Vertical Aerospace debuts "electric flying taxi" in New York
British tech company Vertical Aerospace has debuted its electric flying aircraft in New York City, which is designed to transport customers short distances around a city "in near silence, with zero emissions".
On 22 January, Vertical Aerospace showcased its electric "taxi" powered by a large, grey rechargeable battery that bolts to the belly of the aircraft and "slides off", according to Vertical Aerospace CEO Stuart Simpson.
The Valo aircraft reportedly reaches speeds of 150 miles per hour and will cost as much as an Uber Black to book and, according to the company, may be rolled out in cities as early as...

Two Artists Consider How Chicago Shapes Its Youth in ‘World in My Eyes’
Joy Machine is thrilled to present World in My Eyes, a duo exhibition of Chicago artists Kayla Mahaffey and Joseph Perez, a.k.a. Sentrock.
World in My Eyes is, first and foremost, rooted in the lives of everyday people. Both Sentrock and Mahaffey have long depicted friends and neighbors in their own Chicago neighborhoods, exploring how our city shapes its youngest residents. How are children cared for? How are their imaginations and dreams nurtured? These questions recur throughout both artists’ practices and always hinge on another: how do children thrive amid turmoil, whether political, cultural, or personal?

Father-Son Industrial Designers Create Lamps from Volcanic Stone
Alberto Meda and his son Francisco, both of them Italian industrial designers, designed these pendant lamps made out of volcanic stone.
Lava offcuts from stone processing company Ranieri were ground up and mixed with a binder, and the Medas were able to press the resultant composite into molds.
"Unlike marble, lava is not quarried," Francesco Meda explans. "It is gathered directly from the mountain. After an eruption the magma settles, becoming part of the terrain and forming blocks of lavic stone that can be crafted. The cutting process generates a large quantity of...

The...Versa58: A Modular System for Adding On to Your Swiss Army Knife
What if you could modify your Swiss Army knife with modules of your choice? That's what Las-Vegas-based EDC company Keyport is enabling with their Versa58 system. It's named for the keychain-sized Swiss Army Knives that are 58mm in length.
Once you pop the knife's press-fit handle sides—called scales—off, you attach an interface plate, and then the Versa58 modules can be magnetically attached to that.
Thus far they offer an LED flashlight, a slide-out ballpoint pen and a USB-C flash drive. They also offer their own aluminum scales, with or without a pocket clip.
