From NASA Lab to Everyday Life: A Tech Briefs 50th Anniversary Special

From NASA Lab to Everyday Life: A Tech Briefs 50th Anniversary Special

Over five decades, Tech Briefs has helped tell countless stories of NASA technology transfer, highlighting how discoveries made for space exploration find new life in products and applications here on Earth.

This special episode focuses on a remarkable example of tech transfer: a treadmill technology that began as a solution forexercising in reduced-gravity environments and has since helped people recover from injury, improve athletic performance, and maintain mobility as they age.


SAE Media Group’s Editorial Director Chitra Sethi speaks with Tom Allen and Sean Whalen, founders of Boost Treadmills. Boost Treadmills was founded in 2017 and prior to starting Boost, they each played key roles in the creation of AlterG®.

As Tech Briefs celebrates its 50th anniversary, we're reflecting on five decades of stories just like this one in its special 50th anniversary issue. It's both a look back at how far we've come and a look ahead at the technologies that will define the next generation of innovation.
