Now what inventions are literally changing humans as soon as the hit the world shelf ?
Introducing mehkury Top 10...
1.NASA Mars Insight
A Craft That Will Probe Beyond the Surface of Mars
Built by NASA,Its expected to launch in May of 2018.Its purpose is to hammer a probe more than 16 ft. into the Martian surface to study the planet’s thermal history—in effect, taking its geological temperature. Meanwhile, the seismometers will study Mars’ composition, an X-ray radio link will analyze wobble (the way Mars spins on its axis and is gravitationally tugged by other bodies in the solar system), and cameras will send panoramic and 3-D pictures back to earth.
Its usefulness need not to be overstated as it's obvious that if the perception and the knowledge of humans about Mars is going to change and increase,humans will definitely owe it to the brains behind "Mars Insight Lander".
The result ? It will throw a beam of answer to the million dollar question ...Will Man ever live in a different planet other than Mother Earth ?
2.BEMBU Wristbands
BEMBU
Countries with the highest rate of low weight birth in the world include but not limited to;
1 Mauritania 35%
2 Haiti 23%
3 Senegal 19%
4 Nepal 18%
5 Mozambique 17%
6 Philippines 16%
7 Laos 15%
8 Nigeria 15%
9 Iraq 13%
10 Brunei 12%
The primary cause of low weight birth is premature birth that is beign born 37 weeks before gestation.Being born early means a baby has less time in the mother's uterus to grow and gain weight. Much of a baby's weight is gained during the latter part of pregnancy.
Most of the children in developing countries and especially in rural areas are born with a low weight. These infants are three times more likely to die before the age of five because of incessant spate of cold common among such infants compared to children born with the standard weight.
Enter the Bempu, a $28 light-up temperature-monitoring bracelet that fits on a baby’s wrist; it sounds an alarm and flashes orange if babies are too cold, so mothers can warm them against their skin or swaddle them. So far, the device has helped an estimated 10,000 newborns, mostly in India but also in 25 other countries. And earlier this year, it won a $2 million grant from Saving Lives at Birth to scale its distribution even wider. “Our goal,” says Bempu CEO Ratul Narain, “is to make a solid dent in the neonatal mortality numbers.”
Perhaps one day when humans have overcome the language barrier between infants and adults and understand its not just babble when they speak ,we could then understand when our babies are telling us they are cold till then Bempu !
3.VICIS Zero1
VICIS Zero1
How happy will you be if you got a call that a loved one playing an NFL game had a head injury and is currently unconscious ?
About four years ago, Sam browd started thinking about how to solve the problem. What if, he wondered, the outer shell were made of a flexible polymer? That way, helmets could work like car bumpers, reducing the force (and the sound) of a collision immediately on impact. He sketched a prototype on a napkin and brought it to contacts at the University of Washington, including Per Reinhall, chair of the mechanical engineering department; together they gave birthed; VICIS, “We wanted to build the safest helmet ever made,”says Dave Marver, the company’s CEO. The result, made possible by some $40 million in investments, is the Zero1, which earned top marks in the NFL’s annual helmet testing for its ability to reduce the forces that can cause brain injury.The risk of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), Will be much reduced.
It’s now being used by players on 18 NFL teams, including Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith, and about 20 college teams.
Your answer will actually determine if you are going to doff your hat for Sam Broad,a pediatric neurosurgeon when you see him or not .
4.Super-Sustainable Crops
GreenWave 3D Ocean Farm
The future of farming is growing oysters, mussels, clams and seaweed on ropes anchored to the ocean floor. So says Bren Smith, a commercial fisherman turned director of GreenWave, a Connecticut nonprofit doing just that. The concept isn’t as wild as it may seem. As land farming becomes increasingly problematic—it accounts for a growing portion of the planet’s greenhouse-gas emissions—and oceans get overfished, humans will need to develop alternative food sources. GreenWave’s crops offer compelling advantages: they’re protein-rich, self-sufficient (no fertilizer needed) and they even help combat climate change (by sequestering carbon as they grow). Of course, getting Westerners to center their diet on mollusks and seaweed is a stretch. Still, GreenWave sees potential: the group has helped fishermen establish 14 farms along the coast of New England since 2013, and now has plans to expand in California, the Pacific Northwest and Europe.
With time and of course funding the rate of hunger in most developing countries will be reduced.
But Oysters, mussels, clams and Sea weed ?...hmmm #commentreserved
5.DJI Spark
DJI Spark
With starting prices at $499,Airborne drones have exploded in popularity over the past few years, improving everything from mapmaking to search-and-rescue operations. The DJI Spark has a more down-to-earth goal: helping anyone take better photos, videos and “dronies,”a.k.a. drone selfies. To that end,it’s easier to operate( gesture recognition means you can control it with a wave of your hand), harder to crash (an array of sensors help prevent midair collisions) and relatively cheap (though its maximum flight time of 16 minutes is shorter than higher-end models). “We see Spark as the starting point of a whole new series of drones,” says Paul Pan, DJI senior product manager. So far, that strategy is working: thanks in part to the Spark, which launched in June, China-based DJI sells half of all drones bought in the U.S
Soon the conventional way of shooting videos will be a minor option.
6.Disney magic bench
The Magic Bench allows groups of people to gather in a single environment and collectively participate in an augmented- reality experience, all at the same time, according to the study authors.
Disney Research technicians presented the Magic Bench at SIGGRAPH 2017, an annual conference and exhibition on computer graphics and interactive techniques, that was held in Los Angeles from July 30 to Aug. 3.
The "Magic Bench" lets you interact with endearing animated characters — and no special glasses or headsets are required.
Imagine watching Sophia the first,frozen or Gravity using "The magic bench " ....
7.Atomic finger printing
The new anti-counterfeiting method has two components: a unique molecular pattern that can be incorporated into a holographic label and a smartphone app.

The researchers would like to branch out to other industries, including pharmaceuticals, where $200 billion a year is lost from counterfeit drugs, Young said. And what's worse, this illegal medicine can sometimes lead to death.
Fakes, forgeries and imitations cost the global economy half a trillion dollars in lost revenue each year, according to the most recent data from the Organization for Economic cooperationand Development headquartered in Paris.
8.PowerWindows

Ferdinand Grapperhaus, co-founder and CEO of a startup, called Physee.
The first installation of Physee's PowerWindows was unveiled in June in Eindhoven, in the south of the Netherlands. The headquarters of Rabobank, the Netherlands' biggest bank, has been fitted with 323 square feet (30 square m) of the PowerWindows. The bank's employees will be able to plug their smartphones into the windows using USB ports to charge their batteries, according to Physee.
Other buildings in the Netherlands are already lined up to receive the innovative solar technology, which has won Physee a place on the World Economic Forum's Technology Pioneers 2017 list.
At the end of June, the headquarters of the Amsterdam-based charity the Postcode Lottery were fitted with the PowerWindows. After that, Physee will move forward with its first large-scale project: a 19,000-square-foot (1,800 square m) installation in a large, newly built residential complex in Amsterdam, the Bold tower.
Physee was among 30 early stage technology pioneers highlighted for 2017 and selected by the World Economic Forum for their potential.
Using your window to charge your mobile device won't he such a bad idea if especially you live in Nigeria ,where its still very strange to see constant power supply in a single week.
9."Electric Roads"
Electric cables are buried under the road to generate electromagnetic fields which are caught by a coil inside the vehicle and converted into electricity
Ever imagined travelling with your clumsy luggage and wishing you din't had to travel with your load ?
Quit imagining and stop wishing !
Welcome travelmate its an ordinary looking box but it has ;
