A special wetsuit has been developed that is able to make swimmers almost invisible to sharks.

Known as "Elude", the wetsuit works by obscuring the user's figure with unique colouration and shaping patterns to disguise swimmers in the water.

There has also been another wetsuit developed that does the opposite. With its zebra-like pattern, it actively deters sharks from approaching the swimmer as it could be seen as a dangerous food source.

The wetsuits themselves are not shark-proof but they are designed to reduce the chance of attacks.

A new device that is capable of cooling your drink to the perfect temperature has just reached its funding goal on Indiegogo.

Developed by Pronto Concepts, the "ProntoBev" can turn almost any drink cold in thirty seconds or less without ice. Users can see just how cold their beverage is using the built-in thermometer.

Its cooling mechanism is thanks to a special gel developed by the product's inventor, Alexander Simone.

Mr Simone spent a year designing, testing and redesigning the product before launching his campaign on the crowdfunding site.

The ProntoBev is large enough to fit a winebottle's worth of liquid but it can be used for other drinks to, such as water, juice, whiskey or even coffee.

A group of plucky volunteers decided to put themselves in front of a leaf blower which generated wind speeds of 185 mph.

The whole process was captured on camera and the results were hilarious. The footage shows people's faces completely changing shape due to the force of the wind

Most parents would agree: children grow up far too quickly. But they grow out of their clothes even quicker. A London-based designer wants to change that with a range of outerwear for kids that grows as the child does.

Called Petit Pli - French for 'little pleat' - the garments have an innovative pleat system that lets them expand in multiple directions but also contract back to their original size.

"It's designed for continuous fit adjustment, so it'll never be a little bit too short or a little bit too long," designer Ryan Mario Yasin, a graduate of the Royal College of Art in London, told Reuters. "It's always changing its shape and morphing with the child even in motion. So as the child is running around the pleats are deforming in both directions either folding together or expanding, and moving in synchrony with the child."

According to Yasin, children grow seven clothes sizes during their first two years, meaning parents are left with a lot of clothes that have barely been worn before they're too small for the child. Petit Pli was designed to save parents money and to reduce the waste in the fashion industry, he said.

With a background as an aeronautical engineer specialising in deployable structures, Yasin said his outfits embed a special structure in fabric that was inspired by the ancient Japanese art of origami.

"This is really engineering meets fashion. I've taken my knowledge of materials and folding origami and applied that to a product which is aimed at reducing the waste in the fashion industry," he said.

Petit Pli has been designed for children aged from four months to 36 months, and the expanding fabric eliminates discrepancies in children's sizes so they're always the perfect fit. Yasin said he approached the durability of his garments by regarding children as 'extreme athletes'; always on the move and in need of clothes that can keep up.

"It's super lightweight so you can layer it on top of your clothes at any time of the year. It's windproof and waterproof with a hydrophobic coating," said Yasin.

The patent-pending pleating process has been rigorously tested to prove that the pleats won't fall out with use, and the garments are even machine washable.

Yasin is now working on different sizes and designs and looking for commercial partners to scale-up production to bring Petit Pli to market.

Spanish scientist Sergi Santos designed silicone sex dolls with wigs and artificial brains that will not only earn him money but may also be used to staff brothels and help combat sex trafficking.

But the arrival of sex robots has divided opinion – this film by the Thomson Reuters Foundation explores the complex issues that have been raised by the increasingly life-like robots.

Uveneer is a cheaper alternative to the usual porcelain veneer procedure, and it can be completed in 90 minutes.

Created by Austrailian based dentist Dr. Sigal Jacobson, who had become frustrated with the amount of work it took to create the perfect veneer, she invented the Uveneer system to make it easier, faster and cheaper for dentists and their patients to receive the procedure.

The Uveneer kit uses templates to help perfectly apply composites to the teeth, making it more predictable and reliable than the regular methods.

Dentists can buy a Uveneer kit from participating suppliers in their regioN

Business Insider UK producers Leon Siciliano and David Ibekwe went to visit Dr. Bav Raindi, a chiropractor at the London Bridge Chiropractic, to see if spinal manipulation therapy could help with their back issues.

Working in an office environment means you could be sitting up to 8 hours a day, which could cause various problems with your spine.

Chirotherapy can help by discovering the points of discomfort within the body and applying pressure to the joints, producing a satisfying 'crack' sound which is the gas pressure dissolving within the joint.

Watch our producers go through a session to see if any of their issues could be alleviated.
