The first, known as Solar Orbiter, will see a spacecraft operating closer to the Sun than any previous mission with a particular focus on examining the solar wind. The second, Euclid, is essentially a space telescope whose primary goal is to study the accelerating expansion of the universe in an attempt to provide an understanding of the exact nature of dark matter. <a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/esa-cosmic-vision-missions/20066/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/mobiletechnology/" style="float: left; ">MOBILE TECHNOLOGY</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/bose-bluetooth-headset-series-2/20065/">Bose releases Bluetooth headset Series 2</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>21:30 October 5, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111007033112im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/bose-bluetooth-headset-series-2/20065/#comments">1 Comment</a> </p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/bose-bluetooth-headset-series-2/20065/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111007033112im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/bose_bluetooth-headset_s2.jpg" title="The Bose Bluetooth headset Series 2 comes in left- and right-ear versions" alt="The Bose Bluetooth headset Series 2 comes in left- and right-ear versions"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Bose has unveiled its new Bluetooth headset. The Series 2 headset features the same form factor as the original, but now comes in left- and right-ear versions. A2DP streaming has also been added, alongside Bose's Adaptive Audio Adjustment technology that automatically adjusts the speaker volume in response to changes in ambient noise levels - keeping the volume down when in a quiet office and pumping up the volume when you step out in to a busy street, for example. <a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/bose-bluetooth-headset-series-2/20065/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/health/" style="float: left; ">HEALTH AND WELLBEING</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/generating-electricity-from-respiration/20064/">New device to generate electricity from human breathing</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>19:20 October 5, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p><img src="/web/20111007033112im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/generating-electricity-from-respiration/20064/picture/144116/">2 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/generating-electricity-from-respiration/20064/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111007033112im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/breathing_power.jpg" title="A simulated lung with the piezoelectric PVDF microband (in yellow) that vibrates as air fl..." alt="A simulated lung with the piezoelectric PVDF microband (in yellow) that vibrates as air fl..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>One of the biggest hurdles facing the developers of biological implants is coming up with a power source to keep the implanted devices ticking.

The record of 155.8 mph (250.7 km/h) set by the “Electric Blue” streamliner at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah was averaged over the two required qualifying runs, one of which saw the car reach a speed of 175 mph (281.6 km/h). The record marks the end of a seven year quest by BYU students led by Perry Carter who, having just retired as an associate professor, gets to bow out on top. <a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/electric-blue-streamliner-world-land-speed-record/20054/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/robotics/" style="float: left; ">ROBOTICS</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/us-military-throwable-robots/20052/">U.S military to field-test “throwable” robots in Afghanistan</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>21:39 October 4, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111007033112im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/us-military-throwable-robots/20052/#comments">3 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111007033112im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/us-military-throwable-robots/20052/picture/143980/">13 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/us-military-throwable-robots/20052/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111007033112im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/throwbots.jpg" title="A Soldier throws a Recon Robotics Recon Scout Throwbot XT robot" alt="A Soldier throws a Recon Robotics Recon Scout Throwbot XT robot"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Robots are a perfect tool to provide soldiers in the field with “eyes” on a potentially hazardous situation without placing themselves in harm’s way. With soldiers often operating in difficult terrain or entering buildings, the easiest way to get such robots into place is to throw them. Currently, many units use a small tactical robot called the Small Unmanned Ground Vehicle 320 that is equipped with video reconnaissance technology. However, this robot weighs 32 pounds (14.5 kg) so the call has been put out for a lighter robot that is more easily transportable by dismounted units on the move and is able to be thrown into forward locations such as buildings and caves. To this end, the U.S. military is set to put three different types of lightweight, “throwable” robots through a series of combat assessments in Afghanistan. <a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/us-military-throwable-robots/20052/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/games/" style="float: left; ">GAMES</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/turbo-fire-evo-wireless-xbox-controller/20036/">Turbo Fire EVO Wireless Xbox Controller with cheat-friendly LCD display</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>00:21 October 4, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111007033112im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/turbo-fire-evo-wireless-xbox-controller/20036/#comments">1 Comment</a> </p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/turbo-fire-evo-wireless-xbox-controller/20036/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111007033112im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/turbo_fire_evo.jpg" title="The Turbo Fire EVO Wireless Controller for Xbox 360 packs a 1.7-inch LCD display" alt="The Turbo Fire EVO Wireless Controller for Xbox 360 packs a 1.7-inch LCD display"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Online gamers not wanting to rely purely on skill to outplay opponents now have a cheat-friendly Xbox 360 controller to add to their arsenal.

Aside from moving from glass to plastic and the addition of rings on their lids and bases that allows them to be stacked, the petri dish has remained largely unchanged since its invention by German bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri and his assistant Robert Koch in the late 1800s. Now researchers at the California Institute of technology (Caltech) have dragged the petri dish into the 21st Century by incorporating an image sensor like those found in mobile phone cameras that does away with the need for bulky microscopes. <a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/epteri-dish/20031/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/sports/" style="float: left; ">SPORTS</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/adidas-adizero-f50-football-boot/20030/">adidas unveils adizero f50 “smart” football boot </a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>19:58 October 3, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111007033112im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/adidas-adizero-f50-football-boot/20030/#comments">3 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111007033112im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/adidas-adizero-f50-football-boot/20030/picture/143874/">8 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111007033112/http://www.gizmag.com/adidas-adizero-f50-football-boot/20030/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111007033112im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/adizero_f50.jpg" title="The adizero f50 football boot from adidas" alt="The adizero f50 football boot from adidas"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>For a long time, the technological advances in footwear were limited to lighter and more durable materials, and improved support and comfort. But the miniaturization of electronics and wireless technology is opening up the possibilities for extending the capabilities of the humble shoe.
