At the new Tiger Trek exhibit at Taronga Zoo in Sydney you won’t just stare at tigers through glass. You can climb into a Toyota LandCruiser and effectively enter their enclosure, protected only by a toughened windscreen and windows, like on a safari. The Sumatran tiger, which is a native to Indonesia, is a critically endangered animal with only up to 400 remaining in the wild. https://taronga.org.au/tigertrek

Bloomframe is a new window that transforms into a balcony at the touch of a button. Designed by Amsterdam-based Hofman Dujardin Architects, the window system allows entire sections of an apartment’s wall to fold outwards to create a balcony extension. The first Bloomframe window was installed in the Amsterdam housing project in July this year. It’s planned for the new Broadway tower project in Brisbane. https://www.hofmandujardin.nl/bloomframe-window/

A team of engineers at the University of Toronto has created a way to fix damaged organ tissue without surgery. The method involves a needle and a patch the size of the postage stamp, which has shape-memory capabilities, meaning it will always return to its default state when introduced to the right temperature. Once inserted into the needle and injected into the body, the patch unfolds and expands before proceeding to repair and replace missing tissue. https://futurism.com/new-stamp-sized-tissue-patch-could-be-used-to-regenerate-damaged-organs/

In Los Angeles, where summer temperatures regularly surpass 38 degrees Celsius, or 100 degrees Fahrenheit, workers are coating streets in special grey treatments in a bid to help reduce the heat. It’s the first major city to test the technology. Normal black asphalt absorbs 80 to 95 per cent of sunlight, while the gray “cool pavement” reflects it – reducing ground temperature and urban street heat. http://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/2106692/los-angeles-coating-roads-reflective-paint-beat-heat?

Chinese delivery firm Shentong is leading in automation. Orange robots at the company’s sorting stations are able to identify the destination of a package through a code-scan, virtually eliminating sorting mistakes. They can sort up to 200,000 packages a day, and are self-charging, meaning they are operational 24/7. Shentong estimates its robotic sorting system is saving around 70-percent of the costs of a human-based sorting line. http://m.huffingtonpost.ca/2017/04/18/shentong-express_n_16087678.html
