The Seven New Deadly Sins

In March the Vatican updated the traditional seven deadly sins with
seven new social sins, to bring the list into line with the temptations
of the modern world. The additions: bioethical sins, morally dubious
experiments that harm human embryos, drug abuse, polluting, social
injustice, accumulating excessive wealth and creating poverty.

The Peraves MonoTracer

You really need the mind of a Swiss engineer to come up with a vehicle
that combines the lithe maneuverability of a motorcycle with the
not-getting-rained-on-ability of a conventional automobile. In addition
to looking as though it just fell out of a time machine from a distant
and much cooler future, the MonoTracer furnishes its driver (and one
passenger) with such luxuries as air-conditioning and windshield
wipers, plus the safety of a cockpit made from Kevlar and carbon fiber
and reinforced with an aluminum roll cage.

The MonoTracer is also
energy-efficient: its BMW engine, which goes from zero to 62 m.p.h. in
4.8 sec. (100 km/h), gets about 65 m.p.g. (28 km/L).

High-Tech Running Shoes

Nike and Adidas continued their long-running battle for sneaker supremacy this year. Nike unleashed its Zoom Victory track spike (right), with a paper-thin surface that snugs runners like a second skin. Narrow threads made of Vectran, a material used to sew landing balloons on the lunar rover, run like cables from the laces to the bottom, supporting the foot at key pressure points such as the heel.

The threads keep the shoe together with a minimum of extraneous material, allowing the spike to weigh in at under 100 grams, which makes it one of the lightest performance shoes on record. Meanwhile, Adidas, working in tandem with Porsche Design, engineered the Porsche Design Sport Bounce running shoe. It features metallic springs that cushion the foot, making your run as smooth as a ride in a high-end sports car.

Aptera Electric Car

The Aptera is one of the first eco-friendly cars to get high mileage:
the all-electric model gets 120 miles (193 km) per charge, and the
hybrid gets 300 (483). Extra points for cool design and acceleration
from zero to 60 (97 km/h) in under 10 seconds — living up to
its name, Greek for "wingless flight."

Sunscreen for Plants

 

Sure, crops require sun, but they need some skin protection too. Purshade, a new SPF-45 spray, forms a film of microscopic mirror-like prisms over growing fruits and veggies to reflect harmful UV rays while letting the good light pass through. Result: higher yields and better-quality food.
