The world’s first solar-powered watch that can set the time with GPS signals, the Astron is accurate to within one second per 100,000 years and automatically adjusts to any timezone in the world. Seiko announced the release of the Astron back in March and it’s now going on sale worldwide. <a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/seiko-astron/24152/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <!-- FM Content Well Zone Zone --> <!-- <script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.fmpub.net/zone/7980"></script> --> <div class="summary_item " data-article="24095"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/motorcycles/" style="float: left; ">MOTORCYCLES</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/spherical-drive-system-omnidirectional-electric-motorcycle/24095/">Students designing an omnidirectional sphere-wheeled electric motorcycle</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/author/paul-ridden/">Paul Ridden</a></div> <div class="date">September 14, 2012</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/spherical-drive-system-omnidirectional-electric-motorcycle/24095/#comments">25 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/spherical-drive-system-omnidirectional-electric-motorcycle/24095/pictures">30 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback" href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/spherical-drive-system-omnidirectional-electric-motorcycle/24095/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920042500im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/sds-omni.jpg" title="A group of students from the Charles W Davidson College Of Engineering at San Jose State U..." alt="A group of students from the Charles W Davidson College Of Engineering at San Jose State U..."/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> Thanks to gyros, accelerometers and sophisticated control mechanisms, remaining upright on a two-wheeled vehicle is no longer quite the balancing act it might once have been, even when at a standstill.

Dubbed XYZ Spaceframe Vehicles, the models incorporate weather-resistant and lightweight frames that are made using standard aluminum tubes. Those tubes are assembled together using simple stainless steel bolts, washers and nuts. “Unlike the singular load-bearing tube seen in traditional bike structures, the main structure is an orthogonal spaceframe of standard aluminum tubes,” says N55. <a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/n55-xyz-spaceframe-vehicles/24163/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="24177"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/automotive/" style="float: left; ">AUTOMOTIVE</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/lexus-lf-cc-hybrid-coupe-concept/24177/">Lexus LF-CC hybrid coupe concept breaks cover ahead of Paris Motor Show</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></div> <div class="date">September 17, 2012</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/lexus-lf-cc-hybrid-coupe-concept/24177/#comments">4 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/lexus-lf-cc-hybrid-coupe-concept/24177/pictures">5 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback" href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/lexus-lf-cc-hybrid-coupe-concept/24177/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920042500im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/lexus_lf-cc.jpg" title="The Lexus LF-CC mid-sized coupe concept that will make its world debut at the 2012 Paris M..." alt="The Lexus LF-CC mid-sized coupe concept that will make its world debut at the 2012 Paris M..."/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> Taking a number of cues from the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/lexus-lf-lc-hybrid-sports-concept/21058/" target="_blank">LF-LC Hybrid Sports Coupe Concept</a> unveiled in Detroit in January – which isn’t a bad place to take some cues from in our opinion – the Lexus LF-CC Concept Car is a mid-sized coupe concept featuring a new 2.5-liter full hybrid powertrain that will soon be introduced on the Lexus model range.

New firmware wi..."/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> The EOS 7D is Canon's top-shelf crop-frame digital SLR - and since its release, it's been a favourite among SLR filmmakers. Like its big brother the 5D, the 7D can be wrangled into an outstanding piece of cinema equipment, but that's not really what it has been designed for – and the onboard software reflects that fact. Enter the firmware hackers at Magic Lantern, who have tacked on a bunch of extra functionality from focus peaking and focus stacking to zebra striping, expanded audio controls, time-lapse intervalometers and expanded exposure bracketing. For years, this functionality was available on more or less every Canon HDSLR except the 7D, due to the fact that it runs two DIGIC processors, not one. But yesterday, after what they've described as an "Aha! moment" the ML team announced they've figured out how to port the Magic Lantern software to the 7D. 7D owners, your new Magic Lantern firmware is on its way! <a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/magic-lantern-canon-eos-7d-cracked/24189/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="24118"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/scienceandeducation/" style="float: left; ">SCIENCE AND EDUCATION</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/mars-curiosity-phobos-inspection/24118/">Curiosity finishes self-inspection, photographs Phobos</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/author/david-szondy/">David Szondy</a></div> <div class="date">September 16, 2012</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/mars-curiosity-phobos-inspection/24118/#comments">1 Comment</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/mars-curiosity-phobos-inspection/24118/pictures">21 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback" href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/mars-curiosity-phobos-inspection/24118/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920042500im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/curiosity-self-inspection.jpg" title="Curiosity's self-portrait (Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Malin Space Science Systems)" alt="Curiosity's self-portrait (Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Malin Space Science Systems)"/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> NASA’s Mars rover <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/curiosity/" target="_blank">Curiosity</a> has limbered up its <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/curiosity-starts-arm-work/24036/" target="_blank">robotic arm</a>, taken a good look at itself and has been given a clean bill of health.

Meanwhile, the nuclear-powered explorer sent back images of Mars’s moon Phobos as it passed in front of the Sun. <a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/mars-curiosity-phobos-inspection/24118/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="24156"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/automotive/" style="float: left; ">AUTOMOTIVE</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/bmw-13-concept-paris/24156/">BMW to show new i3 Concept in Paris</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/author/noel-mckeegan/">Noel McKeegan</a></div> <div class="date">September 16, 2012</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/bmw-13-concept-paris/24156/#comments">8 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/bmw-13-concept-paris/24156/pictures">22 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback" href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/bmw-13-concept-paris/24156/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920042500im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/bmw-i3-concept.jpg" title="BMW i3 Concept" alt="BMW i3 Concept"/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> BMW will present a new version of its <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/bmw-i3-i8-electric-hybrid-cars/19427/" target="_blank">i3 Concept</a> electric vehicle at the Paris Motor Show later this month.

The TS030 Hybrid uses a THS-R (Toyota Hybrid System - Racing) comprising a gasoline-burning 3.4 liter V8 engine and a 500 kJ Nisshinbo supercapacitor energy recovery unit which supplies power to the rear wheels. The Audi uses a turbocharged 3.7 liter V6 diesel engine with a 500 kJ electric flywheel accumulator to store recovered energy and feed it to the front wheels to create four-wheel-drive. It seems Audi has a worthy adversary in Toyota and the remainder of the season will be worth watching. <a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/toyota-ts030-hybrid-wec-win/24150/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div id="pagination"> <div class="next_prev"> <span>1</span> <a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/top_stories/page/2/">2</a> <a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/top_stories/page/3/">3</a> <a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/top_stories/page/4/">4</a> <a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/top_stories/page/5/">5</a> <a href="/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/top_stories/page/2/" class="next_pagination">Next </a> » </div> </div> <div class="dotsontop"> <!-- Google Search Box --> <div id="search_form_bottom"> <form action="https://web.archive.org/web/20120920042500/http://www.gizmag.com/search/" id="cse-search-box-bottom"> <span class="title">Looking for something?
