventor Jason Giddings believes it’s time for computers peripherals to grow to the next level, and he hopes to achieve this with his new multi-touch keyboard and mouse, made from tempered glass suspended over a metal base.

The future of New York City’s transportation will most likely include further technological innovation, with speed bumps expected along the way.
