You Can Carry This Microwave Oven on Your Back and Other Future Tech

#HappyMonday! It’s another week and we’re back with more science and technology news of the future! Without further ado, let’s get started.

You Can Carry This Microwave Oven on Your Back

In a modern corporate environment, microwave ovens are potentially life savers. Especially in culture-rich countries like India, a majority of people rely on microwave ovens to heat their food. However, typically, they are very heavy and generate a ton of heat. The Adventurer from UK-based Wayv and NXP Semiconductors looks to change its bulky character by introducing a lightweight and portable microwave oven.

With only 200W of power, the portable battery-operated device weighs 1.2 kilograms and can operate for around 30 minutes on a single full charge. The company plans to release the thermos-sized device at a price of $199.

According to the company’s press release on GlobalNewsWire, "Designed to be compact, rugged, and light-weight, the Wayv Adventurer is intended to give people the flexibility to efficiently and conveniently heat food anytime and anywhere. It can serve a number of on-the-go cooking needs including heating nutritious meals quickly and easily, at the workplace, to support people affected by disasters or personnel at military bases and in the field."

"This type of project is new in the sense in that it mixes astronomy and the entertainment business. These shooting stars that are born through science function as a high-profit entertainment business, and the resulting funds will serve to further advance fundamental scientific research," said Lena Okajima, Founder and CEO of Star-ALE.
