How Do Space Suits Even Work?                            Written by Dnyaneshwar Bhoir  People have been going into space for some time now and we’ve seen astronauts sporting all sorts of outfits to do so, but how do those space suits actually work? And how have they evolved over time to accommodate our ever-expanding explorations further from our home planet? We’re talking space suit fashion, or well, more accurately, space suit  innovation  (although, if I’m being honest, they  are  becoming quite stylish these days). Source:  Pixabay These suits essentially act as personal space crafts, and they have one very important job: to keep humans alive. A tall order in places quite different from the atmosphere here on earth. Let’s begin with a little overview from  WIRED  that brings us from the first space suits that were designed by NASA, to the latest and greatest (and very  chic ) innovation that’ll be making its debut in space in the next couple years: the  Boeing Blue

Finally, What To Do With Your Old Cell Phones!                              Written by Dnyaneshwar Bhoir  When we think about the new generation of technology, are we considering whether these innovations are becoming more sustainable and Eco-friendly? If you are anything like me, you are the sad owner of a cell phone graveyard. A drawer filled with the technology I no longer use; ancient iPods, my first flip phone, and years of cracked iPhones. I’m not proud of this drawer, but honestly, I just don’t know what to do with it! Fixing them feels impossible, throwing them away seems wrong, so what are we to do? Source:  Sascha Pohflepp // Wikimedia Sure, recycling cell phones is an option (don’t worry, we’ll help you with that later in the article), but is that really a long term solution? Small electronics like cell phones are an enormous contributor to the waste stream and greenhouse gas emissions, yet we rarely hear about how these kinds of technologies are becoming

Rainforests have some of the most complicated soundscapes on the planet. In this dense noise of  insects ,  primates ,  birds , and everything else that moves in the forest, how can you detect the sounds of illegal logging?

After a visit to the rainforests of Borneo, physicist and engineer  Topher White was struck by the sounds of the forest. In particular, the noises he couldn’t hear.

Why the smartphone world needs Huawei and the US ban is worrisome? The morning of May 20 was a clamorous one. Some were reacting to the #ExitPoll results from the night ago, while others were coming to terms with the  Game Of Thrones  finale. In the midst of all this, reports claimed that  Chinese smartphone maker  Huawei’s Android licence had been revoked by Google  following an order from the US Department of Commerce . America was cutting off all trade ties with Huawei because its government believed the company was a “Chinese spy”, and posed a “risk to national security” - something the phone maker has categorically denied in the past. Shortly after, this became a trending topic on Twitter, and much confusion ensued. Image: Huawei | Official Website My phone beeped at noon. A friend, who shares my passion for mobile tech, wondered, " Hope your phone won’t be affected by the Huawei-Android issue?” “I don’t know. It might be... eventually? This is ser
