However, with a new camera system developed by engineers at the University of California, San Diego, you can do both at once. What's more, the lens used in this system is just one-tenth the volume of a conventional wide-angle lens.  <a href="/web/20130927093139/http://www.gizmag.com/monocentric-lens-camera/29195/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="29176"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20130927093139/http://www.gizmag.com/bicycles/" style="float: left; margin-right: 9px;">BICYCLES</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20130927093139/http://www.gizmag.com/sphyke-c3n-bike-component-locks/29176/">Sphyke C3N secures bike components with mini combination locks</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20130927093139/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></div> <div class="date">September 25, 2013</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20130927093139/http://www.gizmag.com/sphyke-c3n-bike-component-locks/29176/pictures">4 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20130927093139/http://www.gizmag.com/sphyke-c3n-bike-component-locks/29176/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130927093139im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/sphyke.jpg" title="The Sphyke C3N setup for quick-release wheels " alt="The Sphyke C3N setup for quick-release wheels "/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> There are already plenty of options when it comes to keeping people from stealing your whole bike, but what if you also want to guard against people stealing <em>bits</em> of it?

The idea is that when those people are apprehended later, they can be linked to the crime by analyzing the location- or event-specific DNA still on their skin or clothing. Now, scientists at the Technology Transfer Unit of Portugal's University of Aveiro are developing something similar – DNA "barcodes" that can be applied to products, then subsequently read as a means of identification.  <a href="/web/20130927093139/http://www.gizmag.com/dna-barcodes-molecular-tags/29172/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item newsbyte " data-article="29166"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20130927093139/http://www.gizmag.com/glovebucket/29166/">Glovebucket keeps messy jobs contained</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20130927093139/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="summary"> <p> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20130927093139/http://www.gizmag.com/glovebucket/29166/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130927093139im_/http://images.gizmag.com/related/glovebucket.jpg" title="The Glovebucket – unfortunately, it's too small to hold a baby with soiled diapers " alt="The Glovebucket – unfortunately, it's too small to hold a baby with soiled diapers " class="newsbyte_img"/></a> From time to time, just about everyone has to perform messy jobs such as cleaning paintbrushes, scrubbing greasy vehicle parts with solvent, or removing dried-on mud from footwear.

As a result, to be on the safe side, they often only use the rear brake. It was for cyclists such as these that the Slidepad system was created. It allows both brakes to be applied with the squeeze of a single lever, in such a way that the front brake will never lock up on its own.  <a href="/web/20130927093139/http://www.gizmag.com/slidepad-sliding-brake-pad-bikes/29151/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div id="pagination"> <div class="next_prev"> <span>1</span> <a href="/web/20130927093139/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/2/">2</a> <a href="/web/20130927093139/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/3/">3</a> <a href="/web/20130927093139/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/4/">4</a> <a href="/web/20130927093139/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/5/">5</a> <a href="/web/20130927093139/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/2/" class="next_pagination">Next </a> » </div> </div> <div class="dotsontop">  <div id="search_form_bottom"> <form action="https://web.archive.org/web/20130927093139/http://www.gizmag.com/search/" id="cse-search-box-bottom"> <span class="title">Looking for something?
