Until science figured out a cure for blindness, you would never get to see the blue sky on a clear day or how green the grass can get in the spring. The Bright-F concept hopes to give the blind community a chance to experience different ...

If you’ve been looking for a graceful motor bike to cruise around the city streets with, the nUCLEUS is definitely not the bike for you.

Besides, who doesn’t love carrying out their childhood fantasy of shooting their alarm clock every morning before hauling ass to the coal mines? There really isn’t much to this and that’s what I love. You have a really basic clock ...

A self-sufficient aquarium? To an extent, that’s what one could probably call Local River. The latest project from French designer Mathieu Lehanneur features a small aquarium with untrained fish swimming around at the bottom.
