This may seem ironic, but get ready for a swimsuit that doesn't get wet. Frank Anthony swimwear is using something called hydrophobic nanotechnology and it's pare of the fabric, not a coating, so it's breathable. They've blown past their Kickstarter goal.

It works kind of like an elliptical machine on wheels. The electric motor helps to get up to about 15 MPH. It's small enough to fit in an elevator for urban commuting and goes on sale in the United States this fall for about $2000. You may need to work up your endurance on that walking bicycle in case this robot velociraptor decides to chase you down. A team from Korea has developed this raptor robot that can reach speeds up to about 28 MPH. It's not quite ready for the masses, yet, but it is terrifying.
