- Helite, a German safety innovation company, just introduced Kid’Guard at Eurobike 2026—the first airbag system engineered for children seated on bicycles. The technology is fully developed and will be available for purchase directly from Helite’s website soon.
The system’s greatest advantage lies in its simplicity: once deployed, you unscrew the spent CO₂ cartridge and install a fresh one to restore full functionality. This straightforward maintenance approach makes Kid’Guard both practical and cost-effective for everyday use.
Parents, would you get one for your child seat?

This year, Hudson Yards invested millions of dollars to transform Edge into the highest outdoor observation deck in the Western Hemisphere. Then there's Pulse, with 450 individually programmed light orbs that respond to human movement. Crystal Cave, a 25-foot canopy of hanging crystals that cast shifting rainbows across the floor. A kaleidoscope where light and color shift in real time. Then there's Infinite City, a forest of vertical mirror chambers that makes you feel like you're walking through NYC's skyline while looking at it.
The bet Hudson Yards is making is that New Yorkers and visitors don't just want to see the city from above anymore. They want to feel it refracted, remixed, and reflected back at them. These are living artworks maintained by more than 500 people, designed to cr...

- In the 1890s, Regina Music Boxes were the ultimate luxury item for upper-middle-class families, representing the cutting edge of mechanical engineering and entertainment technology. While exact original retail prices remain elusive, we know they were significantly cheaper than the cylinder music boxes they replaced, whose discs alone could cost more than a worker’s annual salary.
Fast forward over a century, and these treasured pieces now command impressive prices in today’s antique market. A small tabletop Regina model ranges from $1,000 to $3,000, while standard models typically sell between $2,000 and $5,000. Rare upright models, especially coin-operated ones in excellent condition, can reach $14,500 to $38,500.
What makes these prices remarkable isn’t just rarity or condition—it’s the history they tell: a time when families gathered around mechanical marvels to hear orchestral music in their living rooms.

For people with paralysis, stroke, or conditions like ALS who have lost the ability to move or speak, this technology is a breakthrough. It bypasses the body entirely, meaning a person who can't move a single muscle can still type, communicate, and control devices just by thinking.

For nearly 400,000 Americans living with severe paralysis, BCIs represent a potential lifeline, restoring their ability to communicate, work, and engage with the world around them.
At the center of the story is Precision Neuroscience, a New York-based company developing what may be one of the most consequential pieces of medical technology ever created: a cortical interface thinner than a strand of human hair, embedded with over 1,000 micro-electrodes that sit on the surface of the brain without penetrating it. Precision positions itself on the pillars of safety, reversibility, and high bandwidth, and as of filming, had implanted more patients than the rest of the BCI industry combined.
