Two Swedish engineers created a refrigerator-sized device that produces gasoline from air, water, and renewable electricity while removing CO₂ from the atmosphere. The carbon-neutral machine will hit the U.S. market in late 2026 for under $20,000.
A Swedish design team created a stainless steel flosser that holds months of floss inside and lasts a lifetime, eliminating single-use plastic picks. The sleek tool is crowdfunding now with over 6,000 backers and ships globally in January 2027.
Scientists in Sweden just built a solar panel that works from both sides, capturing 15% more energy than traditional panels. The secret? A special transparent material that lets light through instead of blocking it.
Swedish inventor Simone Giertz designed a chair that finally gives your "not dirty enough to wash" clothes a proper home. The rotating furniture piece combines seating with a hidden clothing rail, turning a universal habit into smart design.
Scientists at Chalmers University just solved one of quantum computing's biggest paradoxes by building a refrigerator that uses noise as fuel instead of fighting it. This breakthrough could help make powerful quantum computers practical for everyday use.
Scientists in Sweden created solar cells inspired by glowing jellyfish that behave more like living organisms than traditional panels. These flexible, bio-compatible cells could power medical devices and sensors where rigid silicon panels can't reach.
