Hard water can leave hair feeling dry, skin feeling tight, and soap harder to rinse away. MakeMake believes it has a portable answer: PERLUO, a battery-free tumbler that prepares a small amount of softer water for personal cleansing. PERLUO is NOT a water bottle or a drinking-water purifier. Instead, it is meant for people to use water on their face, hair, or skin. Fill the bottle with tap water, add its replaceable cartridge, shake it for about 60 seconds, and use the treated water as part of a

Datacenters construction have become one of the most controversial topics in the United States (and elsewhere). People are asking whether the ones already arriving will raise electricity costs, overload the local grid, and bring more polluting generators into their neighborhoods. AES Tech, a South Korean startup, is pitching a technical answer to part of that problem: make hydrogen on site from liquid ammonia, then use it to replace some of the natural gas burned in a data centers power turbines

Getting clear dental aligners means building a sequence of slightly different aligners, each based on how a specific patients teeth are expected to move. Before the clear plastic trays can be formed, a lab needs the corresponding dental models. Carimatec, a Seoul-based 3D-printing company, thinks that repetitive but highly individualized workflow is exactly where industrial 3D printing starts to make economic sense. The company says its printers have produced more than 500,000 clear-aligner setu

A factory can buy precision cameras, robotics, and a new production line. What it cannot quickly buy is the trained eye that knows when a tiny scratch, fold, contaminant, or misalignment will become a failed phone, car component, or battery. That is the opportunity A.I.MATICS is chasing with AIM-T1 , an AI-powered visual-inspection platform for high-precision electronics. The company says a factory quality engineer can set up a new inspection task from just three to five good product samples, ra

Startups do not usually fail because nobody gives them a desk. They fail because the right engineer, buyer, researcher, investor or test environment is just out of reach when the company needs it most. That is one of my key takeaways after visiting Pangyo Techno Valley , Koreas large technology cluster south of Seoul. The location is often compared with Silicon Valley, but the more useful comparison is not about famous companies or startup valuations. It is about physical design. Pangyo puts you

Generative AI has made it much faster to produce a screen, mockup, or visual concept. But it has not solved the part of product design that often takes the longest: getting a team to agree on what to keep, what to change, and why. That is the business opportunity that Takeanap sees. Its product, D:bo , is not positioned as another AI generator for images or interfaces, at all. Instead, the South Korean startup wants to capture the decisions, feedback, and revision intelligence that accumulate af

If your game library is spread across Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo, there is no single place that shows a complete picture. Your playtime, purchases, ratings, screenshots, and achievements are scattered between platforms that were never designed to work together. Minimap wants to become that missing layer. The South Korean service lets players connect accounts across the major gaming ecosystems and bring their histories into a unified profile . The immediate promise is simple: see more

Amid ongoing debates regarding the decline of physical media in console gaming, Sony is defending its digital business model in a United States federal court against a class-action lawsuit filed by consumers.

A useful meeting record should do more than produce a transcript. It should let people who do not share a language follow the conversation as it happens , then turn that conversation into something the team can use afterward. That is the promise behind BizCrush , a multilingual meeting tool that combines live captions, translation, speaker labeling, summaries, and meeting reports. The startup is not positioning itself solely as a replacement for Zoom notes. It wants to capture the in-person conv

A sick vine rarely looks sick at the most pivotal moment: by the time a grower notices obvious leaf damage while walking the rows, a disease or pest problem may already have spread through part of the vineyard. DeepVisions thinks AI can drastically narrow that gap by examining drone or smartphone photos and directing growers to the spots that need attention first. We met the Korean startup who pitched their VisionPlus system which is designed to turn field imagery into a map of possible plant-he

The fastest way to use AI for homework is also the least useful : paste in the question, get the answer and hope some of it sticks. DABIDA is building an AI tutor around a different premise. Its GeniTeacher platform wants students to keep working on paper while the software watches the path they took to get there. The philosophy is that a final answer is a thin signal . A math problem can be wrong because a student misunderstood a concept, made an arithmetic slip, chose an inefficient method or

When we met at an in-person presentation in Seoul, Crosshub made a simple argument: an approval code can show that somebody entered a code, but it cannot necessarily prove who approved a payment, or whether that person understood what they were authorizing. Its answer is V-Pay , a proposed voice-based step-up check for payments. Voice interfaces are spreading into cars, smart glasses, kiosks, and were expecting a new wave of AI assistants. The interesting part of Crosshubs pitch is not that it w
